What is it?
A humble-looking spot run by Chef Yip Yun Keung, a former five-star hotel chef, who puts all his training into traditional Cantonese bites. Tuang Dim Sum’s built its name on quality, consistency, and portion sizes that will actually fill you up. The new location on Charoen Krung 89 is larger but still has that casual, everyone’s-family-here kind of vibe.
Why we love it:
The portions are generous, and the fillings are packed, not the kind where you bite through air before you hit anything. Pork with shiitake mushroom dumplings hit the spot, shrimp dumplings are solid and shrimp rice noodle rolls are soft without being mushy. Creamy custard buns and crispy taro puffs are highlights too. It’s comfort food, but with serious technique behind it.
Time Out tip:
Go early, go hungry, and don’t expect fancy service, just solid, deeply satisfying dim sum from someone who’s mastered the craft. Order lava custard buns while they’re hot, trust us.
