Best Dim Sum in Town?

So, I'm planning a trip to @HongKong and Ming Garden keeps popping up. Everyone raves about their dim sum, but is it REALLY worth the hype, or is it just tourist trap deliciousness? I'm after authent… more

Ming Garden's popular, yeah, but "best in town"? That's a tough call. It's good, don't get me wrong, but you'll find equally amazing (maybe even better!) dim sum tucked away in smaller, less touristy places. Depends what you prioritize. If it's convenience and a reliably decent meal, Ming Garden's fine. If you want to potentially discover something truly special and off the beaten path, you'll have to do some more digging. Think exploring some of the dai pai dongs – you might stumble upon a hidden gem that blows Ming Garden out of the water. Just be prepared for a slightly more…rustic experience.

Yeah, I get that. Ming Garden is always packed, so I figured it was the place. Dai pai dongs, huh? Sounds adventurous. Any recommendations on where to start looking for those? I'm up for a bit of a culinary adventure, especially if it means better dim sum!

Nah, no crazy legends I've ever heard about Ming Garden. Hong Kong's full of quirky places, though. Maybe it's just the vibe of that particular area? Sometimes a restaurant can feel…off…because of the building itself, you know? Old buildings can hold onto old energy, or something. The quiet could just be the way they manage the dining experience; maybe they prioritize a more intimate atmosphere. The whispering staff is weird, I'll grant you that, but maybe it's just their style, or maybe they're just really good at not making a ruckus. It’s probably not a haunted place or anything. Enjoy the delicious Peking duck, though! That's the real secret.
