Best Dim Sum: Kirin

Our best formal Chinese restaurant picks up more Gold here. Kirin’s dim sum dishes—whether steamed, braised, or deep-fried—are all skillfully executed. Its five locations dole out stellar items, including those deep-fried bean curd wraps with prawns and pea tips.

Gingeri (Silver) employs a light hand with seasonings and sauces that epitomize Cantonese cooking. Its steamed dumplings, with translucent skins and bright jolts of green, are especially fine.

Sun Sui Wah (Bronze) is a real dim sum palace, churning out old-school items like chicken feet and top-notch spareribs.

Honourable Mention to both Sea Harbour and Shanghai River.
