Sun Hing Restaurant

TL;DR: The restaurant tries to scam tourists out of their money by giving the wrong change. The man pretended to mistake the HKD 500 bill I gave him for two HKD 100 bills. (The HKD 500 bill is of a golden brown colour and is much bigger than the HKD 100 bill, which is a vivid red colour.)

Full story: I am a Hong Konger who lives just down the street, but had never tried this dim sum restaurant before. The first and last time I went, the man taking my money tried to scam me out of HKD 300.

I paid my HKD 134 bill at the counter with a HKD 500 bill, but the man only gave me HKD 66 change and then turned around to do something else. (I should have received HKD 366 in change.) He was pretending I had given him two HKD 100 bills. When I reminded him that I had given him a HKD 500 bill, he just gave me another HKD 300 nonchalantly, with no surprise or apology. He had totally done this before.

This restaurant is extremely popular with mainland Chinese tourists and I suspect that he has been regularly scamming tourists of their change. Please avoid this restaurant, and please always check your change in Hong Kong!

Regarding the food, it's mediocre. In one of the steamed rice rolls with prawns, there was only 1 prawn in it, when a minimum of 3 are customary. The prawns were pre-frozen and not fresh, and also had a very fishy taste.

The prawn dumplings and siu mai were edible but mediocre. They were not worth this price.

Only the runny custard buns were nice.

I don't recommend this place at all as I don't think these are honest people and this is not an honest establishment. There are much better dim sum restaurants in Hong Kong.
