Is a more affordable option in the area. Taste pretty good. Feels very local. Unpopular dish that I personally like, ox tongue pasta. Good thickness of the tongue and it's pretty cheap compare to some dishes Also love their lunch sets. Good value because you get to have soup, entree and a drink. read more

This is where you go after you party in LKF. Open 24/7, making fantastic and affordable food faster than I could ever imagine, Tsui Wah may be the most pleasant surprise I've had in Hong Kong. No booze here - walk one block if you haven't had enough of that. They do make a fantastic HK milk tea, though. A thick Malaysian Curry is full of chunky beef, and I love the soft tendon. A casserole of fried pork chop with tomato sauce and cheese is like chicken parm for Asians. And the Asians did it better. The Hainan Chicken is great, though they don't make the garlic rice. Now for the best food in Hong Kong: Bread with condensed milk and butter. It tastes like it sounds, and it sounds pretty whatever, but it's indescribably delicious. Less $50 USD to feed three hungry people, and the food comes out instantly. There's less than ten minutes between ordering and arrival, and each dish is awesome. If I'd known the HK diner food was this good, I could have skipped all the Michelins. read more

Times have been good, if not great for Tsui Wah in Central. As one of the only 24 hour establishments in a city, this late night spot has been the most popular location in the Tsui Wah umbrella. It has long been considered the flagship establishment via the Lan Kwai Fong effect to elevate the brand to IPO status, becoming the most famous Hong Kong Style Cafe brand in the world. In just over 15 months, the transformation of Tsui Wah of yesteryear into Tsui Wah 2.0 has resulted in semi-inflated prices, a serious facelift on the interior, and its very own "exclusive" menu catered to the non-local crowd. For a brand that has been around for the better part of 50 years, it's safe to say they've come a long way. At one point in time, it was either this or McDonalds (https://www.yelp.com/biz/麥當勞-香港-184). Without a doubt, Tsui Wah comes out on top. There are two floors of booths galore, a shiny interior primed for group dining and a robust stuff to keep the drunks in line. Bathrooms are even clean, which is a serious win for any place located near LKF. For the most part, the food is solid. It might not hold a candle to some of the other cha chan tangs or even other Tsui Wahs, but none of them are nearby or open at 4:30am. The noodle dishes (dry or soup) are probably the best bet for the intoxicated, though the menu sports a lot of interesting western options (club sandwiches, steaks, paninis, and pastas, etc.) that may strike the comfort fancy of others. Rice and noodles are a staple for a reason, not just for regional variety. Sober or not, an iced milk tea with a buttered, condensed milk slathered toast will always be my meal of choice here. Maybe some wonton noodles with fish balls / beef brisket isn't such a bad idea either. In the end, I (and along with many others) am here for the convenience much more so than the food. And they now accept credit cards and have WiFi. Gentrification, complete. read more

Out of all of the things we ordered the fried fish was the best. The noodle soup wasn't that great, service wasn't on the ball. Eggs undercooked. Next time I need to check Yelp reviews before trying out. Was disappointed. read more

Come here after a night out in LKF because it's open 24/7, accommodates large groups, is cheap, has a wide selection, and is conveniently located. Don't come here if you've got other options expecting a great meal. The fish ball and fish cake fish noodle soup (ffffff) was a great way to end the night. By 230am they had run out of a few dry noodle options. read more

翠華餐廳 - Fish ball and fish cake with wide rice noodles in fish soup only HK37 (less than USD$5) - Hong Kong Style Cafe Near Me - Hong Kong, HK

One of my go to places to eat when I'm in Hong Kong. It's cheap and the food is good. I'm sure there are plenty of other good restaurants in Hong Kong but for a quick / fast meal, I recommend Tsui Wah. And they are all over in Hong Kong. If you can't get to this location, go to the one nearest you. Plenty of selections to choose from so if you go with a group of friends, you can just order your own meal to satisfy your craving. I have had their Fishball with rice noodle soup; the fishballs were not fishy and had a good texture. Also ordered this fatty beef with ramen -- this is really good. Just hits the spot when you're super hungry. It's flavorful and the beef is super soft cuz of the fats. I would recommend this. However if you're not a fan of fatty meat, forget it. For those who don't know how to read Chinese, don't worry, the menu is also in English. One may say that Tsui Wah is whatever, but for me from California, which I rarely get these type of food, I think it's good and satisfying. I wish Tsui Wah exists in CA. As one of the yelpers have said this is the "Denny's" of Hong Kong - I couldn't agree with him more. But I think this is 10x better than Denny's - hands down. read more

