The pork cutlets were fried very nicely - juicy meat wrapped in a light crispy layer of panko! The sauce was also very solid and not too sour or sweet. You also get to grind up sesame to add to your sauce which gives it another layer! Each meal comes with cabbage and miso soup with free refills! Love how the cabbage was sliced so finely and I very much enjoyed it when paired with the Japanese sesame salad sauce. Their pickled daikon and vegetables were quite tasty too. The store resembles Japanese stores and it tucked underground. Service was standard but still pretty good!

Couple the fact they're located on one of the highest floors of iSQUARE (#1), this means one can enjoy their food and a view at the same time. Let's start with the dim sum. It's all very good. I have to give them kudos for high quality renditions of spring rolls, egg tarts, rice noodles crepes, shrimp dumplings, Malay sponge cake, and number of other items. The tea is good as well and for the most part, everything is high quality. Speaking of quality, the hot pot presentation is definitely IG worthy. More importantly, the broth for the Chinese herbal and mala were very clear and full of flavor. Sure, their a la carte ingredients are a tad spendy and somewhat portion challenged, it is still completely legit. Reservations are always recommended at places like this. There is no hard dress code per se, but I wouldn't recommend coming here dressed terribly. Service is always very good and super courteous. I would highly recommend coming here in a group because hot pot and dim sum are best enjoyed with others. ____________ (#1) A beastly mall in TST: http://www.yelp.com/biz/ECraV3C99IfQIrE_hCB9Ng

So if this is your first time visiting HK, this would be an ideal place to check out a local dim sum favorite as well as one of the most amazing harbor views in the World - something that you cannot find in North America. Ho Choi, literally translated as good luck, has every characteristic of an old-school traditional and superstitious Chinese name. It's more of a local gem rather than a tourist trap - such as those Chinese restaurants located in the Four Seasons or Ritz Carlton. Here, you'll enjoy tasty dim sums while rubbing elbows with local folks and a staff that speaks limited but enough English. Prices are moderate and reasonable for a restaurant that is at a somewhat upscale area. The basic staples such as har gow, siu mai, pork spare ribs, etc. were really good, albeit not outstanding. However, one dish was absolutely amazing and memorable: FRIED BEAN CURD ROLL IN TOMATO & EGG SOUP. The bean curd wrap was thin and was fried to a crispy perfection. The filling was soft, moist, and yummy. The rolls were dipped in a thick and delicious tomato & eggs soup which was close to heavenly even by Hong Kong's high standard. I will definitely order this dish again the next time I'm there.

On top of that, it's Dim Sum with a view; a beautiful one of the HK skyline. Situated at the top of the Empire Centre, this banquet hall serves as an ideal spot for all occasions big and small. The prices are reasonable; somewhere between 20-38HKD for each dish. Want a better deal? Shoot for the early bird special before 10:30am for 15 HKD or less select dishes. Plus, the food is fresher and the crowd rush is non existent. While I haven't seen a ton of tourists here (hello locals!), it should be noted there are no carts here. It's all a la carte style and be assured there is a limited English menu available. The selection is pretty stellar and more importantly, the food is tasty. The special shrimp rice noodle (鮮蝦腸粉) is beautifully presented, in bite size snippets served with whole shrimps in each fold. Same bodes for the har gau shrimp dumplings (蝦餃), which may seem a bit minuscule, but pack a decent amount of flavor. Kudos to their dumpling soup ((灌湯餃) for not being overly salty, and sporting a super silky dumpling everyone can get behind. Regular siu mai (燒賣) is readily available, but I would vote for any extra dollars for the super version in the emerald mushroom version (翡翠北菇燒賣). I admit to not being a fan of Malay sponge cake (馬拉糕) but I rather appreciate Ho Choi's soft and squishy version. Turns out I'm just not a fan of dry, less fluffy versions. Their haam seoi gok (鹹水角) is one of the better versions I've sampled, at least before noon. Anytime after that, it becomes like the rest of the subpar set from Dim Sum land. I really enjoyed their sticky rice (糯米飯), which is abundant in Chinese sausage (臘腸), which will ultimately win me over any day. No dim sum experience is complete without egg tarts (蛋撻) but I reckon the lao sa bao (流沙包) is the ultimate sweet treat. Living up to its "flowing sand" name, it is a steamed, fluffy, bao of magic runny sweet egg custard. When done well, it is a highlight as much as any, and one that I look forward to each time I'm at Ho Choi in TST. I haven't been around to try their dinner as of yet, but if it's anything like their Dim Sum hour, I'm sure to be in for a treat.

They're conveniently located on Temple, loaded with fresh seafood swimming in buckets / tubs, and semi-aggressive wait staff recruiting tourists by the handful to take part in the outdoor communal Chinese food experience.

The most underwhelming was the pissing shrimp, which a little meat and a lot of shells. When our bill ($780HKD) came out, there was a little bit of sticker shock. Not all is terrible. Despite the greasy and salty food, they were constantly coming back to make sure we had what we needed. There was no shortage of help and they took our feedback well, but chuckled when we noted the salt (Could it really have been MSG?). They have a bunch of tables and the turnover is quick enough to where even waiting isn't a big deal. Heck, there's even unlimited napkins here. Any HK'er would surely appreciate that. Anyone who is looking to drink will surely have it here -- there are beer girls walking around looking to sell by the bottle or by the bucket.
