This restaurant on Tung Choi Street seemed pretty promising with the displays of their menu…read moreadvertising the many different specialty noodle soups that they had. After eating so much street food, vendor food, and night market food, we all agreed that a place with more "pure" ingredients would be better for lunch. There really are a ton of selections offered from their menu. You can have rice or noodle soup, your soup can be dry or in a broth, you can have different types of seafood balls, chicken wings, beef brisket, you can choose the type of noodle you want, etc. The possibilities are endless. Prices are also fairly cheap. A bowl of soup is around $28 HKD which is about $4 USD. I think that's a steal! I ordered the beef ball noodle soup with thicker rice noodles. The broth was really clear, and the overall dish was what I needed to combat my unhealthy meals from the days before. There were 5 beef balls in the soup and a ton of cilantro thrown on top, which I loved. Noodles were cooked on point - slightly chewy. Beef balls had that resilient bite to them - overall a really solid dish. My mom ordered her pork knuckle soup with thicker rice noodles and was disappointed that the soup was tomato based. Apparently many restaurants in HK like using tomato based soups/sauces when cooking with pork knuckle, something I am not accustomed to. Overall the dish wasn't bad, but my mom wasn't a fan of the soup because of the tomato taste and the amount of oil in it. The pork knuckle also was cooked in tomato broth, so it definitely didn't have the taste she was looking for. A pass on this dish. The soup noodle with fish ball - very similar to the beef ball soup, except that instead of beef balls, the dish had different types of fish balls. Soup was exactly the same as mine. If you're not a fan of beef balls and more into the seafood combination, I'd recommend this dish since you get to try more of a variety of toppings. Chicken wings with rice - this dish required a few extra minutes to cook since they actually cook the wings right then and there upon ordering. I thought it tasted pretty good. The dish had 3-4 chicken wings on it along with an egg. There was a good amount of rice as well as soy sauce drizzled on top of the rice, giving it enough flavor to eat if you happened to finish all of the wings. My sister thought the wings were really good - slightly crispy, but still juicy on the inside. And we ordered steamed vegetables, just to maintain our healthy lunch meal. The vegetables were not special, but tasted fine. Because the dishes didn't have any vegetables in them, it was a really smart idea that we got this on the side. Restaurant itself is fairly big with a ton of tables and booths inside. You pretty much seat yourself and the waitress will take your order when you're ready. And when you're finished, you pay at the front. Since the food comes out pretty fast, I don't expect that you'll have to wait since people seem to come in and out in under 30 minutes. tl;dr - Decent place for healthy food. A must if you love noodles and fish balls!

The food is pretty safe and the staff is very helpful. We liked the shrimp noodle bowl the best. We also got pork dumplings but they didn't have as much flavor as the shrimp. We also got a fried noodle. You will want to ask for silverware, otherwise you use chopsticks in a drawer under the table. They serve hot water. We got a coffee, and it smelled good, but isn't what you'd think about traditional coffee. It automatically comes with creamer. The food comes out super quick! Our lunch for 3 was $131 HKD, about $20 USD.

My personal favorite was their regular char siu, which was what I got during visit #1 alongside soy sauce chicken.

Food is pretty average as usual, so far I've tried their baked spaghetti bolognaise, which admittedly had a nice meaty sauce, but the pasta was cooked way past the point of al dente. I also had their baked pork chop rice served in a tomato sauce, which is an ever popular Hong Kong style fusion dish that I on most occasions do enjoy: they did a reasonably good job of it here too, rice wasn't mushy, and seemed to have been prepared as an egg fried rice beforehand, the pork chop was reasonably juicy and tender, and they also provided enough sauce for flavour, but not so much that the whole dish was drowning in it. I'd swing by looking for a cheap meal anyway, but unless you're looking to be disappointed, do not come with western expectations when you order a Western-styled dish.

We ordered a double pork chop rice (double portion of pork), the chicken cashew dish, and cucumber with garlic (青瓜) (a must in Shanghainese cuisine). The dishes were served quickly, within 5-10 minutes. Our favorite was the chicken cashew dish, which was stir-fried chicken with mushrooms and cashews. The cucumber in garlic was solid and refreshing. Unfortunately, the famed pork chop dish was a let down for me. The rice with Bok choi, excellent. But the pork chop, honey glazed or whatever, did NOT meet my expectations of a crispy top layer and soft tender inner pork layer. The honey glaze was a bit tough to chew through at times and I felt I was eating more batter than pork. I'd return to try the other dishes like dan dan mian and the dumplings! But if I was craving pork chop rice, I'd probably go elsewhere.

They have the menu available in English so that was cool. I ordered the doggies noodles (fried pork fat noodles, pork skin and green onions) they were good! The duck soup (they claim they put 4 ducks to roast for hours to get that flavor) and actually has a fin soup texture without the actual fin. That was my favorite. And also we ordered the Chinese balls. Those took a few more minutes and the order is 4 of them: two fish and two pork. I liked those too. Of course there are no tables but our server arranged a few stool benches and made it comfy for us. There is a (kind of) AC outside that blows not-that-hot-air so we sat right in front of it so we could drink that soup at noon without melting lol The flavors were really good and I did enjoyed my meal. For $94 HKD (for two) it was a great experience. Our server was the sweetest of the ladies, we couldn't speak each other' language but we said enough to thank her. I recommend!

Basically everyone famous had came here before so it must be good right? DAMN RIGHT IT IS! This was actually my first time trying Hong Kong style street food so my review might be biased, but everything was amazing and literally the cheapest Michelin guide restaurant you can ever find. There is a minimum of $30 HKD Per person but that's nothing, it's like less than $5 USD. Every dish is actually within that ballpark pricing as well. What we ordered: Siumai (5/5): Ok so I normally hate siu mai but it turns out it's cos I never tried fish siu mai before, and omg was this amazing!!! This is definitely one of the most memorable dishes from my trip in Hk Curry fish ball (4/5): this curry is not for the faint hearted cos it's spicy af. Super amazing but it was too spicy for weak lil me Fish skin dumpling (5/5): first time having this as well and it's soooo good! The skin around the dumpling had amazing texture. Apparently it's made from flour and fish skin but don't take my word for it Doggie style noodles (4/5): this is their signature dish and personally I was bit underwhelmed by it. Apparently not many people make this anymore so maybe that's why the restaurant is famous for it. Flavors are simple, the noodles look hand made to me, broth had mushrooms and pickled veggies. Still very good though! Not much to say about ambiance and service, it's a little shack but the food is bomb af so as long as it's clean enough for me to feel comfortable in, I ain't docking any stars :) Disclaimer, like I said this is my first time having Hong Kong style street food, but people who were there with me (locals) did tell me although this restaurant was good, they know other places that serve better siu mai, fish fishballs, and fish skin dumplings.

Char Siu and Roast Duck: The barbecued pork is incredible. It's a little smoky and sweet with a nice pink smoke ring. The sticky edges are super crispy from the caramelization and a slight char. You can hear a tiny crunch with each bite. As for the meat, it is more tender than any BBQ or a succulent cut of the finest pastrami. Roast duck is the ultimate pairing for char siu because of its crisp skin and depth of flavors from the five spice, soy, hoisin sauce, oyster sauce, garlic, and ginger.