O Tsui Wah, the eternal rock of the drunk and the wasted. This place is to Lkf partiers what the taco truck or pho places are to Americans. Simple, reliable comfort food. I give them a four star not entirely based on the quality of their food. I have been here more times than I can remember and indeed, most times I am usually too blacked out to remember anyways. But Tsui Wah is always available and it's location makes it a perfect recovery spot for those friends that are too heavy to carry home. Even at their most devastated state, my friends will still manage to murmur a weak " satay beef noodle, with egg please", while face down on the table. And every time, be it satay beef noodles or fish ball noodles, Tsui Wah quickly delivers exactly what you expect - even the number of fish balls are exactly the same every time, Henry Ford would be proud. Reliability and consistency, this is what catapulted Tsui Wah from a typical late night grub spot to a listed company - yes they are listed on the Hk stock exchange (1314.hk). This is not Michelin quality food, but it hits the spot and is always there for you, 24/7. Just try to avoid the bathroom at night, unless you need to throw up. Chances are, you won't be the first. read more

Used to be a legit good place, 24/7/365, good local food and cheap price. Sounds like a good friend you've known in your teens, always be there and never complain. 4am on Saturday? No worries, Tsui Wah is here. It gives you the extra perks of being extra bright and light up, so you can have your final check to your new-made friends, before you decide if they look the same as they were in the club. Now it has all changed. Always packed with three floors of tourists. Mind you, it's not just mainland Chinese tourists now. Korean are the new force in town. If you spot anyone taking pictures in front of Tsui Wah, good chance they are Korean visitors. Just don't block the front door, bitte. Food is alright, but now overpriced by a mile. Doesn't help much to be a listed company now, huh? Well, it doesn't matter what people say, and we will still come here from time to time right? Maybe that's the charm of Tsui Wah. read more

Let me start by saying I am from California. If you are also from the states, you will probably understand the culture shock that some tradional Asian breakfasts can bring. Most of us Westerners aren't accustomed to a savory hot soup for breakfast. If that describes you, and yet you still want to try something new, you may want to order the continental breakfast. It's an Asian spin on a few things you will be familiar with. The fish was delicious and crispy with a golden panko crust. The scrambled eggs were soft set, but still fully cooked. Heaping some eggs in the toasted, buttered bun and drizzling chili oil atop was a nice combination. The baked beans on the side were served cold, a little odd for us, but still edible. A sweet mayo condiments was served along side. I added some chili to this and used this sparingly with my fish. One of my favorite bites was actually a sip. The coffee was rich and creamy. Like 300 calories of condensed milk added to it. Yummy! If you are like our group, avoid the 4 breakfast soups as they are not likely to appeal to you. One of our party ordered squid ham macaroni soup. It was NOT enticing to our Western eyes. In addition he got a sausage and two Sunnyside up eggs. The eggs were severely undercooked with the whites still being translucent. AVOID! Also, the service was quite inattentive. Definitely have to wave or speak up whenever you want something. The aforementioned tried didn't receive his food until 20 minutes after we received ours. All-in-all this place was a mixed bag for us. Some highs, some lows. Probably would try a different restaurant next time, perhaps the crepe place a few doors down. read more

Good old reliable Tsui Wah is the place most people end their nights after a night out in LKF. Fishball noodle soup and pork soft cartilage noodle soups are old favourites. So here I was at 3.30am Sunday morning with the usual crowd of drunkards and hungry folk thinking of what to order. Their menu selection is ordinarily extensive but by this time of night noodles only. The later you arrive, the less they have. So I went to their famous condense milk and butter crispy buns where there may be more butter than bun. Their dry egg noodles are quite good so got a spicy pork on dried noodles which also came with wonton soup. Great meal and can't complain for a 4am feed. If you come at lunch/dinner (aka normal eating times), again it's a very local hangout. Must try their chicken wings, hainan chicken is pretty good for a HK cafe and you can even get steak! read more

2/5 Stars--please note, this is strictly based on milk tea, not food. According to my friend, who studied abroad here, she took us to this place that serves "authentic" Hong Kong milk tea. Honestly, the milk tea was just blah--nothing special. To me, it tasted like condense milk with black tea. It was actually pricey IMHO. For a small cup (2/3 size of an American boba milk tea cup), I believe it was $3US. Another pass! Will not be back! read more

I've always loved the food at Tsui Wah! My boyfriend and I came here in the morning, which wasn't as busy as we've expected. My friend told me Tsui Wah has become a tourist trap but I don't think so - I liked it :P! Service was excellent. DRINKS: Hong Kong style milk tea SATAY BEEF w/ INSTANT NOODLE SOUP (4/5) (with scrambled eggs and buttered crispy bun) The satay beef noodles and the scrambled eggs were really good! I opted for the crispy bun because I thought it was 豬仔包 but it turned out to be a wheat bun lol. CRISPY FISH FILLET (4/5) (with scrambled eggs, beans and buttered crispy bun) Mm! The fish fillet was delicious! Crispy on the outside and soft in the inside - what you would ask for in a fish fillet :) read more

