Ho Choi (好彩海鮮酒家) is located on the 5th floor of Millennium City, smack in the middle of all tall…read morebusiness buildings in Kwun Tong. There are two lift areas to go up - one in the main lobby and one off to the right side, down a narrow hallway (best for when the main lifts are too busy). When talking to my friends about the best places for dim sum, establishments such as Maxim's Palace, Tim Ho Wan, Lei Garden, Dim Dim Sum and One Dim Sum pop up. But not many know about Ho Choi... Why is that? I'm actually not too sure myself. They have two branches in Sheung Wan/Sai Wan, which could be far for some, and one in Kwun Tong (which I frequent because it's close to where I work). Some say the original Ho Choi in Sheung Wan/Sai Wan is OK, nothing to special, so I decided to take a visit out to see if they were correct. (A separate review for the Sai Wan one will be posted soon!) But I can definitely vouch for Ho Choi in Kwun Tong to be one of my favorite places! The tables in the main area - that is, not in a "room" - are up for grabs, first come first serve. Get there before 12:10pm to beat the lunch crowd, or risk waiting for a while. The best thing, if you want to skip the wait, is to make a reservation for one of the tables in the "rooms" for ordering main dishes (小菜). You must order 3 or more main dishes when seated at those tables. But of course, you can still order dim sum there. Win-win! Also, because it's sectioned off from the main area, it's much quieter and more conducive to business lunches. While the prices for dim sum and main dishes have gone up in recent years (inflation, rental increases, etc), rest assured you are still getting your money's worth of delicious food! They used to have different price tiers - cheaper in the morning, standard rates during weekday lunch times, and higher prices on the weekends - but upon checking the prices during my last visit, it looks like they are now fixed. For 5 people, with 4 main dishes, and 6 dim sum plates, the total came to be just under HKD 700. Excellent bang for your buck! The tea charge is $12 per person, which is fairly standard. Dim sum plates are tiered, starting at $17 for 'small', up to $32-$35 for 'specialty' plates. Ordering the dim sum is very easy, as you just need to fill in a Scantron-like sheet (college throw-back eh?), with dishes listed in English and Chinese. I was asked to order for the table: - Crispy chicken (half) 脆皮雞 (半) - so crispy, so good! - Sweet and sour pork 咕嚕肉 - my first time ordering the 咕嚕肉 here and everyone raved about it! The freshly prepared sweet and sour pork is a game-changer here and puts those found at a buffet to shame. - Sauteed broccoli with scallops - need those vegetables and seafood! - E-fu noodles with shrimp and egg whites - I appreciate the lack of salt and strong flavors in this noodle dish, as it helps to balance out the other salty and heavy dishes. Thankfully no MSG! Dim sum on point. I'm already hungry for more, even from writing this review. Top favorites here are the BBQ pork buns, chicken feet with black bean sauce (my absolute favorite!), Chiu Chow dumplings (潮州粉粿), and Jin Deui sesame balls (煎堆). If you still have space for dessert, go for it. If you don't, still go for it.

Lately a lot of chained Chinese restaurants have been very disappointing, but Ho Choi has not…read morefailed to keep up the standard with surprised me with a very reasonable price. 12 people we have ordered an Alaska king crab, a roasted goose, a steamed grouper, 2 veggie dish and a pork dish. The king crab was huge, cooked with Chinese yellow rice wine which was just perfect. We have ordered a noodle to mix with the wine sauce. The goose was tender and meaty. Most of us were satistfied and full after these 2 dish cos of the huge portion. Then the Grouper was super fresh. The bill, which was just HKD 28xx only. Service is okay, which was comparatively better then the other Chinese restaurants like Lee Garden at Kln Bay.

Wow, what a unique Hong Kong dim sum experience. I try to come here every time I'm in Hong Kong…read more There's a nearby famous tourist attraction, the rainbow estates for photographers. This is the most ghetto dim sum spot I've been. The food is great. I like the contrast where there are two Lamborghinis parked outside. The staff is friendly toward regulars and Hong Kongers. Not so much for foreigners. There aren't traditional dim sum carts. You fetch your own dim sum from the chef. The ordering system is, you tell the people working there how many people. They will seat you next to strangers. Then they will ask you what type of tea and give you silverware. You have to rinse your own bowls and cups in tea. Then you walk up to the dim sum chef and tell them what you want. You get a piece of paper from the cashier lady inside first. If you order too much, you have to come back as the steamers are pretty hot. I saw two Korean tourists got yelled at ask they didn't know how the system worked. My recommendations are pork dim sum, shrimp rolls and egg rolls. Sadly, 新龍城茶樓 will close soon. Ngau Chi Wan Village is under redevelopment and the restaurant will close as a result of that. They've been here since 1959.

