Shake Burgers, Fries, and Tiramisu Shake
Kenneth C.

The place is very busy. The food is very good. We got two shake burgers, two fries, and two tiramisu milkshakes. The best was the tiramisu milkshake because it's unique and we don't have that back in the US. The service was pretty busy but you can tell the workers were working hard. The place is excellent since there is a seating area you can look outside and have a great view. I would recommend coming here if you're around the area. Overall, good experience and would come here again for the milkshake.

I was thrilled to see a Shake Shack in Hong Kong after not having it for so long. The ordering kiosk is pretty straightforward and allowed for a quick ordering process. They had the limited edition hong kong milk tea shake when I was there, so we grabbed that in addition to their regular shack burger. The food came out relatively quick, given that it was packed that day. The milk tea shake was hands down the best item I have ever tried from Shake Shack. It was creamy, had a strong milk tea flavour but not so sweet at the same time. Unfortunately, when I came back again the following week to get it, they replaced it with another limited edition item. I am really hoping they bring it back and make it a permanent item. Actually, just bring it to all locations because it was that good. The burger and the fries were amazing as usual. This is probably my favourite fast food chain of all time.

I've been wanting to come to Shake Shack for sometime. I was in the IFC area and decided to finally bite the bull it and brave the line. My four star rating is based on the following: Food: 4 stars Environment: 3 stars (would be higher if this place wasn't so crowded) Service/efficiency: 4.5 stars The line here is really intimidating but it moves really fast. I give the staff here a lot of credit for making ordering and service so efficient. I had the bacon shack burger with a single patty. I haven't had shake shack for almost ten years so it was almost like eating it for the first time. The price of the burger was 62 hkd, which for Hong Kong is not expensive at all. It is pretty hard to find a decent burger at this price point. The burger isn't very big but the patty itself was quite substantial and had a real nice juicy beef flavor to it. The cheese was also nicely melted and even though I don't like American cheese I enjoyed it. The bun is soft and a tad sweet. It is much better than an average hamburger bun that is often dry. The bacon was crispy but wasn't too flavorful. It provided a contrast in texture but I would have preferred my burger without it. The burger also had some red peppers which provided a little bit of tartness and heat to the burger. I really liked the addition and the peppers were a pleasant surprise. My favorite fast casual burger chain is still In and Out. I'm biased though being from California. Shake Shack isn't the best burger in HK. I still prefer Honbo. However, I think it's well worth your time if you are in the mood for a good burger.

It depends on what you're looking for but in my opinion, Shake Shack is the best burger chain on the planet. If you want good quality at great prices, In n Out. Habit burger, what a burger, five guys. All good options. But if you want the highest quality, you go with Shake Shack. Don't get me wrong, it's expensive. Be prepared to spend $15 USD pp but also know that you'll be satisfied. The meat is fresh and not over cooked. The bun is soft and buttery. The lettuce and tomato are crisp. The fries are salty and crispy. The hot dog is just ok so just stick with the burgers and you'll be fine.

Almost a month after opening... that lineup though! It was a solid 45 mins to 1 hour wait to place your order during the Friday lunch rush. Most people in line are ordering for the rest of their colleagues so that somewhat explains the long wait. After placing your order they give you a buzzer to let you know when your order is ready for pick up at the counter. This gives you some time to wander around hunting for a table to eat at. The wait for our food to come out was about 10-15 mins, so not too bad. We ordered a double Shackburger, Shack-cago dog, Shack Stack, fries, HK exclusive milk tea flavoured shake, and their Shack Attack Concrete. Holy... this was a lot of food tbh, but I mean... I wait for almost an hour so you gotta make the most out of this opportunity!! Shack Stack: Cheeseburger with a fried portabello mushroom. It was really good! You can tell the patty is fresh and pretty decent quality, it's got a dece beef flavour and quite juicy. Fries: YUM. Crinkle cut for extra crispiness!! Didn't choose to get fries with cheese because it was just nacho cheese-looking sauce, mehh. HK-exclusive Milk Tea milkshake: It was okay. Not really a strong milk tea flavour, more of a vanilla ice cream flavour. Lastly... Shack Attack Concrete: it's crazy sweet and crazzzyyyyyy chocolate-y. If brownies, chocolate, and icecream are your thing... then this is a must get. Cus that's literally it x10000. Definitely recommend sharing with someone else as the food can sit really heavy in your gut since it's so greasy (but yummy!). Downside to this experience was the seating. Indoor seats are extremely limited as their kitchen area is humungous. That just leaves you with the outdoor seats. During any season other than summer, these outdoor seats are perfect. But under the blazing sun? No thanks. There's also only like 2 umbrellas so majority of the tables are uncovered. Hopefully management will add more shaded tables as the temperature begins to rise! Overall, this was really good! But that lineup under the blazing sun... I would return again when it's not as busy.