Wow is place is open 24 hrs yes it's a pretty extended menu but went with the house favorite the fish ball soup with rice noodles and I thought that this was such a nice lite and super delicious dish it's o e of the top favorites the rave about and its a must stop In Hong Kong. It's hard and first to get served they are a little pushy and not Very friendly to Americans but both the stop for the soup. read more

If you have ever wanted to eat like a Hong Konger, but have been to afraid of those "cha chaan teng" restaurants to do so, then I would recommend you try Tsui Wah as a gentle introduction to HK style food. What you have here, is easy access to a number of HK specialities; sandwiches made with the whitest most unhealthy bread, tea brewed triple strength with lashings of condensed milk, and the liberal use of cheese baked on top of a variety of fish and rice. OK, I joke a little, but this is basically HK food! Tsui Wah does do a good range of local and "continental" dishes, at a very low price. I'm a fan of the grill plates, which for around HKD80, you get chicken, pork and beef steaks on a cast iron skillet, brought sizzling to your table (be careful pouring the gravy, it boils the second it hits the skillet, and you will splatter yourself and fellow diners with Bisto). I also like their excellent range of Malaysian curries, traditional "ho fun" flat noodles, and the afore mentioned seafood rice bakes. Also very popular (but unfortunately not my taste) is the bowls of noodles and soup, with different toppings; fish balls, dumplings, satay beef - it goes on and there is plenty to chose from. Most dishes cost around HKD60-70, I don't think there is anything above HKD80 on their menu. For an introduction to the "cha chaan teng", I would come here first before hanging out where the cabbies eat. The menu has English, and extensive use of photographs. Most of the staff, whilst not particularly good at English, have passable language skills to get by. The environment is garish and neon, but this serves well to distract you from the state of the floors, walls and cutlery. In fairness, these aren't bad, but Amber this is not! Go visit, and tell your mates at home you went "full local" - we won't tell if you don't... read more

翠華餐廳 - Hong Kong Style Cafe Near Me - Hong Kong, HK

Ambiance/decor-2 Service-2 Food-4 Strikeouts-1/3 For a chain restaurant, this place was not kept up to standards. Despite renovations, this place was just as dirty as the family owned businesses where you would expect not a clean table. Service was on barely on par, not too slow, and maybe a bit of miscommunications in ordering. Nothing special what so ever. Ordered the traditional hainanese chicken, which I thought was delicious, but I was told that the chicken here is pretty mediocre. I guess Toronto just sucks at making a good hainanese chicken dish. Especially with the rice. I was overall satisfied, especially for the bang for buck. This place is open late, good to visit as a late night option! read more

I arrived in the evening so I was not particularly selective and decided to eat here. The menu was extensive, the restaurant was very busy, and the service was excellent. The food would probably be considered very good in the United States but I think average for Hong Kong. The Tomato soup was excellent, the fish balls with noodles was average and bland, the rice with chicken was average and the Chinese broccoli was above average. The restaurant is reasonably priced, and you can get in and feed in minutes at a reasonable price but the food is average. read more

Once again, my husband and I found ourselves wandering around HK with nothing to eat because of CNY. You can count on Tsui Wah to be open though! We had milk tea, baked pork chop over rice, and Kagoshima Style Pork Cartilage w/ Tossed Instant Noodles. As an American, I always forget that people eat the right portion of things in other countries. At first, I was thinking how hungry I would still be after finishing this but I was pleasantly full. I've had the crispy bun with condensed milk at the location in the airport which is totally yummy! Perfect with a cup of hot milk tea. The food isn't astounding but I would choose this over a Denny's any day. read more

Tsui Wah Restaurant 翠華餐廳, a chain cafe located throughout Hong Kong serves up comfort food catered to the Chinese palate. During peak hours, expect to share tables. The flagship restaurant in Central has three stories. Sorry no elevators. Order like a local and try their milk tea served in their signature doll face painted mugs. Then order their infamous condense milk toast 奶油豬, soup noodles and fried rice dishes like Kagoshima Pork cartilage and spinach shrimp dumplings with fish soup and vermicelli, and fish ball rice noodles. Kagoshima Pork cartilage and spinach shrimp dumplings with fish soup and vermicelli: The soup is rich and flavorful. But, wow the pork cartilage just melts and is deeply marinated with soy and herbs. The addition of the shrimp dumpling was great mix. Because God forbid I only eat one ingredient and get bored too easily. Fish Ball and Fish Cake Rice Noodle: A bit of Chiu Chow with bouncy fish balls and a dense broth. Really one bowl is not enough. Pork Burger Slider: To advertise this as a burger was a sin. It is no bigger than your regular slider and the side of fries had 6 pieces. When was the last time you were able to count your fry. The downer was it was dry and lacked seasoning. Pineapple Bun with Chilled Butter: Such gimmick on the butter. The pineapple was rather cold and would not melt my butter. This was not comparable to Kam Wah Café 金華冰廳 and here. read more

