This is one of the places I have to visit during my stay in Hong Kong for breakfast, snack time, and/or dinner. One of the dimsum you must try is the Rice Roll with Crispy Shrimp. The rice roll is thin and the crispy shrimp added a nice contrast. Also, try the Radish Cakes serve with chili sauce and Chicken Feet. The opening hours for this place are from 730AM-11PM. Also, 5HKD is automatically added to your bill in lieu of service charge. This is for the hot tea they serve...which you cannot refuse.

The sets are crazy affordable, all under $100 HKD, so you can stuff yourself without breaking the bank. I went for the instant noodle soup with satay beef - so comforting and flavorful, perfect Hong Kong style. But the stars were the baked BBQ pork buns (char siu version of bolo bao) - crispy topping, fluffy bun, juicy filling, absolutely amazing! And don't sleep on the cocktail coconut buns, those shredded coconut ones are addictive.

Mak's Noodle is very good. One of my goals of visiting HK was to eat a good bowl of wonton noodles…read more Although Mak's isn't the best, they did satisfy. I prefer non-chain, smaller establishments with local favor. This branch is located inside the Harbour City mall on the Kowloon side. We had their vegetables w/oyster sauce $47 ($6 USD), wonton noodles $53 ($6.79 USD) and beef brisket with tendons $130 ($16 USD.) Everything tasted great. Service was excellent. The restaurant was full with a short five minute wait at noon on a weekday.

If you're ever in Hong Kong, don't hesitate to stop by this small, family run noodle shop with its clean interior, friendly staff, and reasonable prices!

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. :)

We still like the TST branch much better. Quality and service. This is a spot when you don't know what to eat... and it happens to be here.

Very standard... somehow, the TST branch makes the XLB with more soup... who knows.. again, if you've been to one DTF, you know what you're getting.

The walk-in line is always short and the pricing is "relatively" more affordable. The menus of HK and NYC DTF are more or less the same. Read on for the comprehenaive review of all my favorites: ＊Steamed Pork Soup Dumpling 小籠包 After all these years, DTF's xiao long bao still has a special place in my heart -- thin wrapper and juicy meat fillings. The temperature and dumpling size are just perfect. ＊Spicy Pork & Veggie Wonton 菜肉紅油抄手 ＊Fried Pork Chop Egg Fried Rice 炸豬排蛋炒飯 My second top recs are the spicy pork & veggie wontons + fried rice combo. My taiwanese friend taught me to drizzle some spicy sauce over the fried rice -- chef's kiss. The scallion egg fried rice is flavorful and the pork chop is grilled to perfect tenderness. ＊Spring Onion & Soy Sauce Dry Noodle 蔥油拌面 If you are more into noodles, you should definitely get their scallion mixed dry noodle. It is bursting with flavor and I saw many tables ordered the same dish. ＊Braised Wheat Gluten 上海烤麩 ＊Braised Beef Soup 紅燒牛肉湯 Our go-to sides to enjoy with the dumplings and mains. ＊Steamed Taro Paste Dumpling 荔芋小籠包 ＊Steamed Mini Black Sesame Bun 迷你黑芝麻包 For dessert, it is interesting to try the taro paste xiaolongbao. It is not too sweet and the taro filling is smooth. The mini black sesame bun is packed with nutty and earthy flavor.

If I didn't feel like going out after a long day of being touristy/family, I would visit here. I generally went for the beef brisket wonton noodle soup. The broth was a little heavy on the 5-spice and I would've been fine with a cleaner broth. However, the noodles, brisket, and wontons were on-point. The brisket was tender and flavorful, and the wontons were delicate and filled with shrimp. The noodles were toothsome and weren't too soft. The set meals are a pretty good value as you can choose from a variety of entrees (noodles, rice porridge, etc.), a side dish/dessert (like vegetables, fried wontons, dessert soup), and a drink (hot soy, hot teas, etc.). I didn't go for the fried wontons but the fried fish balls were quite good. They were very hot but soft with a slightly crispy exterior. There wasn't a fishy taste to it, so it seemed more fresh. The choy sum was okay, though the broth it sat in was a seafood-based broth which wasn't really my style. Service was decent though like most places in HK, you have to flag down someone and don't expect someone to come to you. This spot was good (and clean) enough for me to not have to visit my former wonton spot, Mak Man Kee. I mean, Chee Kei was good enough where I didn't feel compelled to endure a cramp place with small portions and poor service. I just don't have to deal with that anymore.

Walked around Langham Place and chanced upon this place…read more This store has a good amount of seating spaces but the pathways might be narrow. My friend and I were seated pretty swiftly. Decided to get their wanton noodles, ice lemon tea and cold sea cucumber dessert while my friend had her congee/porridge. The wanton noodles were lacking of taste probably because I didn't add the condiments on the side. Generous serving of the wanton. The congee is a better option here. It has stronger chicken broth which makes you to crave for more bites after the first. The dessert was not as sweet as I would like it to be. Price wise was decent even though it is situated in a higher class shopping mall. They might provide voucher for next visits.

That's good enough visual for me to wander into this restaurant specializing in jook (congee). The beef jook was very tasty and filling. The beef chunks were thin and tender, and the jook consistency was smooth and thick. It's not the ideal breakfast for a warm and humid October morning, but the fresh cold soy milk was mildly sweet and refreshing to help balance the temperature. On the side, I had the rice noodle-wrapped fried doughnut. Drizzled with a bit of soy sauce, it was a little on the salty side. However, the rice noodle had good texture (not too sticky or chewy) and the fried doughnut was chewy on the inside and crispy on the outside. Overall everything tasted very fresh and delicious! This shop may be small, but service was quick and friendly. Despite a line, you'll be seated within a few minutes. This is a great place in Mong Kok for a satisfying meal for under $40 HKD.

The jook here is awesome!…read more While I was visiting Hong Kong one of my travel companions really wanted to find a place with good jook with no MSG. My local friend brought me here while we were in the Mongkok area and this is just a little mom and pop shop on the street. I had the sliced pork jook and it was really nice on the palate, not overly salty as some places would make it. The taste of the pork was clean and flavorful and came through instead of being hidden by white pepper and salt. The fried donut wrapped in rice noodle was among one of the best that I've ever had. The donut was lightly crispy with a chewy center. The rice noodle was warm and embraced the donut. The sweet soy sauce soaked in nicely and made every bite super tasty and savory.

At first, I thought I was having an allergic reaction... then I realized it was the chicken! I had to order coconut juice ASAP. Overall, the chicken was very delicious - tender and juicy. The congee was thick and creamy, and the pork liver and fish belly were cooked to perfection. The shrimp wontons were also amazing! The service was great, and the space is very clean, well-decorated, and spacious.
