8 Reviews on “Shark Fin House 食為先”
– Ah, shark fin house! Despite the controversial name that may trigger some environmental fanatics, its a great place for yumcha (if you dont actually order shark fins).
– It quite close to Jade so I guess there is obligatory comparison. Being Cantonese myself I love the traditional Cantonese hospitality spirit here. The food may not seem *as* polished as the other side, but its nevertheless great.
– However dinner menu would probably get beaten by Jade. Its okay, but not thrilling.
Visited here on a Sunday morning around 11am as a lot of old Chinese recommend this place for yum cha, I would say the quality is ordinary and average but it’s a good deal taken the price into consideration. The place was busy, tables were quite packed together and the dim sum trolley were going around.
Shark Fin house is a solid place to have yum-cha on a nice Sunday morning. I love the selection that they have, especially their chicken feet – great! I would say that the quality service is not always consistent, as I have had days where the staff were super friendly and helpful however some days you just can’t seem to get anything you ask for. Overall, still a very great place for yum-cha!
3.5
We went there during lunch time on Sunday and they were super busy! They have 2 mezzanine levels. The food was great but we have tried other places that taste better. The yum cha carts go around and we got to pick whatever we see, which is nice.
Con – The staff didnt really communicate in English so it was a bit hard for us. They didnt know how to explain the dishes.
Always a must-have when our family comes to visit! The food is very authentic, not to mention they serve up the best lobster noodles in town Its also BYO which is always a plus!
Dinner with family – 8 dishes of golden salted egg prawns, tofu seafood claypot, vege dish, roast platter, siizzling deer dish, abalone with vege, beef and vege and egg tofu dish. Very filling for eight people!
The famous dimsum house. (3.5)
Ambience: The place is quite big, there are two floors of seatings and is a nice family style eatery.
Service: We booked for 11.30 on a Sunday and were seated on the top floor. There will be people passing with dimsum carts, and we can choose what we want to have. We can also order directly what we want to the staff. They’re not the friendliest but did their job.
Food: Msot of the dimsum were too salty for me, especially the siew may. har gau and scallop prawn ones were not too salty. They were good size good texture and flavor so it was really such a shame. I did enjoy their lava egg bao, char siew puff, and Portuguese tart. The tofu pudding was good size and silky texture, but too little sauce and also needs more ginger in my opinion.
Price: average prices for dimsums
YUM: lava egg bao, char siew puff, and Portuguese tart
NAH: siew mai
photos: chicken feet, har gao, scallop and prawn, siew mai
