When you think of authentic Cantonese dim sum, One Dim Sum (一點心) is a name that often tops the list. Known for its Michelin recognition and wallet-friendly prices, the main branch at Prince Edward is currently undergoing renovations—but thankfully, their Tsim Sha Tsui outlet offers the same comforting flavors in a convenient location.
The VibeThe Tsim Sha Tsui branch carries the same casual, no-frills charm as the original. It’s clean, efficient, and all about the food. Expect a lively atmosphere with quick turnover—perfect for a fuss-free dim sum fix.
What We Ordered & Loved
Here’s what stood out during our visit:
Char Siu Bun (叉燒包)
Fluffy, soft buns filled with savory char siu. The pork is flavorful but not overpowering, making it a gentle introduction to the meal.Siu Mai (燒賣)
Steamed to perfection, topped with fish roe and a plump prawn. A classic done right—juicy and satisfying.
Water Chestnut Cake (馬蹄糕)
Sweet and delicate, but what makes it special is the crunch of water chestnut pieces embedded in the cake. That contrast in texture is a pleasant surprise.
Carrot Cake with Prawns and Meat (蘿蔔糕)
Soft and pan-fried to a golden crust. I loved dipping it into vinegar—the tangy kick elevates the savory flavors beautifully.
Fried Prawn Fritters (炸蝦卷)
My favorite this time! Crispy on the outside, generously filled with thick, juicy prawns inside. Each bite is pure indulgence.
The Experience
Service is quick and friendly, and the ordering process is straightforward: register for a table, grab an order sheet, and start ticking off your choices while you wait. Service is fast and friendly.
Prices remain incredibly reasonable for the quality—making One Dim Sum a go-to for both locals and visitors craving authentic flavors without the hefty bill.
Total Spend: HKD 205 for this meal, which is excellent value for the variety and quality we enjoyed.
Why It’s Worth It
Even without the Prince Edward flagship, One Dim Sum continues to deliver on its promise: Michelin-level dim sum at everyday prices. The Tsim Sha Tsui branch is a great alternative, especially if you’re exploring the area or shopping nearby.
