I was prepared to wait in a long line based on reviews I've seen but surprisingly we just had to wait like two minutes before we got seated. Now if we were to arrive 10 minutes later, that's a different story. I swear a storm of people all decided to come at once because the line was forming fast. The waitress spoke enough English to get us through our order without any issues and even made suggestions, which is so rare in HK restaurants. She even noticed I was staring at the fan on the ceiling going 100mph and shivering and asked if I was cold and proceeded to tell her colleague to turn it down for me. Last time I went to HK, I fell in love with another goose place and knew I had to go to either that place again or try a new one. I'm proud to say I'm glad I chose this one. Place is more spacious and overall looks newer and modern when you compare the two. The meat was incredibly tender and flavorful, with little to no fat-- which is important to me because I'm pretty picky and cannot stand the fatty parts in my meat. The crispy skin also added texture and overall taste to the meat. No wonder this place is Michelin rated for the past 12 consecutive years. I would 100% come back and to try their chicken next time, which is also their top seller. They only had one left when we got seated and was gone by the time we paid our bill.
This one Michelin star restaurant was over an hr wait just to be seated. The restaurant itself is pretty small. There was already a long line when we arrived. You get a ticket number from the front to be placed on line. Here's what we did lol I was starving and there's no way I could've waited without eating first. So we went to eat at the Shanghai place around the corner. Came back and still saw the people that were in front/behind us. We ended up waiting another 15-20 mins and then we were seated. She said just wait a little longer so you can have the bigger table with extra space to put baby stroller. She was so nice to us! The food was superb!! The goose was so good but the suckling pig was the star for me. It was crunchy to perfection like I've literally never had such delicious roast pig before. Even their prince noodle was phenomenal. Overall a wonderful meal!!!
Anthony Bourdain mentioned in his last book that this was one of his favorite places to eat in Hong Kong. Hands down, the goose is top tier. Has the perfect blend of flavor, saltiness, and fat. Had it with the noodle soup. One of the best things I've had in Hong Kong. It's a must try for sure.
Waited almost an hour in line because this place is so famous, but honestly the experience was disappointing. After they finished cutting my portion of roast goose, I clearly saw the staff put the plate into a microwave to reheat it before serving to me. For a restaurant known for its roast goose and with a Michelin recognition, this was very surprising and unacceptable to me. I'm honestly uncomfortable and didn't say anything at the moment, but reheating roast goose in a microwave really affects both the texture and quality. Considering the long wait and the reputation of this place, the experience didn't meet expectations. Yes, I would NOT recommend this place.
If you heard the hype surrounding 甘牌燒鵝 (Kam's Roast Goose) and you've also been dying to try this restaurant, you're going to have to wait a bit longer. There is a long line and everyone else heard about the same goose restaurant too. We stopped by a few weeks ago on a Thursday evening, foolishly thinking we got here "early" at 5:30 PM. Nope. We waited for a solid hour for our table of seven. Thankfully, the lady managing the waiting area was nice and efficient, which we appreciated. Despite this restaurant holding a 1* rating in the Michelin Guide for many years, don't expect the typical Michelin experience. They want you in-and-out ASAP. The service was quick and our food came out just as fast. Our family got a whole roast goose to share, along with steamed choy sum, Cantonese long-boil soup, and this platter of meat. The soup was flavorful and soul-warming, so that was slurped down instantly. The choy sum and meat platter were fine, though nothing particularly memorable. Supposedly, the goose was the star, but it was a bit of a let down. It was seasoned well, and the sauce was good. However, the biggest issue was the texture: the meat was very tough, almost like the bird was old. This really dampened the experience. I'm not sure how this restaurant is a 1* with goose like this, especially since this is what people line up for. Overall, the food was fine, but definitely not worth the hour-long wait for tough goose. This was also an expensive meal! Without the wait, I would rate it a 4/5, but having to wait that long for a tough signature dish drops the rating to a 3/5.
