Located at Time Square; Hong Kong's busy retail and foodie mecca, Lei Garden has been a offering…read moreCantonese Cuisine for over a decade. Food here can be described as traditional Cantonese with an added flare of updated interpretations, there are a few dishes the restaurant are famous for e.g. Crispy Skinned Chicken marinated in Supreme Soy Sauce, Seasonal Double Boiled Soup, Roast Pork Belly with Cracklings etc. On this latest occasion, I tried a few more common dishes, and what stands out the most are: Beef Brisket, Tendon & Potatoes in Curry Sauce, Braised Goose Web with Shiitake Mushrooms & Tofu Skin. Love the curry sauce as it goes perfectly with plain steamed rice, even the potatoes were done well in absorbing the curry. If you like Morning Glory, they do a very good job with the seasoning and I usually request the Chef to add extra Thai Chilli to kick it up a few notches! Service has always been attentive, but I also noticed the high turn over rate as the familiar faces from the last few years are not to be found, parking can be redeemed, just notify the server at end of your meal!

Hong Kong is the best place in the World to splurge on dim sum, as the top prices that you are…read morepaying will usually reward you with unparalleled quality and sophistication that cannot be found outside of Asia (well, maybe except in Toronto or Vancouver.) Depending on what you order, be prepared to spend the equivalent of about USD30 or more per person. What sets Lei Garden apart from the rest of all the dim sum restaurants is not just the deliciousness of their food, but their refinedness and creativity. Shredded Yam Egg Rolls: That's exactly where their creativity and sophistication come in. The filling tasted like a puree of yam mixed with minced pork and was almost heavenly. These are hands down the best egg rolls that I've ever had! Honey BBQ Spare Ribs: This is one of their specialties and I highly recommend that you order this dish. The meat was so tender that they fell off the bones. The honey BBQ flavor was so delicious that I needed to borrow a phrase from KFC that "it's finger licking good!" (Yes, forget about the chopsticks and eat with your fingers!) Fried Chicken Wings: The skin was perfectly crispy and the inside was moist and juicy. This is another dish that requires you to eat with your fingers and lick them to completely enjoy the experience. Har Gow: Thin, translucent, and slightly chewy skins were graced with a shrimp filling that was bouncy in texture and rich in natural flavor. Bean Curb Rolls in Broth: The fish broth was richly flavored, and not only did it make the bean curb rolls more enjoyable, it was so tasty that we finished every drop of the broth, treating it just like a soup dish. Rice Wrapped in Lotus Leaf: Tasty and not overly oily (Yes!) fried rice was generously mixed with Chinese sausage, minced pork, salty egg yolk, among many other goodies. It was wrapped in a lotus leaf and steamed to perfection that the aroma of lotus filled the air and stimulated the palate. This is another one of their specialties that I highly recommend. Siu Mai: They were tiny but were packed with a concentrated richness that was enhanced by the flavors of black mushrooms. Small, bite size, refined, and delicate - They were exactly what dim sum should be like! Beef Balls: Quality speaks here. There was not even a hint of soda powder or tenderizer. Again, the serving size was tiny but the flavor was supreme. And that perfectly matches the city where the value of food is generally not measured by its size, but by its quality.

It's also pretty filling. One bowl per person is more than enough.

If you are looking for quick but delicious CONGEE and wonton mein this is the spot! The congee was different than in NY so silky and flavorful and the fish filet was thin so you tasted it in every bite, there was sooo much fish in there i was surprised. I didn't like the wonton mein as much because i don't like egg noodles but my bf liked it and it came with a good amount of beef which was tender. We also tried the oyster ball as an appetizer since they ran out of you tiao both times we went which i was definitely disappointed about. May need to check what is available when, i think when we first went the wonton mein wasn't available until 11am and the congee was no longer available at that time but i cannot remember just keep it in mind. Absolute gem of central only had a week here and went 2x! Super nice staff even though i can't speak chinese so my bf did or we had to point lol too but bring your own napkins.

Dim sum dishes were standard (w exception to the black sesame roll which was served warm...so good and pronounced sesame flavor that brought back childhood memories as most tea houses in the U.S. don't serve this anymore) but the à la carte items were the factors that made me give it a 4 star rating. Crispy beef ribs we never had this way before. The crunchy flaky exterior gave it an interesting texture but it had good beefy taste...could have been a tad more tender. The pan fried cod w/ corn sauce was excellent. The soy pan fried cod also delicious. Their roasted suckling pig though was definitely the star!

We were in the Mong Kong area, I did a Google search and this place came up as being the closest to us. On Google it rated a solid 4 stars. It was around 2:00 on a Monday afternoon, when we got there we were immediately seated. Staff was welcoming. They had numerous menus showing all kinds of dishes and specials most of which were in Chinese. Using Google Translate helped. They did have a couple of menus with English translation too. We ordered claypot rice dishes since that was what we were craving. They had quite a few choices. I ordered the Grilled Eel claypot rice and my wife ordered the Abalone claypot rice. After a little wait our orders came out. They were served steaming hot. My order came with a bonus "fan jiu" or scorched rice on the side. They were delicious and my wife and I agreed most satisfying. The few aunties that waited on us spoke little to no English, but were friendly enough. They were patient and we were able to convey what we wanted to order. Since it wasn't busy we were able to take our time eating and rest a little after walking around all morning. Of course we also got milk tea to go with our meals. I will comeback the next time I'm back in HK.

It seems to be pretty popular with the locals - there were a few DLLM's floating around, so you already know. The scallops were perfectly cooked, smothered with a good amount of garlic, and the vermicelli soaked up the soy & garlicky oily goodness. We were told that clay pot rice is also a crowd favorite here, but we unfortunately didn't have the stomach space for it. Scallops were $120 HKD for 4, and all were pretty sizeable.

There are other dim sum places in TST that offer more varieties with better deals, but if you are looking for a quiet hotel restaurant for lunch gathering or dinner gathering or business lunch with good food quality, this is the place to go.

Most everyone knows them as their far less interesting and awkward (#1) name, "Tasty Congee and Noodle Wantan Shop." For a good decade and then some, this place was complete chaos: long lines, service mishaps, and inconsistent food. SInce the self order kiosks were introduced years and the recent expansion of the East Hall seating, thus resulting in a much more organized experience. Wonton noodles have always been one of their best options. It's been a morning / lunch staple and a sure thing for first timers. Their congee has been excellent a majority of the time, along with somes solid stir fried options from noodles to shrimp and egg. They also have beef brisket, Where they suffer a bit is with the Chinese BBQ (siu mei), in which it's lacking severely, which doesn't fare well given its the priciest item. If one is desperate for goose and bbq pork, this may work in a pinch. Don't bother with the Hainanese chicken. Trust me. Like all things at the airport, it's a bit overpriced. The kiosks accept all major forms of payment and is far more English friendly than ever.

We grabbed a quick meal before boarding and ordered the essentials: the BBQ Pork (Char Siu) and the Wonton Noodles. * The Food: Absolutely heavenly. The BBQ pork was so incredibly tender and flavorful--probably some of the best I've had. The wontons were perfect comfort food. * The Process: Super efficient ordering system, which is great when you're watching the clock for a flight. You just order on the kiosk, wait for your number to pop up on the screen, grab your tray and condiments, and you're good to go. * The Vibe: The service was very friendly even though it's quick-service style. It's located in a huge airport eating area, so we had zero issues finding a table to sit down and relax. Definitely the best way to say goodbye to Hong Kong. Highly recommend!
