Is This World's BEST Chinese Dim Sum Restaurant? | One Dim Sum in Hong Kong

Hey everyone. I'm here in Hong Kong and I'm going to be eating dim sum for the very first time here. We're here near the Prince Edward Station. This is One Dim Sum. I saw they had some amazing reviews on Google. And you know a place is good when there's a lineup for it. I don't know how long the wait is going to be but I wouldn't mind waiting. So this is crazy folks. In Hong Kong they make you be very efficient handing us a menu right away and this selection here to choose from. So while we're waiting let's take a look at the menu. Mango custard roll. I guess that's their main item that they want to promote. These pictures look really good. I don't see any prices on this menu though but maybe they're on the other one. It's so hard to turn these pages. Some of them are not intact. They were moving. It looks really good. I already saw some people scrolling through the Instagram page of this restaurant through the window. I like the pictures that they selected for the menu. Let's see if there's any prices listed here. I don't see it. How much is everything gonna cost? They even have people sending them postcards. This must be a really good place. Maybe it's best dim sum spot in Hong Kong. We're almost there though. Alright we are in and what a Hong Kong experience. So here is where all the prices are. They do have a 10% service charge on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays. Today is Monday so no service charge. Looks like for the turnip cake it's 24 Hong Kong dollars. That's about three U.S. dollars so very affordable dim sum compared to the U.S. This is the ha gow which is 42. That I believe might be five dollars U.S. You would pay like six or seven in New York City Chinatown for that. Beef rice bowl is three dollars. That's a bargain compared to New York City. Currently the exchange rate is about seven dollars and 77 cents Hong Kong for one U.S. dollar. Pork dumpling with shrimp is 36. This is a siu mai and ha gow. So I think this is like maybe $4.50 or so the siu mai. Just ordered our dim sum. Looks like they did charge us for the tea seven Hong Kong dollars each for two teas and came out to 228 Hong Kong for our entire meal. 29 dollars. I think in the U.S. this would easily cost like double at least like 60 dollars. This is a ridiculous size tea cup. It's more like a coffee mug rather than a tea cup. How's their dim sum tea? Literally there's another meaning of dim sum that says yum cha which is translated as drink tea. Pretty good tea. Not too bitter and nice and warm. Very good to the touch. But I'm excited for the food. I've eaten at many dim sum restaurants all around the world. Let's see if one dim sum can top some of those rankings. Got the ha chang shrimp rice roll. All right first dim sum dish shrimp rice roll ha chang. They put a good amount of soy sauce on it. Let's orient these chopsticks the correct way. They cut it up nice too. Oh that picked up really nicely and there's a nice size shrimp in here. Still piping hot. It's fresh. Oh man. Whoa this has to be one of the best ha chang I've ever had. That rice roll is so like slippery smooth and also fulfilling at the same time and just soaks in all that soy sauce. The shrimp on the other hand got a really nice snap and crunch to it and it is delicious. It's really really good. I mean I don't know how else to describe this. This might be the best ha chang I've had and gotta come to Hong Kong to get it. Okay more dim sum dishes to try. We have siu mai, pork and the wonton skin, ha gow shrimp dumpling, ma lai go which is the brown cake fluffy and ham sui kok which is the oily like dumpling filled with meat if you can call it that. And it's just like fried dough really. Wow this dim sum looks so good. I might have to wait for the ha gow a little bit because it's still hot. And we just got some lo bak go which is the hand fried radish cake. So we gotta rearrange our table here. We got a lot of dim sum but that's all we're getting. Let's try this siu mai. The wonton skin is sticking to the other one though. All right. Wow nice size siu mai. Oh wow that's snappy pork there. Nice crunch to it. Smooth wonton skin. It's excellent. Again another superb dim sum item from one dim sum. Unbelievable dim sum here for sure. Let's swap this out for this and we'll try this ha gow, the shrimp dumpling. Will it break apart when I pick it up? No it does not. Nice and crystal clear. Big shrimp. Man this is nice. Crunchy shrimp. Just as good as the ha cheong, the shrimp rice roll but different. This one is a little more firm with the rice flour and delicious. Wow very very good. Now we'll try this ma lai go and the lo bak go which is the pan-fried turnip cake. Now look how thick this is. I've had some turnip cake before that's like half the size of this one. The thickness. Wow man. A piece of it just fell on the floor. It kind of fell apart but this thing just breaks apart in your mouth. It's crispy and delicious. Wow such an excellent radish cake. This is so good. Now let's try this ma lai go. I don't really find this in New York or other dim sum restaurants. I think this might be a little difficult to make. Looks like nice like rice cake. Oh that is so sweet and fluffy. Amazing dim sum item. Wow. Really nice. Really really good. I can't believe it really. Now we got another dish to try and another one came out that I didn't think we're gonna get more but we got the han sui gok, fried dough. I think it might be ground pork inside. Wow. Hmm I've had this in New York before folks and it's not like this. This one is so crispy on the inside uh outside. Inside is so moist filled with that ground pork. This is look at this. I don't need to say more. This place is unbelievable. And now we gotta try this one. I forgot what this one is called but it is uh like wrapped in a nice crispy skin and there's some meat inside. Bean curd I think is the wrapping. Still hot but nice and crispy and good taste on this bean curd. Wow. Unbelievable dim sum here at One Dim Sum in Hong Kong here near the Prince Edward Station. This is definitely one of the top dim sum restaurants that I've had. Maybe like number two or three but since I had had dim sum all around the world in different places I would still say that Toronto's dim sum especially the one at Pearl Harbor Front that's still my favorite dim sum place but this one is up there. Everything is fresh and unbelievably good and it is getting two thumbs up for me. Great prices too. We're paying like under thirty dollars for all this dim sum.
