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.

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.

The sliced beef brisket was flavorful and tender. We ordered two bowls of noodles that we customized so we could try a bit of everything. The beef brisket wasn't as tender as I had hoped so I recommend going with the sliced beef brisket. The portion for noodles is on the smaller side so there is definitely room for dessert. I also got their iced lemon tea and it was solid. It pairs well with the noodles.

The specialty here though is the brisket noodles and fish balls. Food: 4 stars Value: 4 stars Recommendations: brisket noodles, fish balls, lemon ice tea The noodles come in a soup or in a dry preparation. I prefer the dry noodles and that is what I typically order here. The noodles are really the star here and are cooked nicely with a nice chewy texture. The brisket here also is really nice. Not sure what the purpose of the piece of lettuce and I could do without that.

One thing that's great about this place is the view from the windows, as you really understand of why this area is named island resort. Since it's right on the promenade, The views are spectacular, and a great escape from the highrises of Hong Kong. The lunch specials are around 60-70hkd, which is a pretty consistent with the other restaurants in the mall. I got the pad Thai, and it was just alright. Not the best, not the worst, but still satisfying. Although I'd probably go for the curry next time. With decent food and a great view, this is a pretty good place for a quick lunch.

Food: 4 stars Value: 4 stars Recommendations: kale and pork jowl, Koh Soi We ended up ordering the fried garlic squid, the chicken Koh soi and the kale with pork jowl. The fried squid tasted a bit more like Chinese food then Thai but that is not a bad thing. The squid was tender and the crispy garlic pieces and black pepper really made the dish flavorful. The Koh Soi I also quite enjoyed. The broth really exemplified the coconut milk and curry flavors that characterize a Koh Soi. The chicken leg was also quite tender. If you like coconut milk you will enjoy this dish. Lastly, the kale and pork jowel was a really nice dish. The kale is cooked with lots of garlic. I hate when the kale is really bitter but that was not the case here. I am sucker for pork jowl and really love the texture. I prefer this over the pork belly which is more typical pairing with Chinese kale.
