We accidentally came to Wai Kee Noodle Cafe thinking it was another restaurant. Oops. We didn't…read morerealize it was the wrong restaurant until we saw the menu. By that time, it was too late, the waitress had already given us tea and started chatting with us. So we order 2x beef egg noodles $40 ($5.13 USD) and a pig liver noodle ($5.13 USD). The stuff tasted OK. I wasn't expecting instant noodles. They were super busy and we still got our food fairly quickly. Good job staff at Wai Kee.

I happened to be in the Sham Shui Po area with a friend (after buying some electronic supplies at…read morethe arcade and street market), so I thought I'd give Wai Kee a try, as another friend recommended them for their beef and pork liver noodles. We had a bit of difficulty finding Wai Kee at first as the address was vague. We later found that there are 3 shops all along the same side of the street, all with people lined up outside - this was around 4pm! As my friend and I don't eat pork liver, we just opted for the regular beef noodles. It came out nice and piping hot - a definite good sign. The broth was tasty with the cooked beef, perfect for the winter cold. But I wasn't a big fan of the instant ramen noodles used, although typical of a local cha chaan teng. We also ordered the kaya toast which was absolutely delicious! It's essentially fried thick French toast with kaya (coconut jam) slathered in between. The woman sitting across from us (note: you WILL have to share tables), ordered her own after seeing ours, and had hers topped with condensed milk! People in HK like their food sweet, haha! Definitely worth the try if you're in the area, especially for the kaya toast!

If you're ever in the area or even just in Hong Kong, you should definitely try out this cart…read morenoodle. While the states have a few places have cart noodle, it is VERY different and taste drastically different. There is always a wait here, so make sure you plan ahead. First off, cart noodle originated from Hong Kong for the day to day workers looking for something good, quick, and affordable. Thus, the toppings are usually very simple, but this place definitely gave it some upgrades. You might need a friend that speaks some cantonese or it'll be a little difficult. Once you get to your turn, the lady #1 will ask what type of noodle you want. Then you stare at your bowl until lady #2 picks it up to ask you what toppings. If you don't speak cantonese, you can just point, but keep an open mind on what you pointed lol. Then, lady #3 will calculate the cost and ask you if you want the final condiments, such as spice, scallions, etc. Once you pay, they will drop off your bowl at whatever seat is open. Because the place is so small, be prepared to be sharing tables with people, it's a common courtesy. Enjoy!

Since…read moreI didn't get my HK Style French Toast from Australia Dairy Company the other day, I was excited to try it here. Kam Wah Cafe is also famous for their freshly baked Pineapple Bun and Butter. Can't start your day without some HK Milk Tea and Iced Ovaltine. My son said it's a good thing the nai cha in the states are not as good because he was starting to develop an addiction. Lol. For those of you who don't know, it's made with Ceylon leaves, evaporated milk and sweetened condensed milk. The French toast was so damn delicious but a bit indulgent. I do wish I could taste more of the peanuts. My son loved his bolo bao. We also shared a hot bowl of macaroni soup with Spam and lettuce. Thinking back, I regret not trying the Spicy Satay Beef Instant Noodle. I will have to look for this back in the states. The aunties working here are just the most adorable, very kind and welcoming. One of them took the time to help us navigate the huge menu and recommended a few items. I would come back again and again if I could. I have a mad love for these iconic HK Style Cafes aka Cha Chaan Tengs. These affordable quick-paced restaurants were influenced by the city's 150 years of British rule. Aside from the classic breakfast items, they also offer many delicious rice and noodle dishes in the afternoon.

We got here fairly early, so we didn't have to wait for a table. Service was as expected - quick, efficient, and no nonsense. A tell-tale sign of a good HK cafe. The food just hit the spot for me, bringing me right back to my childhood memories of eating this on weekend mornings at our local HK cafe. Note that they don't accept foreign credit cards, so be prepared with cash, Octopus, or Alipay.

Looking for a place to eat in the Sham Shui Po district, we came across this local wonton mein…read more(noodles) joint on Pei Ho Street. The prices on the wall advertised wonton mein for $19 ($2.50 US) a bowl and wonton soup for $24 ($3.10 US) a bowl. There were quite a few people inside eating, so we thought we would give it a try. We are glad we did. You get three huge wontons in the bowl and quite a decent portion of noodles to go with it. The noodles were al dente, just the way they should be and the wontons were delicious. As a matter of fact, the wontons were the best of all the ones I have tried in Hong Kong. Will definitely go back again for more delicious wontons in the future.

Just stop looking, drop everything you're doing and head straight over. This place is small and cramped. You will likely be seated with 3 other groups around a small table.

We had a larger group and already got into line by the time we realized we could have been looking for a table, so we stuck to take-out. Be sure to know what you want and say it clearly! They aren't waiting on anyone! We ordered a medium cheung fun, fish balls and century egg with pork congee. The cheung fun were so silky and soft, a texture I'll always love coming back to! The fish balls and pork congee were just OK though! I do wish we could have sat down for the congee because it was so hot, and also I wish we had some white pepper to put on top of it. It was a great quick snack stop and I wish I could get something like this in the US!

Yet another wonton noodle shop on my wonton noodle tour while in Hong Kong! Mak Man Kee is one of…read moreseveral well known shops that serve what Hong Kongers love most, a fresh and hot bowl of shrimp wontons with springy noodles. The space is very small inside and they only take cash. I wouldn't recommend dining with more than 3 people because of the super tight space. Best to come solo or with just a friend. I found their shrimp wontons decently fresh but not extremely memorable. The noodles weren't as springy as I'd like. The soup did not have the depth I was looking for. While it was comforting and soul warming, this place is not in my top ranking for flavor not consistency. Service was quick and efficient. Just not a very memorable place and overhyped in my opinion.

Hong Kong Cafes with a noodle focus almost always end up being my preferred places to chow down…read more Chui Hing (潮興魚蛋粉) is combines no nonsense service with killer food, along with affordable pricing and 24 hour availability to boot. The pretense is non-existent and locals (including myself!) seem to love it here. So like many noodle spots in HK, this place is fairly small. No big tables for 5+ but quite a few small'ish round tables that are good for solo eats or the invaluable food companion. The aroma coming from the semi-open kitchen should be enough inspiration for folks to know what they want upon arrival, but just in case they have the menus outlined along the wall. An easy way to start? Try a wonton and beef brisket with your choice of noodles. The wontons are somewhat pillowy in texture and full of flavor while the beef brisket is braised well while maintaining a perfectly chewy bite. The noodle variety is good, with egg / rice noodles winning over the crowd though I feel the e-fu noodles take the cake. Lastly, do not sleep on the beef tendon. It's practically butter when done right. Chui Hing does fancy itself as a HK style cafe, so other dishes like congee, fried fish skin, fried rice, may appear on the menu, focus on what to stack in your bowl instead. The staff is really helpful and welcoming.

Pretty good wonton noodle soup and milk tea. They're open 24/7 and very close to many local hotels…read more I only got takeout, but noticed great air conditioning inside. The prices are also very reasonable. I bought beef ball and wonton, wonton noodle soup. I didn't ask to have the noodles separate, but they still retained a good amount of chew by the time I got back up top the hotel. You can pay a little extra anywhere to ask them pack separate. The wontons are ok, beef balls are good, noodles are good, soup okay. The milk tea wasn't very strong but has a nice authentic back flavor. Everything was ready in under 5 minutes. Very good for takeout!
