It was a rainy day and we had a craving for something warm. We decided on trying a dim sum place and happen to find this gem. We ordered the beef brisket soup, dumplings, sticky rice, broccoli and baked bbq pork buns. Everything was delicious but our favorite dish was the bbq pork buns. We order two more orders to go because it was magic in our mouths. I have told anyone that will listen to me to try out this restaurant. read more

Went last Monday. For the hype I thought I was walking into a classical Dim Sum with cart service and variety of different types. I want to say maybe there are 15 items on the menu... The Chinese broccoli sooo good and fresh. The dim sum was good, the items they had. I'm more disappointed in the selection of items and the prices. Most expensive dim sum ever. It' was ok. read more

So mid..so incredibly terribly mediocre. Was told the wait was 1.5-2 hours, ended up waiting 3 hours. Portions were very very small and pricey and nothing was show stopping or particularly flavorful. I would agree with the majority of reviews that most things were pretty bland here. They were all over the place getting the right items to the table and it surprised me that despite having a very limited dim sum menu, nothing was particularly good? The BBQ buns were well done although pale in comparison to Mei Lai Wah's very similar buns in NYC. Pork ribs in black bean sauce also stood out. Otherwise we got the siu mai, har gao, beef ball, chicken feet, fried dumplings, congee, wonton soup, veggies, and custard sesame buns. The only things I would say to definitely avoid is the wonton soup and the veggies. Overall, not sure any restaurant is worth waiting 3 hours for. Given the plethora of quality dim sum options Houston offers, this one definitely wasn't. If you really are determined to come, join the Yelp waitlist hours ahead from the comfort of your home. And run an errand or maybe five while you remain on that waitlist. read more

Came here today for Dimsum, we waited a while for a table but the food was the best in town. I am very impressed with Phoebe, the waitress today, she is so cute and sweet. We will be back soon. read more

The food was less than mediocre and that's with only having about 15-20 items on the menu. Service was by far one of the worst services I've ever had. It was me and my husband and it took over an hour for the entire meal and we only ordered 6 dishes. I must say that reserving a spot online ahead of time was the only good thing about this place. I wanted to wait until the "hype" was over to try this place and now I wish I would have just waited longer or not tried this place at all. The only decent dish was the Baked BBQ bun but it was so cheap on the filling that when you took a bite, you could see that it was barely filled 1/3 of the bun. The sugar on the outer crust was different but, overall, the food was not worth the wait or hype, or price. The chicken feet were bland and cold. The Har Gow was over-steamed and just broke apart as soon as you picked it up. The Pan Fried Turnip cake was so oily, it left a film on my lips. I couldn't even finish one piece without feeling like I was going to gag. My husband ordered the Sui Mai and Pan Fried Noodles (not pictured) and those were just okay to him and he's a fairly easy eater. We had to ask for water 4 different times and our waiter kept raising her hand either to say okay or brush us off? Either way, she was rude and we still never got our water... would I come back? No. Would I recommend this place to my family and friends? No. This place is a big NO. Go back to where you know the food is good which is in Bellaire or Kim Son in Sugarland and wait the 30 minutes to an hour for food that you know won't disappoint. read more

I was hoping for more robust flavor.... but as other's have said, just standard stuff. And fortunately we are spoiled in Houston with a plethora of options for every food type and nationality. This is especially true for Dim Sum. So this is an open plea to Tim Ho Wan to step up its game and flavor profile. Now don't get me wrong, this is a good option for dim sum, especially in this part of town. I really enjoyed the bbq buns and the black bean ribs - the service was friendly and fast, and the restaurant was clean. And overall the, dim sum was okay..... I'm just asking for bolder flavors and a WOW factor that a restaurant with this pedigree should easily deliver. read more

Everything was FANTASTIC, from the delicious food to the great service! Andy, the manager was super attentive and constantly checked on us, as well as all the other customers in the restaurant. The staff was efficient and the food came out quickly. 10/10 would make the drive from Pearland to come here again! read more

Like many others, I have been anticipating their opening for a long time. I visited at 5pm on Monday. The restaurant was about 1/3 full. I was the only one who was waiting for a seat, standing at the hostess booth. 3 different employees with green and red uniforms walked up to the stand and did not acknowledge me. Not 1 eye contact. Not a hello. Not a welcome. One of the ladies even grabbed her phone from the stand and started using her phone in front of me while I'm standing right in front of her. I asked her can I be seated and she shrugged me off. I continued to stand there for at least 5 minutes before taking action of walking on the dining floor and waving down someone to ask to be seated. After being seated it took 23 minutes before a waitress asked me what I wanted to drink. I told her I'm ready to order as well. I ordered xiu Mai, chicken feet, har cow, and bbq pork buns. Everything was subpar except the bbq pork buns. The bbq pork buns were fire. Terrible customer service. Train your staff before opening the business! I DO NOT recommend this place to anyone, unless they are ordering the bbq pork buns Togo. read more

