Hong Kong Dim Sum - Tel Aviv-Yafo

Yummy dim sum with authentic flavors in each bite! I ordered the mushroom and pork siu mai and the beef Cheung fun—both were good :

Warm people, carrying attitude, and fresh and tasty Chinese food. We live near by and stumbled upon this place by occasion. We wish more places like that will be opened in Tel Aviv

Love authentic places like this. The food is delicious, super nice owners, for sure coming back to try the rest of the menu.

Recommendations of what to order are at the end of this review. Take out only during covid. Be prepared to wait 10mins. If you're new to dim sum, then it goes without saying that the best ones are in Asia or NYC, you have to try those before you have a final decision on whether you like dim sum or not. But if you're like me who crave dim sum frequently, this is as authentic as you can get, as far as dim sum in Israel goes. I have to mark this 5 stars because I genuinely want them to do well. And I urge everyone who wants TLV to have an ethnically diversified, authentic food scene to be supportive of such type of businesses that are trying their best to offer authentic ethnic food within Israel's severely limited and expensive supply chain. They have to exist first, before we can have healthy competition and an ecosystem that allow them to thrive. Keep up the good work HKDS! Ga Yau 加油! You're the relief to all of our homesickness. The home taste far away from home. Recommendations: Definitely get the dim sum sampler if you're not familiar with different types of dim sum. The mushroom shu mai is amazing, must must have. If you have a pretty westernized taste palate and like panda express, sweet and sour chicken, fried rice and low mien etc, you can't go wrong with all of their fried selection like the curry chicken spring rolls. The pork xiao long bao doesn't have meat juice inside, but it's pretty meaty and has a ham like texture with tints of ginger and scallion. Get it if you like pork. Shrimp har gao has bouncy semi transparent dumpling wrapping and pairs the best with siracha+hoisin sauce if you like spicy. Otherwise it pretty much tastes just like steamed shrimps. The rice rolls are really delicate, soft, and remind me of oysters. I love them a lot but I know some people find the slimy texture weird. Best consumed when hot and fresh. Make sure you steam them as leftovers, as rice starch hardens when chilled. Won ton soup and noodle soups are not very outstanding in comparison to other Chinese restaurants in town so I wouldn't recommend them here. The spicy cabbage is the most authentic “kim chi” in TLV. If you like Korean food and can withstand high level of spiciness, get this. Be warned, it is very very spicy, but at least it tastes like kim chi, not just some generic Mideastern pickled cabbage branded as “kim chi”. (If you wonder why should you get kim chi at a dim sum place: even though kim chi is most renowned as a Korean cuisine, similar dishes are popular in other parts of Asia. Just like Pot stickers are Chinese but Japanese have gyoza, and Zha Jiang Mian is Chinese but Korean have Jajangmyeon. We all learn from one another. Portion wise, it's 3 5 pieces per order. Standard dim sum portion. I'd start with at least 3 orders per person (9 15 pieces total . Dim sum is all about variety, you're already reading this, might as well be adventurous.

One of the best restaurants in tlv that do not belong here belongs to nyc, since eating here is just so good.
