One Dim Sum

really good quality, those fried football shaped ones are helllla good, too bad not much meat inside them.

I’ve been coming to One Dim Sum ever since I found out about it in my first year of university. 4 years later and I’m still going to One Dim Sum whenever I get the chance.
The price is really decent, even with eating as much as you can split between two people the total only comes to about 80 $ each. Which is very decent.
The ‘standard’ dim sum dishes are the best: siu mai, ha gao, cha siu bao.
The only negative about the restaurant is: (1) there’s no pre-​booking available, no matter how many people you are. Most dim sum places allow booking with ‘x minimum’ number of people at least, but One Dim Sum doesn’t take any bookings at all. So if you’re trying to get a table during the lunch rush you can end up waiting 2 hours. Last time I was there, I ended up waiting for 1.5 hours even though it was just me and a friend. (2) Only payment option is cash, although this isn’t a huge issue since the total of the bill has never gone above 200 $ for me.
The service is decent, but considering how busy they always are and how small the restaurant is, it’s difficult for the waitresses to keep up with tea serving.
I’m a fan of One Dim Sum, but waiting over an hour to eat every single time you go there… it’s a bit much. This has become more common in the past few years as the place has grown in popularity but they still only have the same 30 seats available. 3 years ago when you came late afternoon after the lunch rush, it used to be pretty empty. You could also get a seat pre-​lunch rush easily (before noon), but now it seems as though it’s always busy, no matter what time. To be honest, there are other dim sum places just as good where you don’t have to wait over an hour to get a table. One Dim Sum is great, but not worth standing in line for every single time you want to eat there.

Love that they offer picture menu of their dim sum with 8 or 9 different languages… definitely tourist friendly. My group came here after trying Tim Ho Wan the other day so our expectations were pretty up there. Although we ended up comparing each dish to THW, this place did not disappoint. Their pork shumai was definitely the highlight. Wish I could have some RN :(

Good dimsum, but not so amazing I’ll dream about this for years to come. Still, way better than the states (at least near me). I was just disappointed after having dimsum earlier in the week that just blew my socks off. The dimsum here is priced really well. I thought the shumai was great, and I don’t even like shumai. I also liked the shrimp wrapped noodles :).
Not much more I can say. 4 people at to their hearts content for around $ 32USD.

Best dim sum in Hong Kong! Previously awarded a Michelin star, once you eat here you’ll know why. Their meatballs are a must try, no doubt my all time favourite. The mango dessert is also unlike any other! Menu with photos and English makes it easy for those who need it. Efficient service is a bonus. So stoked to have eaten here!

Was in Hong Kong for a business trip for a few days and looking for some good dim sum. After doing some research and inquire from the Hotel staff in Chinese, they recommended one dim sum. I was with couple of coworkers who never had dim sum before, so I had to make their first experience top notch.
We started the day by seeing the big Buddha, we had breakfast at 7:30am, by the time we got to one dim sum, it was around 3:00pm, you can imagine we were all starving! For the entire morning, I was setting expectations and telling them what dim sum was all about. They were beyond excited with anticipation.
Even at 3:00 pm, the restaurant was packed, luckily, we waited only 5 minutes for our table. Once we sat down, my coworkers encouraged me to order everything from the menu, they promised me they can finish what i put infront of them. Let me tell you, we might as well order the entire menu, we ended up ordering 20 plates for just 3 of us. From shui Mai, to har kow, rice rolls, pork bun, sticky rice, (you get the idea). Everything was delicious. My expectations were high and did not disappoint. We devoured the first 10 – 12 plates with ease, then we slow down a lot. The waitress didn’t even ask us and just pack up the last 4 fishes for us. The locals were literally laughing at us every time the waitress came over with more food. We didn’t care because it was a great experience, the food was delicious and the waitress was very friendly. So the whole experience was great. Oh yea, it’s super cheap, well worth the trip, definitely a must hit spot if you are in HK.

