On any given night, you'll find TVB (HK television) celebrities and Chinese Michelin-starred chefs dining here. The food is incredible. Owner/Chef Ng is so passionate in everything he prepares -- he's the only one in the kitchen cooking -- and it is reflected in the dishes that hits the table. We had clam soup, spicy chicken, roasted pigeon, soy sauce prawns, sour and spicy garoupa, pan fried vermecelli with black bean abalone, and gailan with salted fish. This is home-style cooking at its very best!

Loong Yuen is located at Holiday Inn TST B1 level. It is a very traditional dim sum restaurant…read more There is a 35% off coupon on weekdays, so we decided to give it a try. Ordered 8 dim sum including har gaw, beef ball, bean curb roll. All tastes good, but we were surprised with $30 tea per person. It is definitely on the expensive side. The bill comes out to over $600 after discount. There are other dim sum places in TST that offer more varieties with better deals, but if you are looking for a quiet hotel restaurant for lunch gathering or dinner gathering or business lunch with good food quality, this is the place to go.

We discovered this place via Yelp. It's definitely not at the top of my lists of places to eat here…read morein Hong Kong. The good part about this place is that it's clean and the service was pretty good. Food was sub-par. However, I will say that they have these sesame balls that Have black sesame inside! That's different from anything I've had before. I actually really enjoyed that the most. That's the most memorable dish that I had here. Other than that, nothing sticks out for me. I really didn't like the fried donuts. I would skip that for sure!

Located at Time Square; Hong Kong's busy retail and foodie mecca, Lei Garden has been a offering…read moreCantonese Cuisine for over a decade. 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!

Hong Kong is the best place in the World to splurge on dim sum, as the top prices that you are…read morepaying will usually reward you with unparalleled quality and sophistication that cannot be found outside of Asia (well, maybe except in Toronto or Vancouver.) 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.

You expect better service when you go to a nicer dim sum restaurant. We had a large group and while some of us were using the restroom they collected all our uneaten food and tossed everything except two dishes. When I asked to bag it, they charged me $1 for the container. Very very petty. There weren't many people in the restaurant at noon on a Saturday and even less when we left at 1:00. If I was management, I would reflect on the service your waitress provides. Very disappointing. Don't recommend this at all.

We went there for 2 lunches and tried some of dim sims: Preserved egg with dry oyster rice porridge - The congee wasn't too thick, just about right. It's simple and tasty. Steamed spare ribs with black bean sauce - It's mediocre and quite fatty Braised baby pork trotter - It's 3 pieces of pork trotter. It's tasty and skin so smooth. Steamed shrimp & scallop dumplings - It's perfect bite size and tasty pretty good Pan-fried Kobe Beef and Preserved Vegetable Buns - Beef so tasty (but suspected Kobe beef quality) and tasted at salty side. Steamed rice rolls in 3 ways - We liked this rice roll with 3 different ingredients (mushrooms, shrimps, and bbq pork) Deep fried shrimp bean curd rolls & Deep fried taro custard - Both dim dims were crispy and good. Steamed pork dumplings - Minced pork quite bouncy and smooth. Overall, the environment pretty quiet as a dim sim restaurant and the service were great!

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.

Once you hit the plaza, you take the escalator (twice), then get on the elevator. There are different menu with special prices for weekdays (depends on what time you go in). I love the red ginger pot; you can pretty much smell it once you enter the restaurant. A lot of authentic dim sums and they are flavorful. Interior: Decent ambiance.

Squeezing bao until they ooze out their "mouths" is a lot of fun. Sometimes they ooze out their butts -I'd give more stars just for that. And then ALL the stars for the aesthetics (10/10). Cute cute cute. How cute exactly? The bbq bao is decorated as a pig! Ahhhh. So you see the concept is definitely adorable, and the menu is inspiringly creative, but I thought the actual execution and taste were just okay. Mainly I didn't care for the buns and texture, so I don't think I would need to come back, especially not with all the authentic dim sum around. That's my advice -worth it to check out at least once for the cutesy baos. Do it for the gram. Remember to take your camera; and a sketch pad would be fun. -prettier on the outside is not always ideal

I came in during a rainy night and was seated rather quickly. I ordered the shrimp dumpling with rainbow translucent skin, the pineapple bird pastries, and the green tea steamed buns with faces. My server gave me a bag for my umbrella, which was appreciated. While the shrimp dumplings and the green tea steamed buns were pretty yummy, the pineapple bird pastries were just a bit too dry for my tastes. Too much pastry, and not enough pineapple filling! Everything was really beautiful though, and arrived nice and fast! I would definitely recommend coming here if you are a tourist, the menu is really tourist friendly with lots of pictures and accurate written names for the dishes. YUM! CHA! :3
