Located on Temple Street, this place is more touristy and they have tried to take advantage of it with retro photos in the menu and a load of more expensive dishes. I would go to the back of the menu & have the traditional 茶餐廳 items which are not expensive. The food is average.

Old-school HK-style cafe decor makes this a bit nostalgic for some, but really aged for others…read more Even though there are tables downstairs, only the upper floor was available. Since I already had lunch, I only came for some tea and a pineapple bun. I'm not really a huge fan of baked pork chop rice (their specialty) anyway. The milk tea was the right consistency and flavor. It's done right in a lot of places in HK to begin with, but they hold serve here. The pineapple bun was very good but nothing that would make it exceptionally better than a bunch of other spots around. It was warm and fresh. The bread was soft while the crispy sweet topping made a good contrast to that bun. However, as stated, you can find that in various locations around here. Like some reviews have stated, the prices seem rather high here for HK-style cafe fare. Service is the usual brusque that you'll get from a 茶餐廳. It's probably a little bit due to the nostalgic decor that might attract folks. Otherwise, you're not really getting an overwhelming experience here that would surpass many other spots in the area.

I ordered the pork liver and fish belly congee, shrimp wontons in chili oil, and the steamed chicken with rice. The steamed chicken was not what I expected - they use peppercorn sprigs, and BOY, I was shocked. It was my first time having it, and my entire mouth was tingling. 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.

Ordered Scotland razer clams, strawberry sweet and sour pork, egg white with scallop, stuffed sticky rice chicken wing, garlic live crab sticky rice, and vegetable. We love the razer calms, very fresh and steam to perfection. The chicken wing is also a must order item. Crispy skin and tender chicken meat filled with sticky rice. Crab is fresh, and the juice melts down in the rice. However, the egg white is not the sweet version. Personally we love the deep fried egg white more than the salty egg white. Overall wonderful taste on all the dishes!

The bathroom was also super weird, narrow and awkward and so dark that you can't see anything. Of the 2 stalls only one of them had toilet paper in a little roll that wasn't even properly attached to the toilet paper holder. The overall vibe is loud, "club-like," and kind of ratchet, there was a table quite far away from us but the customers were so clearly drunk and loud that the entire restaurant could hear them. We haven't even gotten to the food-- which was below average all around. We had pre-ordered the typhoon crab in advance and it was very expensive, was so over-seasoned, and the crab was not fresh at all. The bbq roast pork (char siu) was okay but incredibly oily and we couldn't finish it. The only passable entree was the fish, but even that was just a steamed fish and nothing to write home about. The service was okay, nothing spectacular but polite enough. The other nice thing was that we got these cute little mah jong desserts and I liked that the outside wall of the restaurant was decorated in mah jong pieces. But overall, this restaurant was my least favorite during our Hong Kong trip and it's just overhyped.

Ho Lee Fook is a Cantonese fusion Michelin starred restaurant in Central. The place looks nice,…read morebut a bit gaudy. The bathrooms are cramped and kind of awkward. Service is friendly and relatively efficient. But for this price point and the coveted Michelin star, I would expect more. The food quality is so-so. The chicken wings were tender but lacking in depth of flavor. Just salt and a ton of chili peppers. The char shu roasted pork was ok. It wasn't as greasy as others but it was also a bit dry. It was really no better than any other roasted pork we found at random restaurants all over HK. The crispy cheong fan noodles were a bit greasy but flavorful and different. Let's talk about pricing. We went on a Sunday night and we booked early so we did not have a minimum spend. But it seems any bookings now have an 800HKD/pp minimum. They slap a 10% service charge on everything and they basically require you to buy an 88HKD bottle of water. Sorry, they're just not that good.

Dishes listed and ranked by best to least: 1. Dim Sum Trio (Steamed Pork Dumpling with Lobster, Steamed Fresh Shrimp Dumpling with Bamboo Shoot, Steamed Fresh Shrimp Dumpling with Asparagus and Scallop): Classis dumpings cooked perfectly and made with high quality ingredients. It's a must order. 2. Deep-fried Fresh Crab Claw Stuffed with Minced Shrimp: Crispy, crunchy and big chunky shrimp inside. Also delicious! 3. Signature Barbecue Combination- Honey-glazed Barbecued Pork and Roasted Pork Belly: The classic dish of Hong Kong. Not quite as good as places like Mott 32 but very good. 4. Deep-fried Shrimp Toast with Salted Egg Yolk: it's a classic dish and done well. A single big shrimp is used instead of minced parts 5. Deep-fried Glutinous Dumplings with Pork, Shrimp and Carrot Juice: The insides were delicious but the dumpling was only warm and not as crisp as it should be. 6. Shanghai-style Pork Soup Dumplings: good but not special. 7. Simmered Seasonal Vegetables and Mushrooms in Fish Broth: also good but not special. Overall it was a great experience and we only tried a fraction of the menu. We'll be back for more!

One-Michelin-starred dim sum! Couldn't miss the opportunity to check it out during our visit to…read moreHong Kong. This is just sit-down, made-to-order dim sum, rather than traditional cart-style. They have a couple of set menus, although we just did a la carte so we could get exactly what we wanted. We had a large party so were able to split and try quite a few dishes luckily! I don't think anything really wowed me, but each dish was pretty consistently good and the overall cost at the end wasn't bad. To be honest, I'm not sure what makes it stand out so much to get a Michelin star, but I still think it's a great place for a large group meal if you're looking for something with a less casual vibe. This was definitely the most elevated ambiance out of all the dim sum I've had just based on the interior design and how spaced out the tables were. I don't think service was as attentive as a lot of other Michelin-starred restaurants, but I think that's just how dim sum is, and I'm honestly not a huge fan of the overly attentive service at a lot of nice restaurants anyways. Overall, amazing value for a one Michelin star dining experience. Good dim sum at decent prices, and suitable for large groups.

The one main regret my friend and I had was not ordering the Peking Duck in advance - apparently you need to give the restaurant 24 hour notice. As a substitute, we got the roasted baby duck, which was well cooked but definitely more tender in some sections. We also got the preserved egg jelly appetizer and the wok fried asparagus - both of which had surprising presentations but were pretty good. We also got the crispy suckling pig, which was delicious and crispy (albeit kind of small). It was a very classy dinner and definitely an interesting look into upscale Cantonese-style cuisine. Would recommend for big celebrations, particularly with groups of friends/family.

The barbecue roasted pork was juicy and tender. All the dim sum was top notch quality. My favorites were definitely the baked scallop tart and the truffle buns. The fried rice was also exceptional good. For dessert, I got the chilled taro pudding which was phenomenal as well. The only negative was that a very expensive meal.