1.5 hour wait on a Monday afternoon for Michelin star level roast goose. I noticed a lot of the people in line were mainland tourists so I was getting a bit concerned on my end. Anyway, we ordered 1/2 roast goose, marinated goose liver, and goose web (feet). The food came out within 5 minutes of ordering - stark difference compared to the queue. The goose was actually pretty good and I loved the plum sauce they give you on the side. The goose meat wasn't greasy at all. The marinated goose liver was too cooked but that's really just me because I prefer a different style. I've had better goose feet but they were decent here. Didn't had any issue with the service. I am disappointed the restaurant doesn't offer complimentary water/tea though. Definitely felt dehydrated after eating here. Would I come back? Probably not! There are other options that don't require 1.5 hour wait. I heard people recommend Yat Lok so I may have to give that one a try.
There's a solid 40-45 minute for our goose -- but remember to grab a ticket from inside first. You'll see a line pretty quickly, but it's more of a waiting area than a line. We tried cha shu, half goose, and some crispy pork belly. The pork was perfectly crispy and the cha shu sweet, tender, with no charred edges. I've never had goose, but it tasted like a leaner duck with a thinner fat layer. Super tasty with a side of plum sauce, served similar in style to roast duck! In hindsight, we could properly ordered less for the two of us (we also had two white rice each). All in all recommend stopping by! I did feel like service is pretty rushed, but I think the setting isn't really the place to drink tea and socialize! It makes sense given the wait (at 2PM!) and the space is definitely a little cleaner with a more decorated interior than some other duck or BBQ spots around.
Now I know the reason for their long lines to get in. First of all, the place is small. Their dining area is probably as big as my small living room. Secondly, they're Michelin rated as a highly rated roasted goose eatery. Here, we call it roasted duck. But is there a difference?! No need to answer. Lol. The wait outside was around thirty to forty minutes before getting seated. The roasted goose here was delicious indeed. We ordered half a goose, and it was plenty for the two of us. Very large pieces, and lots of meat on the goose. Dip the piece in some sweet and sour sauce... boom! Delicious! Yes, there was a lot of fat underneath the skin. But I still devoured it, I'll worry about my health when I get back. Lol. We also had a half order of roasted pork, and another half order of barbecue pork. It also delicious! Very flavorful, and did not need to dip it in any sauce. Gosh, I'm hungry now just for writing about it. Again, because this place is so busy, the waiter wanted everyone to just eat and leave. They won't tell you directly, but they'll bring the check over while you're still eating. Of course, it's a nicer way to tell the customers to "get out"! Lol. It was a great experience coming here. Don't expect any place in Hong Kong to be clean and tidy. So just eat, and don't think. I saw cooked geese and raw geese around the whole kitchen, while going to the restroom. Most are hanging only inches to the floor. And also saw a man mopping nearby the food because it was all wet. Quite unsanitary imo. But oh well, I'm on vacation. Overall, the food is good there. No complaints, except for the kitchen I saw. Standing outside waiting for a table take a lot of patience. There's no such thing as a straight line, nor being proper. You'll get a number, and the hostess there will yell out your number as loud as she can when your table is ready. Why? Because it's so noisy, and people talk loud. Lol. Also, you should wear a surgical mask because of the pollution from the vehicles. Yes, lots of traffic and foot traffic on the street. Five stars for the food and experience. But so much turmoil around ruins the vibe. So four stars.
Arrived at 11:20am on a Sunday in late June, 10 minutes before they opened. The line was already very long. A lady came out to give numbers to everyone in line. We should have taken the number, walked around, and come back. I found out later the rule is you lose your place in line if you miss your number by 5. Most groups kept at least one person waiting in line. We waited about an hour and a half. On weekends, they only offer full plates of the BBQ - goose, roast pork, char siu, etc. No lunch specials of BBQ over rice. So we ordered a 1/4 goose, roast pork, a bowl of rice, a plate of noodles, cold cucumber, and half a preserved egg. The best thing was the roast pork with the crispy skin. The goose was a bit too oily and fatty for our liking. The signature noodles were kinda bland but cooked well. The cucumbers were nice for cutting the fat since they were vinegary. The picked ginger that came with the preserved egg went well with it. It came out to almost 600 HKD for the 2 of us. I'm glad my wife got to try roast goose, good roast pork, and preserved egg, but I wouldn't come back on a weekend because of the wait and the lack of lunch specials. On weekdays I think the lunch special would be worth it since the lower ratio of meat to rice should make the fattiness of the meat more palatable. And I've heard the wait is also better on weekdays.
