I ordered the pork liver and fish belly congee, shrimp wontons in chili oil, and the steamed chicken with rice. The steamed chicken was not what I expected - they use peppercorn sprigs, and BOY, I was shocked. It was my first time having it, and my entire mouth was tingling. At first, I thought I was having an allergic reaction... then I realized it was the chicken! I had to order coconut juice ASAP. Overall, the chicken was very delicious - tender and juicy. The congee was thick and creamy, and the pork liver and fish belly were cooked to perfection. The shrimp wontons were also amazing! The service was great, and the space is very clean, well-decorated, and spacious.

We ordered Xiao long bao (soup dumplings), hot soy milk, fried dough fritters and sweet and sour soup. It wasn't a long wait till our food came steaming hot! My favourite was the fried dough fritters. These were so crispy on the outside while fluffy inside and not too greasy. As for the other items we ordered - it tasted average, nothing outstanding. The soup dumplings were lacking a bit of soup than I would have preferred. We had some leftovers and were charged about twenty cents for a container. Make sure to bring cash when you're dining out in HK!

Mak Man Kee is one of…read moreseveral well known shops that serve what Hong Kongers love most, a fresh and hot bowl of shrimp wontons with springy noodles. The space is very small inside and they only take cash. I wouldn't recommend dining with more than 3 people because of the super tight space. Best to come solo or with just a friend. I found their shrimp wontons decently fresh but not extremely memorable. The noodles weren't as springy as I'd like. The soup did not have the depth I was looking for. While it was comforting and soul warming, this place is not in my top ranking for flavor not consistency. Service was quick and efficient. Just not a very memorable place and overhyped in my opinion.

We hopped on the bus from our hotel which dropped us off a block from the restaurant. It is a small restaurant with several tables. We had just missed the lunch crowd so we didn't have to wait for seating. The menu is in Chinese. When the server noticed I was using Google Translate, she brought over an English menu. 2 of us ordered the wonton noodles and one ordered a tossed noodles dish. They were all delicious! My brother-in-law who comes to HK twice a year was thrilled to discover new restaurants with us! We had ordered the noodle set so it came with choice of green vegetables and hot drink. We order the choy sum and it was the most tender choy sum we've ever had! Service was efficient. If you want to try some really good wonton noodles, this hits the spot.

It wasn't what we were expecting at all. The food was just okay--if you like Northern cuisine with those specific heavy spices, you might enjoy it, but it really wasn't for us. The atmosphere matched the food; it had that loud "Northern style" noise level that made for a pretty chaotic breakfast. The service didn't help, either. It wasn't very friendly, and despite having to order via a QR code (which usually speeds things up), the food took quite a while to arrive. Honestly, the whole place feels like it's catering specifically to Mainland Chinese tourists rather than locals or people looking for authentic HK flavors.

I especially like their Fish Balls & Fish Cakes, they have the great consistency you would expect from fresh fish balls, the umami level is also high as they make their own fish balls etc. As always, the noodles in this type of noodle shops in Hong Kong are 80 -95% cooked to perfection i.e. El Dente, so be prepared to order another bowl (it is that good!!). People here are very down to earth and friendly, you just pick your table and sit down and order (like most noodle shops in Hong Kong, remember to bring your own paper napkins, as the chilli oil they serve are usually very very hot!!)

Depending on what you order, be prepared to spend the equivalent of about USD30 or more per person. What sets Lei Garden apart from the rest of all the dim sum restaurants is not just the deliciousness of their food, but their refinedness and creativity. Shredded Yam Egg Rolls: That's exactly where their creativity and sophistication come in. The filling tasted like a puree of yam mixed with minced pork and was almost heavenly. These are hands down the best egg rolls that I've ever had! Honey BBQ Spare Ribs: This is one of their specialties and I highly recommend that you order this dish. The meat was so tender that they fell off the bones. The honey BBQ flavor was so delicious that I needed to borrow a phrase from KFC that "it's finger licking good!" (Yes, forget about the chopsticks and eat with your fingers!) Fried Chicken Wings: The skin was perfectly crispy and the inside was moist and juicy. This is another dish that requires you to eat with your fingers and lick them to completely enjoy the experience. Har Gow: Thin, translucent, and slightly chewy skins were graced with a shrimp filling that was bouncy in texture and rich in natural flavor. Bean Curb Rolls in Broth: The fish broth was richly flavored, and not only did it make the bean curb rolls more enjoyable, it was so tasty that we finished every drop of the broth, treating it just like a soup dish. Rice Wrapped in Lotus Leaf: Tasty and not overly oily (Yes!) fried rice was generously mixed with Chinese sausage, minced pork, salty egg yolk, among many other goodies. It was wrapped in a lotus leaf and steamed to perfection that the aroma of lotus filled the air and stimulated the palate. This is another one of their specialties that I highly recommend. Siu Mai: They were tiny but were packed with a concentrated richness that was enhanced by the flavors of black mushrooms. Small, bite size, refined, and delicate - They were exactly what dim sum should be like! Beef Balls: Quality speaks here. There was not even a hint of soda powder or tenderizer. Again, the serving size was tiny but the flavor was supreme. And that perfectly matches the city where the value of food is generally not measured by its size, but by its quality.

Food here can be described as traditional Cantonese with an added flare of updated interpretations, there are a few dishes the restaurant are famous for e.g. Crispy Skinned Chicken marinated in Supreme Soy Sauce, Seasonal Double Boiled Soup, Roast Pork Belly with Cracklings etc. On this latest occasion, I tried a few more common dishes, and what stands out the most are: Beef Brisket, Tendon & Potatoes in Curry Sauce, Braised Goose Web with Shiitake Mushrooms & Tofu Skin. Love the curry sauce as it goes perfectly with plain steamed rice, even the potatoes were done well in absorbing the curry. If you like Morning Glory, they do a very good job with the seasoning and I usually request the Chef to add extra Thai Chilli to kick it up a few notches! Service has always been attentive, but I also noticed the high turn over rate as the familiar faces from the last few years are not to be found, parking can be redeemed, just notify the server at end of your meal!

There was no depth of flavor at all. It tasted like slurry. When I peeked into the kitchen, I saw giant bags of either cornstarch or rice flour starch which I suspect they put in the congee. 1 star for the rice roll with Chinese donut...it was decent. I also enjoyed the sesame doughnut. Overall, I would not recommend this restaurant, especially if you have to wait.