Perfect spot to follow my late-night hedonistic activities! DISCLAIMER: I've only been a patron after midnight and I grew up in a Cantonese household in NYC so the style fits my taste. The noodle soup is great. It's fast, convenient HK Style comfort food for a low price. I've had the beef brisket, satay beef, wonton noodles, and fish ball noodles. Not too salty and not too bland. A dash of chili oil for a tingly, numbing spice. Throw in an iced milk tea to bring the whole meal together. They all hit the spot especially after a long night of drinking. read more

Delicious Cantonese food at a rather stickier price. If you live here long enough, you know you can get far more buttery condense milk toast at a local tea house. However, Tsui Wah does a pretty awesome job with consistency. I really enjoy the various noodle soup dishes they do on the table menu (under the glass) especially with degrees of spiciness--always a treat. You can't go wrong with Hainanese chicken either. Consistent, decent, quick service. Reliable restaurant for Cantonese food at late late hours. read more

The only place where I'd get a milk tea or milk coffee because it's just THAT good. I feel like they put crack in it or something, why does it taste so darn good??? This is your typical diner style set up with unlimited food to eat and try. Such an extensive menu they've got here... Insanity. My favorite thing to get is their piggy bread / bun. That's what I call it anyways. It's just really light and fluffy bread with condensed milk. Ahhh, oh so yummy. Before I moved back to Hong Kong, this was always a MUST HAVE before I leave Hong Kong. Can never get enough of it. But now that I'm in Hong Kong, I come here less. But it's still always the place to go after a night out or clubbing, haha. You'll find the most people here post clubbing! The only thing that's basically still open ;P read more

What happened Tsui Wah? What happened to good old Hong Kong hospitality? Because you are listed and newly renovated your be become god's gift to earth? We order hai nan chicken rice, not available. I order an almond drink, not available. I ask if they can put coconut milk in the red bean drink (they have coconut milk because they have coconut Milk with glass jelly) but they cannot do it. I ask for a cup of tea, it comes cold. I ask for a hot cup of tea, it is not available. The renovation is nice ... But ... What happened Tsui Wah?!!! Something as basic as a up of warm tea - you can't event provide? It's not likely price at a normal cha charn teng! read more

I'm giving this place 5-stars just for what the wait staff has to put up with on a nightly bases. It's right in the middle of LKF so their clientele consists 99% of human beer bottles on a daily basis. I'd hate to work here and somehow they still have enough patience to keep themselves open. This might have just been my drunk taste buds speaking for themselves but the food is good. I like the noodle and the egg and green veggie (forgot what kind) friend rice and the condensed milk buns. read more

A very general review for those who don't like to read too much detail: I've eaten here many times. At first, it tastes ok. But each time I've returned, I begin to taste more and more "salt" (and maybe some MSG). The food is just "OK". I'd say this is more like "comfort food" after a hangover. read more

This is the third location I've been and all I can confirm is that the food tastes the same as the other two locations. On my last day in HK, I came here before boarding my flight to grab breakfast and to order some of their pineapple bread (bolo bao) to take back to LA. Something about the bread tastes different from the spots here in the 626 and it's more crunchy. Every time I visit HK, I always come to one of the Tsui Wah locations and grab breakfast and a bolo bao. read more

Not a lot of options for breakfast but if you want a very classic Cantonese breakfast you can get it here. You don't even need to sit at a dai pai dong, but pricing is a little more expensive. Each entree comes with a drink, eggs and bread. A great deal! read more

I describe this as a Hong Kong Denny's to all my American friends. A simple, local diner, with simple, local eats. It's fun. Without rehashing others' commentary, I will add that the milk tea can be ordered cold, and specifically "champagne-style" -- Instead of ice cubes in the beverage (which dilutes the tea as ice melts, of course), upon asking they'll serve this in a bottle amidst a bowl of ice. Which I will now describe as poppin' Hong Kong Cristal. read more

翠華餐廳 - The classic dish....either number 1 or 2 most popular dish stated on the menu. - Hong Kong Style Cafe Near Me - Hong Kong, HK

