The Jumbo is admittedly quite touristy but always fun. I enjoy any destination, especially restaurants, where you must travel by water to get there. Hey, the one minute and thirty second sampan counts, okay! Ha. Considering it was a nice fall day and perfectly comfortable temperature I decided for the 2/F balcony seats. The menu here at Dragon Court is massive however, it doesn't have an extensive dim sum menu. What they do offer in dim sum is very high quality though. There are a few quite imag
The food : Shrimp dumpling, (hargow) BBQ pork bun, (ta siu bao) a chef special shrimp and cabbage dumpling (gweilo phonetic spelling uncertain) Homemade egg tart (don tant) for dessert and some classic pu-er tea (po-lay-cha) to complement it all. The dumplings were all nicely sized and well put together. Just a small amount of MSG appearing on the shrimp dumplings. The taste was very fresh and flavorful. I did find the BBQ pork buns a bit average. Very thick bun and not much of that good pork to be found inside. Well, honestly, it's hard to eat any pork buns after you've had the ones baked at Tim Ho Wan!!
The service : Very attentive and never overbearing. You're waited on by multiple servers who cycle through the balcony area. All were super polite, seemed to put up with or enjoy my attempts at ordering in Cantonese (I try but am still a teesing gweilo )and appear well kept and clean.
The damage : I spent 210 HKD and stuffed myself with dumplings and drank so much tea that I may yet turn into a pu-er tea leaf. Despite the other posts you see on this restaurant describing it being well over priced I found great value for the money here.
In conclusion : Do check the opening times, I arrived at 11:15am and all other Jumbo restaurants were open but the Dragon Court opens at 11:30. I'd recommend it and will be back again for certain. Great choices for dim sum on the Jumbo, including an amazing Sunday brunch on the top deck but the Dragon is there to fill a little upper scale dim sum experience niche that I really enjoyed.
