I wanted to come here because of Lucas Sim but sadly it did not live up to it. There are only 2…read moretables for dine in so you'll have to wait if you want to eat in. Most people take away. I heard that they only roast 3 times a day and that's when you can get the best cuts. Otherwise you get the mediocre cuts. I ate in and ordered the 3 meats - duck, suckling pig, cha siu. The cha siu was 80% fat and had a big tendon across it. The suckling pig had super thick meat and the skin was more towards the burnt side. The duck was dry. I also don't see them advertise for the special cha siu cuts like 一片天，三粒叉，第一刀 so maybe it's a secret menu for the people in the know.

This really unassuming roast meat shop is considered to have one of the best char siu in Hong Kong…read more Chai wan is not a place you would visit unless you live in the area, which is a good thing as the lines are reasonable and the prices aren't inflated. There is limited seating so it's best to come in a small group or do take away. Food: 4 stars Value: 4.5 stars Overall: 4.25 stars Recommendations: char siu, goose, duck leg It is definitely one of the better versions I have had and is comparable to the more high end iberico pork versions served in the Michelin restaurants. The char siu is not sweet at all and you get that nice touch of sweetness from the dipping sauce which is very good here. The consistency is not as thick as most places and has the right level of sweetness. I also had the duck leg here and that was also great. For a place with this type of reputation the price point is quite low. Usually when places in HK have a following the prices are at sit down restaurant levels. So I would be dissuaded by the fact that the price is slightly higher than in the cooked food center. Next time I do want to try the suckling pig.

So you want to go for BBQ outdoor somewhere in HK but can't figure it out exactly where. You may be…read morea bit hesitant to go at all knowing you will then be cramped with loads of people in the BBQ restaurant, elbowing towards the food area together them. Its like the feeling walking thru the streets in Mong Kok or Causeway Bay but the crowds have moved out to the popular getaway areas such as Sai Kung. If that's the feeling you have you may want to check out this hidden jewel in Tai Tam. Its a small BBQ restaurant with maybe only 10-15 tables each with its own BBQ grill. There's nothing around here so you will definitely feel like you are out of the city. The staff fire up the grill for you and you just tell them what kinds of Cantonese BBQ meat you need and they will bring it out for you, and the best of all its all you can eat. The variety is not broad but they have the most common Cantonese BBQ meats. The place is clean and it was very nice place to relax and chill out on a Saturday evening. They have even Mah Jong table if you are keen to play a few rounds. Table reservation is recommended. Its not easy to get here and I don't think many people knows this place. Best way is by taxi and if not take bus 14 from Chai Wan MTR and get off after you pass Tai Tam Tuk reservoir dam its the bus stop on the first junction.

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.

Price for lunch is so amazing! HK$128.00 + 10% service charge (US$17.85 including service charge) per adult ( includes drinks: Pop, Juices, Fruit Teas, even Beer! ) after dinner you can also order freshly brewed coffee! They also have a great selection of ice cream, ice cream bars, Korean ice creams and more!! Great selection of soups to start, then you have fried chicken, tempura vegetables, Japanese Cold Udon or Soba, various kinds of salads and more! Meat are all cut to smaller pieces for easy grilling, I do think their marination is typical Hong Kong style rather then Korean style, but that is totally ok with me, as it is also very tasty and well done. Service is prompt and also staffs are helpful in clearing our plates, and offering clean ones etc. I am surprised to see such level of service in a AYCE type restaurant. For the price you pay, I am not going to nitpick too much, as long as decent service with good selection of food for you to choose from, I am already ahead of the game!

This is Korean BBQ all-you-can-eat AT ITS FINEST. This is the real…read moregrab-as-much-as-you-want-back-to-your-table buffet style. There are four buffet tables for: - AYCE marinated meat in all sorts of flavours - AYCE sushi! - AYCE soups, fried foods - AYCE ice-cream, drinks, jelly, cotton candy machine, cakes, some fruits OK OMG where do I start, because that's exactly what I thought when I sat down. Let's start with the most boring: SUSHI there is sushi in the back, 3 pieces of California sushi, 6 rolls of imitation crab sushi, 6 rolls of salmon sushi. There are two staff making sushi and sashimi is dinner only. There's cold salads, soba noodles, some other salad with a lot of dressing, two gigantic bowls of lettuce, a whole tub of wasabi SOUPS/FRIED FOODS one pot soup of the day (minestrone soup), 6 spring rolls, 10 pieces of fries, smelt fish with tons of eggs, 6 pieces of dumplings. Some fried fish (garlic and some other one). Kimchi and side dishes. The above is truly as sad as it sounds. But honestly you come here for: THE MEAT - marinated pork chop - pork belly - pork belly with herbs - pig ribs - honey BBQ pork - pork intestine with black pepper (I didn't eat this) - chicken fillet - chicken wings - chicken wings with herbs - beef with soybean paste - diced beef fillet - ox tongue - basa fillet - mackerel - marinated mini octopus - squid tentacle in curry and some others I didn't want to take photos of. VEGETABLES - mushrooms (enoki, French, and oyster I think) - lettuce - corn - pineapple - orange thing that looks like cheese DRINKS - fresh lemon tea (doesn't taste packaged) - fresh plum juice (doesn't taste packaged) - soymilk (cannot tell but doesn't taste packaged) DESSERTS - 6 tubs of ice-cream (no red bean, no green tea) - coconut jelly, jelly with herbs, jelly that looks like lego - chocolate fondue tower with two big bowls of marshmallows - chocolate lollipops - COTTON CANDY MACHINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And whatever else I miss because my memory can only hold so much. There is a lot! For lunch 4 people, we each paid about $140. They add service charge to the bill. SERVICE OK maybe it's just my luck but they are extremely nice! They were patient, they reminded us that we need to eat by 3:45pm because they need to close the tables soon. The cleaning ladies were worried we didn't eat enough!!! THE RULES you eat for exactly 90 minutes. When your time is up, they come and pick up your plates and turn off the fire. However because we arrived at 2pm, our 90 minutes ends at 3:30pm. Sushi counter closes at 3:30pm, the rest closes at 3:45pm and the restaurant closes at 4pm. They reopen for dinner later. Technically we had more than 90 minutes because 3:30pm meant no new customers can come inside, they just let us take our time as we roast our marshmallows in the fire!!! ZOMG THERE IS A COTTON CANDY MACHINE!

I've been eating at this place since 2004 and the char siu is always good. I personally prefer it…read moreto Joy Hing, as the char siu is better and this place includes vegetables and a drink (can coke/tea or soup) with your order. The soup is really good - for tourists, don't freak out if you find bits of chicken feet in bottom of the bowl. You don't have to eat them and its all been cooked down to create the great flavours in the soup. Finally, one additional perk of this place is you can get the food for takeaway and cross the street to Southhorn Playground to watch the weeknight 7-a-side football games, and perhaps learn a few choice words of Cantonese when a player shoots off target ;)
