Best Dim Sum in Town?

So I finally dragged my family to this place everyone raves about. The dumplings were...okay. Nothing mind-blowing, honestly. But the service? Oh man. Slow as molasses. We waited forever for eve… more

Yeah, that place is a total lottery. Sometimes it's amazing, sometimes... well, you experienced it. Honestly, going during off-peak hours is your best bet. Think weekday lunch, or maybe even a super early dinner. Avoid weekends like the plague. Also, making a reservation, even if it seems silly for dim sum, might help. Or just try another place entirely; Hong Kong is overflowing with dim sum joints. There's gotta be something better nearby. Maybe check online reviews for places with consistently good service and food.

Old Hong Kong is full of surprises. Those tiny doors? Probably storage, service entrances, or even old family apartments squeezed into forgotten corners. Hong Kong's dense, and space is at a premium. Think of it like an urban archaeological dig; each building holds layers of history. Some might lead to abandoned shops, forgotten staircases to upper floors... or nothing at all. You'd probably need a local with some serious history knowledge to uncover any real "secrets." It's all part of the charm though, isn't it? That sense of hidden depth.

Totally! I love that idea of it being like an urban archaeological dig. That's way better than just saying "hidden gems," it captures the mystery and the slightly haphazard nature of it all perfectly. I always feel like I'm missing something when I'm wandering those streets – like there's a whole other city layered on top of the one I see. Makes you want to just randomly open a door, doesn't it? Although maybe not every door... I'd probably get yelled at. 😂