Kam's Roast Duck at Wan Chai is a Michelin Star BBQ store. They claimed that they have been 10 years Michelin star in a row. When we arrived, there was a huge lineup. We waited 1 hour 30 mins and finally got seated. Ordered 1/4 quarter roast duck and regular order cha siu. Honestly, as most people said, the duck itself is nothing too special, but the sauce is very special. People came here for the duck sauce. Cha siu is not even on par with Fat J or Yung's. Even though it is the most popular place in Wan Chai, but I won't wait one and half hour for BBQ lunch or dinner.
One might consider this place a little pricey, but it is worth it! The food is delicious, the service is fast, and, despite the crammed space, they provided a good experience for the diners. The goose was juicy and tasty. It was a little oily than I preferred it to be, but that's what you get from a goose. I have never had goose this good. It's a must try if you're in HK.
Arrived around 3:30 pm on this past Monday. Got a ticket with a number on it. And there's a digital number display outside the restaurant when your table is ready. Maybe a 10-15 minute wait as the restaurant was full and waiting for the crowds to shuffle in and out. There's room for maybe ~20 groups in there. Ordering and delivery of food is super efficient. Must orders: roast goose of course! Char siu too. The roast pig was delicate too, but not exactly my thing. Maybe I should have gone for the pork belly. They've definitely earned their star on taste! If I lived nearby, I would go back monthly! Apparently there are goose over rice plates, but they must have sold out, or maybe it's only for lunch. But that was printed on the number. And mentioned ala crate orders only. Might be tougher if solo, but 2+ people can handle two dishes. 3+ people if ordering dishes.

Michelin rated for 12 consecutive years. Here is what we ordered: - half an order of the Roast Goose - BBQ Pork Belly (fatty Char Sui) - Choy Shum - Marinated Tofu Slices (not our fave) - 2 bowls of white rice Drinks: - HK Milk Tea (excellent) - HK Style Iced Lemon Tea (oh man, I have been missing out. HK makes it the best) The way the roast goose was presented on the dish, the top pieces were tough and super dry. It was the bottom pieces that were good. The Michelin star should go to their incredible fatty Char Sui!! My son loved it so much, I let him eat most of it and I took the end pieces. Even those cuts were tender. It's one of those moments where you want to slap yo'self because you can't believe it's that damn good. After climbing 268 steps up to the Big Buddha in the scorching heat in Lantau Island and then waiting one hour in line here in torrential downpour, we left satisfied rubbing our little Buddha tummies. Patrons are given 60 minutes to eat. read more

Even at 3pm, there was already a long line outside this Michelin roast goose eatery, a must visit in Hong Kong. The line moves fast, and once seated in the crowded space, you will enjoy the roast goose that is so rich and juicy, you will need napkins! read more

I went there on a Friday around 4PM and there was already a long line. I waited over an hour, I got to the front and they told me I needed a ticket. I didn't know I needed to get one but they were nice about it and let me in as I was eating by myself. It's a small restaurant and people were sharing tables, which is normal in Hong Kong. I ordered Kam's Roast Goose (the lower half) for $220HKD, the BBQ Pork Belly (Fat Char Siu) for $120, the BBQ Pork (Char Siu) for $90HKD, and rice on the side. They also gave me 2 sauce to dip the meat in (I forgot the flavors). The dishes came out fairly quick, smelled delicious, and 2 of the dishes tasted great (the roast goose and the BBQ pork). The BBQ pork belly was just ok. The skin had a nice crunch but it wasn't salty or flavorful. It needed the sauce to make it good. I'd go back again but you can order take out and you can get your food in less than 10 minutes. I'd rather do that next ti read more
My first experience at a Michelin star restaurant did not disappoint but unlike many other Michelin restaurants, did not break the bank. This was also my first time eating goose and the bar has been set HIGH. We also ordered the barbecue pork belly and the Prince Kinsen Noodle. All sooooooo good. The goose reminded me of duck and was so so good. The pork belly was what you think of for Chinese barbecue pork, but fatty, hence pork belly. Best Chinese barbecue pork I've had. And the Prince Kinsen noodle was surprisingly good! Some reviews on here are unimpressed, but I think they were soooooo good. They look understated and plain but don't be fooled, they were super tasty. We went on a weekday mid afternoon and waited an hour, which all things concerned wasn't too bad. You do have to go in and get a number. No reservations. So so glad we went out of our way to come here. read more

