    Very much recommended place for dim sum. Just prepare on waiting 3h for your table.

    This cartless NYC dim sum is a letdown! Altho' cheap & freshly-made all day & BBQ Pork Bun (like "Bolau Cha Siu Bao") & Mango Slushee shine, THW has mostly traditional dim sum & not worth 1.5 hr-wait!

    Famous dim sum. Slightly sweet. Loved the pork buns, fried dumplings and French toast. Didn't like the parsnip cake...too fishy

    Tim Ho Wan has a lot of different foods and they are all delicious they have an odd choose of music for the cuisine and type of restaurant (pop music) the wait is about thirty minutes or so for three.

    Baked BBQ pork buns specifically, but everything is great (we also had fried pork dumplings, streamed shrimp dumplings, spring rolls and streamed rice balls - all great).

    As others have mentioned, the pork buns are 💣! Definitely come at off peak hours. The dim sum is good, but not wait-in-line-for-over-an-hour good.

    Love the baked pork buns, congee, and deep fried dumplings; shrimp har gow and especially siu mai (pictured) are great; french toast is tasty; steamed rice dishes and turnip cakes could be skipped

    The service is quick once you've sat down. Come for early dinner during the week. You must get the pork buns! Everything else is better than your avg Chinatown dimsum, though it's not worth the wait.

    This place is really good! 😋 I had been to a location in Sydney and didn’t love it, but the location here in New York is great! They’ve been open for 2 years and opening a location in Hell’s Kitchen.

    Really liked the chicken feet, har gow, and pork buns. Would I wait in line for any of those? No. NYC has a ton of just as good or better dim sum.

    Pork buns and steamed shrimp dumplings are worth the wait but plan accordingly: we got in line at 9:30am, they took our names at 10:15am and we were seated at 11:45am.

    They have instant service at the bar, it's the same food but you stand. The bar is best if your by yourself or for two people. The dim sum is small compared to other places but great quality.

    Bbq pork buns and sticky rice in lotus leaf were top notch and totally worth the visit. The rest of the items were surprisingly sub par compared to good dim sum restaurants.

    Put your name down on the wait list and go shopping! Pork buns are SO delicious. Haven't tasted anything like it before. Everything else is very good and clean eating. Get a milk tea!

    Great place to try once, considering the wait time is insane enough. Order everything: pork buns, anything with shrimp and the sweet potato cream for dessert! Black lychee tea is heaven.

    Stumbled upon the line ~4:30pm and was seated immediately upon the 5pm opening. Enjoyed the BBQ pork buns, congee, sticky rice, shrimp dumplings, and shrimp/pork sui mai. Skip the blanched vegetables.

    It's good but I don't get the hype. We literally ordered everything on the menu but the rice dishes. And if I had to recommend one thing that was exceptional, it'd be the roast pork buns.

    French toast with custard is unique and delicious for dessert. It's the same filling in the cantonese classic steam custard buns (aka nai wong bao)

    Solid fast meal when solo. You can stand at the front near the kitchen & bar-dine. No frills, great dimsum with no wait.

    Don't come in with extremely high hopes and you'll leave full and satisfied. The wait has died down (now 30 min ish) and they text you. The congee, pork buns, and shrimp dumplings are winners.

    The trick is definitely to come on the earlier side - we went on a Wednesday around 6 to put our names in and were seated by 6:30. Also, the pork buns are a must!

    Solid tho limited dim sum selection. Of course get the roast pork bao which has a nice pineapple-bun like topping.

    3 hour wait is the downfall but overall Really great dim sum! Everything is cooked just right! The BBQ buns are so tasty! And the sticky rice wrapped in tea leaf.

    Weekends are impossible with wait times crossing the 3 hour mark. The time to come is Monday to Friday for lunch time, a 10 min wait tops. Definitely worth trying out!

    Get here before open to avoid the long wait. They won’t seat you unless your entire party is here. BBQ bun and congee is as good as the hype

    Best quality of dim sum in this city by far. Try the pork buns for a combination of sweet and savory.

    BBQ pork buns and congee were so good! Was worried about lines, but waited only about 15 minutes before being seated during rush hour.

    Yes the waits are intense, but just go grab a drink somewhere. The wait for the best pork buns ever is worth it 🤤🤤🤤

    Hours long wait but if dining solo or 2 ppl you can eat standing up by the kitchen. The pork buns are killer!!!!

    Is it the best dim sum I've had in my life? Yes. Would I wait 3 hours though, definitely not. Get the har gow and steamed rice roll. The pork buns were too sweet for me.

    Standing table is your best bet, otherwise, put your name down and go to milk and hops nearby for a beer or two. Pork buns are unique, everything else is solid.

    Bougie dim sum compared to Chinatown but worth every penny! Baked pork buns are a must have here!

    Longgggggg lines = 3 to 4 hours wait. Poor management and communication right now. Stay away until things settles.

    You can always eat standing at the counter if just casually stopping by - usually no more than 5-10 min wait!

    Much needed good dim sum place (most only average) in Manhattan! French toast with custard, steamed pork spare rib, sticky rice, sweet pumpkin cream with sago.

    Came for a very late lunch and only waited 1-1.5 hours. Totally worth it given that I’ve waited that long for average dimsum in Atlanta. The pork buns with the sweet breading were our favorite.

    Good not great. Over hyped. Not worth 3+ hour wait, although I do like their text message-base line system. Similar to other locations, the pork buns are a stand out. My fav was their custard toast.

    Pork buns are delicious-a little flakier than it is traditionally. Pork siu mai & shrimp dumplings are also good. Other things were only ok. Overall I'd say if the wait is long it's not worth waiting

    Good, not great, not worth the 3 hour wait. Grab a solo spot at the stand up bar if you must try the food, but don't stand in line for 3 hrs. The food isn't any better than any of NYC's OG spots.

    If the wait is too long for you, improvise and hop on an empty spot at the bar. Standing dim sum will soon become a hot trend.

    Pork buns are what most folks come here for, but don't leave Tim Ho Wan without trying the Turnip Cakes!

    The 4 hour wait ruins the entire experience, not worth it. Be prepared to wait an extra hour after being texted to come (after a 3 hour wait), to watch the slowest staff ever run this restaurant

    Pork buns are good. The outside is flaky and reminds me of bo luo bao. Everything else was on par with other dim sum places (turnip cake, sticky rice, siu mai, rice rolls). Not worth 1+ hr wait though

    It's pretty good, but maybe not worth waiting longer than 45 minutes. Come early (10am) and they can easily seat two people with no wait.
