Undoubtedly the most anticipated restaurant opening of 2015 and the talk of the foodie and Asian community – Tim Ho Wan, the cheapest Michelin-starred restaurant has set up shop in Chatswood (woot!). It is one of the three planned openings in Sydney, with another two set to open in Sydney and Burwood in 2015.
I’m just going to jump straight to my conclusion: Tim Ho Wan indeed brought with it a few exotic items that we had never seen in the Sydney yum cha scene before. The execution of the dumplings is exquisite. Unfortunately, the menu is rather limited and the prices is quite steep compared to other yum chas in town and considering the portion of the dishes (of course, still the cheapest amongst its Michelin-starred peers).
I would recommend coming in a bigger group to share the dishes and the bill. Despite the high item prices, we came in a group of six, tried most dishes on the menu and paid only $24 each.
