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!

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.

Came here for brunch as it was near our hotel…read more We came 15 mins after opening and were seated quickly. They gave us a booklet along with the paper to fill out, and most of the dim sum was the classic dim sum that I'm accustomed to. Their chiu chou fun gor was alright for me. They did put a good amount of peanuts in here but the exterior was a bit heavier on the dough side. Their siu mai and har gow were pretty good. Their cheung fun wasn't the silky light type, so I was just alright with it. Their Chicken with Sticky Rice wraped in Lotus Leaf was huge though, way bigger than those in Los Angeles. Their fresh mango custard roll was my highlight though, as they had chunks of mango in the middle and it was sweet. Would try this again. I think the one other aspect of this place is the interior is really clean, and they have a decent amount of tables inside. Service is a bit more attentive as the area isn't as large. I was most certainly full upon completion of this meal though haha.

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.

This was my first stop in Hong Kong for roast goose, and while it ended up being my least favorite of the meats, it was still very good--much leaner than I expected, with rich flavor. The true standouts were the roast pork and char siu. The roast pork had an ultra-crispy skin--almost sharp enough to cut your mouth, but in the best possible way--paired with juicy, flavorful meat underneath. The char siu struck a perfect sweet-and-savory balance, with a beautiful ratio of fat to meat that made each bite melt in your mouth. We also tried the suckling pig, which had wonderfully fragrant and flavorful meat. The skin was tasty, though not quite as crispy as the roast pork's. Service was fast, friendly, and efficient. The space is simple--white tiled walls, small stools, and a cozy, no-frills dining room that lets the food do all the talking.

The food taste and quality easily exceeds my expectations of a 5 star restaurant; however, the reason why I'm giving this joint 4 stars is for their service towards foreigners. We brought our friends here for brunch, some of which are white. The staff treated us so much worse than the times we come here with family. To give you some examples: we were ignored for many parts of the meal with our food delivered very sporadically. we had to ask multiple times to make simple requests. They tried to serve dessert in the middle of our meal, when we asked them to bring it back later the server yelled at me for not making t clear when ordering. This is absolutely absurd! At asian restaurants, this is always assumed since they do not have a separate dessert menu like most western restaurants. A high end chain like lei garden would normally not mess this up. Furthermore, admitting to the mistake would have been fine, but their wait staff yelled at the customer! TL:DR Come here for the food, come with low expectations for the staff, or come here with a local hk family
