Tim Ho Wan, the Michelin-starred dim sum restaurant from Hong Kong, opened last week in Irvine at the Diamond Jamboree Shopping Center.
It’s the first Southern California location of Tim Ho Wan, which has 47 outposts in nine countries, with U.S. restaurants in New York City, Las Vegas and Hawaii.
The restaurant earned worldwide acclaim when it opened in 2009 as a 20-seat dim sum restaurant in Mong Kok, Hong Kong, earning a Michelin star a year later. The restaurant has continued to earn a star for nine consecutive years.
Tim Ho Wan is best known for its baked BBQ pork buns, made with a sweet, sticky char siu(barbecued pork) encased in a cloudlike fluffy bread with a sweet, crunchy top. In addition to the buns, there are the usual dim sum favorites, including har gow (steamed shrimp dumplings), siu mai (steamed pork dumplings with shrimp), braised chicken feet with abalone sauce, congee with pork and preserved egg, steamed egg cake and fried turnip cake.
The restaurant is known as much for its long wait times as it is for the famous pork buns, but it may be a little easier to get those buns at the Irvine location: The restaurant plans to open a takeout window in the next couple of weeks. When it opens, it will be the first in the U.S. to offer this service. So with any luck, you’ll soon be able to order those BBQ pork buns and fried turnip cakes to go.

The baked BBQ pork buns really are worth the hype—I’ve been dreaming about that sweet char siu ever since I tried them at the Las Vegas outpost. I’m so glad Irvine finally has a spot that’s easier to get to. By the way, I keep a free mulch coverage calculator I like to share: https://mulch-calculator.net/

From what I have seen, Draw no Bet is best read as a settlement rule rather than any form of protection. The selected side still has to win, while a level result simply voids the entry and returns the amount placed. Anyone wanting the exact mechanics can look through dyspraksi.no and compare it with other markets before deciding. The difference from double chance matters here, since double chance covers two outcomes while this one covers a single winning result only. That is why the odds usually sit somewhere between a standard winner price and double chance. In practice the reduced risk is paid for through a lower return, so the comparison with handicap lines is worth doing. Nothing about it…
