Of course you're here for the Baked BBQ Buns . Tim Ho Wan has great buns ! but(t) don't be boring challenge yourself with some innards - Marinated Crispy Pork Intestine . Go ahead.
The baked Char Siew Bao tastes pretty unique. Overall the Dim Sum are decent and worth your money. The only downside is the long queue. So be prepared to spend at least 30 minutes to queue up.
BBQ Bun must try. Love the pork shrimp dumplings . Long queue must wait for 30minutes. Serving was fast though. Prefer 3 person since most servings are in 3 pieces.
Funny enough I always go in first ahead of the queue if I am dining solo. Food comes fast too, so makes a speedy meal for singles on the go :D
Shiok ! Good! Delish! The char siew buns 👍 Ate first time and ordered 2 more sets to bring home!
The baked BBQ pork buns are SO worth the ridiculous queue. Once seated, food comes quickly & the staff are very nice. In particular, Mimi was wonderful & didn't judge my 4 orders of har gow.
Movie date night in The Cathay. They have bad food options there so we came to Tim Ho Wan at Plaza Singapura. You got me addicted to the baked bun with BBQ Pork .
Baked bbq pork buns are the best! Plus: lotus wrapped sticky rice , dumplings , and so much more.
The BBQ pork buns were nice but nothing mind blowing. The vermicelli roll with beef , however, was surprisingly tasty. I would also recommend the prawn dumplings ("har gow") - fluffy and meaty!
Between vermicelli roll choice, go for shrimp which is much tastier than BBQ pork ! Pan fried carrot cake is remarkably different from the typical ones in Singapore wirh like real radish bits.
Overrated!The har gao skin is thick and prawn not nice too. The siew mai is soso also! But I like the baked cha siew bun , pork liver chee cheong fun and egg white crabmeat spring roll .
BBQ pork bun was great, but you already know that. Generally everything is of good to great quality here. I like the vermicelli roll with pig liver .

Must haves: baked bbq pork buns and steamed beancurd skins (eat these with the worchestshire sauce). Super busy on weekends, but quietest between 3-4pm
I loved the polo pork buns (tho a bit too sweet and oily) and the spinach dumplings . Ingredients were super fresh and not too pricey . Siew Mai was surprisingly mediocre.
while the carrot cake and the BBQ pork buns stood out among the 4 heavenly dishes, they are neither michelin nor queue worthy. it's worth a first try though!
Considering the challenges of different food sources, manpower, overheads etc, this Sg brunch of the famous HK dimsum joint should be commended for keeping to its high standards and quality of food.
I acknowledge that food quality has improved a wee bit.. Good attempts in providing local fusion, like Wanton in Laksa Soup . I still maintain though that they go against authentic Dim Sum culture.
It's pretty pricey for a casual dimsum joint. In fact it's priced more like a restaurant . It's ok if standards are maintained but the main problem here is that the food is getting saltier and saltier.
Some items are above average- har gow, siew mai , baked char siew bao , malai cake and carrot cake . Will only come again if there is no queue or just a short wait .
I come here for the classic 90s Hong Kong music from the likes of Andy Lau, Jackie Chung, Leon Lai and Aeron Kwok. Love it..
The steamed egg cake is the best thing here, on par with the BBQ pork buns .
I love the BBQ pork bun , carrot cake and osathamus cake . Had a lovely service lady who was polite and really thoughtful!
The BBQ Pork Buns are worth the queue!! Try to come early in the afternoon when the queue is not too long. I managed to get a table after 30mns, not too bad for a Saturday
Apparently the cheapest Michelin starred restaurant in the world. Get the glutinous rice in lotus leaf . Get everything.
BBQ pork bun tasted soooo yummy, it is a must try! And so with their congee !
Once you get a seat, your food gets served fast. there are a few wrong orders/ missing orders. Okay food at normal dim sum pricing. Like the crab egg white spring roll , meat bun & radish cake .
If you're with a group, make sure you're in multiples of three because most of the dumplings are 3 pcs. :)
There's 4 signature dishes. So how is it possible they are out of 2 of 4 so called Heavenly Kings: BBQ pork buns & fried carrot cake ?!? At 6pm! What are you going to sell for e rest of e night?!
Try garlic , mushroom , spinach dumplings . These are better than the prawns . The other must try is rice with chicken , sausage & mushroom .
Best is to come in twos. When a pair of seats is empty, they will let u jump the queue and go ahead. They will not wait for another 2 seats to be empty and let a 4-person party take it.
Great dim sum , amazing char siu po lo pao, good siu mai too.
The mago sago is so thick! They don't compromise on quality!
visited at around 3pm on sunday and the queue was very short ; recommend the time for those who don't want to wait.
Come here at no later than 10.30am on a weekday if you want to avoid long queues. Best to come as a party of 3, cos most items come in 3s.
for me, the food is amazingly good. Hardly could find dim sum food taste quite original.
Ok. The BBQ pork bun is like nothing I tasted before. Its like Roti Boy filled with pork . (Indonesians know what Roti Boy is) also the shiomai is really next level goodness
There is always a queue, from opening to closing. The shortest queue is between lunch and dinner . If you go at 3pm, your wait should shrink to 15 minutes.
They issue a queue number and send an SMS when your table is ready. Try the holy grail of THW dim sum : baked bun with BBQ pork ($4.50/three pieces). Read more
Flavors are quite accurate to HK dim sum ... Slightly different from local dim sum . The 80s Cantopop is hilarious!
pretty awesome food. fast & decent service despite the crowd. they need another outlet for sure. ;+)
Price is cheap compare other dim sum restaurant . . And Must try the cha siew bao .. super yummy !! But the queue is terribly long .... tats is a minus point unless you have d time to wait .
BBQ pork buns are a must-order, but be careful when biting into it. Steaming hot pork filling
Get the char siew bao ! It's the best. Go at around 5.30pm or at 8.45pm when the queue isn't that long.
Chee Cheong Fun with Prawn ... Nothing fantaz either! Luckily they have chilli to enhance taste!
Baked pork bun was too buttery for me but I can see why it would appeal to the general public. Don't get the beef vermicelli roll - the skin isn't soft at all!! Steamed beancurd skin roll is good.
Baked BBQ Pork Buns are a must try. Everything else was decent, at best. Har gow just so-so. Service was quick and friendly !
To be honest, nothing special for their dim sum , most people just crazy about their affordable price one star michelin in HK, but in SG there are better places to eat.
Beside d signature char siew bun , these tim sum are as good!
Great! Although the queue was long but it moved really quickly, but they do not have much variety of food.
Smoothies corner is loved!!!! It's healthier choice as they uses low fat yogurt!!! Yum yum yums - 💗Jojoty💗
Love xo carrot cake, fresh chicken with rosy wine, hk milk tea, Siew Mai etc - Sijie Goh
Must orders: 小笼包, Red Bean pancake, Mee Sua Kueh & Custard Pao! - Fey C.
Nice dim sum (better than the one at Jln Besar) and opens late too! - Saudade
Favorite bubble tea! Earl grey milk tea is the best. Plum green tea and passion fruit creations are yummy too. - Jenya S
Try the Platinium Service !! Fantastic experience ... - BenxxxO
