新龍城茶樓 — Restaurant in Hong Kong

Wow, what a unique Hong Kong dim sum experience. I try to come here every time I'm in Hong Kong. There's a nearby famous tourist attraction, the rainbow estates for photographers. This is the most ghetto dim sum spot I've been. The food is great. I like the contrast where there are two Lamborghinis parked outside. The staff is friendly toward regulars and Hong Kongers. Not so much for foreigners. There aren't traditional dim sum carts. You fetch your own dim sum from the chef. The ordering system is, you tell the people working there how many people. They will seat you next to strangers. Then they will ask you what type of tea and give you silverware. You have to rinse your own bowls and cups in tea. Then you walk up to the dim sum chef and tell them what you want. You get a piece of paper from the cashier lady inside first. If you order too much, you have to come back as the steamers are pretty hot. I saw two Korean tourists got yelled at ask they didn't know how the system worked. My recommendations are pork dim sum, shrimp rolls and egg rolls.

Sadly, 新龍城茶樓 will close soon. Ngau Chi Wan Village is under redevelopment and the restaurant will close as a result of that. They've been...

We were going to Rainbow Village for photo shooting and found this old school dimsum place nearby the Choi Hung station. Although the seeing the negative reviews about the hygiene of the restaurant. But we decided to give it a try and it didn’t disappoint us.

There were varieties of dimsum and some traditional dimsum were hardly can be found in other dimsum shops, like glutinous rice bun, pan fried cheong fun, 4 treasures wrapped in beancurd skin etc. I like the steamed pork ribs with yam, it was very delicious and the yam was fragrant and soft. The steamed minced beef ball was so flavourful and nice. The dimsum I wouldn’t recommend were glutinous rice bun and radish cake, but both were worth trying for the first time visit. Overall the dimsum were delicious, it definitely underrated.

The price was definitely worth and pretty affordable. Since it’s an old school restaurant the ambience was not as cosy as those newer dimsum restaurants and even need share table...

Very humane restaurant. An old lady guest fell on the ground fainted suddenly, the boss spent time with her and called ambulance and make sure she was carefully taken care. Dim Sum and other dishes were really good. Lot of good Memories from the childhood. Sad to hear that it will be knocked down next year. Will go more often....
