They have 30 little containers in a wooden tray that you can use! Their soup base was rich and tasty and made anything that went into it super delicious. I was so stuffed after this meal because we just had so much to eat and I wanted to try everything. They pretty much have whatever meat, vegetables and entrees that you'd want! This restaurant has a great atmosphere, you can order drink, hang out and doesn't feel crowded at all. The service is fast and the place is pretty large for Hong Kong. I'd definitely come back because it has great food and a great atmosphere for hot pot.

After a long day in Disneyland and not having any real type of food, we got back to our area of…read moreHong Kong and was trying for dear life to find a place to eat. Well thank goodness we found this place because it was a god send. Fairly close to the exits of the East Tsim Sha Tsui station, we at first didn't know where it was but good thing TripAdvisor had some good photos to find it. We walked in and there were a good amount of folks inside enjoying their food and the bbq and roasted meats were a good sign. They did have a menu, but their English is definitely limited. We tried to get a combination BBQ plate, but certain items were not available for the combo. Eventually we did end up getting a two item BBQ plate (roasted duck and bbq pork) and wonton noodle. We got so much food for the price. It was ridiculous! The meats were succulent and rich and hit the spot. The wontons were super flavorful and you can see the shrimp in it. The egg noodles were perfectly cooked and had a nice bite to them. There was a side soup which was basically a clean broth. Would I come back again? Heck yes! In a heart beat for the prices they give. Now I just need to figure out to say "more tea" and "do you have napkins" cause in the whole time we were there we got one cup of tea and had no sight of napkins at all. Good thing I had a reserve of napkins in my bag. It also seemed to be okay to bring in food from the outside as a table next to us was eating some of the nearby street food.

When the boyfriend and I landed in Hong Kong, it was fairly late in the evening. So, we wanted to…read moreget something quick to eat and call it a night as we had plans the next day. The boyfriend's uncle recommend this spot to us. Tsui Wah serves a variety of popular and well-known Hong Kong-styled dishes and drinks, along with other items. The boyfriend and I shared our go-to baked pork chops over rice, and it was pretty good! Definitely better than what we get back at home. Surprisingly the serving size was generous, we were both full by the end of our meal. Additionally, the service was average and location was convenient for us. Overall, a pretty standard Hong Kong-styled restaurant, slightly comparable to an IHOP or Denny's. It's worth the try if you are in the mood for something quick and relatively affordable. They also have several locations throughout Hong Kong and Macau!

Gosh I wished there was a 24/7 HK-style cafe around here at home…read more It was later in the evening and this place was near my hotel. Love me some curry beef brisket, so I went for their Malaysian offering, which was a "signature dish" of theirs. While it was rich and creamy, the curry was one of the more spicier I've had. So if you're squeamish with heat, definitely consider something else. Other than that, the beef was plentiful and tender. The restaurant isn't the cleanest but it's passable. Service is non-responsive and you may have to wait long. The good news was that I only had to wait 15 minutes outside for a booth. The bad news was that these two girls in front of me decided to take more selfies in 10 minutes than should be allowed in a year.

I don't regret coming but probably won't return. It is more like a one time experience at the…read moreprice point. I completely dismissed this restaurant originally when I saw the gimmicky presentations, but some dishes offer a playful interpretation. Should try: Roast Pigeon was cooked perfectly. Succulent and juicy. They offer gloves which is a fantastic idea to eat the small bird. Beef char siu was tender and had good flavor and char texture. The thyme was decorative but added a nice scent. Interesting: Mangosten fritter is more for the look but also had a nice crab lobster sauce filling. Meh: Charcoal Buns were sweet and savory but does not taste different from the traditional version Sponge Xiao Lung Biao- Normally I love this dish but the change up here did not do anything for me. I wasn't too impressed by the filling nor the skin. If you are new to or want traditional dim sum go elsewhere. Also I didn't really order from the dinner style selections. Glad I didn't because they are small portions and didn't look that novel. If you are like me and had dim sum countless number of times, it is fun to try things with a twist. The woman next to me kept admiring how the food was presented. Look for the L signage and go to the second floor. Casual clean open dining room. Not crazy about the ant decals but it feeds into the playful nature of the restaurant.

Came here the other day for lunch. I've actually seen this place around on social media so it is…read morenot like I am completely unaware of it. However, just never had the chance to come. The place is fairly large actually, at least for a second floor restaurant? While there were a lot of people here, there was also a fair bit of seating. The service staff is pretty good, don't have any complaints here. The food aspect is quite interesting here. They have a lot of new stuff, which includes new takes on classic items, as well as new things that they invented themselves. I believe that some of these are quite similar to other things that people have experimented with, but it's no less welcome to see it. However, I wasn't a huge fan of the food overall. We got some stuff like pork puff pastries, the vegetarian siu mai (which sadly is not that great, but whatever), claims in chinese medicine soup (which was pretty gross), the truffle chicken, a few small dishes. Overall, I think they are trying a bit too hard to mess with things that are already quite decent. I appreciate the experimentation, but it's probably not for me.

Meh. Service is…read morespotty. There is a reason people want to eat next door despite a much longer wait. Menu options also quite limited. The item that is special here is the dessert - they have a globe sized fried sesame ball that everyone seems to like ordering for photo opportunity purposes. For Hong Kong - a place that has lots of good food, I would only eat here if it's the only option available; and that was the only reason why we stopped by here. Go somewhere else if you can find something. We only came here bc it was convenient as we were in iSquare already.

