Yet, I love A Plus Kitchen for their semi-diverse menu, quality execution, and overall good service. I find myself coming here time and time again with little to no disappointment. English names and Chinese ones almost never correlate in other countries, but I don't find this to be much of an occurrence in HK. A Plus Kitchen is really 讚記 (or Chan Kee) but what's in a name really? An easier moniker for the nearby tourists means there is a likelihood for more businesses. Yet, I don't ever really see many tourists here if at all. If it makes a difference, the menus are in English and Chinese. I do appreciate their breakfast options for being plentiful and affordable, but their dinner hour is where it's at. Unlike a lot of HK cafes out there that only do the usual HK style western breakfast + noodle / rice options for lunch and dinner, APK steps it up with a full fledged menu full of Canto classics like water spinach with chilis and tofu (椒絲腐乳通菜) or white chopped chicken (白切雞). I am usually here for their fish tofu claypot (班腩豆腐煲) and shrimp with egg (蝦仁炒蛋). The dinner set comes with rice and choice of drink, which ranges somewhere between $59-78HKD. The evenings are packed full of people every night. They don't include a service charge in their prices and it is strictly cash only.

Tsui Wah is a chain that is peppered throughout Hong Kong and Kowloon and is one of the most reliable places in town; there is something for everyone here. Even though my relatives laugh at me when I say this is one of my favorite places in HK, I have to say, I really appreciate that this place is welcoming of all people, especially us foreigners. The entire menu is in Chinese and English with pictures of all of the items.This means anyone and everyone can come in and taste iconic Hong Kong dishes and not be intimidated. There is something to be said about that. The time of day is irrelevant here, the menu remains the same all day and you can order whatever you want, whenever you want. The most important thing to get here is the milk tea, it is iconic HK and the TW version is one of the best. The hot version comes in a signature TW cup (which I wish they sold, I really want one!). If you're feeling fancy, you can even order it in a champagne-like bottle, appropriately set in a bucket of ice. Their other iconic item on the menu is the pineapple bun (bolo bao) with a thick slice of butter, which comes out nice and hot so the edges of the butter start to melt... mmm! My favorites are the fish ball vermicelli noodle soups w/tom yum soup base, thick toast with butter & condensed milk, their signature chow mein (a perfect mix of savory gravy soaked noodles and nest of crispy edges, they do it well here), baked spaghetti bolognese, and their sizzling combo meat platter (which my sister has referred to as the viking platter due to the pile of meat). If there are too many options and you can't decide, the first two pages show you all of their bestsellers so choose from there and you are good to go. On occasion, they do change and update their menu items but the staples are always there. Almost everything is under $100 HKD (the sizzling platters are just above $100 HKD) and even if you order a dish + drink, you'll still be under $100 HKD. They previously only accepted cash & octopus cards, but now accept credit cards. The staff at this location deserves five stars! There can often be a line outside the door, but they can get people in/out pretty fast, even the food comes out really fast. We always ask for a booth and they are happy to have us stand aside to let others get seated first while we wait for a a booth. Whenever I try to order, they patiently accept my limited Cantonese, pointing at the menu, googling pictures of what I mean to say on my phone, hand gestures and requests for no bean sprouts. Hey, I try my best! And they do not judge me, so thank you! If you are ordering to-go and they notice you've been waiting for awhile, they will come check your ticket number and follow up w/the status of your order. Really nice people here. Perfect for a late night bite or cheap eats all over town.

I have always gone to the Tsui Wah in Central because it was a great place to stop by for a snack…read moreafter a marathon shopping jaunt at the cut label stores. This one was new to me and I went there to meet a dear friend and her husband from Singapore who was in town. I don't eat fish noodle soup in the US so of course I had to order it at Tsui Wah. We also ordered an extra bowl of just fish balls and fish cake. Noodles were slightly soft, not soggy and fish balls were good. My friend and her husband was craving wontons in chili oil and braised beef with tendons and okra. They really enjoyed their dishes. Everything we ordered was good, but I'm docking off a star for the servers in the restaurant (who weren't Chinese BTW and we weren't sure whether to speak in Chinese or English?). Just to get someone to take our order was a huge undertaking in waving them down, trying not to get enraged from their piss-and-vinegar faces. :(

Some would call this the upscale version of Denny's (for my fellow Americans out there), but the only real comparison is that it's a chain. The food here is legit. All the HK cafe staples you'd need and want. And then some. Staff is okay. Nothing terribly rude, as you'd expect from any Chinese restaurant. There's English and photos throughout the menu, so that was extremely helpful. We ordered the Shrimp Wonton Noodle Soup in Fish Broth and Scrambled Egg with Sea Bass Chow Fun. And man, both were amazingly delish. Color me impressed. The fish broth was def coming through. The wontons were packed with the shrimp. The sea bass was fresh. The chow fun had the right amount of seasoning. The hot sauce on the side gave the perfect amount of kick I was seeking. And both dishes came out to $17USD. Pretty standard pricing. As for the one star knock down, it's due to the limited breakfast menu. We were so excited from delish midnight snack, that we came back for breakfast two days later. Unfortunately, before 10:30am, there's only four meal options. None of which I could eat. 4 stars

Their menu offers a very good deal for breakfast sets at a good price considering the individual items would total more. The food comes very fast, and service is very prompt with getting your order and the bill as you can treat this place as more of a quick meal rather than dining. The portion of food is fairly big and I could never finish everything myself. Generally I find most of the dishes are pretty flavorful, but the must have is the traditional Hong Kong milk tea. There is a good taste of tea behind which makes it pretty rich tasting. However, for the cold version, I find it a bit sweeter. We are usually very full and yet don't need to hurt our wallets too much haha.

This review is only for the pineapple bun…read more I do not recommend. On multiple, multiple food review sites writing about the best pineapple bun in HK, Kam Fung made the list. Happened to be in wan chai today so why not- We got take out for two buns- one with butter and one without. But even before opening the package we knew something was wrong. Each bun was wrapped in plastic, but was so extremely heavy. How could a bun be so heavy? Opening it and taking a bite - it's like chewy raw dough. I'm not sure if it was really raw, but that's what it felt like. I couldn't finish it. I didn't even want to take a second bite, really. I'm actually very surprised at the good reviews on the bun here. Its one of the few times that Google reviews are more fair and accurate than Yelp reviews for me. Don't trust the lists!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't get this bun!!!!

This Cha Chaan Teng is really for old school HK'ers. I was not a fan of any of their "baos"…read more.. Their milk tea was not great either. It didn't have the milk tea flavor... Perhaps it's just not for my kind of tastebud... my younger son liked his macaroni in soup. My older one did not like his "bor lor yao"... which is the pineapple bun with a thick piece of butter... all the baos were very dense... and not fluffy like other ones we've tried. The only saving grace - the Chicken Pie! It's crusty and flavorful. Anyway, small shop, a few tables and you will be sharing with strangers if you're solo. They do pour the left over soups into a bucket right underneath your seats... so not quite sanitary... but you'll live. Bring lots of wet naps. Cash Only.
