The geoduck, we have it sashimi style and congee. The razor clams were cooked with pepper and black beans, we also stem the crab and the whole meal was delicious. The service was friendly and attentive. You can see all of the live seafood before you ordered and Yiu know they are fresh. The decor is a typical Chinese restaurant with outside seating but due to the hot weather, we opt for upstairs with AC.

And then there is a charge to have all seafood cooked to whatever seasoning. We ordered mantis shrimp, it was deep fried there isnt much meat, scallops were steamed with rice vermicelli noodle and soy sauce, scallops were over cooked, and crab was deep fried with fried galic and green onions spicy. Cooked just right, and a fresh live fish was steam chinese style with scallions and soy sauce, fish steamed perfectly. They have indoor and outdoor seating. There is no pricing for the seafood than has to be weight, and there is a fee to cook each seafood item that choose, it will add up bill quickly. After receiving bill we were charged for tea and anything extra you requested. If you need to splurge once when in Hong Kong it is ok, pricing will be on the high end. They also have on far left a restaurant with same name. And on right is another restaurant that has same fresh live seafood restaurant. So chose wisely.

By far the best meal I had in HK in the week+ I was vacationing. My SIL had done the legwork of…read moretracking down the correct contact and booking the dinner with no listed website. The directions to get to the boat where we would be eating was both vague and intriguing. The taxi / uber will drop you off at Typhoon Shelter Causeway. After you pass the neon sign and find bus stop 110, go towards the water. Where there's a dozen+ steps is where a boat will come to pick you up and take you to the boat where you will be eating. When we got there no one else was there but it got busier. If you book out the entire boat / have a large enough party...you will not have to share the boat. Amazing view of Victoria Bay and the neon lights and skyscrapers. Very little rockiness from the water. The most difficult part was using the bathroom & having to scoop water from the bay to force flush the toilet. My brother came over to make sure I didn't fall out of the window & my kids were laughing. 5/5 hilarious core moment 1) Steamed prawns and snails: prawns were perfectly cooked and lightly seasoned. Snails just seemed boiled and had no seasoning; pass. 2) Gizzards & cold chicken appetizer: tasty but nothing to write home to. 3) Roast Duck: Skin was not crisp but the flavor was there. 4) Garlic clams: savory, flavorful, tender and fresh! 5) Razor clams with glass noodles: loads of garlic, pre-scooped out clams and savory noodles. My favorite dish. 6) Chow mein: a wonderful surprise to what I thought would just be filler for the kids. So flavorful, generously portioned, and nice chewy noodles 7) Lobster & noodles: sauce translated to "cheesy" but did not taste like cheese, was a thick almost cream sauce. Came with cracker / claws which was great for the kids. Meaty lobster, perfectly cooked. 8) River shrimp: translates to "pee shrimp" and were cut down the middle to get the shrimp out. These were my husband's favorite. A mix of lobster x shrimp that was the size of my 10 y/o's face. 9) Garlic fried crab: crunchy garlic bits were the best, I had a hard time eating the crab even with the cracker / claws to help. 10/10 would recommend. One of a kind experience!!

It's important to note that Shun Kee isn't a 1-click reservation experience. It's highly recommended to use Whatsapp to contact them and reserve. There is no website as well. Once your time comes, you'll need to head to a specific set of stairs down from the dockside on the harbour, right next to a pedestrian bridge. The location on Google Maps is called "Shun Kee Typhoon Shelter Seafood". A boat will come to pick you up and take you to the sampan boats in the harbour, which will be your dining room. The food there is fresh, tasty, and plentiful. It really tastes and feels like you're sitting in someone's kitchen, getting meals prepared by a friend's auntie. The boats do move in the water (obviously) so be sure you're ok with some light rocking.

It doesn't exactly look sanitary as the kitchen and tables are basically located in the middle of an alley, but man is the food here delicious! Being located in the heart of central, they smartly have an English menu. I highly suggest you get some beer with your meal. It just goes so well together. Been here a few times before and my favorites are the spare ribs, salt and pepper pork, and fillet fish with bitter melon. It's the perfect place to chill, eat some good Chinese food, and have a cold beer on a hot day. Also a good place to take guests as its a pretty cool Hong Kong experience to eat local food in the middle of a street.

