Tim Ho Wan Dim Sum Specialists is international chain that started in 2009 in Hong Kong and in 2010 it earned a Michelin Star. It is known as the world's most inexpensive michelin starred restaurant. Like the name suggests they specialize in Chinese Dim Sum items. The Palms location opened up in 2019 but was shut down for 2 years due to the pandemic and has recently opened back up in the spring of 2022. Its located on the far west side of Palms by the west parking garage.

For our brunch today we tried out several of their dim sum items. This place does not push the traditional carts around carrying dim sum, but you they give you a sheet and penicl to mark off the ones you want. We ordered the Signature Pork buns for $7.95, Chicken Dumplings for $8.50, Beef Rice Roll for $7.50, Chicken feet for $6.95, Brisket Noodles for $13.95, Beef Meatballs for $6.95, Shrimp Har Gow Dumplings for $7.25, Pork and Shrimp Siu Mai for $7.25, Beef Short Ribs for $13.95, Fried Pork and Shrimp dumplings for $6.95, and for dessert we ordered the Milk Stick for $6.95, and Pumpkin Balls for $6.95. Total: $109.57 with tax and not including tip.

Most of the food tasted pretty decent, but some were better than others. And some were just okay. Their signature Pork Buns were good but also very sweet. The Beef Rice Roll lacked flavor and the Beef Meatballs did not have the right texture or balance of flavor. The Siu Mai were good and came out piping hot.

It is quite pricey for dim sum though and for the price I would expect everything to taste excellent. There are cheaper places in chinatown and Gold Coast/Rio that offer more variety and are definitely much better value for the money that you are paying. There is also a place called Dim Sum Cafe in Summerlin that I ate at recently and will be publishing a video of soon that we ordered almost the same amount of items and was half the price.

I do like the decor and how you can watch them cook the food with the open kitchen. Everything was clean and the service was good and the food came out quickly and hot.
