I prefer non-chain, smaller establishments with local favor. This branch is located inside the Harbour City mall on the Kowloon side. We had their vegetables w/oyster sauce $47 ($6 USD), wonton noodles $53 ($6.79 USD) and beef brisket with tendons $130 ($16 USD.) Everything tasted great. Service was excellent. The restaurant was full with a short five minute wait at noon on a weekday.

Although the bowl was small, it held a surprisingly generous amount of thin firm egg noodles with juicy plump shrimp won tons for about $7. So onolicious! We also got a side of deep fried shrimp won tons for an additional $2. If you're ever in Hong Kong, don't hesitate to stop by this small, family run noodle shop with its clean interior, friendly staff, and reasonable prices!

It's also pretty filling. One bowl per person is more than enough.

If you are looking for quick but delicious CONGEE and wonton mein this is the spot! The congee was different than in NY so silky and flavorful and the fish filet was thin so you tasted it in every bite, there was sooo much fish in there i was surprised. I didn't like the wonton mein as much because i don't like egg noodles but my bf liked it and it came with a good amount of beef which was tender. We also tried the oyster ball as an appetizer since they ran out of you tiao both times we went which i was definitely disappointed about. May need to check what is available when, i think when we first went the wonton mein wasn't available until 11am and the congee was no longer available at that time but i cannot remember just keep it in mind. Absolute gem of central only had a week here and went 2x! Super nice staff even though i can't speak chinese so my bf did or we had to point lol too but bring your own napkins.

I added a duck egg the second visit on the trip for an extra $15 HKD and I wasn't disappointed :) The fried curry balls were decent. An order comes with 3 balllls. There is a single occupancy bathroom in the back and bonus point- there is a giant roll of TP by the table in the back if you need it. I think it's for napkin use though, not sure lol. I didn't need to use it but I can say something is better than nothing even if it's.. a standard HK bathroom if you know what I mean. Cash only and it's meant to be fast more so during rush peak hours. Do bring your own napkins and note it's not too spacious for any luggage/big bags to be rolled around inside.

The wontons were amazing. Whole pieces of shrimp with just a wrapper. The broth was great too. Cash only. Make sure to try this place.

Instead, the…read morefloor is grimy, you might share a table with others, and you might want to compulsively wipe the utensils before you eat with it. However, this is old school casual Hong Kong eating at its best. My family's favourites include the fried glutinous rice (生炒糯米飯), beef chow fun (乾炒牛河), claypots, and the daily chinese soup. Thinking about the food makes my mouth water, and we often order more than we can eat so we can pack up the rest to go for the next day. If you don't speak any sort of Chinese though, it might be hard to get anything here. Tag along with a local, and just eat everything they present. Trust me.

Pretty good... We had a lot of stuff here since I came here…read morefor lunch as well as dinner. Here is what we had... LUNCH... Fatty char siu: I thought this was the best dish that I have had in this restaurant. The fat isn't hard which means it will melt when it goes straight into your mouth. Roast goose: This was pretty good too. I liked the flavor of the skin and the meat. Sweet and sour pork on rice: This was a great dish. The pork seems fresh and the sauce isn't too sweet or too sour. They have achieved the balance. DINNER... We ordered most of the same things, but I will only describe the new dishes. Scrambled eggs with shrimp: This was very nice. I think this place adds butter or milk to their eggs. Couldn't stop eating this dish. Tofu with fish: I wasn't really a fan of this dish. The texture as well as the flavor of the fish seemed off. I liked the tofu though. Overall, I think this place is worthy of my services. I'll be back.

Being Shaanxi cuisine, the flavors are very different than the local, Cantonese ones. I've had a variety of their signature biang biang noodles, such as spare ribs, beef and leek dumplings, and lamb dumplings. I would definitely go with one of the dumplings. Both were very flavorful and juicy on the inside. Although the thick, flat noodles are hard to share because it's one long piece, I love the texture of them. I think they're the perfect amount of chewy and compliment the spices perfectly. Aside from the signature biang biang noodles, I've had their cold noodles with sesame sauce. This is also a favorite of mine at Yau Yuen Siu Tsui. The noodles are thinner, but still have an amazing texture to them. They're not soft and soggy, very chewy. The sauce also hits just the right amount of spice. Their appetizers are also very unique. We've had their grass jelly with peanut sauce and shredded lotus roots. The grass jelly had a wasabi element to it where the spice goes up your nose so I wasn't that big of a fan. The shredded lotus roots were fantastic though! They were cooked perfectly so that there's still a crunchy to them but not too hard. Although small, this place still get really crowded and so the service can be kind of slow but I enjoy it because that means you don't have to rush through the meal. The only thing that might give Yau Yuen Siu Tsui a ding on points is their location. It's not particularly convenient to get to.