They are located on the second floor. There is a main dining room and private rooms you can dine in. We dined in a private room for more privacy both visits. The service was friendly but they did forget one menu item we ordered during our lunch visit. Service was a little slow during our dinner visit but they were fully packed. You order by marking the items on the menu that you want for lunch and can order directly with the server for dinner. They have dimsum and many other Chinese dishes available. There is a fish tank with lots of fresh seafood. It was very fresh and we enjoyed it. Overall, the food is good and I was surprised how busy they were for a second floor restaurant. One great thing about this restaurant is that they accept credit cards. It's near a lot of feet washing establishments so you can check them out after a good meal. It's a thing in Hong Kong apparently but quite relaxing after a good meal.

However, you get a…read moreglimpse of all the fresh seafood you can eat when you enter the first floor with their huge live seafood tank. So, you know that seafood is going to be stellar. I can't lie and say the service is awesome. In fact, if you get the wrong waiter, the service can be downright horrible. The service staff can spot a foreigner right away. But, try to be calm and cool, and know what you are ordering. I would suggest bringing a local Hong Kong friend here, if you have one, to help you order the right food. Here's a breakdown of all the dishes that we tried here: Roast pork - this was ok. The skin wasn't crispy enough, in my opinion. The the meat was pretty lean and tough. The flavor was there, though. Razor clams - Amazeballs. Although, I wish they'd give us more than 4 clams. Sweet seafood taste and a sauce to die for. Nothing was left on the plate. Lol. Roast goose - This was good. Fragrant and oily meat, if you like that kind of meat. I would recommend ordering Roast pigeon - this was absolutely delicious. Tastes like duck, but less oily and more chewy. Great flavor. I ate so many pieces. Steamed fish - wonderful clean flavor. Very fresh. The fish meat was bouncy and moist. Just like the razor clam sauce, the fish sauce was plate licking good. Be careful that you don't order too big of a fish. We made this mistake once and had a hard time eating all of it. Steamed abalone - this was kind of meh. The abalone just takes in the flavor of whatever it's flavored with. Don't get me wrong, it was a good flavor. But, I didn't enjoy the rubbery like texture. I probably won't order this again. Overall, I really like the food here. Really not a fan of the service or the crazy busyness of this restaurant. I'll still come back when I visit Hong Kong again

It is a good place if you are in the area and wanted dai pai dong style food but Kui Kee is quite expensive for what it is and a tourist trap in my opinion. The food is heavily seasoned with MSG. There is no difference in the seasoning used when you order the fried crab (避風塘炒蟹) and pepper salt mantis shrimp (椒鹽瀨尿蝦). There isn't anything that really stood out and distinguish themselves.

This place works for foreigners because there are pictures all over the walls so you can literally point at what looks good. Also, they have tanks for live fish and other seafood like razor clams, shrimps, etc. that you can pick for them to cook for you in the kitchen. The price is also great. For less than $100, we got razor clams, shrimp, steamed fish, and also crab and veggies. For a meal like this in the US, it would cost way more than what we paid. Also, you have to walk through some fruit venders to get here and they have exotic fruits like durian and mangosteen.

The whole tour, about 5-8 big tour groups, gathered here for dinner. We were the first group to arrive and had to wait until everyone made it and took their seats before we were served. Tea was included in our meal but all other drinks cost. Each table held about 8 people. We had so much food and at one point didn't have room to add anymore to the table but they layered it up like a tier. I don't have a favorite dish because I liked them all. It was different from the food back home in the states, more authentic, at least to me. This was a great way to try a little of everything. We had pork, seafood soup, fried beef with spring onions, deep fried fish with sweet corn, sweet and sour pork, fried chicken with chili sauce, stir fried vegetables with garlic, fried rice and fried noodles. I learned that you get 2 sets of chopsticks, one to pick up food from or you use a serving spoon so you don't spread your germs and another set which is your personal one to use to eat.

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 :)

Incredibly well priced meal, & would highly recommend as a must visit spot in HK!
