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.

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!

I've been eating at this place since 2004 and the char siu is always good. I personally prefer it…read moreto Joy Hing, as the char siu is better and this place includes vegetables and a drink (can coke/tea or soup) with your order. The soup is really good - for tourists, don't freak out if you find bits of chicken feet in bottom of the bowl. You don't have to eat them and its all been cooked down to create the great flavours in the soup. Finally, one additional perk of this place is you can get the food for takeaway and cross the street to Southhorn Playground to watch the weeknight 7-a-side football games, and perhaps learn a few choice words of Cantonese when a player shoots off target ;)

You might find yourself here if you are on the way to the airport and have decided to stop to shop…read moreat Citygate outlet mall, or better yet, have just come back from a trip up to see the Big Buddha. This is probably one of the better places to get food in the immediate vicinity, and is also a very fun place to walk around. It's very manageable, while having a variety of food vendors, ranging from the ordinary HK fare to the extraordinary (I would describe one of the stalls as selling post-modern kimchi). I got a claypot rice with chicken feet and pork ribs (though there was no clay pot). There was nowhere to sit, so I went not too far outside and found a concrete stoop to sit on. It was good, cheap, and filling.

I heard that they only roast 3 times a day and that's when you can get the best cuts. Otherwise you get the mediocre cuts. I ate in and ordered the 3 meats - duck, suckling pig, cha siu. The cha siu was 80% fat and had a big tendon across it. The suckling pig had super thick meat and the skin was more towards the burnt side. The duck was dry. I also don't see them advertise for the special cha siu cuts like 一片天，三粒叉，第一刀 so maybe it's a secret menu for the people in the know.

This really unassuming roast meat shop is considered to have one of the best char siu in Hong Kong…read more Chai wan is not a place you would visit unless you live in the area, which is a good thing as the lines are reasonable and the prices aren't inflated. There is limited seating so it's best to come in a small group or do take away. Food: 4 stars Value: 4.5 stars Overall: 4.25 stars Recommendations: char siu, goose, duck leg It is definitely one of the better versions I have had and is comparable to the more high end iberico pork versions served in the Michelin restaurants. The char siu is not sweet at all and you get that nice touch of sweetness from the dipping sauce which is very good here. The consistency is not as thick as most places and has the right level of sweetness. I also had the duck leg here and that was also great. For a place with this type of reputation the price point is quite low. Usually when places in HK have a following the prices are at sit down restaurant levels. So I would be dissuaded by the fact that the price is slightly higher than in the cooked food center. Next time I do want to try the suckling pig.

I have been coming to this restaurant ever since I was little and it has never disappointed…read more There are other restaurants that sells the same famous roasted goose dish but none of them beats this one so don't get fooled when they tell you they are the best. The goose is roasted to a golden color. You can order it whole, or half, or a quarter. It literally melts in your mouth and the meat is very tender and juicy; I'm sure you'd want to reach for another piece before you finish the one. If you are adventurous enough, try their goose intestines with soy sauce. I know it sounds gross but try it with open mind and you'll be surprised. There're many other traditional Cantonese dishes and just order away because it's very affordable and tasty.

Located in the new territory of Hong Kong…read more This institution is well known for their signature roast goose. There is a private parking lot that they will validate with your meal purchase. The staff is very rushed with the volume of customers to the degree of being rude. The staff is very gossipy and will talk of customers that they feel not understand in the area. They will also rush you out once you put down your chopsticks to get the next round of customers in... definitely not a relaxing environment for a family meal or date night. The area has the nostalgic feel as there has been very little renovations to update the feel. The seating is spacious but does fill up quickly with the volumes of tourists looking to sample their goods. We ordered a few dishes but the main star - Roast goose fell flat on its face. The goose was DRY and very tough (read - chewy). There was very little taste even with the generous duck Au jus on the plate. For all the hype, I am not really sure what I was supposed to ooh and ahh about... I will give them credit of crispy skin... but I am not here for Peking duck. Pack your explanations away when visiting this famed establishment to save the eventual disappointment of food and rudeness of the staff.
