All-day dim sum in TST: Hau Fook Street vs traditional yum cha hours
When classic teahouses stop steaming at 14:30, Caterking’s model keeps the baskets coming into the evening — here is how to plan.
Tsim Sha Tsui is dense with visitors, which means lunch queues spike on Saturdays. Caterking’s Hau Fook Street shop is a practical choice when you want dim sum after typical yum cha hours because we serve dim sum all day rather than stopping at mid-afternoon like some classic teahouses.
That does not mean instant seating — the kitchen still steams per ticket, so a busy floor feels slower even if the menu is available. Use Reservations for birthdays or six-tops, and mention allergies in the notes field so the floor can sequence steamer batches safely.
For wayfinding, start from the Maps link on the Locations card and confirm the building name at the door; mall addresses are easy, but street-level TST blocks can blur together after dark.
The Menu page highlights steamed and baked sections so you can pre-build an order list, and the har gow article explains why two pieces per basket is normal here.
Compared with Central or Admiralty hotel lounges, TST trades harbor views for walkability — you can pair a meal with shopping on Nathan Road or a short hop to the West Kowloon corridor if you are stitching a day together.
