When in Hong Kong, wonton soup is a must try. This was near us, so we came here right when it opened at 10:30am for breakfast. We ordered a beef noodle, wonton noodle and beef brisket noodle. Service is quick as usual, and flavors were great. read more

Classic wonton and dumpling noodle soup shop in TST. It's a no-frills place that is always busy, so sharing tables are normal. Lines look long, but it moves fast. One of the best wonton place because the broth is done right. They use the fish stock that develops a deep umami flavor that cannot be duplicated elsewhere. They have a combo deal that comes with 2 bowls of wonton noodle soup and veggies. read more

Very wonderful delicious noodle place. Very green outside door and menu so you can't really missed it. Great menu choices. Love their noodle - thin, long, chewy and well cook. And this is how I missed HK noodles, perfectly make. Their filling are delish as well and great accompaniment the noodles. The place is nice, clean and well organized. Small but manageable with a dozen tables. Great service and overall, great meal. read more

Mak's has a few locations and usually doesn't have a line out the door in HK. It was popular a few years ago and still is a bit of a standard. There's good flavor in the broth, with enough dried fish flavor . Wontons are small but have prawn in it . Has a good bounce. Noodles are decent as well. Small bowl, though. Not my favorite wontons but a must when doing comparisons. read more

Tried true Hong Kong Wonton noodle soup for the first time and it was amazing! The broth was so flavorful and delicious! The egg noodle was perfectly cooked and it came with three wontons. It was so good and I would definitely want to come here again while on my trip here! read more

The voyage to try as much Wonton Mee as possible begins at this very popular chain of restaurants. This particular branch is located in TST. Shop was sizeable enough with a two-seater table here and there. I had the Signature Wonton Noodles (49 HKD) and the mister added the Beef Tendon to his Wonton Noodles (67 HKD). The wontons are something to rave about for sure. These are filled to the brim with whole pieces of shrimp along with additions of wood-eared mushrooms and ground pork. The wrapping was thin, bouncy, and held all the contents in without issue. The broth was lightly oily and rather simple, but I guess that is the HK way. The thin noodles were springy and served al dente, probably the most springy noodles from all the noodle shops we tried. The nice added touch was the complimentary tea served with our meals. As one of the most popular noodle shop brands in HK, it made sense to give them a try. While their branding is quite polished -- with organized English menus as an instant draw to travelers -- and noodles soups tasty enough, there are certainly other noodles shops to try that are slightly better! read more

Iconic bowl of wonton noodles, it's literally the poster child of what I think about when I hear HK-style wonton noodles. Service is super fast and efficient. The wontons are juicy and filled with pork and shrimp. The noodles are crisp and crunchy. The broth is so complex and fragrant with the chives. The bowls are pretty small and I can easily eat two bowls in one sitting. I definitely recommend grabbing a bowl while in Hong Kong and I will dream about the day I can have another one. read more

Tasty. A well known name and for good reason. With locations across HK you can count on a good bowl of wonton noodles easily. Shrimpy wontons, light and tasty broth, bouncy noodles. Can't go wrong. It's a small bowl but you can bulk it up with brisket (but note it flavors the soup) and some veggies on the side. Quick reliable meal, worth a visit if you've never been. read more

A must go every time I come to HK. I typically stay in TST and eat here and across the street at the Shanghai Fried Dumpling place. Both are amazing. It's small (VERY small) but the food's so good and they're so efficient at getting you in and out (if you want quick) that it doesn't matter. I wouldn't ever go here for a fancy dinner or date, but business trip? Quick "I just landed and want food" situation? this place is the go to. read more

麥奀雲吞麵世家 - Part of the menu. Signature Won Ton Noodles, the only thing you really need to order if you're stopping by - Congee Near Me - Hong Kong, HK

My cousin recommended Mak's Noodle after I asked him where he thought had legit won ton mein in Hong Kong. He just went to Hong Kong and loves won ton mein as much as me so I made sure to put Mak's Noodle on our itinerary. If they have been making won ton mein since the 1920's, earned 1 Michelin Star and with so many locations, they must be good. I read that they are usually busy with a line but when we arrived, we were fortunate to be seated right away. It was surprising due to the rainy weather but I'm not complaining. The restaurant is clean and upscale looking. Customer service was friendly but a little slow. I have to admit I didn't know what to order but I finally decided on Beef Tendon & Wonton Noodles. Mink got the Beef Brisket & Wonton Noodles. I also ordered a side of Pig Feet for the table to share. The noodles in the wonton mein were the perfect amount of chewiness and the broth was so good. Each piece of wonton was plump and the tendon was so soft. Mink's beef brisket was tender and the pig feet was just falling off the bones. It was a great recommendation by my cousin and I can't wait to come back. read more

