Tao Tao Ju

Dim Sum140 YearsCantonese

A 140-year-old Cantonese institution where dim sum is still a morning ritual.

Tao Tao Ju has served Cantonese families since 1880, and its tea house still hums with the rhythm of the morning dim sum rush. Steamed shrimp dumplings, char siu bao, and egg tarts arrive by the basket.

It is loud, fast, and gloriously authentic. Go before 11:00 for the full experience, and let the staff seat you - the system has its own logic.

Best for: The classic Guangzhou dim sum morning, unchanged for over a century.