They have a wide variety of appetizers and entrees. For appetizer, we had a noodle with chicken and cucumbers. Then for the entree, I was recommended to get the biang biang noodles, which are thicker and wider noodles compared to many other types of Chinese noodles. I got it with dumplings. The dumplings and noodles don't come in a soup, but it does have some spicy chili to go with it that tastes really good. I like the unique flavor and noodle texture. They have very nice decorations in there as well. From what I hear, they were previously at a smaller spot and relocated here. Glad they moved to this bigger spot so more people could dine in. Highly recommend this place!

Very nice upscale Cantonese restaurant - an ideal place to impress your guests. Customer service…read morewas excellent and tea refilling was done promptly. When we arrived, around 8:20pm, almost all the signature poultry dishes were sold out. So I guess your safest bet is to call in advance and reserve their signature tea smoked chicken. Take note. We ordered the sweet and sour pork, winter melon with chilis, salted minced pork and shrimp, the char siu BBQ, and the stir-fried flat noodles with beef. They asked if we wanted to order a bowl of specialty rice to go with the mains, but rice is rice right? The winter melon was quite spicy but very fragrant 很香 from the shrimp paste flavor. The sweet and sour pork (gu lu yok) was a bit underwhelming to say the least - maybe it's because I'm used to the bright orange flavor of this dish at other restaurants, and the presentation nothing special. The char siu was very very lean - not fatty at all and the meat quite tough to bite in at times. I think they used the leanest pork tenderloin for the char siu... but the fat is the best part! :'( The 乾炒牛河 was done well, the beef was tender, solid classic Cantonese dish.

Kin's Kitchen is definitely one of the best Cantonese restaurants in town. Here's my experience at…read moreKin's Kitchen for our company year end dinner last month. Before I go into the food, I must praise how well-trained their staff are. This lady named Jacky was very welcoming and kept making sure we were well served. Her sincere and genuine attitude earned some praises among us and she even rewarded us with some free desserts at the end. We also ordered a bottle of red but our wine expert friends tasted something wrong in the wine and the male waiter tasted the wine and confirmed the wine went wrong. He immediately allowed us to order another bottle. This kind of service is quite rare in most local restaurants in HK. We ordered many of their classic dishes including the Kin's smoked chicken, fried thousand-year-old egg with pickled ginger, stir-fried lion-head fish fillet with lettuce shoot, seasonal lamb pot, pomelo peel with vegetables and mushroom, fried glutinous rice with Chinese sausages, etc. The best dish was definitely their signature smoked chicken. The lion-head fish is generally rare to find and hard to cook, yet they made the dish simple but spectacular. In terms of the decor, the restaurant has many interesting things if you look around. There are some small fish tanks in bird cages hanging in the restaurant. There are also many photo portraits which were taken by the owner, Mr. Lau Kin Wai. In case you don't know, Mr. Lau was a former art-critic and food-writer. It's not a surprise that the interior design of his restaurant is filled with art. I highly recommend Kin's Kitchen for some Cantonese fine-dining. I'll definitely be back to try other dishes.

Wing Lai Yuen is a Sichuanese restaurant located in Wong Tai Sin. It is a short walk from the MTR…read morestation of the same name. This restaurant is a bit out of the way and the kind of place you wouldn't know about unless you knew a local. I learned of this spot from my aunt who lives in HK and has brought me here for dinner a couple times. The storefront does not have an English name so you will need to look for the Chinese title. Look for a red color sign. The restaurant interior has a feel of a hole in the wall. When you enter, grab a table if there is one open. Though be forewarned that you might need to share it if the restaurant fills up. It is best to get in early (5-ish) before the crowd at dinner time. There isn't an English menu, so it helps if you come here with a Chinese speaker. But there are menu item photos plastered over the wall so you could simply point to what you want here. The signature menu item here are their dan dan noodles. They are also a very good deal since it is just HK$24. This dish is spicy, though you can ask for a less spicy version but it is a bit watered down in flavor. On my recent trip, I had a few other items in addition to the dan dan noodles and all four of them were great. They have this fried fish appetizer which are crunchy that I couldn't get enough of. Then there were the two Sichuanese standards, chili green beans with ground beef and ma po tofu. The green beans were nice and crisp with plenty of garlic and chili pepper. The ma po tofu was silky and comforting. They also have xiaolongbao here which are HK$50 for an order of 8. For a restaurant that does not specialize in Shanghai cuisine, I thought these were quite good. Not the best I have had, but solid. The service is great here. And the chef was quite accommodating despite all of the special requests we had. The restaurant is a bit off the beaten path, but if you are looking for good Sichuanese food, Wing Lai Yuen is worth seeking out.

She used to live in this neighborhood when she was a child and this was one of her favorite restaurants back then. It's very popular among the locals and there are hardly any foreigners.

I especially liked their 擔擔麵 (dandanmian) and 小籠包 （this is not really 川菜 but who cares? 好吃！）, so good! 不錯！For desserts, I recommend 炸銀絲卷 (sweet fried bread which is crunchy on the outside, you eat it with a condensed milk like dip), 雷沙湯圓 (hot mochi with black sesame cream inside) , and 豆沙鍋餅 (Awesome pancake with sweet red bean paste!