Wonton mein was one of my must eats during our trip to HK, and Mak's noodle did not disappoint. My fiance & I both ordered a wonton mein (+brisket for his) and a plate of veggies, which came out to $156 HKD. Wonton mein here was good - the noodles had a really springy texture, broth was well seasoned, and the wontons were tasty. The pictures are a bit deceiving - the portions look massive, but our actual orders weren't too big. It was a decent portion, but not large by any means. My fiance's wonton mein bordered a bit on the saltier side with the addition of the brisket sauce, but it did add to the depth of flavor. I wouldn't say that Mak's was my favorite wonton mein overall during this trip, but that's really because of the quality of food in HK overall. There are better options elsewhere, but this was a solid option nonetheless. read more

Food tasted great but my daughter has a peanut allergy. I asked if there were any peanuts in the wonton noodle soup or the beef brisket and was told no. However, after a few minutes of ingesting it, my daughter had a strong reaction and vomited twice. So warning for those who have peanut allergies, be cautious! read more

Authentic wonton noodle soup. A must try in HK. Service and ambiance are just what you expect from traditional restaurant here

4 small pieces of shrimp wonton with noodles for $51. Tasty (broth is mild) but small portion even for a small eater like me. Not impressed. Service good and fast. read more

Best wonton noodle soup I've had in HK as of yet. The noodles are very springy without any ammonia taste/smell. The wontons were also very plump and the beef brisket wasn't skimped. There wasn't any line and plenty of seating around 3pm! read more

Good food. Strange that its basically across the street from Chee Kei (another one of the HK wonton noodle institutions). Great texture for the noodles, good soup, and tasty wontons. Good value at under 50hkd for a bowl. Good value being so close (walking distance) from the high end shops, museums, etc in TST. read more

Prices: Signature Wonton ($43 HKD) + Braised Knuckle Noodle ($47 HKD) I absolutely love the wontons here. They're not too big and not too small, it's soft and silky as well. It's amazing. The soup based for the wonton was also on point. I wish I went back a couple more times.. The Braised Knuckle Noodle on the other hand was just okay, the soup wasn't as flavorful as I expect. Overall, I still give this place a 5/5 because how much I enjoyed the wontons. FYI, they have an English menu, just need to as for it read more

This is the best wonton noodles that you can find in HK and in the world. You would regret if you don't try it before you leave HK.

Was looking for a quick bite while shopping at the mall and of course had to try Mak's noodle! Luckily there wasn't a wait so we were able to be seated quickly and the food came out quite fast as well. The restaurant is very clea We ordered the wonton noodle with dumplings and fish congee. Both were very good and tasted clean (not oily). The serving portions are small given the price but makes for a good quick bite. read more

After watching the Symphony of Lights show, I was feeling quite hungry and in need of some food. However since it was already quite late and I was the only one hungry, so we just wanted to grab something small and fast to eat. Mak's Noodle seemed like a good choice, and it was also a highly recommended chain to try out in HK. The restaurant is your typical kind of HK restaurant, kind of hole-in-the-wall, nothing fancy. We were greeted by this older man, who was quite funny. I find that service in HK is usually quite lacking, especially if you're not a Canto-speaker (we speak Mandarin), but this man was more friendly/funny than rude. So props to him. There is a 30 HKD minimum per person requirement. That's really not a lot of money, but since there were two of us and I was the only person really hungry, we did order a drink, the Soymilk (10HKD) as well. We got the Brisket and Wonton Noodle Soup (53 HKD) which seemed to be the most recommended from my research. Really quite simple, but the soup was flavorful, the noodles chewy, and the meat tender. The wontons weren't really my style though, as it was just a piece of shrimp inside, and a little bit fishy. The biggest thing was that the portion size was surprisingly small, and I also wish there had been some greens inside the dish. This is a decent spot if you want something quick to eat, and especially would be great for a late night snack. But with all the great food HK has to offer, I really think this place is on the average side. read more

麥奀雲吞麵世家 - Brisket and Wonton Noodle Soup (53 HKD) - Congee Near Me - Hong Kong, HK

If you want the best wonton noodle in your life than this is the place however it won't fill you up and you likely need to order 1 or 2 more order and that quickly can add the bill. It is more expensive than any wonton noodle in LA in term of size comparison but is better but isn't really that much better for that portion is all up to you. The quality of the wonton is second to none and the noodle and soup were just near perfection. However the portion is just way too small but isn't unfamilier to people who eat a lot michelin list restaurant that usually is all about quality and not the size. read more

Non-descript little dive with ample staff, multilingual menu, and low, low prices. I ordered the beef brisket with noodles which came with a cup of chicken soup and hot tea. Nothing fancy but at only $53 HKD how could you protest? The flavor of the brisket was deep with a five spice background. Mmmm. Cash only. Staff smiles unfortunately were rarely found (hence a one star deduct). Otherwise, give 'em a whirl. read more

