LAS VEGAS RESTAURANT REVIEW - Michelin Star Dim Sum Lunch at Tim Ho Wan at the Palms Casino

[@jacquelinecote271]

Great review!! One of the best I've seen of yours.. Ty!!!

[@VegaswithShin]

Glad you liked it! I really appreciate that! Thank you!

[@tk702]

Whoa! $42 for garlic shrimp? Was that for one order or two?

[@VegaswithShin]

That was for the one order. Very expensive I know but it tasted awesome

[@ShadowSiren88]

I'm always hesitant on Asian restaurants inside casinos being authentic or white washed.

[@VegaswithShin]

It's a mixed bag at the larger resorts. You got places like Ping Pang Pong that is about as authentic as anything you get in Chinatown, then plenty of places that serve a more fusion style of dish. Tim Ho Wan uses the same recipes as its original Hong Kong shop so I'd say the flavors are pretty authentic. Thanks for watching!

[@dy7023]

Looked great quality dim sum. Wish you posted the price.

[@VegaswithShin]

I do have the receipt at the end that has all the prices of the items I ate in the video though I believe all of the prices have gone up a little bit since the making of this video. Thanks for watching!

Great review! Just subscribed!

[@VegaswithShin]

Thank you so much! Welcome to the channel!

[@themysterytraveler6536]

I'm not sure anything other than the baked Char Siu Bao sets Tim Ho Wan apart from a lot of dim sum places. That put them on the map. Have you been to Din Tai Fung? I'm sure Paradise Dynasty will be coming to Vegas soon. They seem to follow DTF around the globe, LOL.

[@VegaswithShin]

Something about the amount of sugar they're using on the top of the bun just somehow makes it more magical and the quality of the ingredients just can't be outdone with technique alone. I have been to Din Tai Fung, the original states side one in Arcadia actually back when I lived in SoCal. A Paradise Dynasty would be cool to have here. I'd definitely check them out. Thanks for watching!

[@infirmatube1556]

Everything you had looked amazing! I am definitely trying this place out! 🍜

[@VegaswithShin]

Very high quality dim sum and worth the visit!

[@electrictroy2010]

NOTE the New York, California, or Vegas locations have never received a Michelin star. The food quality wasn’t high enough. (The original Hong Kong restaurant lost its star in 2021.) .

[@lindlesj604]

Your always so positive and up beat love it thanks!!

[@VegaswithShin]

Easy to be positive when you're eating great food! Thanks for watching!

[@marylee8771]

No, I have seen fresher dim sum and Danny the Medic already reviewed this place and he knows Chinese food.

[@VegaswithShin]

Thanks for your thoughts!

[@jesusisfaithful7]

OH MAN THE FOOD LOOKS SO GOOD. I AM LOVING YOUR SHIRT NICE LOL. THANKS FOR SHARING ANOTHER EXCITING TO WATCH VIDEO. KEEP UP THE INCREDIBLE JOB 👏👏👏

[@VegaswithShin]

Thank you Tracey! I'm trying to get some themed shirts for each video haha. Thank you for watching!

[@ruiling1458]

I would prefer you provided price for each dish. that would be very helpful. Thanks!

[@VegaswithShin]

Thank you for the feedback!

[@panjo]

Nice place, the food looked great

[@VegaswithShin]

It was! And the food was really quite good! Thanks for watching Panjo!

[@ExploreVegas]

The pork buns look super delish! Just by looking at it, I can see how much better it is than pork buns in the buffets! Excellent review!

[@VegaswithShin]

You gotta give the pork buns a try when you can! They're really worth it!

[@alec6521]

I've had them in Mongkok and they were incredible. I think you can consider them Tim Ho Wan's signature dish.

[@MartinNienstedt]

a wonderful review wish you were eating with us

[@VegaswithShin]

Glad you enjoyed! Hope you had a good meal as well! Thanks for watching!

[@youdecide2696]

Everything looks super delicious. Been craving some dim sum. Searched and there is a Tim Ho Wans in Irvine, CA not too far from me, will try to make it there this week. Wrote down all your suggestions also. Great work as always Shin!! Thanks, and happy eating!!

[@VegaswithShin]

The one in Irvine I hear from my SoCal friends is not as good as the other Tim Ho Wans but let me know if it's worth it for you!

