When in Hong Kong you have to get dim sum. There's a Tim Ho Wan near me and many other local dim sum places in Taipei so I wanted to try something new. That's how I found Dim Dim Sum.
This place is small, about the size of my living room, but they pack the people in with fast service. I showed up around 2pm and was quickly seated and given a menu to check off what I wanted. There was a carafe of tea ($4HK mandatory for each person) and you can get warm/hot water.

My total bill came to $180HK which was about cheap for Hong Kong and what I expected to pay for so much food at an above standard level.
Cash only, no cards but they do have an English menu. There's a tiny bathroom and the air conditioning is adequate. None of the staff spoke English, that I could tell, but they did speak Mandarin to me and that got...