I love coming here during lunch time. They have set menus for a good price. For dinner, it's a little more on the pricier side, but it's worth it. And I do suggest having more than 3 people because you can taste more dishes that way. Gotta have it family style, ya'know? During dinner time, they automatically provide a cup of tea, which basically houses 8 items, hence the name "eight treasures". but keep in mind it is not free... As for the food in general, it is delicious. I feel as if I don't have to worry about eating unhealthily because majority of the items here have this Herb-y vibe. (Get it?! Ur-ban. Ok fine.) The downside... no menu items are in English, but they have pictures! If not... you can go on Yelp or Open Rice and see the Food items people picked and show it to the waiter... I would suggest having someone who can understand Cantonese or can at least read the basic Chinese characters to make life easier.

The restaurant is located upstairs in Camel Paint Building Block 3, these exact CHINESE words are on the building (on your right). Look for the word 三 (which is 3) You won't miss it!! You can wait for the elevator (which always has a lineup) OR WALK UP THE STAIRS -just 1 floor. It gets very full during dinner times, be sure to call in advance. The size of restaurant is: 1x large round table 1x small round table 1x rectangle table for 4 3x rectangle tables for 6 2x rectangle tables for 2 The rectangle tables for 6 is basically made of 3 tables, so we shared the space with others. A lot of couples visit this restaurant. The menu!! It's in full Chinese. On the wall and in the book. There are some photos but if I came alone, I'll be ok. I just need to ask the staff to read it for me. If that's ok to you, it's ok with me! Dinner starts off with a classic Chinese tea "8 treasures" which is not free by the way, it's already sitting on the table waiting for you. Dried chrysanthemum flowers, goji berries, dried red dates, dried longan, some fruit. I forgot I think it's $16?? I find the food very simple. They taste exactly like an ideal grandmother's home-cooked food. They don't add a lot of fake flavourings to enhance the dish and that's why I really like the food!! #15 宮廷香辣雞 $98 - fried chicken, spicy on a scale of 6/10 - not dry at all!!! flavourful #30 濃湯勝瓜浸魚滑 $78 - 勝瓜 is some kind of vegetable melon, like winter melon but it's less sweet and the skin is not soft - This is served in soup in a flat bowl - also 魚滑 is like mixture of fish like fishball, but it isn't a sphere. - I hope this all makes sense. - This dish is light (because of the soup), very sweet and simple. NOT heavy with salt/sugar/whatever HK people like to season with. - But I think there isn't enough 魚滑!!!! #28 蟹肉扒西蘭花 $88 - admittedly my photo looks gross with that white liquid stuff, but it's CRAB meat! - and broccoli! - I'm not sure if it's real crab meat or if it's egg whites! - This is a classic Chinese dish, one of my favourites!! It often tastes really salty at many restaurants, EXCEPT HERE!!!! Here they cook it light and simple. Service is good! There is always someone at the door so you won't ever loudly wave a staff down when you enter. Also it's very clean and beautiful here.

Came here several times for getting dim sum during lunch hour…read more Chung's Cuisine/Kitchen is one of the brands under Tao Heung Group (稻香集團). And, Chung's Cuisine is currently having 3 branches. Pan-fried Red Cargo Rice-roll w/ Shrimp (脆網紅米腸) is their signature dim sum. It's bouncy shrimps wrapped with a deep-fried, crunch layer and a slice of silly red sheet. This combination of different textures is interesting. If you're bored of having traditional Shrimp Rice Roll (蝦腸), this will be a good alternative! Location wise, it'll be quite inconvenient for patrons who come by MTR. It's an about 20 minute walking distance from Kowloon Bay MTR Station to the restaurant. To avoid the walk, you can take free shuttles that run between Telford Mall and MegaBox Mall. MegaBox Mall is right opposite to Chung's Cuisine where you can check it out before/after the meal.