W1 is one of my mom's favourite dim sum restaurant, it is close to Grandma's and serves a dish that…read moremom keeps raving about :- the fried sticky rice stick with dried shrimp and scallops. This place is also famous for the giant sesame ball that looks much more impressive than it tastes. Service ranges from average to moderately sucking, but I guess that is par for course for most restaurants in Hong Kong. The free items (1 free HAR GOW per table and free desserts for each diner) takes forever to come while the wait staff repeatedly reassure us that they are indeed coming "right out of the kitchen". I guess taking their sweet time AND not reminding the customers of the freebies is a way to weasel out of actually giving them out. The view of the Victoria Harbour kicks motherfucking ass, for the price point and the free food items offered, it really is not a bad deal at all. Fuck the bad service. The food really is above average, they do not have a LOT choices but they do manage to put some fairly unique spin on some classic items. The Foie Gras fried rice is not as good as it used to be, mainly because they are now skimping on the foie gras (because it is expensive?) . The rice is not overly greasy, and I do like the diced scallops. The fried sticky rice stick is their "improved" version of the classic Shanghainese snack sticky rice "cake", the original is just a plain fried-to-crispy rectangular sticks of sticky rice, I remember how excited my dad was when he found out the J&J restaurant in Alhambra was serving that dish which he so enjoyed when he was a kid. I was not impressed by the plain version when we had that in Los Angeles but I guess one always feel nostalgic when eating certain foods from one's childhood. This "improved" version on the otherhand, was anything but bland and plain. Their special spring roll ("eggroll" for the clueless) looks really pretty, these are 3 long and thin fried spring rolls served in a glass vase with 3 or 4 budding flowers (tulips?), the idea is that these spring rolls are shaped to look like leaves. I really like the creativity, though the flavour suffers because the thin willowy shape also means less meat/shrimp stuffing. Still, this dish looks so gorgeous and that alone makes it a memorable dish. The steamed BBQ pork bun and pork spare ribs are ok and nothing special. Right now they are running another special promotion of buy one get one free for Shark's fin soup and abalone. There ain't much fins in the soup but for the price ($168 for 2) you can't really complain too much.

You might get yelled at for not putting the menu back in its place, but it's a small price to pay for such delicious food. When they bring out a large bowl of water, use it to rinse out your utensils. By the way, you can usually find chopsticks, silverware, and spoons in the drawer beneath the tabletop. Char Siu and Roast Duck: The barbecued pork is incredible. It's a little smoky and sweet with a nice pink smoke ring. The sticky edges are super crispy from the caramelization and a slight char. You can hear a tiny crunch with each bite. As for the meat, it is more tender than any BBQ or a succulent cut of the finest pastrami. Roast duck is the ultimate pairing for char siu because of its crisp skin and depth of flavors from the five spice, soy, hoisin sauce, oyster sauce, garlic, and ginger.

As good as it gets" My relatives brought me here for dinner when I visited Hong Kong from the US (haven't been back since 1997). This place is in a fishing village/area, we took the subway and got off at the Yau Tong station, after asking around we got to the seafood area...it was a lot of walking to get to this specific restaurant. This restaurant is at the END of all the other ones along the shore. As you twist and turn to get here, you will pass by a bunch of stores that sell fresh seafood and many will hassle you into eating at their adjacent restaurants. One thing I noticed about ALL the stores is that nothing smelled "fishy"! There was not a stench in the air! I've always heard that fresh seafood does not smell fishy. This is the first time I understood what they were talking about. When we finally got to the restaurant, my family decided on the dishes they wanted, I'm not sure if it was because they knew the owner or if this was something you can ask for because we were walked back out to their tanks to pick out the fish, lobster, clams, etc that we wanted. It was a totally awesome experience. The food was nothing short of AMAZING! I have never had seafood this great in my entire 35 years of life and I live 10 minutes from the ocean in California. Everything was cooked perfectly and dishes were not overly seasoned so the flavor of the seafood really comes out. The "peeing" shirmp was soooooooo good, it was better than any Maine lobster I've had. Yes I just compared a shrimp to a lobster, it was that good! If there's anything I would recommend, it would be that and the jack knife clams. Price is a little on the high end especially given the cheap food prices in Hong Kong, but I can't wait to visit again.

If no one guide or direct us to there, it will take us long time to find it. One of my friends is their regular customer and he got VIP room reserved. Nice! I didn't follow them to select live/fresh seafood from the tanks or seafood market coz I preferred to spend time with my friends for chatting. My good friends would know I like anything kind of live seafood, just pick whatever.... Poached shrimps - Caridean shrimps size are pretty small but it tasted so fresh and sweet. Stir fried razor clams with black bean sauce - **my favourite dish** It cooked perfectly and so delicious. Steamed scallops with garlic and cellophane noodles - Scallop so fresh and mixed with garlic so tasty. Stir fried Jumbo mantis shrimp with garlic and chili - Mantis shrimp just a bit overcooked coz was a little bit chewy. But, I liked the smell with garlic and chili. Steamed Grouper - I loved steamed fresh fish, it cooked perfectly and fantastic. Steamed fresh Abalones - It is finest seafood! Abalone texture was firmed and clean aftertaste tasted. Thumbs up!! Chinese Mitten crabs - The season just started and we're in right timing to have mitten crabs. It's not meaty like Dungeness crab. It's custardy in texture and like sea urchin.. I also felt guilty to eat whole mitten crab coz it's quite high cholesterol. Gai Lan - it's great coz we should have more veggies (rich in fiber) and help for digestion. Fruits platter - The mango was so tasty and juicy and grapes were sweet too. I don't mind to come back next time for such good quality of dishes.