When I grade Tim Ho Wan locations, I grade them to each other. They are deserving of their own dim sum category. The only item we ordered here that did not match up to the other locations was the Pork Lo Mein. The Har gow were even better than usual. Excellent service and speed so glad to see Tim in Texas!! read more

Came at 11:15 for 11:30 opening on Friday and was fourth in line. Food came out within 10 mins and slowly got everything served within 20 mins, which is very reasonable and a good pace for us. The service was great, zero complaints. Friendly and cheerful. Ordered; Meatballs with bean curd : 4/5. It's got an herby taste so order only if u like herbs. Ha Gow - best in Houston. Not the biggest size but definitely best skin with fresh shrimp. 5/5 Siu Mai - pretty good. 4.5/5. Baked bbq bun - other Tim Ho wan locations are better but it's good for Houston. 3/5 Lava sesame ball - sooooo good. Most places are oily but this isn't too bad for me. 6/5 heheh. Egg rolls - 1/5. Skip. Omg. It was tiny compared to other locations and the eggs were over cooked. Rubber!!!! Pfffft. Why only 4 stars? Cuz of the price!!!! High dollar for dim sum. read more

I think it was mediocre at best. It's a little on the pricey end of dim sum. The food was okay, but the place is not clean. I always bring wipes with me wherever we go because of my child, and I was glad I had some because our table was sticky and the booth had food crumbs. Our waiter wasn't that attentive after our initial order, so by the time we were done waiting for him to come back for a 2nd round we just got tired of waiting and left. It seems like a good spot if you want to bring a bigger group, but I personally don't think I'll come back. read more

The Baked bbq pork buns were delicious. I didn't realize how small they were though. The crispy and sweet exterior encases the fluffy bread and thick and sweet bbq filling. The Sweet osmanthus jelly with goji berries sounded unique. The diamond-shaped jelly had floating osmanthus flowers and goji berries. It was just slightly sweet. I highly recommend it as it seems to be a really good version of the dish. The Steamed "crystal" dumplings with shrimp and chives had the freshest wrapper. It was thick, translucent and bouncy. The wrapper held strong under the weight of the fillings and didn't break. I don't order it during dim sum so the taste reminds me of the Vietnamese banh bot loc without the dumpling shape. The Siu Mai (steamed pork and shrimp dumplings with goji berry) had large chunks of bouncy pork and shrimp. The wrappers were a little dried out when we got the dish but tasted yummy. The Sticky rice in lotus leaf (chicken, shiitake, Chinese sausage) was hot and plump. The rice had the sticky consistency and taste you expect with an extra fluffiness. All of the fillings were evenly coated with the sweet and savory sauce. It's a good take on the dish. The Steamed rice with chicken came topped with slivers of ginger and, I think, dried lily flowers. It had a bit of sauce in the center hidden under all the chicken and ginger. I think I would have liked it better if there was more sauce and it was sticky rice instead. The steamed rice was a little too wet for me. The ginger flavor retained its bite during the steaming. The Steamed beef ball with bean curd skin had really juicy meatballs on top of bean curd sheets. I recommend it if you want to try any of the bean curd dishes. The Steamed bean curd with shrimp, meat and vegetables is bean curd rolls filled with shrimp, meat and julienned vegetables covered in a brown sauce. I didn't care for the brown sauces that covered both bean curd dishes but especially this one since it was a little lukewarm. The rolls themselves were good though I thought I needed a bowl of rice to accompany it. Usually I enjoy bean curd, but the steaming seems to emphasize the smell too much. The Steamed egg cake was a really tender and crumbly sponge cake with an eggy flavor. The steamed shrimp dumplings were good. The shrimp has a sweeter flavor in this dumpling than usual. Overall, most of the dishes met expectations. The osmanthus jelly and sticky rice in lotus leaf were surprise favorites. I did notice one of the staff swiping their nose with their gloves hands while in the dining area. There's only two stalls in the women's restroom and one of the soap dispensers wasn't working. The dining area (tables and dishware) appeared clean though our water container was a little dirty. There was a 30 minute delay in getting our second order, so either it was forgotten and we reminded them of the dishes or that's the usual wait when it's busy. There are (3) dining areas: near the "bar", large dining room or behind the large and fancy doorways (larger parties). The menu is smaller than the usual dim sum areas in Houston/Katy. read more

