Tim Ho Wan (Chinese: 添好運) is a Chinese dimsum restaurant chain that originated in Hong Kong.
History
In 2009, Mak Kwai-pui, formerly a chef of three-Michelin-starred restaurant Lung King Heen, opened a 20-seater dim sum restaurant in Mongkok.[3][4] Tim Ho Wan would eventually earn a Michelin star of its own in the 2010 Hong Kong and Macau Guide, a distinction which some have stated was a move in response to the criticism that the Michelin Guide was "elitist" and "out of touch with local tastes."[5] In 2015, its Sham Shui Po, North Point and Tai Kok Tsui branches had all received one Michelin star.[6] Since then, the restaurant has been dubbed as "the world's cheapest Michelin-star restaurant."[7][8]
Expansion
From its original Mongkok location, five additional branches were opened in Hong Kong; Sham Shui Po, Central, North Point, Tai Kok Tsui and Tseung Kwan O. In 2013, the original Mongkok branch relocated to Olympian City due to an increase in rent.[4]
Tim Ho Wan began expanding overseas in 2013, with the opening of its first international location in Singapore's Plaza Singapura.[9] It also expanded to the Philippines in 2014 with the opening of a branch at SM Megamall in Metro Manila[10] and in Australia the following year with the opening of a branch in Chatswood. Another branch opened in Jakarta at the end of March 2015. The chain also has branches in Taipei, Taichung, Hanoi and Kuala Lumpur,[11] and Bangkok opening in August 2015.
