Small hole in the wall and be prepared to share a table. Got flat white noodles with fried tofu and some other topping. The soup was brown and the aroma was great kind of like a five spice smell and taste but not overpowering. It was delicious. And cheap like $5. You get your check when you order and then you bring it up to pay in cash. This place is good and I think the broth is better than tsim chai kee. But noodles better at tck. Still though I'm too old for hassles and sharing tables and waiting. Takeout might be the way to go.

Causeway Bay's commercial / shopping scene makes it easy to overlook old school noodle spots like…read moreWing Kee. Apart from the typical name, there is nothing typical about their rendition on classic noodle soups like wonton and or beef brisket noodles. In fact, I dig it so much I tend to get both. At the same time. My go to combo of beef brisket and wontons have been an easy choice practically each time. The consistency of the tasty broth, as well as the tenderness of the brisket makes this a popular choice for virtually all patrons. A dash of hot oil and some scallions make this a fun late night bowl of goodness as well, though I tend to come here more often than not for a solid work lunch. While beef brisket and wonton is my personal favorite, just about any combination can be had here. I've seen people order ones with hard boiled tea eggs (茶蛋) and blood cubes (豬紅) or radish (蘿蔔) in the soup pile. At some point the noodles become overlooked, so instead of traditional wonton egg noodles, I try to see if they'll get me yee noodles or lo mein. Of the two locations in CWB, this one seems to be less crowded. Their sister spot on Sugar Street is also really popular, but I prefer coming here because I will always get a table at any time. They're both equally dingy but worth the visit for a reasonably priced meal. The service isn't much to rave about, but then again, there aren't many noodle spots that are. It's strictly cash only and better as a solo meal than a group outing.

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!

Absolute favorite ramen place ever for the consistent quality and the amount of memories from…read more4pm-4am I've made here. They make their ramen so customizable which I really appreciate. Ichiran really has a great system down so your order is ready as soon as possible. There's nothing quite like the joy of filling out your paper to customize your ramen. The seats have dividers to the left and right (you can still chat if you've come with friends though!) so when you get your ramen, it really feels like it's just you and your ramen in that space. It's pretty magical. They also have really good water...there's just something really good about it, you'll see. Go here. I still dream about Ichiran and I've been back in the US for over a year now. PS I definitely had already eaten some of my ramen before I took this pic. No restraint

If you're in Causeway Bay and want a dependable bowl of delicious tonkotsu ramen at any hour, Ichiran delivers.

Our concierge recommended this spot since it's only a five-minute walk from the hotel. When we…read morearrived, there were already about seven people lined up, which usually feels like a good sign, though you never quite know whether they're locals or fellow hotel guests following the same recommendation. The menu is written outside and very straightforward. You choose your protein portion (from one up to six kinds), any cow offals, then select your noodles -- egg, rice, flat, skinny, etc. There are also a few sides available, such as vegetables, deep-fried fish skin, and drinks. Service is extremely fast. As soon as you walk in, you can place your order, the soup is brought out quickly, and once you're done, you pay at the exit. Very efficient. Just remember that you will be sharing tables with strangers as this is part of the culture! Land is gold in HK! The soup itself was quite tasty, though a bit salty for my preference. The portion size was slightly smaller compared to similar noodle shops I've tried, but considering the price, it was still a satisfying meal overall. Cash only!

I don't think there's a time where Wing Kee (榮記) isn't packed full of people. The rush of Causeway…read moreBay doesn't always guarantee crowds in each spot, but this noodle house will always have a line at some point during the day. Even though I feel like their heydey was years ago, they have still managed to stay steady as a local favorite. It's as cramped as any eatery in HK, with a few stools along the wall and tiny tables for the occasional group slurp session. The staff is usually pretty on it and they're under the assumption that most folks walking in there know exactly what to order. As a result, all the menus are in Chinese, it's cash only, and the dishes run from $30-55 HKD at this point. Cart noodles (車仔麵) are a unique staple in these parts. It is a literal mixed bag of noodles (flat, thick, skinny, etc.), toppings (seafood, meats, organs, etc.) and broth. There are as many as 20 ingredients to choose from, but most get around 3 selections (三餸車仔麵) and I usually opt for beef brisket, a helping of radish, and some of their extra salty fried fish skins. I think everyone should just get a large mixed bowl of thick noodles (大雜粗麵) and shoot for pork neck and tripe. Locals love it, trust me. Don't be intimidated by the lines. People eat and go, so the waits are usually in the 5-15 min range. If you don't speak Cantonese, be prepared to show pics on your phone and expect to pay around $45-50 per person. There are other Wing Kee locations throughout the island, but this one on Sugar street will forever be their most popular one.

The fish weren't so pulverized into a homogenous paste, so you could instantly see they were made with real fish. But what really threw me for a loop was the dip/sauce it was served with: appeared to be fermented clam or oyster sauce? And I don't mean regular oyster sauce this was quite salty, umami, fermented for sure. Seating is comfortable and the decor is fine, but designed for small parties/groups.

The place is popular and can get busy at times where you do need to share tables with other strangers (which is a super normal thing in HK). My party of 3 and I stopped by Lucky Star on a Sunday morning around 8am. The place was surprisingly busy but we were able to grab a table right away. You order via QR code and pay at the cashier afterwards once you are finished. The walls had really nice photographs of HK (from IGers I actually follow on Instagram!). All of us opted to get breakfast sets which include a noodle dish, pastry, and drink (as well as scrambled eggs and toast). Food came quickly and I enjoyed my pickled veggie and pork instant noodles as well as the pineapple bun which was hot and fresh. The milk tea tasted great and had a strong tea flavour. Overall, great place for HK style breakfast in the Causeway Bay area! I can see why this place is popular!

It is like getting a thumbs up from Anthony Bourdain. The place is rather small and limited seating. Thus sharing tables might be a norm here during the busy hours.