We were not satisfied with the service. We waited a long time for food and asked for white rice to go with our 1 dish they brought out first, and it took a long time and the food that we were eating with got cold. We saw them bring our food to another table and that other table stuck there Chopsticks into it ate it put their back into the bowl and they realize they made a mistake brought it back to the kitchen and continue to bring it back out to our table. We refused the rest of the food and asked to cancel the rest of our order. We won't be coming back to this restaurant. read more

Tim Ho Wan - Eggplant, pork spare ribs , shrimp and chive steam dumplings - So delicious. Angela was on top of everything and awesome! - Dim Sum Near Me - Katy, Texas

I would say it is not worth the wait, everything is pretty standard nothing really outstanding from other dim sum places However, the management and food safety issues are more concerning rather than their mediocre foods. All of our plates were very dirty and not clean, with dried green union and meat leftover on it. Disgusting The waiter gave us the check in the middle of meal, I felt to be pushed out in hurry. Nobody cared our tea pot was empty when I flipped over the pot lid Overall , everything is just ok. Don't expect too much from here read more

This place is great! Taste like REAL Cantonese dim sum! I don't understand why there is so many bad review. Maybe you guys are used to the fake dim sum. The shrimp dumplings: was steamed perfect, most of the places in houston has broken dumpling skin. Siu Mai: has good balance of pork shrimp and shitaki mushrooms. Sesame ball with salty egg lava filling: it's full of flavor of sesame skin, and perfect amount of lava filling, sweet but not too sweet. It was perfect!

There was a lot of hype about this restaurant. I was excited about trying it. We stopped by today. Great service. The steamed shrimp dumplings were delicious and fresh and very unique. But respectfully the rest of our food was lackluster. The noodles were simply not appetizing at all. Dry, flavorless. The chili oil dumplings were fine but not anything special. The ribs were again, just so so. I had high hopes. But I would not drive out here again. read more

Tim Ho Wan - Dim Sum Near Me - Katy, Texas

Very disappointed. I had been looking forward to visiting because it was a place I hadn't been to and had some good reviews. The staff was friendly and very attentive and the restaurant was clean. Those were the only positive things that I can say. There was barely any selections and was said they didn't have fried taro puff, xa xiu bao, among other popular dim sum items. We ordered several items and all were pretty disappointing. The lotus leaf was decent but had barely any ingredients on the inside. We ordered braised beef brisket and the soup too... which is basically the same thing, just one is without noodles and beef bouillon soup. The meat tasted old and dry. The soup was very Americanized flavor. In fact everything was geared more to an American pallet... Asian seasoning lacked. I was excited for the Sago raro sweet soup but was again disappointed. It tasted like cold whole milk with undercooked taro. No flavor...no sweetness. Although the restaurant was not packed when we came, we waited over 30 minutes just to get a steamed veggie dish and took another 10-15 min to get other foods. I won't come again. It was way more expensive than dim sum in Chinatown,... which I would not mind, if the food actually was good. However, the food was either dry, tasteless or not Chinese authentically flavored. read more

I've been many DimSum shop and Tim Ho Wan is the best dim sum shop I've ever had. The location is in the Asian plaza in Katy. There are lots of Asian food all around here. Angela was really helpful and nice. I'll recommend this place to my friends and will be back again read more

Should I give it 3.5 stars since that's how you know this place is excellent/authentic for dim sum? Giving it 5 because my experience was great in my opinion (but I understand if you take this with a grain of salt because this is not my ethnic cuisine). The service and food were excellent. We waited a whole hour and a half to sit down and did not regret it. I enjoyed their shu mai, har gow, steamed beef ball with bean curd, spicy wontons, bbq buns (honestly my fav thing there), among other items. You can't go wrong with what you order there. The service is pretty quick once you sit down as well!! Parking situation: on-site Hack for avoiding the wait: join the waitlist on Yelp in advance of your arrival to the restaurant! read more

AMAZING!! We spent 4yrs living in Hong Kong & Tim Ho Wan (the original location) was one of our favorite destinations. We'd missed it terribly & were ecstatic to see a location opening locally!

i saw this place on instagram and decided to try it out. Alot of people but it didnt take long to get a table. I started off with the siumai, pork buns, and shrimp dumplings. The siomai was alright, not the best. Definetely lacking a bit of salt but it tasted better after adding soy sauce. The pork buns was good, the filling was delicious! Shrimp dumplings were also lacking salt and was a bit flavorless, soy sauce fixed it though. We then ordered the congee to finish it off. It was actually delicious and i enjoyed it a little more than the dim-sum! Overall, not really worth it, especially the price of it. read more
