Timwah Dim Sum Restaurant

Came for the gluten free options and it did not disappoint! The food is so flavorful and there are a lot of GF options. Highly recommend the shrimp tofu, sticky rice, black pepper ribs, and spare ribs. Will definitely be returning. Service is quick and staff are very friendly. Menu can be intimidating but ask for help!

Tim Wah is a humbler, less formal, experience than Y & H --it's perfectly fine for dine-in but seems they do a lot of take-away business as well. The staff are prompt and kind and the interior--again--is fine but not fancy, which can be quite nice if you want a quiet and casual experience. Only thing I didn't care for at all was the music: 90s soft rock standards you've heard a million times already at Publix. With all the great Canto-pop and Mando-pop out there, I don't get why Chinese restaurants insist instead on American music we've all heard elsewhere and many of us don't like. It seems halfhearted and detracts from the ambiance. The food did however make up for the awful music. The steamed shrimp dumplings were good and also generously large, the eggplant stuffed with shrimp also large and very tasty, but the pineapple buns were the best--the utter best--example of such I've yet tasted anywhere. Better than several dim sum places in San Francisco for that matter. Just perfect. However, I had to ask for chili oil and it wasn't the finest, either in fact tasted a bit stale. (If you're picky about dim sum, you can be picky over chili oil, too.) The soy sauce on the tables was Kikkoman light . . . I would have hoped for a Chinese brand, especially Hong Kong's famed Koon Chun brand. Diluted red vinegar being served would also be nice, and not done here.So for the actual food, I highly recommend them. The restaurant though for the above reasons like the music and soy sauce feels a little rough though. With food this good, they could put a bit more effort in to really offer a seamless experience that wows but it's not quite there yet.

Came in for lunch and the place is clean. Service was quick but the star of the show was the food. The restaurant is not fancy but if you want Dim sum, this is the place. If you're not familiar with the food, there's pictures of the menu and ask if you're in doubt.

We found this place during our stop in Jax and immediately knew we had to stop here for dinner. I'm glad I did. Their dim sum was amazing. We tried an assortment of stuff, of which the pork and chive were my favorite. The kids loved the siu mai and soup dumplings. Husband and I liked the stuffed jalapeños and the taro bun. My kids thought the taro buns were so cute!I however do not recommend the salt and pepper shrimp. Not only was it too salty, the shrimp was battered (which isn't like any salt and pepper shrimp I've had) and the oil smelled old and overused. Service was fast. Our food arrived in a reasonable time. All our servers were sweet and served with a smile. The ambiance is pretty nice, warm and cozy. Overall I recommend the place.

Timwah is a great choice for Dimsum at an affordable price but leaves a little to be desired in a few key areas when dining in.My partner and I love the rice and noodle entrees. They're delicious, filling and reasonably priced. The dim sum ALMOST never misses here. The pork buns and shumai are delicious. My one disappointment on our recent visit was the pineapple bun which was extremely lacking in filling and flavor.The service is generally great here, both dining in and for takeout, but the music being played in restaurant is always odd for one reason or another. It is always the same artist or set of songs being played on repeat. One instance it was 60+ minutes of Taylor Swift, our most recent visit was 60+ minutes of Christian rock music. It was just odd and a little disturbing to the relaxing evening we were trying to enjoy. I think a chill instrumental music playlist could go a long way here.

First time here. Reviews didn't disappoint. All food was authentic and amazing and great service and vibe in the restaurant.

This is probably my favorite dim sum restaurant in Jacksonville. The other restaurant that offers dim sum is YH Dim Sum, but I haven't found the quality and flavor of their dishes to be as good as Timwah. Timwah was portion size is a little smaller than YH, however. Interior is pretty bare bones with just a few tables.

Phenomenal breakfast/lunch! Items come out as they are prepared, piping hot. The taste and flavors were absolutely amazing, and I can't wait to go back. Just FYI this place is small and gets very busy. The waitress was very polite and helpful.

We are big fans of Lucky Cat Dimsum and Tim Wah is a sister restaurant. Tim Wah was bright and spacious. Tables were nicely spread out. The service was prompt and efficient and the food was delicious. I thought the steamed pork buns were excellent. I liked them better than Lucky Cat. The dumplings were oustanding and packed full of deliciousness. We preferred the pineapple buns at Lucky Cat because they have a piece of pineapple in each bun along with the pineapple mixture. The ones at Tim Wah did not. They do not serve from carts. The dimsum is definitely authentic and worth a visit.

They sell delicious, they even have mochi, fast service, the only downfall is their closed on Sundays, theres a lot of old people eating in there
