Trying to keep the list complete:

Obviously
the original post was about TST dimsum places as I see.
Anyways,
Tsui Hang Village is cheaper cousin of the same group as Cuisine Cuisine (in IFC in Central, and Mira Hotel in TST).
THV in TST is ok, but dont go to the Cuisine Cuisine in TST (similar price point with many of evergrn's mentionings but rather badly managed. the IFC shop has the big bosses of the group and better clientele so is better).
the one in IFC is, however, much better than the both.

I was also looking at was Lin Heung. Is the food good with a very short answer, no. but many items you cannot find it elsewhere unless at obscure areas. you'll be here for the atmosphere and experience, of what dim sum was about many moons ago. if you want good dimsum, go to fook lam moon, the hotels, or other suggestions up/down thread., even if we have to fight for it? I mean, the friends I'm traveling with are the "up for anything type" so it's an experience if nothing else, but maybe we'd rather pass if we end up with OK food at the end of it.
see bolded. too lazy to respond properly

this is a very cool suggestion, if one wants to wander out of the english speaking area (then again, i wouldnt expect lin heung to be english ok. luk yu, maybe (i never tried but you never know what some waiter can handle)

not surprised you said this as you commented about the other chain with a central processing facility. I would very much agree too (to 99% of all maxims, with a few that an outsider may not know it's a maxim.) Except their City Hall branch is the very few dim sum parlours that still uses a push cart.
The others are a) Lin Heung (where you need to go to the cart and fight for food) and b) Metropol Rest at United Center "on top of" Admiralty MTR Station. (let me know if there are others)
Since im so bored i might as well start a wiki for dimsum....
