Foh San Dim Sum
Restoran Foh San
A famous Ipoh dim sum restaurant founded in 1971, retaining traditional trolley service on the city's famous "Dim Sum Street."
Founded in 1971 and relocated in 2009 to its current spacious, high-ceilinged location on Jalan Leong Sin Nam—known locally as "Dim Sum Street"—right opposite Ming Court. Staff push traditional trolleys around the fan-cooled dining hall, allowing you to view and select your dishes. Common items include siew mai, har gow, spare ribs, bean curd skin rolls, and crab meat siew mai. Food bloggers often find the deep-fried and pan-fried items more outstanding, such as the yong tau foo and pan-fried radish cake. Long queues are common on weekend mornings, and dim sum sells out early, so arrive early. Reviews are mixed, with some diners noting thick dumpling skins or brusque service. Boxed pastries are also sold at the entrance counter.
Opening hours