Great dim sum at reasonable prices. This place was recommended to us by a friend and we were not let down! Happened to be in the neighborhood early and ended up snatching a table before the queue built up outside. Food came fast and was very delicious!
We had steamed dumplings and veal, which came with complimentary tea that was refilled continuously without us having to ask. Our favorite was by far the dessert, which was mango custard rolls. They were so yummmmmmmmyyyy! Could’ve gone for seconds but was too stuffed.
6 dishes ran us just under 150 :-)

Dim Sum in Hong Kong is a can’t miss! Almost have to eat dim sum every day cause they are priced good and taste food as well. When I visited Hong Kong, I wanted to try as many dim sum places as possible so gave One Dim Sum a try because of the good reviews as well as Michelin Star Rated.
It is located only a few walk away after exiting Prince Edward Station. So not a difficult place to find and is only a few minute walk from the MTR. The moment I found it and walked right up to the store, there was already a long line and it was around 10 a. m and I had to wait about 45 minutes and there a few seats outside for you to sit at and wait. Make sure you get number as well as an order menu. Even though I speak and understand Cantonese, I do not know how to read Chinese, so an English Menu was really helpful. So make sure you get a number, grab a menu to look at pictures of the food they offer as well as the order menu, so you can have your food choices made up beforehand and have them fulfill your order quickly once you are seated inside.
Now to the foods. I ordered Shiu Mai, Preserved Egg Congee, Custard Bun, Har Gow, Steamed Shrimp Rice Noodles, and BBQ Pork Steamed Bun. May I say everything was great, not too oily, warm and the congee was just the right amount for two people. Definitely fresh dim sum and hot. The orders came out pretty fast, and I finished them like a hungry foodie. There was no tea pot so you would have to call for refill. Custard Bun and BBQ Pork Steamed Bun came in two and was big with melting custard and good pork that were both delicious. Shiu Mai and Har Gow was great as well. Rice Noodles was great as well. Overall, the food was great, and priced was definitely alright as well.
Overall, the foods are great and I cannot get over the taste of dim sum in Hong Kong compared to the ones in L.A. There may not be a big difference, but after you have tried many from Hong Kong and tried the ones here there is a bit of a difference in taste be it freshness or taste. The only negative would be the wait as well as the seating where it may be a bit small and compacted. Service was just ok, price is great. One Dim Sum is one dim sum restaurant I would not miss out the next time I am in Hong Kong!

Food taste so good and service was good. I could say it’s better than some starred restaurant.

There’s usually a long line for this restaurant. Try to go off hours, either before or after the lunch rush. Quick casual place for good dim sum without the frills of a more formal Cantonese style dim-​sum restaurant.

If you have patience and have a great love for dim sum, perhaps the one hour plus wait at this place will be worth your time. This small little restaurant gets crazy packed and if you go near lunch time, expect the wait to be at least 1 hour or more long.
Based on reviews and personal recommendations, my friends and I came here for dim sum. Once you arrive, make sure you check in with the host/​hostess, get a number, grab a menu, and proceed to wait till your number is called. While waiting, make sure to look through the menu (English is included) and make your order selections off the ordering slip. When it’s closer to when you’ll get seated, the hostess will collect your ordering slip to help expedite the process on getting your food ready and such when you’re in the restaurant. Be aware of the number calling! Many people will try to cut through and ask for number status, so don’t get lost in the crowd.
Man…once all of us got a seat, it was feastin’ time. Most of the dim sum dishes tasted delicious and fresh. Portions were moderate and if you’re in a group of 3, it’s a perfect number since a lot of items came in that amount. My most favorite are the rice rolls stuffed with something in it. Tried all the different options and each was solidly awesome. If you’re adventurous, I would recommend the chicken feet! It’s quite flavorful and juicy, and the abundance of skin on the feet makes it feel meatier than the average chicken feet feel. For dessert or something refreshing, I highly recommend the mango dessert. It’s sweet and refreshing with the yummy real mango piece inside of it.
Overall, the food was great and decently priced however, the service was a bit lacking. Right before my friends and I could finish our final bites and to figure out the bill, we were already ushered out by the staff to get up and get going. We would have been fine getting up while eating since there is a huge crowd outside, but when 2 – 3 people start scolding/​hissing at us in Cantonese (which 2 of us don’t understand at all) to leave, it’s quite a turn off. Despite the great food, I didn’t enjoy my experience too much with the long wait and rude staff service.

