None of them look especially better than the other so we just randomly picked this place. Salt and chili pepper squid - no salt and chili pepper. Just fried squid with dipping sauce. Sweet and sour pork - execution is not bad since sauce just coats the meat. Taste is also ok Black bean razor clam - only 6 pieces?? Seems like such a rip off. Flavor is not bad. Just as expect with touristy areas claiming to be seafood stalls - mediocre food with higher prices.

I had about an hour left before the ferry and was trying to squeeze in a quick meal. They have sets but I just wanted an alacarte and they suggested the steamed prawns with garlic. It was sooo good. The seafood was fresh and covered in delicious garlic and scallions. Underneath, there is vermicelli to catch all the steamed prawn goodness. For $28 USD it was a bit pricey for HK standards but not bad for how large the portion was. Was it unique to the island? I don't know... maybe , maybe not. But it's nice to sit outside and stare at the sunset over the ocean and eat seafood.

A light, savory-sweet broth that I only wish there was more of is accompanied with a respectable portion of bouncy noodles and chunky wontons. I got the wonton soup with the fish ball and pork, which I absolutely recommend. The pork pieces were tender, but the true star of the dish was the fish ball. A rich seafood flavor with a delightful citrus note made the dish pop. Be aware that there may be some small bones though. Keep in mind that the restaurant is a busy and tight space for a quick dine and go, but an absolute must try for those in the area.

Part of Hong Kong legends are 90 year old noodle shops. When I think of this, I think of Kau Kee…read more When I'm in Sheung Wan (because it's where my hotel is) and I want a casual meal that's no fuss but tasty and comforting, I think of walking 10 minutes to Kau Kee. You might even hear me say it's THE place for beef brisket noodles. Other (likely amateur) things tourists like me say: My favorites are the broth, flat noodles and on occasion, tendon. I think most people would go for the broth or curry. E-Fu noodles seem to be the most popular, often being sold out. Once they even sold out of broth. I'm lucky or an unpunctual eater or very late to the Kau Kee club as I've never waited in a line. Know that long queues have been said to be the welcome. The first time I visited was thanks to its Michelin recommended status. At the time of writing this review it has since been awarded the Bib Gourmand. The experience was quintessentially Asia. The two of us sardined on a table with a family of four who were either local or no stranger to the land and culture. Normally patrons respectfully dine quickly in silence and leave. This group was indeed quick with typical stoic expressions but also gifted us a smidge of their efforts when looking up from their bowls for the slightest seconds, pointing at their drinks: cokes with lemons, wordlessly suggesting we try some and gesturing their hands to show us how to. Lemon first on the ice, coke poured on. Of course we copied and it was the most extravagant part of our meal. ;)

Hong Kong Cafes with a noodle focus almost always end up being my preferred places to chow down…read more Chui Hing (潮興魚蛋粉) is combines no nonsense service with killer food, along with affordable pricing and 24 hour availability to boot. The pretense is non-existent and locals (including myself!) seem to love it here. So like many noodle spots in HK, this place is fairly small. No big tables for 5+ but quite a few small'ish round tables that are good for solo eats or the invaluable food companion. The aroma coming from the semi-open kitchen should be enough inspiration for folks to know what they want upon arrival, but just in case they have the menus outlined along the wall. An easy way to start? Try a wonton and beef brisket with your choice of noodles. The wontons are somewhat pillowy in texture and full of flavor while the beef brisket is braised well while maintaining a perfectly chewy bite. The noodle variety is good, with egg / rice noodles winning over the crowd though I feel the e-fu noodles take the cake. Lastly, do not sleep on the beef tendon. It's practically butter when done right. Chui Hing does fancy itself as a HK style cafe, so other dishes like congee, fried fish skin, fried rice, may appear on the menu, focus on what to stack in your bowl instead. The staff is really helpful and welcoming.
Pretty good wonton noodle soup and milk tea. They're open 24/7 and very close to many local hotels…read more I only got takeout, but noticed great air conditioning inside. The prices are also very reasonable. I bought beef ball and wonton, wonton noodle soup. I didn't ask to have the noodles separate, but they still retained a good amount of chew by the time I got back up top the hotel. You can pay a little extra anywhere to ask them pack separate. The wontons are ok, beef balls are good, noodles are good, soup okay. The milk tea wasn't very strong but has a nice authentic back flavor. Everything was ready in under 5 minutes. Very good for takeout!