I've revisited the place recently, and the rating stakes. I ordered a smokestack and a black and white shake with fries. While I am still in the fence about the crinkle cut fries, I do have to give props to them for keeping them crispy. That herb mayo is great too! Nothing brings me more joy than a place in HK that gives you actual mayonnaise as opposed to Miracle Whip (gag). The smokestack was good. I liked how smoky it was, and the bacon was light and crispy. The savoury pickles go really well worth the sauce, though I do feel that it would be better served with a more greens. The shake was also good- it was thick, but not overly sweet, and I was able to get a very good balance of chocolate and vanilla in it. 2 years in, it seems they've still got it. PS, that hand washing machine is fun. Shame people fail to the instructions on it properly... IT SAYS PULL THE PAPER TOWARDS THE LEFT PEOPLE!

ShackBurger & Milk Tea Shake (HK exclusive!)
Esther W.

Oh, Shake Shack, how I've missed you. I got a single ShackBurger which, to be honest, you can't really go wrong with. So delicious! The Hong Kong exclusive Milk Tea Shake on the other hand was a definite miss for me. The milk tea flavor was kinda weird and artificial. A friend ordered the Peanut Butter Shake and it was soooo much better. In terms of seating, indoor options are pretty limited, and the outdoor seating is generally okay if it's not ridiculously hot outside. We did witness one group of patrons narrowly miss getting pooped on by some birds, so I'd stay away from the tables located directly under the trees.

I had a double burger (no cheese) with some shake shack sauce and a peanut butter shake. First the shake. It belongs on a sandwich. I don't know how they did it but it tastes like you are drinking peanut butter. The burger is alright. Couldn't tell if it was grilled. On a Saturday night, the place was doing a rawing business. 50 people on line and a 20 minute wait for food. I'd come back because it's quick and easy. Kinda higher quality fast food.

Single burger
Anita C.

The wait on a Friday night (June): 30 minutes The food: I got a single burger. It was mighty tasty. Cheese fries were really good too! There seemed to be some seats around so it didn't seem too difficult. Happy and chill option when you just want to enjoy a burger and also not feel rushed.

Nothing to shout about... not sure why so many people is dying for this burger chain store. At least, I had tried it... ok burger here. If nearby and hungry, will consider... but definitely will not make a trip for this burger in my next visit.

My go to spot on a late night out when most spots are close around central. Loved the hand washing station. Was pretty amazing since we dont have that kinda of tech in the states. Quality and taste was on par with the states. Decor was decent nice layout and comfortable. Love the skyline view of hk on the outdoor eating area.

Shack Stack. Bomb!

The food is good, but the prices are simply out of line for what the customer is getting here. Many more places deserving of these prices.

Three of us ordered : the full slab of pork rib, the Number 88 burger, and a Hawaiian pizza…read more We took home one slice of pizza, the fries from the ribs, and about half a slab of ribs. We devoured the rest. The pizza was yum. For what you can find in HK, this was a good one. Cheese and tomato sauce tasted like Stateside pizza on a cracker-like crust. The ribs were falling off the bone. One quarter of the ribs was more bones than meat, kinda sad. The burger is as tall as ones head. We shared it , but I was the one who ate most of it. It's really a burger to be eaten in layers or with an unhinged jaw.

This place is new. Definitely new. A month ago when I was around the neighborhood I did not even…read morenotice this place. If you do not know how to go to this place, notice that it is located right next to Butterfly On Hollywood Boutique Hotel. It is just around the corner. This is an Italian restaurant and its burgers taste like heaven! I have to say that it is among the same level as the Burgeroom in Causeway Bay but slightly fancier than just a burger joint. Since its alcohol license is still under application period. You can now bring your own drinks. (7-11 is just close by if you don't mind people looking at you weird). The interior design is rather cozy with red bricks on the wall and wooden stools next to the bar. It is definitely a nice place to chill with your friends and colleagues. On the menu there are over a dozen of different burgers and the price range is between HKD$100 to HKD$200. At first I was rather taken back by the price but after trying it I would say I was rather pleased with it. I tried the Number 1 Burger mainly because I did not want to spend that much and I was not sure about its quality since it was new. It was made of Wagyu beef, cheese and relish. Later it was served on a rather huge chopping board and I was surprised how big this burger was! The paddy was juicy and very thick with nice tenderness. The buns were too very delicious. Overall I am definitely coming back in a month to try out other dishes!

