Located on the bustling yet gritty Hennessy Road is Ra Cha Moo Yang, a tiny Thai eatery that easily…read moregets lost in the shuffle of the other dodgy / seedy bizes in Wanchai. To call it a dive would be putting it lightly, with a setup that is perfect for people on the go but just enough seating to accommodate several parties of 1 or 2 at the most. The feel is distinctly SE Asian, almost reminiscent of the street side Thai eateries in Bangkok, with just as much grit and clustered big city feel. Despite the little attention it receives, the interior would suggest this place has been around for a long time. Articles from the 80s are taped to the wall, faded decor pieces from Thailand have lost their color due to age and sun damage, and the staff / crew is a mix of old Thai ladies who speak just enough Canto to keep locals in check. They're a nice bunch, but the food is the real draw. Their version of a pad thai reminds me of something I'd find back in the states, albeit drastically greasier and messier. Shallots and peanuts are dusted across some overcooked bits of egg and a mesh of noodles. It is tasty but requires a lot of lime to really bring out any flavor. Their tom yum soup seems to be made occasionally (i.e. on a menu but not available each day), but was full of flavor despite having such a murky color. The real standout is their namesake, the moo yang, i.e. grilled pork neck. Their stay skewers on display may look like they've been sitting there all night, but it was likely made fresh earlier that day. A little peanut sauce and sweet hoisin make for great dipping, but I like devouring it sans any condiments. They have an entire glass case, viewable from the street and sell them for anywhere from $15-28 a piece. I'm also really impressed with their moo ping (roast pork) standalone dish. Tender chunks of pork with a crispy exterior, somewhat similar to Filipino lechon but without the liver sauce. The danger with a lot of their crispy pork products is there is a lot more fat than meat half the time, which also bodes true for their banana leaf wrapped stuffed sticky rice. Thai style tamales were more disappointing than they were tasty. If dining in, shoot for a grilled fish but for folks on the go -- pork skewers are the way to go. Ra Cha Moo Yang is cash only. Don't come here in a group and don't expect much in the realm of Northern Thai cuisine. Their version is slightly catered to the local palate, but there is a lot to be appreciated with the items they do well with (mainly pork related).

Lots of takeaway snacks including possibly the best fried pork rinds I've ever eaten. Today I sat down for spicy pork mince in lettuce cups - laap moo. They had toned down the spice for the poor farang, but I can attest to their usual levels of Thai spiciness. Great dish with plenty of lettuce that kept me going to the end of the mince. Open very late night for alcohol-absorbing treats.

Kowloon City is known for many good eateries, especially Thai restaurants! Cambo Thai is definitely…read moremy top choice for good Thai food of great value. Cambo Thai has two storefronts next to each other. The restaurants are not connected but they share the same kitchen and there's a long hole in the wall where dishes and bills are passed back and forth. The must-eats at Cambo Thai are the prawn sashimi and the deep-fried shrimp balls. I really enjoy how the deep-fried shrimp balls are hot and chewy, with some special sauce filled inside them. This time we ordered some stir-fried spicy flat rice noodles with beef. They used real chilli to stir fry and it really gave it a kick! Make sure you don't accidentally bite some chilli as they will leave your tongue numb! While things are getting spiced up, I suggest you order a fresh young coconut to cool you down. The only thing I dislike about this place is that it's quite crowded and you're most likely sitting side by side or back to back with others. It's not a good place if you want to catch up with friends but otherwise the food and price is great!

I've found it challenging to find decent Thai food around Central. Sure, the restaurants exist, but…read morethey're either "Thai-inspired" or some sort of Asian fusion that I'm just not interested in. I took a chance on Tuk Tuk and was pleased! First impressions were good: I liked the homey decor and the staff appeared to all be Thai. The menu had all the dishes I was looking for, and had a lot to choose, from seafood, meat, noodles, to rice. Prices are affordable for Central, too. I really enjoyed their Pad Thai. It wasn't too saucy, unlike the one I tried at nearby Koh Thai further up the escalators. They kinda scrimped on the shrimp, but surprisingly I'm the type of person who likes more noodles than chicken/beef/shrimp so this didn't bother me too much. It might if you like more of the latter! I washed it all down with a Thai iced tea, though it wasn't the best as it got watered down easily. I'd happily return to try their pineapple fried rice and other dishes next time!

You get the sweetness from the Coconut meat that you can scoop out from the inside. I like thick curry so this dish was just right for me! The grilled chicken was really good too! You'd have to wait an extra 25 minutes as it takes them this long to prepare this dish! You know its freshly cooked! We also had the papaya salad. Uh..Loved it too! They get really busy during busy time, so If you get there around 6:00 p.m. it's easier to get a table right away! Cash only. *boo hoo* No service charge. *yay* Not open on Sundays. *come on Saturday!*

