Fresh, fast, picture-menu dim sum with standout prawns and durian mochi, but service can be brusque and lines are common; great value by HK standards if you know the drill.
Dim Sum Here delivers fresh, flavorful dim sum with standout items like prawn dumplings and durian mochi, supported by exceptional speed and an accessible picture-menu ordering system. However, inconsistent execution—ranging from perfectly steamed har gow to soggy skins—combined with brusque service interactions and cramped seating prevent it from reaching higher standards. It's a solid neighborhood choice for quick, affordable Cantonese dim sum in central Kowloon, best visited off-peak.
The room feels bustling and compact, right off Temple Street where queues form quickly but move along. Ordering is a simple tick-sheet with pictures, and plates land hot and fast. One diner summed it up: "Food arrived steaming and the prawns tasted freshly sweet," while others noted brusque service and tight seating. The cooking leans classic Cantonese—har gow with snap, siu mai with bounce, crisp-edged radish cake—plus playful touches like cartoon taro buns and a durian mochi that durian fans rave about. It is more neighborhood dim sum than grand banquet hall: fresh, speedy, flavorful, with a few misses like bland cheung fun or fatty ribs. Families will find kid-friendly picks like BBQ pork buns, plain rice rolls, congee, and sponge cake. Space is tight and there is a tea charge per person, so come off-peak to avoid crowds. No dedicated kids menu, but the food style is approachable for most children.