[@youdecide2696]

@@VegaswithShin The Irvine location has a happy hour, tried 4 items today and was stuffed for under $30. Jasmine tea and lava sesame seed balls were fantastic, BBQ pork buns really good, everything else was average. Would not drive too far out of the way again but would eat there again. Will try the Palms location someday. I did read reviews on Irvine location, and you are right, they have had some issues. Thanks again Shin!!

[@VegaswithShin]

@@youdecide2696 nice! Happy hour and getting that for $30 definitely helps!

[@youdecide2696]

@@VegaswithShin There is a Din Tai Fung at South Coast Plaza, the Cosmo added it as a restaurant not too long ago. Have you been? Want to check it out also.

[@VegaswithShin]

@@youdecide2696 I ate at the Costa Mesa Din Tai Fung almost monthly when I used to live in Irvine many many years ago. I knew there was a Din Tai Fung at the Aria but did not know they opened one as Cosmo as well, I'll have to check it out!

[@robertphillips3893]

This place looks so good. With Ping Pang Pong and KJ Dim Sum close by, there is some competition.

[@VegaswithShin]

Tim Ho Wan definitely stands up. I go to KJ pretty often as well but don't make it to PPP all that much. I should give them a try

[@dc33333]

42$ for garlic shrimp!!!! Wow!!!

[@dc33333]

The good shrimp is 17$/lb from kauai hawaii. 424 not out of line if the use good quality shrimp. Most use the stuff from indonesia or argentina

[@VegaswithShin]

Yes, it was very expensive. Thanks for watching!

[@Christine_1075]

Happy Monday Shin I’m So Happy To Have Found You’re Channel Can’t Wait To Visit Vegas Again For Some Amazing 🤩 Eats…

[@VegaswithShin]

Happy Monday to you as well Christine! Very happy to hear you're enjoying the videos. Thanks for watching!

[@andyl9920]

What sucks about dim sum places is that it is not good for groups of 4 because they serve 3 pieces on most items. So u would have to place double the orders which can be expensive.

[@VegaswithShin]

That's a good point. Perfect for third wheeling lmao. Thanks for watching!

[@jarnettearnette7600]

Gotta try this next time we come to Vegas! 😋

[@VegaswithShin]

Yes! Tim Ho Wan is one of my favorites! Thanks for watching!

[@vegasvan2000]

I love how your shirt is coordinated to the cuisine!

[@VegaswithShin]

Haha! Thanks for noticing! I ordered a handful of tshirts for Youtubing and I'm trying to sync it up to what I'm eating as often as I can. Thanks for watching!

[@tarandajones2154]

Was just out there... Chinese food is about the only thing out there...in Resorts, their food court only offers 2 American dishes out of 20 places..., every hotel is showcasing Chinese food and if you want American, its gonna cost ya over $100 for two... Chinese food is ok, but I don't want to eat it everyday all day....that coupled with Vegas has become a mini Disneyland with kids evvvvvrywhere....We won't be returning.😟

[@VegaswithShin]

You may want to start checking out Downtown. A couple of 21 and over only properties like Circa and a lot of great eats too!

[@tarandajones2154]

@@VegaswithShin It was soooo hot, didn't get a chance to get to old Vegas...was supposed to go zip lining but when we arrived it was a dust storm so it was closed... if ever, I go again, We will stay on Fremont street somewhere with good food, decent prices and not Chinese food 🤢...Vegas has really changed and not for the better...I hear they are planning to put in an 80 space arcade with video games ON THE STRIP!!🤦...all they need to do now is change the name from Las Vegas strip to the "Chinese Disney world"

[@normanh4905]

i liked how you tell it the way it is. Many of the classic dim sum items, as you pointed out, seemed quite standard. I think they definitely are trying to extract as much as they can from that michelin star

[@VegaswithShin]

You got it! The BBQ pork buns and the desserts were easily the stars for me. Otherwise, relatively standard dishes but made with good quality ingredients. Thanks for watching!

[@YouUsAndAI]

AWESOME

[@VegaswithShin]

Thank you!

[@vic-iv2ff]

I ate at the honolulu location… it was shockingly mediocre…. Even the baked bbq bun was sub par .. rather have any Chinatown dim sum over this place

[@VegaswithShin]

Yeah, I ate at the Irvine CA location not too long ago and it was not as good as the one in Vegas. But in general, Chinatown dim sum is just so good so I'd eat that over a lot of foods lol. Thanks for watching!
