Michelin stars are awarded to the crème de la crème, top tier restaurants of the world. More often than not, this translates to expensive establishments. However, the cheapest Michelin Star restaurant is a dim sum joint named Tim Ho Wan.
Located in Hong Kong, Tim Ho Wan defies Michelin stereotypes. It's a hole-in-the-wall experience that offers most dishes for $1.50 and under without sacrificing taste, from crispy pork buns to steamed rice noodle rolls. As for the restaurant's most expensive dish, diners will have to shell out a cool $5.40 for noodles that (we can only assume) are superb.
Even though the joint has been much busier ever since their star was awarded, they don't plan on racking up prices anytime soon. Sure the decor might be lacking, but that's not what Tim Ho Wan is about. The restaurant's focus on simply excellent dim sum speaks for itself.