If you find yourself in Hong Kong, and you only have time to go to one dim sum restaurant, let this be the one!
While visiting Hong Kong, I was able to check out several dim sum establishments (including Tim Ho Wan) but One Dim Sum easily out-​shined them all. This one Michelin star rated restaurant provides extremely high quality dim sum in a no frills, small, but comfortable setting. Service was nothing to write home about however very attentive. The dishes I was able to try was the shui mai, spare ribs, shrimp dumplings (har gow), beef balls, water chestnut cake, and fried dumplings. Everything was amazing and easily the best I’ve ever had.
The only negative I found is that there is always a wait and since there are only a few tables, they will rush you out if you finished your meal and don’t order more food.
Protip for visitors & tourists: Make sure to write your name down on the list and ask for a time estimate. Then while waiting check out the bird market a few blocks away.

One Dim Sum is amazing, and I am never going to Tim Ho Wan again.
Sure, my boyfriend and I had to wait for about 45 minutes at this small restaurant on a weekday for lunch, and my stomach was grumbling for a long time, but the dishes were incredibly delicious. Only one type of tea is served. Menus are available in English (with pictures!), which is so helpful for us ABCs who can’t read Chinese! We ordered the standard fare of shu mai, char siu bao, ham shui kok, shrimp rice roll, and sesame balls. Ham shui kok is definitely one of their best, with a perfectly crispy exterior but soft and tasty interior. We noticed that a lot of the other patrons ordered the mango coconut dessert as well, but by then, we were stuffed.
What makes the dim sum so good? For one, each dish comes out piping hot from the kitchen, instead of sitting in a cart or who knows where all day. Sadly, my memory escapes me as to the exact differences of each dish, but my overall impression was that this place offered the best dim sum I have had so far.

Astounding dim sum for an extremely reasonable price. Seating is small, staff is super nice and friendly. Favorite was the shaomei, best I ever had!!!

I am fom California and we have some very good dim sum resturants from San Francisco, Los Angeles and Monterey Park. Even though the selection is very limited all the items we had are very tasty. I have to say this would be my #1 Dim Sum Resturant. The shu mai, haw gow, chicken palm, shrimp cheng fun, and the mango dessert.

Shu mai, turnip cake, short ribs, shrimp dumplings with chives, steamed vermicelli roll with beef, steamed vermicelli roll with shrimp and leeks. Everything was very tasty. I usually need chili or mustard sauce, but this place didn’t need them! I’m not a particular fan of shu mai but theirs were tender, juicy, and flavorable.
We waited 30 minutes in line around 8pm so I recommend coming here during off-​peak hours. Cash only and with a Michelin star.

The food that we managed to get at One Dim Sum was really quite excellent. Unfortunately, by the time we arrived (8:00 PM) they were sold out of most of the classics (soup dumplings, fried spring rolls). The fried dumplings and shrimp dumplings were probably the best dishes on offer, with the bean curd spring rolls coming in a close second. It took a while to get seated, although we were a relatively large group of 7 – about 1 hour. I’d say the wait was worth it; the service is friendly although not overly attentive. Try and submit your order long before you are seated so as to get your food much faster once you do get a table! Cheque splitting is also quite easy once you reach the till.

First meal and stop in HK (after the hotel). Small, packed, and a queue to get in.
I ordered the shu mai and har gow. Piping hot and tasty and juicy and medium sized. Tasty.
Good for a quick bite to eat before wandering the goldfish market nearby

To those who haven’t been in Hong Kong for that long, One Dim Sum is a secret dimsum gem tucked away in the bumbling corners of Prince Edward. One of the best giveaways of its location would be the line that forms outside on weekend mornings.
One Dim Sum has fantastic dishes across every spectrum: carbs, meats, and veggies. My friend and I ordered ten things off the menu because we were so excited about the food! Needless to say, they were more than delicious.
My favorite two dishes from One Dim Sum would have to be the ham shui kok (fried dumplings) and the congee. Their flavors were quite on point and each bite made me want to eat more. If you’re reading this review at One Dim Sum, be excited! There’s so much goodness waiting to be eaten.

OH MY DELICIOUS. One Dim Sum is a cozy, little restaurant. We arrived at around 2pm on a Friday and thankfully beat the lunch rush. The wait time was 10 – 15 minutes. Once we sat down and ordered, the food came pretty quickly.
The service was great, and of the popular dim sum places we’ve tried (ex: Tim Ho Wan), we definitely liked One Dim Sum the best! The menu was limited, but just enough.
My favorites: steamed pork buns, baked BBQ pork buns, egg custard buns, vermicelli with beef, Siu Mai. I always ordered steamed shrimp dumplings (xiao jiao), but the one here tasted off, which was one downside of this place.
They also served a mango custard dessert with coconut shavings. The mango was very fresh! It was really good, but by the end of the meal, we could not consume another bite (so.much.food.). For 8 dishes, our total came out to 162HKD for 3 people, which is such a steal for such a scrumptious meal!