Tsui Wah is one of my favorite inexpensive eats Hong Kong. They have quite a few branches around HK Island, Kowloon and New Territories, so you're never far from one. Though Tsui Wah is a 'cha chan teng' so the seating is a little cramped, I don't mind because the food here is really simple and comes quickly so you can be in and out of there in less than half an hour. Although they have a rather extensive menu, I almost always just order their signature fishball and fishcake rice noodles. I'm not a fan of spring onion, so when I place my order I always make sure to tell them to skip on the spring onion. I think one thing that sets the fishball noodles here apart from other restaurants is the quality of the fishballs and fish cakes - they don't have the kind of stale, 'fishy' taste that others do. I also really like their soup - it's not overly salty and doesn't taste like MSG. The noodles are very soft and take pretty much no effort to chew. I find that their portion is just right - it's not too small and too big. I do find myself struggling to finish it but by then I am almost done anyway so it's alright. I'm not a huge eater though so some may find that their portion is a little lacking. Besides the fishball noodles, I also recommend their pork bun. The order comes with two buns, each with a thick, juicy piece of pork, lettuce, pickles and some mayonnaise. I especially like the bun that is used - it isn't just ordinary bread; it's slightly toasted so it's a little crispy, but not so crispy that it's hard to bite and messy to eat. The pork is very nice and tender. I've not tried other things at Tsui Wah just because I'm so content with ordering the fishball noodles and the pork buns every time, but I've heard good things about others such as the Hainanese chicken rice and the beef noodles so I would suggest those too! read more

what can I say about tsui wah that hasn't been said before? in particular, THIS tsui wah, which is conveniently located next door to many late night parlors of debauchery, and open 24/7? my last (of several) dines here was at 4:30am, the night (morning) before my flight, after a long night of places like Tas Ballroom. Tsui Wah isn't the greatest HK cafe, but it is certainly one of the most ubiquitous and consistent. it's like mcdonald's except way tastier. for those who haven't been to a HK cafe before, these are establishments that serve Chinese food, chinese interpretations of western food, and everything in between. you might think you are ordering spaghetti, but it's not. it's really chinese spaghetti, which is it's own thing and should not be consumed or judged in relation to its western counterpart. there are many things on the menu that are pretty good (even when sober). there are many things on the menu that aren't that good (even when inebriated). wandering the overly long menu to discover which is which is part of the fun. for example, a recent discovery is the olive leaf fried rice, which was really yummy. the olive leaves impart a nice fragrance to the rice that I haven't experienced before. a real gem, but you have to go treasure hunting. read more

*The food here is not vegetarian-friendly. For pescetarians, there is fishball noodle soup but even so, I would suggest going elsewhere for a more meaningful meal. Service is quick and the menus were in English. However, the food is decent. I ordered a bowl of shrimp wontons and there was nothing particularly special about it. Noodles and wontons were well-cooked, but the flavor itself tasted like fast food. Like the chef had made a big pot of it, and served it out whenever the next order came. They do offer a small selection of desserts. I ordered the green tea ice-cream. It was smaller than how it was implied in the menu. Again, the dessert was nothing special and to be honest, I have never felt the need to come back here again even when I am craving dessert. They put in more ice than actual almond milk and as much as I do like red bean, they put in way too much in mine. The dessert overall satisfied my craving for something sweet but was disappointing in terms of taste, presentation, and uniqueness. I would NOT recommend coming here unless you have nowhere else to eat. Food and price are decent but do not expect much from the quality. After all, it is fast food service. read more

We were happy about the price and the chance to try authentic local food in a spot where locals go. However we were not very impressed with the food itself (we had breakfast here).

Life-saving place for your post-LKF activities. Good (but not great) Cantonese food, cheap price, and open 24-hours. Honestly, how could this get any better? It actually does get better since this Tsui Wah is very close to LKF, so you don't have to worry about heading home without actual food in your stomach after a night out. Tsui Wah is basically a staple in HK because they're everywhere and their food is cheap and fast. Post-LKF food recommendations: - Shrimp and spinach dumplings in fish soup - Fish ball and wonton soup with rice noodles (These are still good on a regular basis! These dishes are just usually very effective for making sure you wake up with a happy stomach) Regular daily food recommendations: - Peanut Butter and Condensed Milk Toast! - Chiu Chow Fried Rice - Shrimp Wonton Fish Soup (also sometimes good for post-LKF food) ALL IN ALL: Tsui Wah will give you the comfort food you need after a night out at LKF. Good during the day if you need a quick bite, great at night when you need something that's reliable, cheap and open 24-hours. read more
