I have never before had a waiter slap a menu down on the table, then demand three times to know how I was going to pay for a meal before I'd even finished ordering - and then insist that I go to the till with her to hand over my credit card to pay - all this still before I had finished given her my order. I stress again that this was my opinion and my experience, and I'm certainly never going back.

We know what we get when we eat at Tai Hing. It's standard eats, offers good Chinese cold cuts like roast pork and roast pig over rice. And when we feel like adding hot food items, we always get the eggplants in claypot. The service is decent not rude (which is a norm in HK Cha Chan Tangs). It's not Michelin quality; but Tai Hing offers up local eats at a budget. Which is a great plus! We also enjoy their breakfast menu, so be sure to grab a morning meal and enjoy their delicious ice HK Milk Tea!! Their version is one of the better ones. PS: their meals always comes in a set! If your not a milk tea fan, get their equally delicious lemon tea! #travelforfood #hongkongstyle

Food here is convenient and way cheaper than in the states. Breakfast selection is limited and so is dinner so be wary and check the menu before going in. Food is standard and oily like every Asian restaurant. Since this place is a chain, it's comparable to a lower end Olive Garden for Chinese food.

I would give this place a 1 star but at least we were seated and served and the food was edible. We decided to eat here for an early breakfast to say goodbye to my family members before my flight back home. I ordered satay beef with noodles which came with eggs and a bun. This place is always packed. From what I've seen, every time I pass by the place it is almost a full house whether it is the early early morning (8am) or later in the evening so I can kind of understand not being able to seat 6 people immediately. However the situation was handled extremely poorly by their waitresses. THE SERVICE: First of all, one person from our party arrived early and asked for 6 seats and had stated we were willing to wait a bit since we understand 6 people is hard to seat together in such a busy and small restaurant. Fortunately, there were 6 available seats within a matter of minutes and so the one person from our party was told to be seated and was told that the other 5 seats were reserved for our party. Within a few minutes another group of people were seated in our seats that were reserved (keep in mind this was within a matter of a few minutes and wasn't like the seats were reserved with no shows for hours). Obviously this caused a huge commotion when the rest of the party arrived to our reserved seats being taken when we were promised we would be seated together. After all of this, we asked what happened and the waitress seemed annoyed and asked us to sit away from each other and obviously we refused since we had reserved the seats to be together and it was our last meal before my flight home. This caused a bit of an issue and we wanted to leave and find a different restaurant that would seat us properly, however the waitress became irritated and found us a new set of tables since people had coincidently just left. We finally sat down and decided to order, however, another waitress came to take our order and gave us attitude and grimaced at every single word we said to her. It was absolutely rude and we felt the entire staff was shooting us dirty looks while we ate. THE FOOD: honestly was not very good. Maybe I was already put in a bad mood by the lousy service, but the noodles and beef were oddly greasy (as pictured) and not balanced at all. The beef tasted like it was not even seasoned one bit. I felt like the beef was cooked separately with 0 seasoning and plopped on top of the noodles and the grease just sank into the soup, making the entire dish just a messy attempt at satay beef and noodles. The eggs were also poorly cooked. The only good thing was the lemon tea I ordered. My other family members felt that the food was mediocre as well. I ABSOLUTELY HATE GIVING POOR REVIEWS and I really wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt, but the blatant rudeness and attitude of the workers and the disappointment of the food was just awful. Honestly the city of Hong Kong is known for its amazing food and restaurants and I did not expect my first 2 star review to be in the city of such great food. I cannot believe with such lackluster service and food that it can still function as a restaurant in a city with such iconic cuisine.

The menu here is much more extensive though. In fact, it feels overwhelming at times. Having said that though, they serve any variety of the Hong Kong classics, and they serve it darn well. I've been here twice now, and both times I've been really satisfied with my meal. The first time I had a spare ribs with hor fun with black bean sauce and cream of corn with fish over rice. The hor fun was perfectly stir fried, and I appreciated that there was a healthy portion of spare ribs. The fish was still crispy, even with the sauce on it. The second time I went was afternoon tea time so I had their BBQ pork with scrambled eggs and XO sauce over rice. I loved the extra kick that the XO sauce add, and the eggs were very silky smooth. We also got the beef chow fun which stir fried until it as perfectly dry but not too oily. It had a lot of "wok air", which implies the heat used to cute it was high enough. Lastly, we got the classic scrambled eggs with ham and toast. The eggs here were also light, fluffy and perfectly cooked. One of my favorite things about this place is the model of Hong Kong life! In a display case that spans one of the walls, you'll find what looks like a typical street in Hong Kong. It has the mini buses, taxis, people, short houses with clothes hanging outside. It's super cute! The inside is also decorated to look like a classic cha caan teng. Would I go out of my way to come to this place? Probably not, but if I were in Hung Hom it's definitely my top choice for Hong Kong style cafes.

One thing that I'd like to improve is the portion as I didn't get enough of it! My friend got lobster pasta - there's an option to choose between having the lobster shelled or de-shelled. We recommended have the shell on because the flavor will be more intense. But it's a bit troublesome to get the shell off. My other friend had steak and it was ok I heard. The other high light of our meal is the scallop dumpling. Every dumpling has a scallop in it and it is all hand wrapped. We also like the sesame sauce tofu salad - silky tofu with crunchy romaine lettuce. Very refreshing!