Very small, cozy, crowded seating, busy and fast paced. There’s always a huge line out the door, I think mainly because they can only seat so few people inside.
The décor is clean and new looking. I didn’t have very high expectations for this small dim sum place, but after ordering a few things, they really impressed me with their dim sum dishes. The highlights were the rice rolls, the shrimp dumpling and their DELICIOUS HAM SUI KOK. I don’t even liked fried things and I LOVED their ham sui kok. They totally nailed it!
I wish I had time to come here again for their dim sum, but there was just too little time and too many other restaurants to try in Hong Kong. Oh well, hopefully I’ll come visit again and this place will still be here the next time I visit!

this little place serves very fine food !
I basically ordered way too much and didn’t think I could finish but it was all so tasty that I managed (hurray !.. I’m a fat bastard !! ;-)
I think there are less choices here than other larger dim sum places which to me means they can really focus on making their dishes perfect … I will go back again for sure !! The staff is also very nice

The reviews on Unilocal isn’t too hot for this place, but it is like 4.5 stars on OpenRice.
I love One Dim Sum. This was by far one of the best dim sum experiences that I have ever been a part of. The food was so fresh and hot. I enjoyed the lists of options, as compared to Tim Ho Wan in Sham Shui Po. The 35+ minute wait was well worth it for authentic dishes such as chicken feet and cheung fan. It is also a good place to practice your Cantonese.
It is best to go with a party of 4 and simply order the entire menu. It came out to be roughly $ 12 USD per person for about 12 dishes.

Not bad, overrated because of their Michelin Stars. Always filled with tourists big line ²⁴⁄₇. I mean you can way better yum cha at other places around MK. But this has an authentic taste

I had high expectations for this spot after seeing all the great reviews on Unilocal.However, the food was disappointing. It was alright, but not worth it making a special trip here. There are few seats here, as it’s a small restaurant, so the customers are squeezed tight together. My boyfriend and I were seated at a booth, but told to sit next to each other, so they could seat 2 strangers across from us. Since there was no room for our bags, it was brought behind the cash register and kept there during our meal. It was rather awkward, as the little girl in front of me started to draw on the wall with her pencil and was constantly swinging her legs.
Overall, the food was okay. The only dish I would definitely recommend is the Steamed cake Malay style.
Ultimately, I feel that the dining experience here was mediocre and rushed so that they could clear the table ASAP and seat the next customers.

One Dim Sum was a restaurant I found out about online after learning that it was a local favorite and that it fared better than many much more expensive Cantonese restaurants in Hong Kong. Overall, good experience but I must warn of a few things:
— Expect minimal or no English. If you speak Cantonese, you’re much better off. They do have a tourist menu with pictures /​some English. And since you write your order down on a sheet to be submitted, it’s not that much of a problem.
— Each time you mark off ‘1’ on an item on the order sheet, you’re going to receive 2 items per order. Example: 2 steamed pork buns. Which are delicious by the way.
— Hot tea only. Had to run out to a store to purchase nice iced tea. Since it was crazy hot that day, I don’t care how it looked. I just wasn’t down for hot tea with my meal.
— Also, as per the usual in Hong Kong, no restrooms, oddly.
— I don’t know if it’s their regular dessert but the mango treats were out of control good. Since it was scribbled on a blackboard, I couldn’t tell you if this is a usual thing they have.
Everything ordered was delicious (from the pork buns, to the garlic beef), and if in Hong Kong again, I’d come back, even if its slightly out of the way.

I love the food at One Dim Sum! The restaurant does not have all the dishes as a normal dim sum restaurant has and the place is not too big and the tables are cramped together — but that’s the charm. Since I knew it was quite a popular restaurant we went there early and I hear locals being baffled that so many foreigners have started finding their little hidden gems.
The food was spectacular and my company and I really enjoyed every single dish that was served. My favourite was the bbq pork pineapple bun (叉燒菠蘿包) which was the best one I have ever had. One Dim Sum is a must go to place!
