I just wanted lunch today. Anything! But my friend dragged me up a hill because he said I needed to…read moretry their Korean Fried Chicken. He told me we may need to queue. It was hot and humid, like any day in Hong Kong and I just wanted to sit down. At 1pm, we didn't wait long and the server was very courteous to us. It's always tricky to determine how long the wait will be and I appreciated that he kept checking in with us as we stood outside hot and sweaty from our walk; letting us know that as soon as a group pay their bill, we can be seated. Their set lunches range from $40 to $70, which is reasonable. We both ordered their set lunch no. 9 - soy Korean fried chicken wings. Perfectly marinated and served to us quickly. Their drinks are not as desirable though. I ordered their signature ice coffee and it just didn't hit the spot. for a $15 add on, it was less of a bespoke, unique Korean coffee and more of a Nestle instant with a bit of caramel on top. Their signature dishes? Cheese Egg Roll and Oppa Riceball. This foodie will definitely be returning for more chicken, more cheese, more rice and that chilled and friendly service! OPPA!

Loved the original and pepper crispy combo that we got. If you're debating whether to get bone-in or boneless, get the boneless. They're much easier to eat. It also comes with spicy mayo and sweet and sour dipping sauces. YUM! Note: it takes a while (~30 mins) to prepare the chicken since it's oven roasted so plan accordingly.

Sitting atop a brightly lit high rise in this brightly lit vertical city is Mong Kok's Goobne…read moreChicken. It's a surprisingly large and open wooden space, which is refreshing after bumping knees and getting breathed on by strangers all day, every day. Your first step inside is greeted with TV screens playing Kpop and the smell of sizzle and sauce; it's a Korean fried haven. Goobne specializes in, you guessed it, Korean fried chicken, but with a heavy infusion of Western bar food. They've got salads, pastas, Asian style rice rolls, and a variety of fancy margaritas (one with a shark). Mostly though, you're here for the chicken. On my initial visit, my friend and I shared: Appletiser: Some foreign apple sparkly with a punny name. It's what you expect. Fizzy apple juice in a bottle. Overpriced because of its foreignness and because it's in a bottle. Caesar Salad: This is not a Caesar salad. Caesar sauce (in a cup on the side, no less) with some veggies, croutons, and parmesan does not a Caesar make. Who adds frisee to a Caesar? Or red cabbage? OR TOMATOES AND CUCUMBERS? It's fine for a salad. Just know that you are not ordering a Caesar when you order this Caesar. Rice Crunch Chicken Boneless: Yes, this is where it's at! A well-portioned amount of crispy boneless chicken covered in sweet and spicy sauce, carried out in a cast iron pan. To make it better, tiny rice bits cover the chicken for extra crunch. To make it EVEN better, pieces of sauce-soaked Korean rice cakes are mixed in. SO. GOOD. Strawberry Milk Snow: I don't know what I was expecting for this. Something more like shaved ice? Nope. Milk snow is exactly what it is: creamy crystals that melted on impact. It was incredibly unique and the right amount of sweet with the ice cream and strawberries mixed in. 10/10, will choke on ice particles again. Goobne Chicken is goodne chicken. There, I said it. Though my puns are bad, Goobne isn't. And with this being one of several locations in HK, you can always get your fried chicken on. Whether you're in the mood to hang out, or to grab a sharkarita, or just to get some good grub, Goobne is one great choice in the city with way too many food choices. (52/100) - 100

That's good enough visual for me to wander into this restaurant specializing in jook (congee). The beef jook was very tasty and filling. The beef chunks were thin and tender, and the jook consistency was smooth and thick. It's not the ideal breakfast for a warm and humid October morning, but the fresh cold soy milk was mildly sweet and refreshing to help balance the temperature. On the side, I had the rice noodle-wrapped fried doughnut. Drizzled with a bit of soy sauce, it was a little on the salty side. However, the rice noodle had good texture (not too sticky or chewy) and the fried doughnut was chewy on the inside and crispy on the outside. Overall everything tasted very fresh and delicious! This shop may be small, but service was quick and friendly. Despite a line, you'll be seated within a few minutes. This is a great place in Mong Kok for a satisfying meal for under $40 HKD.