Ordered goose to go and was given old, dry, tough goose. Buyer be ware. Not worth $350-400 hk. Felt cheated. Fatty cha siu was good. read more
Came here for the hype and to see if a goose can be THAT good. Goose is good but not worth the expensive price tag. Only a few pieces were crispy but the meat was tender. The sauce used is peanutty and pairs with the goose well. Their plum sauce is fresh and tastes much better than the packet stuff. We got a side of noodles and it was quite overcooked. Service was quick and they try to clean up fast to accomodate the next round. They don't serve water unless you ask. read more
Why would people wait one, two or two and a half hours to dine here? It's because they have earned 1 Michelin Star for 9 consecutive years. This was one of the many Michelin Star restaurants that I wanted to dine at during our trip to Hong Kong. When we got there, we stood in line because there is no instructions on what to do. People behind us did the same thing. Apparently you have to get a number then stand in line. That bit of information would have been nice to know because without knowing that, it added 30 minutes to our already long wait. The moment finally came when we got inside. For how busy the place is, the inside was relatively quite clean but loud. Sitting down felt so good and we were starving. Especially after we did Ten Thousand Buddhas Monastery before coming here. With all the time in line, we knew exactly what we wanted. We ordered Roast Goose, BBQ Pork (Char Siu), preserved Egg with Pickled Ginger and BBQ Pork Belly. The Roast Goose was AMAZING and I can see why people line up to try it. In hindsight, I would just order the Roast Goose as takeout and eat elsewhere. Live and learn right? read more
I honestly think this place is a bit overrated. We took the mtr from Mongkok to try this place and it was a Thursday night. It was extremely crowded and it was a one hour wait at least to eat inside. They were sold out of the goose over rice so everything had to be ordered a la carte. We opted for takeaway since it was super fast (less than 10 minutes). The goose skin was super fatty and had excellent flavor but I thought the meat was kinda tough and chewy. The noodle dish we got was super good though. Glad I tried it but maybe I'll try another goose place next time I'm in HK :) read more
I thought that a typhoon would make the wait shorter but boy, was I wrong! We arrived around 2:15PM and didn't get seated until 3:40PM! With all of their years as a Michelin restaurant, Kam's still is able to draw huge crowds, even during non-peak dining hours. When we arrived, it was a little confusing on how the queue works but I gotchu! If you're ordering for takeout, you can walk-in and order with the cashier. But if you're trying to dine-in, you'll need to grab a queue number inside. Parties larger than 5 don't get queues and I'm not sure how they accommodate for larger groups. Fortunately, they have an English menu but just like any other restaurant in Hong Kong, the servers will get impatient if you take too long so it's best to be prepared before you sit down. Our servers were pretty nice but we were prepared and ready to order as soon as we sat down. The day we visited, there were no rice/noodle combos...everything had to be ordered a la carte. And they ran out of the cucumber salad and almost ran out of the Roast Goose Lower Half. Prince Kinsen Noodle - Springy noodles coated with goose oil. It's not overly salty but it's got a rich, yet simple, profile. The noodles really stick together and the servers saw our struggle. He quickly brought some scissors and cut them into smaller pieces. Roast Goose Lower Half - I prefer dark meat for poultry and the lower half will have the juicier and fattier cuts of meat. It's the more popular option and as I said earlier, they were almost out by the time we sat down. The skin was crispy and each bite was so fatty. If you're not a fan of fatty meats, the lower half might not be for you. Roast Combo with BBQ Pork Belly and Crispy Roast Pork: To try their other meats, we ordered the combo as well. The pork belly was tasty...more on the sweeter side but not that caramelized. The crispy roast pork wasn't too bad but I think it could've been a little crunchier but overall, still good. I mean, their star is the goose so I wasn't really expecting these to be amazing too. Definitely a must-try, especially if you're okay with ordering take-out. We only waited as long as we did because there was nothing else to do but normally, I would never wait this long for food, no matter how good it is. If the wait's shorter than an hour though, you'll just have to tough it out! They accept credit card for bills over HKD250! read more

