the place is very cramp. the tables are small, hardly has any space to place your food.
the staff are not friendly but arrogrant and snobbish. not worth the time and money.

Probably one of the most affordable ones that I have tasted. Although it is cheap but the food is good. It beats some of those dim sum served in restaurants which I have tasted. Other than the queue and the slow service, nothing is bad about here to me. You wouldn't like it if you don't like to share table with strangers.

If you ever wonder how traditional Dim Sum is in Hong Kong? Victor is the a good place to gauge your expectations. This place served HK style Dim Sum with the HK attitude and atmosphere. It is no fuss, long queue, cramp, back to back seating and table sharing. Service is minimum, but the food is excellent on a good day. 


So how is the food? A few things that you should not miss here: Golden Egg Yolk Lava Bun (Custard Bun / Jing Sha Nai Wang Bao), Victor's King Prawn Dumpling (Har Gao), Yutiao Cheong Fun; and Chicken and Sausage in Glutinous Rice (Lo Mai Kei).
 
The Golden Egg Yolk Lava Bun come straight from the steamer. The bao is soft texture, when it is perfectly steam, the salted egg custard will be oozing out from the centre of the bun when you tear the bun. Nice combination between the salty and sweet flavour, Super Yummyy!!!!
 
Next the Yutiao Cheong Fun, a nice crispy texture of the fried Yutiao wrapped with Cheong Fun swimming on light soya sauce mix. The cheong fun is slightly on the thicker side compare to common cheong fun, but it is to my preference. The Lo Ma Kei is fragrant, soft and moist. A little sticky as you expect in glutinous rice.
 
We are a bit disappointed that they run out of their Har Gao this time around, but we order stuff such as: Tasty Queen Siew Mai – slightly on the tough side, the filling is very compact; not the Siew Mai that I prefer.
 
Fresh Chicken w/ Wolfberry Fruit and Rosey Wine Steam Rice – Chicken are tender and moist, but can't taste the rosey wine. Slightly bland, and need to add the soya sauce to give more flavour to the dish.
 
Scallop, Sausage Carrot cake with XO Sauce – The carrot cake taste is smooth but a bit bland. You can't really taste the the scallops and the sausage. After we are finished, we realised that the service staff that did not give us the the XO Sauce, no wonder it is bland.
 
Rosey Wine Yummy Char Siew Bun – The bao is soft and moist, goes well with the fragrant and sweet char siew. Good but not great.
 
For drinks, the H.K. Summer Ice Tea is a must try. They place the ice on the outside of the cup to chill down the drink. This to ensure the melting ice does not effect the texture and smoothness of the tea. Yummyyy, authentic HK Milk Tea.
 
Overall, if it is not a busy day, Victor's serve quite satisfactory HK Dim Sum. However, there are times when they are too busy or miss the timing to take it out from the steamer and causing their food quality standard to drop. Don't expect restaurant standard, but if you want a real deal of how HK commoners eat, you can give this place a try.
