This restaurant on Tung Choi Street seemed pretty promising with the displays of their menu…read moreadvertising the many different specialty noodle soups that they had. After eating so much street food, vendor food, and night market food, we all agreed that a place with more "pure" ingredients would be better for lunch. There really are a ton of selections offered from their menu. You can have rice or noodle soup, your soup can be dry or in a broth, you can have different types of seafood balls, chicken wings, beef brisket, you can choose the type of noodle you want, etc. The possibilities are endless. Prices are also fairly cheap. A bowl of soup is around $28 HKD which is about $4 USD. I think that's a steal! I ordered the beef ball noodle soup with thicker rice noodles. The broth was really clear, and the overall dish was what I needed to combat my unhealthy meals from the days before. There were 5 beef balls in the soup and a ton of cilantro thrown on top, which I loved. Noodles were cooked on point - slightly chewy. Beef balls had that resilient bite to them - overall a really solid dish. My mom ordered her pork knuckle soup with thicker rice noodles and was disappointed that the soup was tomato based. Apparently many restaurants in HK like using tomato based soups/sauces when cooking with pork knuckle, something I am not accustomed to. Overall the dish wasn't bad, but my mom wasn't a fan of the soup because of the tomato taste and the amount of oil in it. The pork knuckle also was cooked in tomato broth, so it definitely didn't have the taste she was looking for. A pass on this dish. The soup noodle with fish ball - very similar to the beef ball soup, except that instead of beef balls, the dish had different types of fish balls. Soup was exactly the same as mine. If you're not a fan of beef balls and more into the seafood combination, I'd recommend this dish since you get to try more of a variety of toppings. Chicken wings with rice - this dish required a few extra minutes to cook since they actually cook the wings right then and there upon ordering. I thought it tasted pretty good. The dish had 3-4 chicken wings on it along with an egg. There was a good amount of rice as well as soy sauce drizzled on top of the rice, giving it enough flavor to eat if you happened to finish all of the wings. My sister thought the wings were really good - slightly crispy, but still juicy on the inside. And we ordered steamed vegetables, just to maintain our healthy lunch meal. The vegetables were not special, but tasted fine. Because the dishes didn't have any vegetables in them, it was a really smart idea that we got this on the side. Restaurant itself is fairly big with a ton of tables and booths inside. You pretty much seat yourself and the waitress will take your order when you're ready. And when you're finished, you pay at the front. Since the food comes out pretty fast, I don't expect that you'll have to wait since people seem to come in and out in under 30 minutes. tl;dr - Decent place for healthy food. A must if you love noodles and fish balls!

The food is pretty safe and the staff is very helpful. We liked the shrimp noodle bowl the best. We also got pork dumplings but they didn't have as much flavor as the shrimp. We also got a fried noodle. You will want to ask for silverware, otherwise you use chopsticks in a drawer under the table. They serve hot water. We got a coffee, and it smelled good, but isn't what you'd think about traditional coffee. It automatically comes with creamer. The food comes out super quick! Our lunch for 3 was $131 HKD, about $20 USD.

Their specialty set comes with a little guide, which I recommend following but you can always go your own way. My favorite ones were the crab roe and luffa gourd (surprisingly). Definitely some unique flavors offered here especially cheese and foie gras. On top of the XLBs we also ordered deep fried mandarin fish, spicy sliced beef and tripe, and pork and crab roe pot stickers. The fried Mandarin fish came out promptly which was weird. I'd expect that to be dead last.. a little suspicious but fish tasted fine. Overall, thought this was a pretty decent spot. Food was good. Service was quick and polite. I recommend using Eatigo to book for discounts! Visa and Mastercard accepted! RIP Amex.

Everyone wants the Dai Pai Dong experience, so who can blame visitors of the Temple Street Market…read morefor wanting to take part in a place like Tong Tai? 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 two things that stuck out the most within the food, specifically how salty and how expensive everything was. Our list of dishes included: Yeung Chow Fried Rice (揚州炒飯), Black Bean Clams (豉椒炒蜆), Salt and Pepper Fried Fish (椒鹽魚片), Shrimp w/ Eggs (蝦仁炒蛋), Tea Egg + Tofu (茶葉蛋豆腐), and Mantis "Pissing" Shrimp (攋尿蝦). 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. Perhaps next time (if there even is one), that'll be the route I choose when I feel like people watching and drinking along Temple Street.

Again, I would definitely recommend this place if you don't mind traveling and are looking for a place to accommodate a larger group.

We had many staff ask after our order but we took a very long time to choose. One of the staff eventually advised us on their best and most popular meals and we ordered the soft shell crab salad, the grilled beef salad and the crispy whole snapper. The food was DELICIOUS. I'm not a crazy fan of Indonesian food or at least I thought I wasn't but the meat was soft and succulent and the sauces and all the ingredients were just divine. Thinking about it is making my mouth water. Service was very attentive and gracious and most importantly the music was perfect. Admittedly probably my taste but more important than that, at least last Friday, was that it wasn't too loud and overpowering. I could have a nice conversation with my husband without having to shout but still had the pleasant ambience of good music playing in the background. I can't imagine it would be too pleasant a meal if the ambience as well as the food hadn't been so perfect.

Relatively reasonably priced cocktails, plenty of vegetarian options and a chic space - the place was good. The drinks and the food, both impressive. The pomelo salad with lime leaf, banana blossom, cucumber and Vietnamese mint was nice and refreshing. The Vietnamese mint has something extra to it, that I quite like. The banana blossoms added that earthiness. Thai dry yellow curry of minced impossible meat with lemongrass was a hit. You could wrap that up in the lettuce cups they served, but I happily ate it without it (because coronavirus and I preferred not to use my hands). Saag burrata - the palak paneer or saag paneer, with burrata instead of paneer was very well executed. Pad thai tasted good, but could've been saucier, if I may. The red curry with pumpkin, tofu, long beans and okra hit the spot on taste and creaminess. The moong dal palak tadka - Indian lentils, while good weren't as great as I can prepare at home. (Yeah, modesty goes for a toss :p) The nasi goreng is hard to mess up and was decent. The only disappointment on the food was stir-fried okra. It didn't taste or look stir-fried and was very raw. If it were just the hubster and I, I would've probably have it re-done.  The drinks were refreshing and tasted well. I had one Hot Mama -gin, ginger, chili and homemade ginger beer with dried citrus fruit. This was followed by a Lemon Chilli Martini - vodka, limoncello, pink grapefruit and lemongrass syrup with chilli and again, dried citrus fruit.  The hubster had a Pineapple Kaffir Lime Margarita - tequila, triple sec, pineapple juice and kaffir lime leaves with a dried slice of pineapple.  After a quiet dinner, it was quite a task to get the children to wrap up and get home.  Pictures on the blog - thevegetarianvoyager
