I COME HERE ALL THE TIME!!!…read more I travel to thailand quite a bit and love the foods and flavors of the country and actually cook some pretty decent Thai foods myself. If your looking for a pretty close representation of Thai flavors and food this is a great spot to sit and eat. The cook is Authentic Thai living in Hk many years and married to a HK guy and the place is a knock out for PRICE vs: AUTHENTICITY vs: Quick basic service. Not a 5 star restaurant but being a foodie i love hole in the wall fun places that are real and not ostentatious. The servers speak decent English, Cantonese and Thai and maybe a few more... Nepalese... Sitting downstairs floor level there are roughly 5 tables and upstairs where i have sat more than not... I don't care for the ip[stairs but then again i go for the food and friends i am eating with not the atmosphere. Highly recommend the Laab Gai , Tum Yum Goong , Ko Mu Yang !! is awesome, Yum neaua, and many others its all really good. and the Pla Pao is nice nice!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Came here for a family lunch today, eager to try the hand cut noodles. Unfortunately, the shop…read morefailed to meet my expectations. Not only was the service poor and unfriendly, but the menu was very misleading. For oue sets, it said that cold drinks were an extra $2, with cold lemon coke an additional $4. However, they charged our lemon 7ups an extra $4, as well as the lemon honey watercress. Although the portions were large (I couldn't finish mine), the noodles were hard and lacked in taste. After eating the noodles for a while, I began to tire of the texture and flavour. That being said, the honeycomb tripe was very tasty (the black fungus, not very much so). The mala spice duck gizzards, however, stole the show! The bill totalled 400HKD for 8 people, an okay price all things included. Was an interesting experience, but won't come again!

Almost two years ago when I started working for my very first full-time job in Tsuen Wan, this was…read morethe first menu on my first day. So how did I come across this place? Surprisingly it was highly recommended by an American colleague. (If you are reading this you know I am talking about you haha...) So when another new colleague and I were struggling to figure out where to have lunch, he suggested us to this place - "Have you guys tried Knife-Cut Noodle before?" he said. "Nope." Honestly I prefer typical rice noodles and knife-cut noodle sounds too fancy for me. Anyways, since he was so eager (and you could definitely see the sparks in his eyes), we went there. At first glance, it was just one of those Chinese restaurants on the street - nothing out of ordinary, except maybe the wall of photos with countless local celebrities who have been here. After around 10 minutes of waiting, we got inside. Very local was my first impression. Just when I was wondering how he ordered in this place, and turns out he speaks fairly good Cantonese and all the staff knew him already. A regular diner I bet. He recommended us to have the signature dish and his favorite - Deep fried pork with knife-cut noodle. After a while the food was served. It was very sweet of them to serve the pork separately so that it did not go soft being put in the soup. First try was the soup, fairly sweet flavoured but the star here was the noodles and the pork chop for sure. The pork chop was perfectly fried and the noodles were freshly made and sliced. Very authentic. However, please do expect to wait for the dish for around 20 minutes. The price range is around HKD$40 to HKD$60. However the food quality is fairly high and with this decent price, it is definitely worth it. Now that I no longer work in Tsuen Wan anymore, I have not been there for a long time but I am sure if I ever go back, I will go there with my friend again.

Wow! We were pleasantly surprised to stumble upon this Thai delight. Online, through OpenRice, we…read morelearned that the specialty here was Hainanese chicken rice, and so we ordered two plates. However, upon arriving, we realized that this is actually a Thai place! In fact, it's very authentically Thai too, as the servers and workers speak some Thai dialect among themselves. We ordered two Hainanese chicken, one Cambodian noodle, and one Thai style coconut cabbage. The Hainanese chicken was decently flavourful, but I wish the rice was more aromatic and full of chicken oil flavour, rather than turmeric. I adored the Cambodian style noodle! Although the base was slightly heavier in coconut milk flavour (it could've done with less), it was very tangy, sour, and spicy. There was also a plethora of spices - full pieces of lemongrass, galangal, etc. They definitely didn't skimp out on ingredients, and it showed in the flavour! The cabbage was yummy too, but given the higher price point, the portion size was slightly disappointing. Overall, I left immensely satisfied with the food. The service is average - we did wait a long time to be served water and for our orders to be taken.

The specialty here for lunch is hainan chicken rice. $42 for a large, $37 for medium. Large has…read moreabout 8-9 pieces of chicken. The chicken is actually decent, tender. Even the breast meat was moist. My only grief was the rice. It's dry and hard. Maybe I got the bottom batch, who knows, it could be better. There are plenty of thai restaurants in the vicinity that serves hainan chicken rice for $40. I don't see a competitive edge with this place.

I've found it challenging to find decent Thai food around Central. Sure, the restaurants exist, but…read morethey're either "Thai-inspired" or some sort of Asian fusion that I'm just not interested in. I took a chance on Tuk Tuk and was pleased! First impressions were good: I liked the homey decor and the staff appeared to all be Thai. The menu had all the dishes I was looking for, and had a lot to choose, from seafood, meat, noodles, to rice. Prices are affordable for Central, too. I really enjoyed their Pad Thai. It wasn't too saucy, unlike the one I tried at nearby Koh Thai further up the escalators. They kinda scrimped on the shrimp, but surprisingly I'm the type of person who likes more noodles than chicken/beef/shrimp so this didn't bother me too much. It might if you like more of the latter! I washed it all down with a Thai iced tea, though it wasn't the best as it got watered down easily. I'd happily return to try their pineapple fried rice and other dishes next time!

