This time it was hot, humid, and rainy around 11:20 am and our party of 4 was able to get a table easily though it was crowded again once we were finished. This place is so famous we saw people come straight from the airport with all their luggage! Portions are very good and probably too small for most people but I loved the size. Goose and Soy Sauce Chicken: They are most known for their roast goose which has a complex and layered seasoning different than other HK roast duck/goose places. This is my go to dish, this time it tasted great but my portion of goose was super small and I split it with a friend to not get too full so it was even smaller. We also ordered the same dish with noodles and roast pork with soy chicken, both the people who had this never had Yat Lok before and totally cleared their plates, don't forget to mix each bite with some of the oil scorched green onions!

Cash only! They literally has a Auntie sitting by the door ready to take your cash!…read more Yat Lok is a family owned business located in Central, Hong Kong specialized in roast geese and Cantonese roasted/bbq meats. It's held a one Michelin star consecutively for 11 years!!! This was on my top list of places to go. Obviously, we got the roast geese. It wasn't as good as I had expected because I think we got the fatty leg section. Don't get me wrong, the glistening roast geese was delicious! I just wish it wasn't as fatty. We got the quarter size because we want to try other dishes. Crispy roast pork + Char Siu (Barbecue Pork) was on point! The roast pork skin is crispy and tasty. Char Siu is savory and sweet with smoky flavor. The vegetables was simply prepared but so good. It helps break up the greasy food. White rice and noodles for carb. This was a hearty meal. It is on the expensive side compare to other casual Cantonese bbq meats spot.

I've been eating at this place since 2004 and the char siu is always good. I personally prefer it…read moreto Joy Hing, as the char siu is better and this place includes vegetables and a drink (can coke/tea or soup) with your order. The soup is really good - for tourists, don't freak out if you find bits of chicken feet in bottom of the bowl. You don't have to eat them and its all been cooked down to create the great flavours in the soup. Finally, one additional perk of this place is you can get the food for takeaway and cross the street to Southhorn Playground to watch the weeknight 7-a-side football games, and perhaps learn a few choice words of Cantonese when a player shoots off target ;)

It looked more like a take out kind of place but we saw tables in the back and started to enter the shop, but the floor was so greasy, we were seriously thinking about making a 180° and skip this place. I don't know if it was the look on our faces or that we were a bit better dressed then the uncles in their white tanks with legs propped up on stools or what, but the kind lady proprietor suggested we eat at their "nicer atmosphere" dining room a few doors down. The dining room greeted us with nice A/C and floors our shoes had better grip on. The food is ordered here and they will prepare the soup, noodles, drinks, etc. but all the siu mei still comes over from the other shop. The roasted meats we're tender and tasty, no lie. I'd say even skip all those starchy fillers and go straight for the roasted proteins. The portions here are very generous and we felt a little guilty leaving some pieces uneaten. Hong Kong definitely has no shortage of siu me shops and I'm glad the tasties they offer remain classic and unchanged. Looking forward to finding new gems.

Oh my! This was probably the best darn char siu I've had ever. We accidentally stumbled into the…read moreneighborhood and I checked my bookmarked restaurants. We sat down and ordered the soy sauce braised pigeon and the char siu. The braised pigeon was good, albeit a bit small to nibble on given the cramped space at the table but hey...you're in Hong Kong. The winner was for sure the char siu. We ordered it with half fat and half lean without rice or noodles so we could stuff ourselves with more food later. The char siu comes with gailan vegetables so you don't feel that bad ordering pure meat. It was incredible. We loved the fatty cuts and the char siu was tender and not overpoweringly seasoned. Don't forget to pack your own tissues. We tucked into the pigeon with our hands and needed a few Kleenex tissues to wipe it off.

Pretty good. I sat down at about 5:30pm on a Sunday night and the place jammed packed by 6:30.

The see you gai & siu yuk (sour sauce chicken & roast pork) was meaty & crispy where it should be with just right amount of fat. Correctly sized portions (not American or Japanese) means I was satiated without wanting to explode. Going to keep this place in mind for this neighborhood.

A very delicious traditional Hong Kong BBQ restaurant, my friends and I came down here during one…read moreof our adventures. Our server was a charismatic older gentleman who was able to give us recommendations. I felt like I was in those old-timey, classic-style Hong Kong diners. Thinking back to this restaurant is making me emotional for some reason. I have nostalgia for a place that I won't be able to go back to for a while. I always am a fiend for goose on rice because of how difficult it is to find outside of Hong Kong, especially in the U.S. I also ordered an almond drink because of my sweet tooth and need for warm beverages that are also hard to find outside of Hong Kong. Ask for an English menu if you can't read Chinese.

The imperial Is a little too sweet for me.

This is now my favourite fried chicken place in Hong Kong. We picked this place randomly because…read moreour original choice for dinner wasn't open yet (we were hungry at 530pm, don't judge), and I left amazed at how good the food was here. We had the chicken poutine fries, fried catfish, fried chicken legs, and the best of all fried chicken tenders. While everything we tried was really good, the chicken tenders was definitely the best fried chicken I've had in Hong Kong. The chicken strips were boneless and the batter wasn't too thick. When I bit into it I was surprised by how so tender and juicy they were! The fried catfish was also silky smooth, the pieces fell apart when picking it up with the fork, delish ! Doesn't hurt that they have over 20 beers on tap, will definitely be back

Anyways, you must reserve a table much earlier coz it's super crowded and walk in is almost impossible. Food was great and we had a great time there. The only thing was that we only had 1.5hours for the BBQ and we found it not enough. We still wanna eat more but didn't have much time... anyways, I recommend this place to people who wanna have authentic Osaka BBQ experience.