Of course a visit to HK will not be complete without searching for the best wonton noodle soup. Ironically, this was the first one during our 4 day stay in HK. We initially wanted to try the one "across the street" but it was pretty busy. When traveling, i typically pick places that are full of locals...not tourists. Mak's was kinda empty so i was skeptical, but it was getting late and we were hungry. I'm glad i went. The wonton soup was delicious. The flavor is in your face, so those that don't like the fishy taste might be turned off. But after trying 4-5 other "must try recommendations" throughout HK, I think Mak's was the best in terms of flavor. After paying, the manager/owner/hostess guy pointed to a picture of Anthony Bourdain who visited and "recommended" Mak's (many years ago). I love Anthony Bourdain, so i'm happy our taste buds are on the same level lol. read more

Noodle place near our hotel. We had a bowl of wonton noodle and prawn dry noodles with soup on the side. My wife had the pig trotters which she said very delicious and she needed it to make her knees stronger (sic!). For me, all quite delicious, I tried both of the noodles. Fresh prawns and good wontons. Good and fast service too. read more

I can't understand how this place is getting good ratings. If you check my history, I am in most cases, an overly fair reviewer. But there is no chance this is getting more than 2.5 stars which I've rounded up to 3 because the taste was decent. The value for money here is just nowhere near what it should be. I got the Bowl of Wonton and Shrimp Soup, as it's a Hong Kong staple, and the size of the bowl was literally enough to fill a hamster's stomach. I paid $53 HK for it and was expecting something roughly double the size. The taste itself is pretty okay. It's average for Hong Kong. The dumplings were good and really thick and explosively juicy. They were the best part about the dish, as should be. But the noodles were so mediocre. The dish came out hot but the noodles were still a bit tough and not aesthetic, even after letting them soak in the hot broth. The only thing less appealing than the noodles *was* the broth. I don't care what noodle dish in the world it is, the broth should be one of the stars of the show. This was just salt and was unbelievably generic. There was no complexity in the taste like you might find at other noodle spots very close by. Overall, I left still hungry and had to go to the convenience store to finish buying more food for breakfast. This is absolutely not the best a Hong Kong has to offer and I'm truly confused on how there are 5 star reviews. Must be new travelers to the city that don't know where the prime spots are. A lucky 3 stars, should maybe be 2. read more

I'm a big fan of noodle soups the world over, from ramen, TW beef noodle soup, pho, hu tieu, bun bo hue, bun riu, jjampong, laksa, bee hoon, the list goes on and on. so it goes as no surprise that I make a visit to Mak's noodles whenever I'm in HK. they might not be the best, and they definitely aren't the most value, but they provide a fantastic all around experience - solid depth of flavor in the 5 spice broth, good amount of al dente chew in the thin egg noodles, and pretty solid toppings in the wontons and beef tendons and/or brisket. I think there are better noodles elsewhere, and better toppings elsewhere, and definitely better value elsewhere (ahem - across the street), but the overall package at Mak's is the better meal. and I would be hard pressed to find a better broth for wonton noodle than Mak's. as a minor nit - I found the original location to be better than the newer branches. both in consistency of flavors and in tenderness of meats/tendons. read more

Came to this for a late night dinner and Mak's did not disappoint for some great Wonton and noodle soup! For American standards, these bowls are tiny! I would suggest two or get a plate of something else like I did (I also got some dry noodles with shrimp too). Very clean, a little pricier, but I would say worth. read more

麥奀雲吞麵世家 - Noodles and Wonton! - Congee Near Me - Hong Kong, HK

This is the correct way to use five spice, right here at Mak's Noodle. The wrong way to use five spice, found pretty much everywhere else, is as follows: "These spices taste so good together! Let's make sure my food tastes like these spices." Contrast that with the right way: "These spices taste good together! Let's make sure my food has enough of its own flavor to stand up to them and be set off, not overwhelmed, by them." The broth here tastes mostly of dried fish, a dark flavor not replicable with msg (though many try). The noodles, clearly handmade and gathered in the bowl like a sea anemone, taste just like the duck eggs they're made from. And I was lucky enough to order the bowl with both saltwater prawns and pork fungus wontons, because both had extremely different flavors. The shrimp was mild and aggressively fresh, all of its salt straight from the sea. The wontons had that nice seaweedy crunch that comes from wood ear mushrooms. The skin on both was firm but not chewy... like the dim sum I had the previous day, the wrap dissolved when it sensed it was no longer needed. Before Hong Kong, I never experienced a well made wonton/dumpling wrapper, apparently. My only quibble is the portion size is extremely small. Usually that's a plus for me, as I can't finish restaurant sized portions and enjoy the lowered price tag that usually comes with smaller meals. Here, though, the cost is still around $50 and I was hungry enough afterwards that I had to eat one of my emergency travel granola bars. read more

This is a must stop for me. And it has never failed throughout the years. Facing tough competition from all the other excellent won ton noodle stores, it has continued to improve. My last visit revealed a renovated new store at the same address. It's brighter and more spacious now. Ultimately, it's the food that counts. A well deserved Michelin's recommendation. read more
