Maxim’s Palace Chinese Restaurant located at Podium, Sha Tin Town Hall, 1 Yuen Wo Road, Sha Tin in Hong Kong

Sept 30, 2016 –  美心皇宮 Maxim’s Palace Chinese Restaurant.

The dim sum posts continue!  Here are the dim sum that we ate at Maxim’s Palace Chinese Restaurant in Sha Tin (near the Sha Tin Town Hall and shopping complex).  

I was really impressed with the size of the restaurant.  Considering that Hong Kong has very limited space available for housing and there are cramped spaces and crowds everywhere, the size of this restaurant was truly fitting of its name — “palace”.  (Their website says that they can seat 600 people!)

Look at all that space!!

Beautiful chandeliers

They served traditional dim sum here and it was advertised right on their menu with the allure of the menu cover title announcing “classic Cantonese dishes and dim sum”.  We ordered our picks on an order sheet and submitted it.  The food arrived not long afterwards.

We got a really nice view next to the window too which showed the neighbouring apartments and park area.

What a really nice peaceful view outside the window!

The grand Maxim’s Palace, of which their parent company owns several restaurants in Hong Kong.  Maybe that’s why they have the capacity and ability to own so many large restaurants.