Restaurant is on the…read moreground floor of an office building and when opening the door, a dark and sexy lounge bids you to come in. We didn't have reservations but managed to snag seating near the bar with a view of the front dining room. For drinks I asked our server what a popular drink was and he said the Smoking Gun which was their version of a Negroni (Lapsang infused Bulldog gin, campari, chocolate bitters). I ordered the Tokyo Affair (prosecco, acai liqueur, lychee juice, cherry blossom). The Smoking Gun came in a dramatic Japanese wooden chest and when you opened it up, it literally had smoke coming out of it. My friend liked his drink and I liked my "girlie" Tokyo Affair - sweet and bubbly. We ordered: Lomo Saltado "El Taco" (Stir fry beef & veggies with coriander chimichurri and crispy gyoza paste): This was a very small taco but very tasty. The thin beef strips were seasoned well. Ki-mo-chi Chicken: Karage style chicken thighs were slightly spicy and perfectly fried. It came with a dipping mayo that was delicious. Spicy Hamachi Roll (yellowtail with kiuri garnished with fried shiso and chives): This came with a spicy mint chimichurri sauce. Yellowtail tasted fresh and the shiso added a crunchy texture to the roll. LL Loin (Grilled lamb loin with apple puree, mint salad and pickled onion): Lamb was super tender and very good. Service was attentive in the beginning but it took a while to find our server as the night wore on. Not surprising since the restaurant got really crowded. The manager was a good looking Italian guy who knew what he was doing and at some point it was someone's birthday and he came out wearing a unicorn head (which frankly would have freaked me out but as an observer was kinda neat). I think that this is a great place to meet people and catch up over some great food.

If I…read morecame here with friends for a drink and ordered some appetizers I would have given this place a higher rating. The appetizers were awesome and hands down the best part of the meal. The fried chicken was really awesome. Sweet, crispy with a little bit of spice. Dipping sauce was not needed as the chicken was really tasty. The fried peppers were also really good. The ceviche was pretty bland. For a Peruvian and Japanese place this is what I expect to be good. This can't compare to a half decent place in Tokyo or Lima. Quite disappointing. The mains were ok. Not bad but not really good either. The miso cod is what you would expect and executed properly. The chicken skewers were dry and does not bring memories of a yakatori restaurant. If I didn't eat the dessert I would have given four stars. The food is three star level but the environment and atmosphere is cool and would bring it up to four stars. Unfortunately I did have the dessert. The cake was one of the worst desserts I have had in a restaurant. If I went to 7 eleven and bought a mass produced prepackaged cake It would be debatable which one would be better.

Alright, I realize how important it is for me to write a review of this place, considering that I…read morevisited back in Nov 2016 and there hasn't been an English language review of it on yelp. Nov 30th was my penultimate night in Hong Kong (I flew back in mid-November for a visit and stayed 13 days), and as such, it was also my lunar calendar birthday (which I don't pay attention to). My favorite aunt & uncle insisted on a celebration, and with them pushing 80, I would lean towards something healthier. It was either the infamous Tung Po (東寶小館) in the Java Street Wet Market, or something dialed back. "How about something...vegetarian?" "Sure, your uncle knows a place near Jaffe Road in Wanchai". Wanchai is a commercial area near the convention center, and it's 7 blocks from the foothills to the sea - Gloucester Rd is an expressway on the water's edge, Lockhart is known for Filipino girly bars, Hennessy is where the trams run, and Jaffe is a mid-class hotel street. It's not entirely tour guide friendly like Causeway Bay, Sheung Wan or TaiKoo. Still, I know the south side of Wanchai, and the MTR stop is nearby (we are heading West, Uncle and Aunt will head East after the meal) and it's convenient for us. We met up on Hennessey & Stewart near the Caltex gas station, and walked to a tiny 60 seat restaurant on the ground floor, overlooking a rather quiet side street. First impressions? Elegant but a bit ostentatious. Mentions in the local press are prominently displayed near the door, along with some local culinary hob-nobbery, not quite Buddhism in creed. We made prior reservations and were seated near the window. First, a pot of puer tea (serve the elders first), then we ordered a few items. See, I am always perplexed by restaurants offering substitutes of meat dishes, the so-called mock meat movement. I like the idea of tempeh and gluten bits, but I just don't think it helps anyone to make them look like it came from an animal part (I mean, if the argument is not to harm animals...why make a mock pig and butcher it? If that's the case, make it a tofu infant. If eating that is wrong I don't want to be right). So my aunt decided to order some chitterlings (very Cantonese), some spare ribs, some vegetarian peking duck, a portion of tonkatsu, some fried noodles, and truffles fried rice baked in a pumpkin. The ribs and chitterlings were made out of gluten and tofu sheets and had a convincing texture, while the tonkatsu had a tempeh interior. They are not made out of meat, but for some reason, they were flavored like they were, and for a moment you do not miss it. The Peking duck were treated with the usual camphor savoriness and that crisp skin made you forget that there should be chewy morsels of duck meat underneath which were replaced by gluten strands. If you wrap it around the usual lotus bun "pancake" with the scallion and hoisin sauce, you might not catch on at first. I mean, it's definitely a weird sensation eating something that were flavored like it's made out of meat, with the sensation similar to meat, but not quite it. The fried noodles came in, and it was your garden variety vegetable fried noodles with mushrooms - good, but not great. The Truffles fried rice served in the pumpkin was tasty in that the rice was topped with a creamy mushroom sauce, and you were supposed to break off bits of roasted pumpkin into your rice. It was quite good. Dessert was on-the-house as part of the meal and features your usual platter of fruit (pineapples and melons) and an azuki bean based sweet dessert soup (your typical Cantonese tongsui 糖水). Overall, a great experience. It was a healthy break from some possibly regrettable meal choices during the HK trip, and I think the elders enjoyed it as well. The next time I am in HK I'll totally stop in for a meal.
