The price is cheap and the flavors local yet slightly complex and interesting. I love coming here for a bite I know won't get me too full and give me a flavor of HK. They cook right at the steamy windows and each dish is made to order so its super fresh. Wonton Noodle Soup: It costs a whopping $6 US and the broth and wonton taste super traditional but well executed. They have the timing of the noodles down and they are always al dente and perfectly cooked. The broth has dried flounder giving it a deep umami flavor you will love!

On my wonton noodle tour, I decided to take myself to various well-known spots that pride…read morethemselves in making the best fresh shrimp wontons and springy noodles. I was excited to try Mak's for the very first time. Besides the quick and friendlier service, the space is well air conditioned and while cramped, the pros outweighs any of the cons. The signature wonton noodles were the best I have had and the quality really shows. Each bite of the shrimp wontons tasted crisp and fresh while the delicate wrapper held the full shrimp tightly and neatly. The shrimp itself was cooked to perfection and did not have any mushy texture nor overcooked chew. The noodles were as springy as ever and definitely tasted as much as they were worth. The broth was the clear winner whether or not you're the type to add some red vinegar or not. It is a broth with clear depth and flavor that does not overwhelm the tastebuds, nor send them to monosodium glutamate shock. It was such a great meal, I am already looking to enjoy another bowl sooner than later. And of course, for all the non-seafood lovers out there, the beef brisket noodles are just as worthy. Also, this spot serves free tea, no tea charge!

The rice roll is thin and the crispy shrimp added a nice contrast. Also, try the Radish Cakes serve with chili sauce and Chicken Feet. The opening hours for this place are from 730AM-11PM. Also, 5HKD is automatically added to your bill in lieu of service charge. This is for the hot tea they serve...which you cannot refuse.

Imo it's their food is even better than Lan Fong Yuen and there's no line at all. They serve simple rice, noodles and congee dishes. We came here because we needed congee for our baby daughter. And we also ordered wonton noodles and beef brisket noodles, which were absolutely delicious. The broth was flavorful but not salty. And I haven't had this kind of noodles in a while which to me was very comforting. And the noodles costs only hkd 58 each (about 6 usd, what?!). The service was great. Staff was friendly. It wasn't packed so we could take our time to enjoy our lunch. I also like the "old hk" decor. There are quite a few restaurants in Heath Hong Kong but I'd recommend not to miss Six's Noodles :)

It took about 10 minutes to get seated. We didn't have to share table with strangers. We ordered a soup noodle in clear broth and a dry noodle bowl. Both with the beef trio- beef brisket, tendon and tribe. I also ordered a side of fish balls. We paid total $260 HKD, which was double than other shop that I've been to in HK. The noodle soup came first pretty quickly, but I waited for another 10 minutes for my dry noodles. The broth was really tasty. Beef brisket and tribe were tender. The fish ball was soft, bouncy not fishy but I actually had it better elsewhere. I personally liked the dry noodles more than the soup version. Staffs speak English pretty well, and they also have English menu. I'd say the beef brisket here was pretty good, but I would skip if the wait is more than 30 minutes.

I'd say just a few people, no more than 15. But I did see that a few minutes after we were seated, more people showed up waiting in line. This restaurant had the most attentive staff I've ever been to. Not just for a dim sum restaurant, any restaurant, period! Not in an annoying (American way), but they're there to remove empty plates as soon as it's finished and there for your needs if you needed something. Now the food... They gave instructions on how not to burn yourself eating xlb.. because we've all been there... Too hangry and excited to eat it as soon as it arrives to your table. Xlb was very good! Actually, every dish we got were all very good! We'd definitely like to try the San Jose, CA location one since it's close to home... Just to compare if the taste will be consistent. :)

Also, the tables are placed close to each other, so don't plan to have a too private conversation in this place. One of the best places for dim sum and char siu I swear! Also their signature dish "The crystal shrimp with Chinese cured ham" cannot be missed. As I type, my mouth starts watering already... Succulent shrimp with the perfect texture drizzled with flavorful stock served with a piece of decadent Chinese golden cured ham. Words and photos don't do it justice. Just go try it! Another must-order dish is the Chinese BBQ pork with rice. Honestly I'm not a fan of Chinese BBQ pork (char siu 叉燒), guess I ate some bad ones (very common) and I was scarred. But my mom told me it's really good here so I was like what the heck I'd try it. I ended up finishing the plate of char siu... The pork was tender and flavorful, and the honey sauce was the perfect hint of sweetness, not to mention the rice was delicious too! On to the dim sum... Some of the dim sum was just okay, nothing to write home about, but there were four that I highly, highly recommend. 1) Golden deep-fried dumpling with meat and veggies (咸水角) - crispy, sweet and salty, buttery pork and crunchy veggies as filling 2) Shrimp dumpling (蝦餃) - this is really the best shrimp dumpling I've had, and I had a lot of dim sum in my lifetime. Thin, chewy, soft and not-too-sticky clear wrapping completely filled with tightly-packed, perfectly seasoned and succulent shrimps. They are not stingy with the shrimps! 3) Crispy sesame mochi dumpling tart - everything I love about Chinese desserts morphed into one item, how can I not love it? The idea was great, and the execution was even better. On top of that lengthy description, may I add buttery too? 4) Red date glutinous cake - We didn't plan to order that, but we saw the diners right next to us raving about it, so what the heck let's get that too. Wow! So good! I love red dates and they turned those into a sweet sticky cake dessert! If you love sticky food, this is for you. I'd love to go back again for all of the above and try some new ones!

If you ask me to recommend a good Chinese restaurant in Sheung Wan district, Tim's Kitchen has to…read morebe the one. Tim's kitchen has several signature dishes, including the roast suckling pig and the crystal King prawn. The suckling pig is no doubt one of the best I've ever tried. As for the crystal King prawn, you cannot miss this and you will never forget how tasty a prawn can be after you eat this one. To start with, I recommend the appetizing chilled marinated wood fungus. Sometimes they even give you a complimentary dish of century eggs with baby ginger. Other dishes I recommend are the sweet and sour pork and the fried glutinous rice with Chinese sausages. For dessert, the almond tea is really yummy. (When I say it's really good, it is really good as I'm never a big fan of Chinese dessert soup.) Be aware that some of the dishes require ordering one day in advance. Check their menu on the website to see what you need to pre-order.