Mak Man Kee is one of…read moreseveral well known shops that serve what Hong Kongers love most, a fresh and hot bowl of shrimp wontons with springy noodles. The space is very small inside and they only take cash. I wouldn't recommend dining with more than 3 people because of the super tight space. Best to come solo or with just a friend. I found their shrimp wontons decently fresh but not extremely memorable. The noodles weren't as springy as I'd like. The soup did not have the depth I was looking for. While it was comforting and soul warming, this place is not in my top ranking for flavor not consistency. Service was quick and efficient. Just not a very memorable place and overhyped in my opinion.

My goodness, it's been months since my trip to Hong Kong and I can never forget about this place…read moreduring my travels. My relatives took me to this place for afternoon tea and it was one of the best places I ever had for dim sum in my entire life. My goodness. From the moment I took my first bite into their dumplings, it was a match made in heaven. From the perfect balance of the wrapping and filling all the way to the seasoning, was on point throughout. I could go on and on of each dumpling, but you have to try them out for yourself to get the full experience. The Fujian Fried Rice was arguably the best fried rice I ever ate. An abundance of seafood, mushrooms and gailan matched perfectly well with the fried rice. I can see why this place is always a popular spot for afternoon tea among the locals as it definitely check off the main factors I look for in a dim sum spot: affordability, comfort, and taste. I wish this chain came to Canada as I can envision myself making a weekly trip to their establishments as the food is so good. Definitely a must visit if you are to make a trip to Hong Kong!

Service obviously left something to be desired but at least they didn't yell the order (to the kitchen) or being overly loud (quite civilized relatively speaking).

Their kitchen closes at 1:30 pm so as soon as we sat down we had to rush our order. Toilet is not in the restaurant but outside in the hallway, tucked away and unsightly. Dirty.

Pan-fried Red Cargo Rice-roll w/ Shrimp (脆網紅米腸) is their signature dim sum. It's bouncy shrimps wrapped with a deep-fried, crunch layer and a slice of silly red sheet. This combination of different textures is interesting. If you're bored of having traditional Shrimp Rice Roll (蝦腸), this will be a good alternative! Location wise, it'll be quite inconvenient for patrons who come by MTR. It's an about 20 minute walking distance from Kowloon Bay MTR Station to the restaurant. To avoid the walk, you can take free shuttles that run between Telford Mall and MegaBox Mall. MegaBox Mall is right opposite to Chung's Cuisine where you can check it out before/after the meal.

Chuk Yuen is a well established Seafood Restaurant this is close to my home in Hong Kong, situated at the Tram Terminus in Happy Valley, it is a very convenient location for locals and visitors alike! Being a seafood restaurant, they have their very own fish tanks at the front of the restaurant for foodies to pick their own! As you can see from my photos, all the seafood was prepared really well, my personal favourite is their Salt & Pepper Mantis Prawns topped with Fried Garlic! Since the Mantis Prawns are all freshly picked from their own fish tank, they cannot be more fresh! The meat of the prawns were all done just right and not dry, as it can be if it is just slightly over cooked, this requires experience & skill from the Chef. Of course, all other dishes are also outstanding, in fact, we came back the next morning to try their dim sum, which were also done very well! Only pity is that for normal meals, with just the two of us, it is impossible to order the variety and the amount of food you see here, well, I guess that gives us more reason to call the family in!!

It's cold chicken and you can still taste the alcohol in the sauce it's in. I guess it's called drunken chicken for a reason but I was not a fan. You can't really go wrong with anything else that's on this menu. Even the fried rice was really good! This place and its food quality reminds me of Din Tai Fung.

Then they had the nerve to offer us take out and charge us a takeout fee. Our hotel called about four minutes earlier since it was right around the corner saying that there was no problem for us to go as long as we got here before 930. OK moving on from that we ordered monkey hear something or other and spicy chicken and they were both pretty good but definitely not the level that we are accustomed to for Hong Kong vegetarian food. The serving sizes were pretty small for the price which is fairly typical Hong Kong so I can't really takeoff points for that.

Food did take a while to come out though which was kinda nice when HK is usually so fast paced that you can't enjoy a meal. Service was so so as it sometimes took a while to flag down the staff but it's also expected in HK.
