TimHoWan, Dim sum restaurant in Xicun Village, Taiwan
Tim Ho Wan is a dim sum restaurant in Xicun Village, Taiwan, serving steamed and baked Cantonese-style dishes such as shrimp dumplings, pork buns, and vegetable options. It is a branch of the Hong Kong-born chain of the same name and serves freshly prepared small dishes throughout the day.
The restaurant was founded in Hong Kong in 2009 and later expanded across Asia and beyond, with Taiwan among its early destinations outside Hong Kong. The opening of the Xicun location reflects a growing interest in authentic Cantonese cooking outside its home region.
Tim Ho Wan brings Hong Kong cooking traditions to Taiwan, where dim sum is more commonly associated with big-city restaurants. The dishes follow Cantonese recipes built around steaming and gentle cooking, giving visitors a direct taste of that culinary tradition.
Peak hours tend to fall around midday and early afternoon when the crowd is largest, so arriving early or booking ahead helps. The restaurant is located in Xicun Village, which is reachable by public transport from nearby urban areas.
The original Hong Kong location became known for receiving a top rating from a well-regarded food guide while keeping its prices low, which caused a stir in the restaurant world at the time. That background has given the brand a reputation that draws visitors from across Asia.