Yummm...I really like this place. I've only visited here for…read moredinner on a Saturday so I can't compare the quality from before. We ordered the seafood curry inside a coconut. It was sooo good. You get the sweetness from the Coconut meat that you can scoop out from the inside. I like thick curry so this dish was just right for me! The grilled chicken was really good too! You'd have to wait an extra 25 minutes as it takes them this long to prepare this dish! You know its freshly cooked! We also had the papaya salad. Uh..Loved it too! They get really busy during busy time, so If you get there around 6:00 p.m. it's easier to get a table right away! Cash only. *boo hoo* No service charge. *yay* Not open on Sundays. *come on Saturday!*

Now this place serves legit amazing Thai food. A grandma of Thai descent runs this restaurant and…read moreit's so popular that in the same plaza they have two restaurants! I started off with their Tom Yum soup and boy was it amazing. Some places tend to serve it too creamy, too spicy or too sour/tart but this places does Tom Yum soup proud with the perfect mixture of harmony. I don't personally usually order Tom Yum soup at Thai places because how easy it is to screw it but my Aunt personally recommended that it's good here and I'm so glad I got to try it. Highly recommended. Next came something I never had before, it was raw shrimp served dressed with some chili and garlic slices. Also to accompany the shrimp was a spicy sauce which looked to have some vinegar, cilantro, green onions, chili peppers, and other spices. It had a nice clean kick to it. Next was the pork shanks simmered in what looked to be five spiced broth with Chinese broccoli. The pork was very tender and full of flavor. Definitely worth trying here. On came the skewers, we got beef, chicken, and pork. This was pretty decent but the meats could have been more tender. Out of the three, the pork skewer tasted the best as it had more meat flavor compared to the others. Next came some garlic bread which was good but what made it stand out was the curry that you had to dip with it. Amazing curry! It was a little sweet and reminded me of Malay curry. Then came a whole perfectly cooked chicken. It was so fresh and tender. It was so good that I ate the bulk of it! The white meat could almost be confused with the dark meat in a blind taste test. That's how good it was! Next came the Egg Plant but I'm usually not a fan of Eggplant but they enjoyed it. Then because my Aunt knows the owner, we got a special off the menu item which was a Pumpkin Prawn curry with noodles (yee mein). One of my favorite kind of asian noodles. It went so well with the curry. Definitely recommend ordering it if you can haha. Next to lighten up the already huge amount of food we ordered for 4 people lol, we got a salad with consisted of little Pomelo pulps, cashews, small dried shrimp, chili peppers, green onion, and baby shrimps. If you want great prices and legit authentic Thai food. This has got to be one the places but it's quite a drive outside the city but totally worth the drive!

When asked for a great Thai restaurant for dinner, our hotel concierge quickly recommended Mak Mak…read moreand snagged us a reservation for a Saturday dinner for two. The restaurant is hidden back in the corner of a maze like area known as Landmark near the Central MTR station. Once we reached the Landmark, we just stopped at an information desk to receive final directions. We arrived early for our reservation which originally was made for seats at the bar but at this earlier time they had a table free for us. The bar sitting is not like typical high top seating but rather a long table attached to a wall at normal table height. You and your guests will just be sitting beside one another rather than across a table and perhaps sitting next to a stranger. The staff there were super friendly and spoke very good English which helped us tremendously. After a warm welcome, we were quickly shown to our table and offered water to start. We saw all our favorite Thai dishes on the menu just like back home in the States. We started with fried spring rolls and a couple Tsingtao beers to take the edge off a long day of walking around Hong Kong. The spring rolls were on the skinny side but with seven of them on the plate and a lovely chili dipping sauce on the side they hit the spot. Served with the rolls were some fresh vegetables that we can never seem to get enough of when traveling far from home. For our next course, we went with Tom Yum soup another favorite of ours. I was a little hesitant at first to order it as it was priced at $20 USD which seemed high to me for a bowl of soup but it turns out to be a big bowl that is easily shared between two. It is served on a stand with a candle below to keep it warm and two smaller bowls with a ladle to serve it up. Our server poured our first bowls and ensured we each got one of the two huge shrimp (head and eyeballs included) along with plenty of our goodies. The soup was wonderful with a multitude of flavors. Easily the best Tom Yum we have ever experienced. It was quite spicy more so then we are used to having but still very enjoyable. For our last course, we selected Pad See Ew with pork and were pleasantly surprised to find more pork than noodles in the dish. This dish also can be shared for two if desired. Everything tasted very fresh with a wonderful sauce and at the perfect temperature. We passed on any dessert at this point but not for lack of options but rather room to put it. Overall, my wife and I enjoyed a wonderful meal here at Mak Mak with friendly and helpful service at a very reasonable price. We hope to have an opportunity to come back and try some other dishes.

The very first Thai AYCE brunch I've ever been to!…read more I appreciate that it's AYCE and not buffet style, there's a standard menu you can order dishes from. The food is not made in bulk and you can decide on the spice level of your food. Their larb is delicious, but spicy, so you'll want this option to decide on the spice level. Great selection of food from appetizers, soup, mains and the best part it includes dessert! Service is both friendly and quick. The brunch itself is affordable (esp. for AYCE) and you can opt for a smaller portion so you can try different things and not waste food. Totally worth a try if you're in the mood for Thai food and want a good variety.
