The price is cheap and the flavors local yet slightly complex and interesting. I love coming here for a bite I know won't get me too full and give me a flavor of HK. They cook right at the steamy windows and each dish is made to order so its super fresh. Wonton Noodle Soup: It costs a whopping $6 US and the broth and wonton taste super traditional but well executed. They have the timing of the noodles down and they are always al dente and perfectly cooked. The broth has dried flounder giving it a deep umami flavor you will love!

On my wonton noodle tour, I decided to take myself to various well-known spots that pride…read morethemselves in making the best fresh shrimp wontons and springy noodles. I was excited to try Mak's for the very first time. Besides the quick and friendlier service, the space is well air conditioned and while cramped, the pros outweighs any of the cons. The signature wonton noodles were the best I have had and the quality really shows. Each bite of the shrimp wontons tasted crisp and fresh while the delicate wrapper held the full shrimp tightly and neatly. The shrimp itself was cooked to perfection and did not have any mushy texture nor overcooked chew. The noodles were as springy as ever and definitely tasted as much as they were worth. The broth was the clear winner whether or not you're the type to add some red vinegar or not. It is a broth with clear depth and flavor that does not overwhelm the tastebuds, nor send them to monosodium glutamate shock. It was such a great meal, I am already looking to enjoy another bowl sooner than later. And of course, for all the non-seafood lovers out there, the beef brisket noodles are just as worthy. Also, this spot serves free tea, no tea charge!

Pan Fried buns - not much juice inside at all. salted pork and steamed cabbage - the salted pork tasted like prosciutto and the steamed cabbage helps balance out the flavor Overall, I really liked this restaurant. Lots of uncommon Zhejiang style dishes to try here which really widened my appreciation for chinese food.

I'd say just a few people, no more than 15. But I did see that a few minutes after we were seated, more people showed up waiting in line. This restaurant had the most attentive staff I've ever been to. Not just for a dim sum restaurant, any restaurant, period! Not in an annoying (American way), but they're there to remove empty plates as soon as it's finished and there for your needs if you needed something. Now the food... They gave instructions on how not to burn yourself eating xlb.. because we've all been there... Too hangry and excited to eat it as soon as it arrives to your table. Xlb was very good! Actually, every dish we got were all very good! We'd definitely like to try the San Jose, CA location one since it's close to home... Just to compare if the taste will be consistent. :)

This was my first stop in Hong Kong for roast goose, and while it ended up being my least favorite of the meats, it was still very good--much leaner than I expected, with rich flavor. The true standouts were the roast pork and char siu. The roast pork had an ultra-crispy skin--almost sharp enough to cut your mouth, but in the best possible way--paired with juicy, flavorful meat underneath. The char siu struck a perfect sweet-and-savory balance, with a beautiful ratio of fat to meat that made each bite melt in your mouth. We also tried the suckling pig, which had wonderfully fragrant and flavorful meat. The skin was tasty, though not quite as crispy as the roast pork's. Service was fast, friendly, and efficient. The space is simple--white tiled walls, small stools, and a cozy, no-frills dining room that lets the food do all the talking.

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.
