This time it was hot, humid, and rainy around 11:20 am and our party of 4 was able to get a table easily though it was crowded again once we were finished. This place is so famous we saw people come straight from the airport with all their luggage! Portions are very good and probably too small for most people but I loved the size. Goose and Soy Sauce Chicken: They are most known for their roast goose which has a complex and layered seasoning different than other HK roast duck/goose places. This is my go to dish, this time it tasted great but my portion of goose was super small and I split it with a friend to not get too full so it was even smaller. We also ordered the same dish with noodles and roast pork with soy chicken, both the people who had this never had Yat Lok before and totally cleared their plates, don't forget to mix each bite with some of the oil scorched green onions!

Our server was a charismatic older gentleman who was able to give us recommendations. I felt like I was in those old-timey, classic-style Hong Kong diners. Thinking back to this restaurant is making me emotional for some reason. I have nostalgia for a place that I won't be able to go back to for a while. I always am a fiend for goose on rice because of how difficult it is to find outside of Hong Kong, especially in the U.S. I also ordered an almond drink because of my sweet tooth and need for warm beverages that are also hard to find outside of Hong Kong. Ask for an English menu if you can't read Chinese.

Wah wah wah! Another hidden gem!…read more The food here is so good and there's quite a few unique dishes!! Seafood is very fresh and tasty. The deep fried tofu is bomb! Super silky and smooth, without a chewy skin. The salted egg yolk shrimps are coated evenly and the shells are edible! The mantis prawns are very juicy and fresh. I also loved the clams soup and the pork chops! Must haves: salted egg yolk shrimps, deep fried tofu, and mantis prawns. Prices are also very fair. Probably even cheaper than many other places that aren't as good! I saw a few michelin signs on the walls, but I'm not sure if it's referring to them or the alcohol they're promoting. But I do think their food is good enough to be Michelin!! It is quite a busy place so be sure to book a reservation!

On the track of looking into the sik siu culture in the university, similar cultures are also…read moreobserved in the dance community, but instead of going to places every time after rehearsals, the more legit reason for dancers to pig out would be after shows and performance. Also known as "Hing Gung" (慶功), it literally means to celebrate and to reward the hard work the crew put into the show. Much like sik siu, since the eaters are of high exertion, the food would most naturally be as trashy as can be~ Healthy eaters might want to hit the return button now as the foods may be despicably fattening. Deep fried is almost the golden rule for every trashy food, even in Hong Kong; the famous shrimp toast is actually minced shrimp smeared on a piece of bread and deep fried to crunchy perfection; and you got it, the piece of bread is soaked with grease. To make it even more damaging, mayonnaise is served on the side for you to dip the toast in. Damaging as it seems, but it is also very gratifying and is often the dish that is cleared the soonest. Hing Gung is often an event of the nights and there aren't a lot of joint cater to this batch of customers at this time of the day. I still remember walking into this shop with the waiter asking us to wait outside the shop at 11 in the evening, while they were trying hard to rearrange the tables to sit the 15 of us down. For a restaurant that is still crowded towards midnight, you know they must have done something right.

The food also all sucked. We ordered fish that they told us was Chilean sea bass that was not and looked nothing like the picture. The soup dumplings and pan fried buns were flavorless and tiny for the price. The stir fried vegetables came in alfredo sauce and was inedible, we didn't even eat it. Only thing okay was duck. Nobody should ever come to this restaurant it is a scam and sucked. Place should be closed down.

Empire City Roasted Duck gave us splendid service and took care of us so much that I was a little in shock with how much I love and want to go back here when I'm in Hong Kong. I know that seems so weird to be eating duck in Hong Kong but I mean I eat duck in California here so why not in Hong Kong too! We waited a few minutes before the store opened for dinner, and there was already about 15 people outside also waiting for them to open. Once we told the from person that it was for three people and we didn't make a reservation they still sat us down quite quickly. The duck and food here is so good and at the time they were having a Chinese New Year special so we ordered that. The duck soup is so tasty and so is the duck. Overall it was a super duper great experience and I want to come back for sure. Tip- Call in and make a reservation if it's for a weekend because they actually will be full of people. I came on a weekday and it was pretty busy so I can imagine that the weekend is packed.

It looked more like a take out kind of place but we saw tables in the back and started to enter the shop, but the floor was so greasy, we were seriously thinking about making a 180° and skip this place. I don't know if it was the look on our faces or that we were a bit better dressed then the uncles in their white tanks with legs propped up on stools or what, but the kind lady proprietor suggested we eat at their "nicer atmosphere" dining room a few doors down. The dining room greeted us with nice A/C and floors our shoes had better grip on. The food is ordered here and they will prepare the soup, noodles, drinks, etc. but all the siu mei still comes over from the other shop. The roasted meats we're tender and tasty, no lie. I'd say even skip all those starchy fillers and go straight for the roasted proteins. The portions here are very generous and we felt a little guilty leaving some pieces uneaten. Hong Kong definitely has no shortage of siu me shops and I'm glad the tasties they offer remain classic and unchanged. Looking forward to finding new gems.

The set menu is slightly cheaper, but the perks is that you can order drinks at discounted price! Their soy milk drink taste really good and it is at only $5 (as compared to $15 regular price) if you have the set menu items. We tried both types of wontons and we prefer the one with wood ear more. We also tried their beef tendon, which is huge portion and taste pretty good. I will definitely return next time when I visit!
