Best Dim Sum in Hong Kong 2025: Yum Cha, Pushcarts & Modern Takes

Hong Kong is the world capital of dim sum — the art of the yum cha (literally "drink tea") meal that transforms shared dumplings, rice noodle rolls, and custard buns into one of the world's great communal dining experiences. From the legendary trolley-cart dim sum palaces of City Hall Maxim's Palace and Fook Lam Moon to the Michelin-starred modern dim sum of Tim Ho Wan and the neighbourhood tea houses of Kowloon's Sham Shui Po, Hong Kong dim sum is an experience that defines the city.
