About Tim Ho Wan

All-day yum cha right on Bourke Street delivers Hong Kong dim sum at lightning speed. Forget waiting for weekend trolley carts—tables turn around fast on on-demand steamers here. Dim sum regulars make a beeline straight for the baked BBQ pork buns, where a crumbly, sweet crust breaks into piping hot, savory char siu. Plates stack up minutes after ordering: delicate prawn vermicelli rolls slicked with sweet soya sauce, plump siew mai, and steamed pork rib rice. For table-sharing, pair the seasonal soy sauce tofu fish fillets with crisp greens. Settle the bill over a chilled bowl of mango pomelo sago.

  • Signature Baked BBQ Pork Buns: A crumbly, sweet golden exterior filled with warm, savory char siu sets these buns apart from traditional steamed versions.
  • All-Day Dim Sum: Dim sum classics and fresh seasonal plates run continuously from lunch through dinner until 9pm.
  • Rapid Table Turnaround: Digital ordering sends hot bamboo steamers and fried dishes to the table in minutes.
  • Sharing-Friendly Portions: Smaller plate sizes keep pricing accessible and let groups sample across the wide Cantonese menu.

Before you head over

Practical tips for ordering, timing, and enjoying all-day Cantonese dim sum in the CBD.

  • Satisfy evening dim sum cravings

    Unlike conventional yum cha spots that cut off service after lunch, Tim Ho Wan serves its dim sum menu all day and through dinner until 9pm.

  • Use QR ordering for lightning-fast service

    Order directly via table-side QR code to receive freshly prepared dishes within minutes, or ask staff directly if you prefer manual ordering.

  • Reheat takeaway baked buns in the oven

    Order extra baked BBQ pork buns to go; reheat them at home in your oven for 10 to 15 minutes to fully restore their crisp golden pastry crust.
