I thought it'd be really tourist-y since it's on the main stretch and one of the first places you pass by, but noticed that a lot of locals were already eating here (compared to other places) before 11 AM. They offered dim sum while we were there and the dishes were really good. I also enjoyed the steamed fish with black bean for our main course. They have an English menu and the servers speak enough English to get by. One was even nice enough to bring in another server who spoke better English to explain the market price of one of the fish, a move that put me at ease knowing they weren't ripping off us useless non-Canto speakers. :)

If you can't rough it, can't speak Cantonese, or don't read Chinese, you might have a problem here…read more It is also not easily accessible by any public transportation, so you'll have to take the MTR out to the New Territories, then catch a cab to the spot. The restaurant is a "dai pai dong" style eatery. There is outside and inside seating, but it's not comfortable. You'll be sitting in a crowded atmosphere, often on stools, and things will be discombobulated. However, if you can get past this, you'll enjoy some delicious Chiu Chow food. I am a huge fan of Chiu Chow cuisine, especially since we don't get it in the US. Whenever I'm in HK, I make sure that I get my fill of it. At "Sang Cheong" -- direct translation of the Chinese name 生昌, you'll get authentic and traditional Chiu Chow dishes. My favorite is usually the crab and prawn balls which are fried to perfection and served with a sweet dipping sauce. Check out the mullet which is served at room temperature with a pungent bean paste dipping sauce. On the night of our visit, they had a soup laden with pickled sour mustard greens, pig intestines, pig ears and pork. There is an abundance of white pepper to kill the gamey taste from the innards. I don't mind the soup, but I can't eat the intestines. Fried Bombay Duck is a type of fish which has the texture of tofu. The flesh is soft and I absolutely love it. The Chinese name for this fish is "nine stomach fish" 九肚魚 and it is the first time I've ever eaten it. I'm hooked!! It is prepared salt & pepper style. Delicious! Roast Goose is the most typical of Chiu Chow dishes and the one here is decent. Dip into the vinegar! Food is good, and it's a great local experience!

Wow, if it weren't for the sign in the front -- nothing about this place (small restaurant, sticky…read moretables, lack of air conditioning, etc.) would really indicate that this is one of the best places around to go for Chiu Chow cuisine, especially deliciously prepared seafood (even better than most dishes you'll find at fancier banquet restaurants). This is all for unbelievably reasonable prices for the portion size and quality you're getting. The non-seafood dishes are also prepared deliciously as well, but definitely try all the different types of fish, shrimp, scallops, jellyfish, and other highly recommended items (from their advertisement in the front) first.

The fresh, quality ingredients is the draw here. Its placement says there's no MGS, and they make dumplings in house. There is a wide variety of ingredients to choose from, it's hard not to order too much. They are famous for their fresh, relatively thick cut slices of beef. My only complain is that they don't offer a lot of options for sauce mixing. Just fried garlic, scallions, chili pepper and soy sauce. A bit disappointing for someone who enjoys mixing their own sauce for hot pot.

Noodles such as egg noodles, thick egg noodles, flat rice noodles and rice vermicelli. For the daring foodie enthusiast, they also have other beefs items such as beef tendon, intestines and stomach. For some that are not acquired to these type of food, you gotta try it if you wanna be one of the "local" people. Beware, there is a lot of MSG in the soup broth, but then again, not many noodles places in Hong Kong that does not put MSG in there soup broth.

Reservations are highly recommended as this place gets busy, especially during the weekend. There was actually some mixed up with our reservations but luckily, we came on a weekday when the restaurant is not as busy. There are a ton of choices from the soup base to the hot pot ingredients. Pick whatever you like but make sure you order some beef and fried bamboo (one of my friend named it the "jingle bells" - how fitting!). They are excellent here. Apparently, I only realized then that not all my friends liked lunch meat in their hot pot... If Shing Kee is a little close to where I live, I probably come here a lot more often.

Easy ordering system, mark how many you want, 桌号，table number, and 人数, number of people. The menu is also in English and they have pictures, couldn't be easier enough. Everything is by 1 piece, except some stir fried or tepanyaki items. So if you want 5 pieces of salmon sashimi, you mark 5, 5 wings, mark 5. It's best to start off light and slow, so you know what's good and can order again. There's a time limit, I think about 2 hours. Everything we ordered was delicious. We liked the uni handrolls, the chicken wings always come out super hot. And the lamb was the best, but it takes awhile. The sashimis all tasted fresh, you can't go wrong w salmon or yellowtail. Be sure to save room for dessert, because they have so much to choose from. My favorite was the frozen yogurt and the Mochi ice creams. The egg custards were also really good.

The daytime is usually filled with lines of folks looking to score any of their various street foods, which sometimes includes yours truly. Somehow the exterior has gotten worse over time. While it's as recognizable as any place, there were days where the restaurant looked much nicer. If one looks past beyond the lines, there is indoor seating available. It is every bit as tight as other HK eateries, with folks often sharing tables and not particularly a good fit for large groups. The place is clean and interestingly has a lot of portraits of pets. Most folks are gunning for their curry fishballs and cheung fun rice rolls, which can be directly accessed from their street side window. The fish balls have good texture and that spongy exterior is good with the pseudo spicy curry sauce. I love the rice rolls with a little peanut butter sauce and sesame, which is semi-addicting. There is also their siu mai, which seems on par with many of the food stalls, but is better with a bit of sweet soy and chili oil. Washing it all down with their cold and sweet soya milk (凍豆漿) is highly recommended. Since they're constantly crowded, the service works very quickly. I don't recall them accepting credit cards, but I have always paid in cash or with an octopus card. Compared to their Mong Kok location near the Flower Market, I would still choose this one in YMT.

Every time I walk by, I see people buying from the little take out window. They also have tables inside for normal dining. I've only gotten food to go. I enjoy the food here and I'd recommend giving it a try if you're in the area. SERVICE: At the take out window, you just tell them what you want and they prepare it in front of you and you just pay them right there. I usually pay in cash but I think they also take octopus card. I forgot to ask if they have English menus but at first glance, all visible signs are only in Chinese.
