Hong Kong's iconic Lin Heung Tea House (Lin Heung Lau), a century-old dim sum institution, is opening its first-ever branch outside Central – and it's going 24-hour. The new location is set to debut at the end of May, bringing its beloved pushcart dim sum service to the bustling hub of Tsim Sha Tsui (TST).
The new TST branch will occupy a 9,000 sq ft space across two floors along Kimberley Road in the Cheung Lee Commercial Building (next to the steep slope that leads to Knustford Terrace – the 'LKF' of Kowloon). With plans to operate around the clock, closing only for a brief daily cleaning period, the new branch is sure to welcome plenty of late-night revellers, local foodies, and tourists seeking authentic Hong Kong-style yum cha.
After its closure in 2022, the Wellington Street flagship reopened under new management in April 2024. The return of veteran staff, signature dim sum cart service, and the added new element of bubble tea and hand-shaken drinks were welcomed with open arms by nostalgic patrons and curious new diners alike.
The new Tsim Sha Tsui branch will stay true to its heritage with traditional teaware, classic dim sum items, dim sum trolleys, and other features that make this place the legendary establishment that we all know and love.