Now I am a pescatarian and thus cannot even speak to the heart of Chef's Choice business…read moremodel...meat! Chef's Choice is part high end butcher, part deli, part wine store, part all things meat. I actually go in to get a mediterranean sandwich (all veggie on a fresh baguette) and a cup of soup to take home. They are always really fresh, flavorful and hot. The carrot soup last night was really delicious! They do not have any place for you to sit and eat, but it is a order and take away spot. Whether you are looking for some good cuts for a BBQ or a weekly delivery of chicken/salmon filet/beef, Chef's Choice seem like a prime spot to pick up your proteins. They have a fresh case of meats and there is also some they have prepared and prepackaged up for take away in their frig. Go grab a sandwich one day and try them out for yourself.

I'll come by here sometimes to get meats and cheeses, you might be able to find some good deals…read morehere. I'm a big fan of the chorizo but the marinated meats are also good. If you can spring for it the NZ lamb chops are great. I usually end up ordering from their sandwiches though. The Cubano is surprisingly good and the mustard they put in it makes it almost authentic. Their Philly, however is not authentic but a pretty decent steak sandwich with cheese. I've had their hot dogs as well,which are pretty good too. The Bacon-Jack is pretty self explanatory bacon with pepper jack and tasty.

While I love this place and some people I've…read moreintroduced it to have called it my 'canteen' because it's so close to where I live and the fact that I order from here all the time; the space is small and I don't know if writing more positive reviews will just make it all the harder for me to sit and order. However, they've since moved to a bigger space so I'm ok with sharing my not so secret place. I've tried almost everything on the menu and basically everything there is good. The burgers though-they have burgers with chicken, which doesn't count but are still delicious. Why come to a burger place though and not order beef? The beef here is fresh and delicious and it's cooked medium rare-medium. I only eat burgers at that level if I trust the beef to be high quality. I always get the burger here at that level. Price wise, compared to what you can get at other burger places it's just...you can't compare. While other places have a quality burger you pay-what you get here for the price is ridiculous. If you think that's subjective then they have a set for 68 bucks carry out during lunch: burger, fries, drink. It was so good that when I was home recovering from surgery I ordered it 3 days straight. Seriously, just go see for yourself.

When I opened it up I realized the entire inner burger was RAW. They cut the chicken meat into small pieces and form a patty that way. There were literally chunks of raw chicken in the center. Good thing I put a flashlight to the burger. Make sure you check your burgers before you eat them... The lady cooking should have come out and apologized for basically poisoning their customer. But nothing.

Okay, okay. I've changed my mind. I tried Peppa's Shroom burger (beef patty, pepper jack cheese,…read moresauteed mushrooms, sausage gravy, truffle mayo, red onion, and lettuce) and though it was extremely messy there are no regrets putting all of it in my mouth. The cook this time was on point, serving me a juicy patty that mixed with all the above flavours. Also, their milkshakes are very good. I loved the strawberry, and they even have one that's just banana, which makes my husband quite happy.

Came here for a dinner, and did some research beforehand, so I did go for the shake combo…read more I would however say that the shakes literally aren't anything too special, they're nice and thick, but it definitely does bug me that they used UHT milk. As for burgers, I had the "trailer trash burger" and that was really good. I appreciate the very light brioche bun that they used, though coating it in flour for a burger seems like a pretty bold move. The slaw was nice and crunchy, which added to the mushy texture of their chilli, and the beef patty, while small according to some yelper's standards seem reasonably sized considering the price and where you are geographically (Beef is really expensive here). The fries were crunchy and well seasoned. I did also grab a few fries from my friend's order of chilli fries, and while the chilli tastes nice, you can really taste the lack of Cajun spices. I also feel slightly betrayed that they used velvita instead of cheddar despite calling it cheddar chilli fries. Otherwise, this place is great, and I'd definitely come again, though I might just have a regular Soda the next time around.