I COME HERE ALL THE TIME!!!…read more I travel to thailand quite a bit and love the foods and flavors of the country and actually cook some pretty decent Thai foods myself. If your looking for a pretty close representation of Thai flavors and food this is a great spot to sit and eat. The cook is Authentic Thai living in Hk many years and married to a HK guy and the place is a knock out for PRICE vs: AUTHENTICITY vs: Quick basic service. Not a 5 star restaurant but being a foodie i love hole in the wall fun places that are real and not ostentatious. The servers speak decent English, Cantonese and Thai and maybe a few more... Nepalese... Sitting downstairs floor level there are roughly 5 tables and upstairs where i have sat more than not... I don't care for the ip[stairs but then again i go for the food and friends i am eating with not the atmosphere. Highly recommend the Laab Gai , Tum Yum Goong , Ko Mu Yang !! is awesome, Yum neaua, and many others its all really good. and the Pla Pao is nice nice!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

While the Thai food served here is tasty, it is on the pricier side (same as US prices) so you're…read morenot really getting a deal here. Of the three dishes I had here, my favorite was the grilled pork neck, followed by the tom yum with the green curry at the bottom (because it is on the sweeter side). Since there are so many food options just a stone's throw away from every other restaurant, I'd dine elsewhere before deciding to come back again. MY ORDER x1 Tom Yum Soup x1 Green Curry x1 Grilled Pork Neck TOM YUM SOUP: ($136HKD =$17.58USD) I have no qualms with this Tom Yum soup. While not the best Tom Yum soup I've had in terms of depth of flavor, it was still very tasty. I appreciate that it was full of ingredients like mushroom, fat headed shrimp, tomatoes etc. I also enjoyed the splash of coconut milk on top. GREEN CURRY: ($118HKD = $15.03USD) If you like sweet coconut curries, you'll enjoy this. Filled with Thai eggplant, basil, mushrooms and your choice of meat, this was definitely a bang for your buck. Curries are an amazing pairing with rice, if only the rice ($15HKD = $1.91USD per bowl)bowls were cheaper here. Since I'm not a fan of sweet curries, I probably won't order this again, but I will note that this curry was not as sickeningly coconut sweet as the curries you'd find in the U.S. GRILLED PORK NECK: ($118HKD = $15.03USD) The fatty neck was grilled in a sweet and savory barbecue sauce and would have been a bit too decadent if it weren't for the vinegary dipping sauce it was served with. Even though the lemony fish dipping sauce is sour enough to make you wince when consumed on its own, together they make this dish. This also comes with a couple shrimp chips...that taste like pork floss (unfortunately, I don't know what this is). ENVIRONMENT: Nice and modern looking, this restaurant was apparently remodeled with an upper and lower level. Expect to eat with light tin utensils atop of tin dishes. The air conditioning, while initially an excellent respite from the sweltering heat outside, was a bit too strong for my liking as the food cooled down too quickly, but it may have been set so high to accommodate government mandated indoor airflow. CONS: - pricey compared to other local restaurants - air conditioning was too strong TIPS: - while i thought the green curry was too sweet, it may just be that I find all coconut milk based curry too sweet

We came here for a late night dinner as we had the Thai food craving. The first one we wanted to go to closed early at 8pm, so we walked a couple of blocks to arrive to this little gem. If you've always been how I used to be at Thai restaurants, ordering the safe dishes like green curry, Panang curry and the rest of the curries, Pad Thai, drunken noodles, chicken satay, then maybe you'd wanna try some other Thai stuff here, because this place is really authentic and the chef cooks good food. I highly recommend their cold appetizers such as the spicy papaya salad with salted crab and the minced pork salad. The dishes don't taste simple as they sound because of all the special Thai herbs and spices they use. As a person who has never attempted cooking Thai dishes before, how they cook always baffles me. Watch out for the Thai spicy level. I'd go with a 3 only if you just want a little bit of kick. If you can do a Thai 10, more power to you! The papaya salad with salted crab, as the name spells out, can be a bit on the salty side, so it's good if you have some white rice as a filler. The minced pork salad is to be eaten like a Chinese chicken wrap where you scoop the minced pork into the cup-shaped lettuce leaf and shove it into your mouth. The one hot dish I absolutely devoured was the stir-fried morning glory Thai style! It tastes like what a lot of HK locals would refer to 夠穫氣 which literally means "enough wok essence" Yeah it sounds so dumb... What it means is there is enough fire, heat and power to make a good stir-fry! The curries there were just okay, but definitely decent enough to fulfill your curry cravings. To wrap the meal up, how can we forget the mango sticky rice! I made my own mango sticky rice before, so I know what's good and not, and this place got it right! The rice was chewy and soft, and the coconut sauce had the right consistency and flavor. The mango would not be in season in the winter so it might taste a bit sour, but it wouldn't be their fault, so if you want a perfect mango sticky rice, order during the summer. Definitely a good spot for Thai food in Wan Chai!

She decided to take me here with our entire family for a Friday lunch. It's definitely somewhat no frills, not much decoration aside from a little bit of traditional Thai decor. The menu is quite vast, though their lunch specials was what I cared about, and one of the items that I haven't seen much in Canada is boat noodles, so that was what I went for. They were really good! The broth had a lot of flavour, the noodles were wide, and there were plenty of pork balls and sliced pork that were all tasty. My family shared a plate of chicken wings with fish sauce and pork skewers. The chicken wings were extremely juicy, and the pork skewers were unique in that they were thinner slices than what I'm used to, and barely any fat. Service was average, there wasn't much interaction with the servers here. Nonetheless for places like this I come for the food, and I was very happy with the results.