Waited 2 hours in line on our 2-day HK trip. We really wanted to have a taste of the Michelin roast goose. I remember bringing my son here a few years back for a short weekend getaway. We bought take out and quickly brought it to the airport to catch our flight. It was still so tender even cold. But I wasn't as impressed last night. My first bite was a bit tough! I love the Price Kinsen noodle with the roast goose sauce on it! Lady looking after the line was very nice, always reminding us that she had not forgotten us. read more
We visited on a Wednesday evening. We arrived approximately 6pm. At that time, our wait time from queuing up to receiving the goose at our table was just shy of an hour. The goose was well-worth the hour wait. I am not sure if I could claim it is worth a two hour wait. I've read some have stood in line for two hours or so. The place is rather small. It looks to seat 30-40 at a time. Bonus: they have a clean, western-style bathroom. Once we were seated, we were able to order other items such as cucumber salad, their noodles and drinks. The food comes out super-fast...within minutes. At first I thought ordering two 1/4 goose portions was too much for the two of us, but we were able to finish everything and were not stuffed. I like the roast goose, but to be honest, it tastes a lot like duck to me. This is my second time eating goose and I probably am not quite tuned into the difference in flavor between the two. The noodles we ordered were ok. We ordered them because they were featured prominently on the menu. The nuances of the flavor profile may have been lost on me as I didn't expect the noodles to be so plain, but maybe that was the intent. My husband liked the noodles better than I did, but it may be due to expectation. I will surely try them again, given the opportunity. Tips: As soon as you arrive, go to the front and get a queue number and place your order for the goose. You can order other items once you are seated. If your group is two or more, I suppose you can send some to actually stand in queue, while another gets the queue number and orders the goose. You have 60-minutes to dine. If you don't care to dine on premises, it's faster to order take-out. I think it's 10-15 min to receive your order. Take the receipt left at your table and Pay the cashier at the end of your meal. Take a nice stroll to walk off the calories from a good meal! Enjoy! read more

Came 10 minutes early on a wednesday lunch. Still was a long line formed and waited an additional ~20 minutes to get in. Food came fast. Servers can speak english. Ordered lunch set A B and C with two soups and a pomelo ice tea. Three sets were enough for a party of 4. The soup was my favorite part. I believe the noodles use the same soup. A very good experience however it didn't blow me away as I expected this place to do. Just very solid simple food. read more

A pricey but very tasty goose. Lowlights: Wait over 30 minutes Had to share a table with only a small plastic divider separating us from the couple on the other side Highlights Very tender and moist goose meat Crispy and flavorful goose skin Good amount of meat on the half goose (lower half included the legs) Friendly staff (best if you can speak Cantonese with them) Business is booming for this restaurant per our chat with the front desk. Just go as early as you can otherwise the closer to closing the likelier they will run out of goose. This happened around 8pm last night. You will know when they are running short of goose when they start asking customer what size and part of the goose you want and they mark it on your ticket. read more

Where do I begin? Michelin guide led me here. I'm not ever one to judge whether restaurants deserve their Michelin stars -that is not my job. I simply desired getting two geese with one stone: I've never tried goose before and figured a famous roast goose in Hong Kong was fitting for my first. It was, even though I didn't get any legs. I've heard the mixed reviews but I think people don't realize the Michelin star is for the goose. Still, I def get the gripe. Please be picky about birds such as goose and duck. It's a right. All I can say is that it was tasty and tender to me and my party (thus my rating). And I can't believe I ate 1/4 of a goose on my own! -there is a queue but it's normal -they run out of goose quick! -reserve a goose ASAP if you can -don't forget to get a ticketed number BEFORE waiting in line -come for the goose and nothing else -comes with plum sauce :) read more
