Hai Tien Lo: Dim Sum Buffet Price & Is It Worth It (2026)
Unlimited à-la-carte dim sum, Cantonese-restaurant quality — weekday brunch from $72++.
Worth it if you take dim sum seriously. Hai Tien Lo isn't a warming-tray buffet — it's a proper Cantonese restaurant serving its dim sum unlimited and à-la-carte, so each basket arrives fresh rather than sitting out. Weekday brunch from $72++ ($36++ child) is premium, but you're paying restaurant quality, not buffet quality. For casual value dim sum, Peach Garden ($30++) is cheaper; for an occasion, Hai Tien Lo earns it.
You take dim sum seriously and want Cantonese-restaurant quality served unlimited and made-to-order, for an occasion.
Value is the point — Peach Garden's $30++ à-la-carte dim sum is less than half the price for the same format.

Is Hai worth it? The math
$72++ is about $85.70 nett per adult — high for dim sum, but this is Cantonese-restaurant cooking served unlimited, not a buffet line. Against Man Fu Yuan's $78++ weekend dim sum brunch, Hai Tien Lo's weekday sitting is the slightly better-value premium option, and a child at $36++ keeps a family sitting reasonable. If value is the goal, Peach Garden's $30++ à-la-carte dim sum is half the price; if quality is, this is the pick.
What's on the spread
- Made-to-order dim sum — har gow, siu mai, char siu bao — plated fresh, not held on a tray.
- Cantonese roast meats and mains, plus double-boiled soups.
- A dessert selection to close; weekend sittings are priced higher than the weekday brunch.
Make a beeline for
- The made-to-order dim sum — steamed prawn dumplings (har gow) and prawn-and-pork siew mai.
- Pan-fried beancurd skin stuffed with prawn paste, and deep-fried scallops.
- Cantonese roast meats and double-boiled soups alongside the dim sum.
Good to know
What diners actually say
Regulars call the made-to-order Cantonese dim sum genuinely good value on ordinary days, with the honest caveat of a fairly staid room, while the festive set menus swing to poor value.
