A must when in Melbourne - awesome food and great, quick service. Highly recommend the baked pork buns and wasabi prawns but everything I have tried on the menu has not disappointed!
It is definitely one of the best dim sum place you must try for those visiting Melbourne.

The aroma of this Chinese Yum Cha restaurant drew us into this restaurant as the most appropriate spot to catch up with my friends.
The interior of the restaurant is very eye-catching due to its traditional yet modern decor.
Luckily this place serves Yum Cha for dinner, which I have always wanted. We ordered their popular Baked Bun with BBQ Pork and it was so die for. The bun was so crispy and flaky, and as you bite into it, the insides start exploding with the BBQ pork that is so juicy, sweet and salty. I could eat so many of those buns.
Prawn Cheung Fun is always a must at Yum Cha restaurants and they did an amazing job at not only creating a soft easy-to-tear and delicious soy sauce, but they have variations of the vermicelli roll which I would love to try at my next visit.
The pork here is amazing given their pork rib with black bean sauce being a surprisingly experience for me. I would never in a million years order this sort of dish, but my friend ordered us to try it. The pork was so juicy and fatty, and so flavourful.
I enjoyed the chicken feet, but it was a bit salty for my liking. The chicken feet was cooked perfectly, with its skin falling right off its bone.
The wonton soup was a bit bland for my liking and not worth my money.
Their steamed dumplings are a must but it was dinner time and we're craving for something more filling.
Hit and misses, but definitely hits the spot for tasting like home.

We ordered the baked bbq pork buns and crispy tofu skin with prawns.
Baked bbq pork - the pastry was nice and crumbly and sweet; wasn't expecting it to be sweet. The filling had meat pieces you could bite and the flavour was good.
Crispy tofu skin w/prawn - really enjoyed the flavour with this and I think it's because of the spring onions. The prawns were whole and juicy. Unfortunately they it was not crispy and would have been nice if there was mayo to dip.
Only downside was the ETA was 15 minutes and I checked in early and it was already ready which meant had already ready started to get cold. Otherwise, flavours were good and I'd visit again.
Tim Ho Wan is a great place for a snack or light meal. They didn’t used to be super veg friendly but they’ve added quite a few new options since opening. I love the fried tofu which has great flavour and texture. The Hong Kong egg tarts are pretty good. But the rice rolls topped with sweet sesame sauce is my absolute favourite and decently filling for the price.
Tim Ho Wan doesn't have much variety on the menu, however each dish is well prepared. We ordered:
Steamed prawn rolls
Steamed chinese donut rolls
Radish cake
BBQ pork buns
Prawn dumplings
Mango sago
Everything we tried was delicious, all the dumplings were perfectly steamed but I highly recommend the BBQ pork buns!
The pork bun was soft and crispy simultaneously making it the perfect porky bun indeed, as was the rest of the dishes which were very nice n succulent.
Craved a Cheung Fun so stumbled across this place on Zomato and decided to give it a try. I got a table that had its individual iPad for ordering, loved it as i could order conservatively and just add as I went. The Cheung Fun was good, classic. Chicken feet dish too. The spinach dumplings were Ok, lacked a bit of flavour and I also got their special Salted egg dumpling w chicken and prawn, it was good but the salted egg could’ve been integrated better. Overall, simple menu but good easy no fuss food, and efficient service.
This is the first yumcha place that I have found steamed rolls. Definitely back for those. We ordered too much and ended up having takeaway.
⭕️ Must try: steamed rolls, congee with 2 kinds of eggs, prawn hargao, seasonal veggie, sticky rice
⭕️ Not impressed: chicken legs, radish cake
Very busy location, if you order dessert 90% it will come out before everything else lol. Will come back to try more in the menu!
This place is basically all day yum-cha, which already gives it an upper hand over other restaurants, as there is no other restaurant like it. The food is fresh and service is efficient. The serving sizes and value is about right, perhaps a little stretched. A large male eater could easily blow $50 - this would be above regular yumcha prices. Still, a very good restaurant!
Bbq pork bun and the salted egg bun are the stars, this place absolutely is a flavour town.
Overall is excellent experience, great place to having bunch.
Foods are great as it should be, however some dishes have light flavor. I recommend to order hot Chinese tea together with your dishes.
Customer service is good but a bit slow when I asked for refilling my tea.
Weekend need to pay extra 10%.
Good cheap place to eat all day yumcha at, the bbq pork buns were really good and reminded me of Japanese melon pan. The egg tarts were also nice and warm but the other dishes were mediocre. Good experience nonetheless at a Michelin star yumcha restaurant.
One of the best DimSum in Melbourne!! What a perfect day to have Tim Ho Wan🥟💕
First time tried their Chicken Rice!🐣 And out of my expectations!! So goodd!!! The chicken are so tender and the portions just perfect 👌🏻🎉
Their SiuMai is unquestionably good! Always being my repeat order here! 💕
Also their Prawn Fried Bean Curd! 🦐 so flavorful but a bit greasy 😄
🌟 3,8/5
Would definitely recommend the chilli one of the best chillis i eaten. As to the food the baked bun with bbq pork is a must and the prawn and chive dumpkings taste like a fancy wonton. But definitely stay away from the congee with seafood as the congee is more like watery soup than congee.
This was the first time my partner had a yum cha and what better way to experience it than in the famous Tim Ho Wan!
We shared quite a few dishes like prawn dumplings, beef balls, chicken wonton noodles, slow-cooked beef soup, vermicelli roll with prawns, and more. Of course we had to end it with egg tarts for dessert 😋
It was a lovely feast for sure, a bit pricey but everything was delicious so worth to try at least once or twice (or more hehe) 🙊

I am speechless. The best BBQ Buns in my entire life so far. Salt and sweet blended so well in your mouth. Chicken feet and radish cake was also good staple food. Fast service.
