Located at 23330 Grand Circle Blvd., Ste. 180, Katy, the Chinese eatery held a lion dance and ribbon cutting to celebrate its new territory in Katy. Yu Koyama, principal of Tim Ho Wan USA, said its opening date was strategically chosen with feng shui in mind to ensure the restaurant's success.
Chef Mak Kwai Pui, founder of the international chain, has been on-site to oversee the highly anticipated opening, according to a Nov. 7 press release from NewQuest deals. He and other chefs from Hong Kong personally trained the staff of the new restaurant. Leading the team is Chef Paul Li, a well-known local dim sum specialist with more than 35 years of experience.
"It takes at least 10 years of specialized training or experience to become a Chinese dim sum chef," said Koyama. "We were fortunate to find someone so experienced in Houston."
Tim Ho Wan occupies a 5,160-square-foot end cap in the Katy Grand shopping center, located at the intersection of I-10 and the Grand Parkway. The interior features approximately 120 seats, with additional patio seating. www.timhowanusa.com
