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.

This time it was hot, humid, and rainy around 11:20 am and our party of 4 was able to get a table easily though it was crowded again once we were finished. This place is so famous we saw people come straight from the airport with all their luggage! Portions are very good and probably too small for most people but I loved the size. Goose and Soy Sauce Chicken: They are most known for their roast goose which has a complex and layered seasoning different than other HK roast duck/goose places. This is my go to dish, this time it tasted great but my portion of goose was super small and I split it with a friend to not get too full so it was even smaller. We also ordered the same dish with noodles and roast pork with soy chicken, both the people who had this never had Yat Lok before and totally cleared their plates, don't forget to mix each bite with some of the oil scorched green onions!

Cash only! They literally has a Auntie sitting by the door ready to take your cash!…read more Yat Lok is a family owned business located in Central, Hong Kong specialized in roast geese and Cantonese roasted/bbq meats. It's held a one Michelin star consecutively for 11 years!!! This was on my top list of places to go. Obviously, we got the roast geese. It wasn't as good as I had expected because I think we got the fatty leg section. Don't get me wrong, the glistening roast geese was delicious! I just wish it wasn't as fatty. We got the quarter size because we want to try other dishes. Crispy roast pork + Char Siu (Barbecue Pork) was on point! The roast pork skin is crispy and tasty. Char Siu is savory and sweet with smoky flavor. The vegetables was simply prepared but so good. It helps break up the greasy food. White rice and noodles for carb. This was a hearty meal. It is on the expensive side compare to other casual Cantonese bbq meats spot.

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 ;)

Food: 4 stars Environment/service: 4.5 stars Value: 3.75 stars Overall: 4 stars Recommendations: typhoon shelter shrimp, crab xiao long bao, char siu pastry On my visit I had the Peking duck which I found fine but wasn't particularly impressed by. The skin didn't have the crispness I was hoping for. The typhoon shelter crab is very good. I loved all the fried garlic and the hint of heat from the chili's. The shrimps were luscious and had the nice snap you get from fresh seafood. I also enjoyed the dim sum here with the crab Xiao long bao and the char siu apple puff the real stand outs for me.

The meat is smoked well and is tender and the sauces are pretty good, although the spicy kind is probably my favorite. I really like the brisket which is really flavorful and the smoke rings on it show it's been cooked low and slow. The beer selection is pretty decent-especially compared to some of the other places that say they 'serve craft beer.' What impresses me most is they pay attention to how its served and the staff definitely knows their stuff when it comes to beer, a few of the staff having their cicerone certificate, it's like being a sommelier but for beer. If I have visitors I usually take them here after all the tourist- stuff.

They have all kinds of beers on tap, including a great selection of American beers but I was there to try the local ones, and they had plenty from Hong Kong and Asia! The bartender was very welcoming and when she found out we were visiting, she let us sample many of the Hong Kong beers. We tried an interesting sour trio from Yardley Brother--beers made with Mangosteen, Lemon, and Thai Chilli. I was hoping to like the Mangosteen one but it was a bit too muted for me; however, I LOVED the Thai Chilli sour so I ordered a full pour of that! Other great Hong Kong beers we tried were the Hunk Sir Milffee Porter (made with coffee and lactose) from Heroes Beer, and Meringue-utang strawberry/vanilla milkshake Double IPA by Carbon Brews. Beers in Hong Kong seem to be on the expensive side, although at this place the price wasn't quite as high as others. They also served food (BBQ) but we didn't get to try any. But I'd definitely come back here next time in Hong Kong!

Cheap drinks and cheap food, what's not to like - especially when it's as tasty as this stuff. Be on the lookout for basically anything in their deep fried menu, however their pork is a real standout.

The decor was nothing fancy, but spacious and comfortable. The buffet was a grand total of $185, with the 10% included. Now, I'm not usually a fan of buffets because I'll be guaranteed to overeat, and my overstuff stomach now is proof. I haven't been to a BBQ buffet ever, but I was quite impressed with the selection. Firstly, we were served tea as promptly as we were seated. The selection of meats ranged from all cuts of beef, chicken, pork, sausages and seafood such as fish, squid, shrimp, cuttlefish. You really couln't complain about the meats selection. The veg selection was much smaller in comparison, I would've loved to see more, but in actuality, I probably wouldn't have eaten that much anyway. The sides selection was quite good. With the Korean sides such as anchovies and beansprouts, but also a few Chinese options like tofu, potatos, chicken feet, noodles and Chinese veg. The desserts were mostly of the traditional Chinese sort - with mango sago, glutinous rice balls, sweet potato soup, grass jelly, and papaya and white fungus. The papaya and fungus hit the right spot for me. I wish I was hungrier as I would have definitely eaten more if I could. By dessert time, I was also feeling a slight discomfort in my stomach, and didn't get to try as many desserts as I'd liked. Everything was good, but the only reservations I had was about some of the meat. It gave me the impression that it may have sat out there for a while, as pools of bloody water was collecting at the bottom. And when we were cooking it, stuff oozed out of it that was indication about their having been defrosted. I avoided the chicken just in case. But in general all their meats were very well marinated. I didn't try their sushi as it wasn't in the prettiest form, but I saw a lot of other guests having them. I'd definitely recommend you go if you're famished, you will get a full belly for sure! But for me, I think I'd rather go to an a la carte place and be sure I'm getting really fresh and premium cuts, and not have the time limit of 1.5 hours to eat (which is plenty really but for a buffet, you feel rushed!)