The jook here is awesome!…read more While I was visiting Hong Kong one of my travel companions really wanted to find a place with good jook with no MSG. My local friend brought me here while we were in the Mongkok area and this is just a little mom and pop shop on the street. I had the sliced pork jook and it was really nice on the palate, not overly salty as some places would make it. The taste of the pork was clean and flavorful and came through instead of being hidden by white pepper and salt. The fried donut wrapped in rice noodle was among one of the best that I've ever had. The donut was lightly crispy with a chewy center. The rice noodle was warm and embraced the donut. The sweet soy sauce soaked in nicely and made every bite super tasty and savory.

Fortunately, we were able to grab a table since we met at 10 AM on a Tuesday, but the service was quite slow. Overall, the food was pretty good and innovative. There were pastries that looked like shiitake mushrooms, but were soft baos that were filled with taro. I also enjoyed the lap cheong bao and custard buns. We didn't get too many savory items (only tried the har cheung and siu mai), but I remembered the sweet items were better. Not a bad spot for dim sum since it's close to the subway station and in general, a lively neighborhood to hang out at.

It's a solid spot if you're after decent, no-frills Cantonese dim sum without the usual chaotic crowds. The food was genuinely tasty - nothing mind-blowing, but everything fresh and well-executed. We went for their special set lunch, which comes with a great mix assortment of dim sum classics (har gow, siu mai, char siu bao, etc.). Portions are generous, and it's perfect for sharing. What I really liked was the vibe: the interior feels elegant with those big chandeliers giving it a touch of class, but it's still relaxed enough for a proper catch-up conversation. No yelling over noisy tables here - it's surprisingly chill for TST, especially at lunchtime. Service was friendly and attentive (a nice change from some rushed spots), and the prices are super reasonable - way better value than a lot of the touristy places nearby. Great for a casual meet-up with pals when you want good dim sum, a comfy setting, and no madness. Definitely adding it to my go-to list for easy lunches in the area!

Both of which the contents inside are quite sparse. I would come here again in a heartbeat.

Total cost was $194 HKD including the service charge. Pros: - really tasty food, a user-friendly menu especially if you're a tourist or expat, food comes out quickly and the tea is really good paired with the food. - fast and friendly service, English menu available - festive interior with lots of paintings, lanterns hanging from ceiling - great air conditioning , recommend you don't get a seat behind the fan units or else you won't feel it - decent portions for the price of a fancier sit down restaurant with tablecloths (but I'm writing this from the point of view of an American tourist , it might be considered more pricey if you're a local ) Cons: - Google maps isn't great when it comes to Asia and restaurants on different levels /floors - this place is under a few escalators - the 2 soup dumplings were squished into a tiny serving dish, so it was really hard to get them out without having the soup leak. But that's my only complaint Overall, I 10/10 would come back here for food if I'm in the mid-levels area. Delicious, fast service, good Chinese food. - May not be as "authentic" if you're looking for the really intense flavors of Szechuan cuisine etc, but I feel like it's pretty obvious from its appearance and location that this is for expats/tourists. There were definitely a few white people here, but there were also locals here , so that's promising to me. I really don't think it's fair to fault the place for being more westernized, it's in a neighborhood that serves a lot of international expats anyway.

Actually, scratch that, it should be BAKED chicken. Slightly different than fried. It would be my first time trying Korean Baked Chicken (KBC if that's even a thing?), but I think I still prefer the fried version. The japchae and the soondoobu were spot on! We ordered one curry baked chicken and one spicy one - I preferred the curry one more. A little hard to communicate with the servers, tried requesting for more water in Cantonese and they could not understand... until I pointed at my water cup and those of the rest of the table. I'll need to try other KFC places to make a fair comparison, but all I can say is, you can't go wrong with Goobne!

Once seated, it felt like a typical chain restaurant however the service was actually quite acceptable for being so busy. Everyone was drinking these fancy drinks that were blue with toy sharks or upside down beers inside a frozen concoction. Very Korean and very popular these days. The "yogiyo" button for service came in super handy. We decided to order the chicken salad which was quite tasty and healthy. I liked how they put the dressing on the side so it wasn't drenched. The salad was quite a healthy portion for 2 people. We also got the crunchy rice boneless sweet chicken that was really tasty. Very nice crunch and also a good portion for 2 people. Finally we washed it all down with fish cake soup. On a cold night, it totally hit the spot. All in all, it was a good meal and quite authentic tasting. I would come back again, minus the wait. Recommended.
