The food also all sucked. We ordered fish that they told us was Chilean sea bass that was not and looked nothing like the picture. The soup dumplings and pan fried buns were flavorless and tiny for the price. The stir fried vegetables came in alfredo sauce and was inedible, we didn't even eat it. Only thing okay was duck. Nobody should ever come to this restaurant it is a scam and sucked. Place should be closed down.

Empire City Roasted Duck gave us splendid service and took care of us so much that I was a little in shock with how much I love and want to go back here when I'm in Hong Kong. I know that seems so weird to be eating duck in Hong Kong but I mean I eat duck in California here so why not in Hong Kong too! We waited a few minutes before the store opened for dinner, and there was already about 15 people outside also waiting for them to open. Once we told the from person that it was for three people and we didn't make a reservation they still sat us down quite quickly. The duck and food here is so good and at the time they were having a Chinese New Year special so we ordered that. The duck soup is so tasty and so is the duck. Overall it was a super duper great experience and I want to come back for sure. Tip- Call in and make a reservation if it's for a weekend because they actually will be full of people. I came on a weekday and it was pretty busy so I can imagine that the weekend is packed.

Our server was a charismatic older gentleman who was able to give us recommendations. I felt like I was in those old-timey, classic-style Hong Kong diners. Thinking back to this restaurant is making me emotional for some reason. I have nostalgia for a place that I won't be able to go back to for a while. I always am a fiend for goose on rice because of how difficult it is to find outside of Hong Kong, especially in the U.S. I also ordered an almond drink because of my sweet tooth and need for warm beverages that are also hard to find outside of Hong Kong.

It looked more like a take out kind of place but we saw tables in the back and started to enter the shop, but the floor was so greasy, we were seriously thinking about making a 180° and skip this place. I don't know if it was the look on our faces or that we were a bit better dressed then the uncles in their white tanks with legs propped up on stools or what, but the kind lady proprietor suggested we eat at their "nicer atmosphere" dining room a few doors down. The dining room greeted us with nice A/C and floors our shoes had better grip on. The food is ordered here and they will prepare the soup, noodles, drinks, etc. but all the siu mei still comes over from the other shop. The roasted meats we're tender and tasty, no lie. I'd say even skip all those starchy fillers and go straight for the roasted proteins. The portions here are very generous and we felt a little guilty leaving some pieces uneaten. Hong Kong definitely has no shortage of siu me shops and I'm glad the tasties they offer remain classic and unchanged. Looking forward to finding new gems.

The thing about Hong Kong restaurants is that you really need to know what to order. We ordered the…read moreroast goose here, and it was excellent. I also got a hot tea that was incredibly bitter. I couldn't even finish it. This restaurant is always busy. We debated whether to eat here or at another nearby restaurant that was practically empty, but we made the right choice. During our short stay, we came here twice for dinner and once for breakfast. That said, knowing what to order makes all the difference. The table next to us at breakfast ordered a dish that looked amazing, but I couldn't find it anywhere on the menu. Maybe it was a secret menu item, or perhaps you have to be a local to know about it. One thing to note: Yelp isn't always the most reliable source for Hong Kong restaurants since many listings and reviews can be quite dated. Google Reviews tends to be more accurate, but it's still worth double-checking because restaurants frequently change ownership, relocate, or close. Thanks to Jando (former HK CM) for adding this spot to the Yelp map. I came across it there and immediately recognized it! Of course, always carry cash. This place accepts WeChat as payment.

As one of the better locations of the famous "Yung Gor" roast goose establishments, this Wan Chai…read morelocation turned out to be one of my most stellar meals during my recent trip to Hong Kong. The English name, Yung's Tangerine Peel Roast Goose Restaurant, might seem strange to most, but it is a literal translation of the Chinese name: 榕哥陳皮燒鵝. My experience was like many others: a packed house full of hungry locals shooting for an excellent rendition of traditional Cantonese roasted meats. Located on Lockhart Rd, this Yung Gor version is semi-large but fully packed during prime hours. Table sharing is highly likely in small groups, and the service works quickly to get orders started. The menu is in both Chinese and English and features a nice selection of meal sets to take the guesswork out of ordering. The prices at 50-68HKD seems reasonable but for folks fixated on the traditional bbq will pay anywhere from $55-180 depending on the order. I chose a 3 meat platter consisting of roasted siu yuk pork, char siu bbq pork, and roasted goose (燒肉叉燒燒鵝). The roasted goose was as excellent as advertised, juicy and tender all throughout. The char siu bbq pork was sweet enough to be a star on its own but the siu yuk roasted pork belly stole the show. The crispy skin was some of the best I've ever had. It was wonderfully fatty and went so well with the accompanying mustard condiment. I washed it all down with a iced lemon tea but couldn't help but think about the amazing platter I had. While I've heard excellent things about their Yau Ma Tei location, I am convinced Wan Chai really is worthy of a goose chase throughout the neighborhood. I am already plotting my next trip back and will absolutely include this place as a part of my must-eat rotation.

Wah wah wah! Another hidden gem!…read more The food here is so good and there's quite a few unique dishes!! Seafood is very fresh and tasty. The deep fried tofu is bomb! Super silky and smooth, without a chewy skin. The salted egg yolk shrimps are coated evenly and the shells are edible! The mantis prawns are very juicy and fresh. I also loved the clams soup and the pork chops! Must haves: salted egg yolk shrimps, deep fried tofu, and mantis prawns. Prices are also very fair. Probably even cheaper than many other places that aren't as good! I saw a few michelin signs on the walls, but I'm not sure if it's referring to them or the alcohol they're promoting. But I do think their food is good enough to be Michelin!! It is quite a busy place so be sure to book a reservation!

Also known as "Hing Gung" (慶功), it literally means to celebrate and to reward the hard work the crew put into the show. Much like sik siu, since the eaters are of high exertion, the food would most naturally be as trashy as can be~ Healthy eaters might want to hit the return button now as the foods may be despicably fattening. Deep fried is almost the golden rule for every trashy food, even in Hong Kong; the famous shrimp toast is actually minced shrimp smeared on a piece of bread and deep fried to crunchy perfection; and you got it, the piece of bread is soaked with grease. To make it even more damaging, mayonnaise is served on the side for you to dip the toast in. Damaging as it seems, but it is also very gratifying and is often the dish that is cleared the soonest. Hing Gung is often an event of the nights and there aren't a lot of joint cater to this batch of customers at this time of the day. I still remember walking into this shop with the waiter asking us to wait outside the shop at 11 in the evening, while they were trying hard to rearrange the tables to sit the 15 of us down.
