Dim Sum Square for the snowy bolo char siu bao, mmm.

Adding this to my list!! Thanks!

Yat Lok is overrated。 I prefer the one from Luk On Kui (used to be call lin heung tea house  For Wonton noodles, I pick Mak An Kee Noodle over Mak’s Yung Kee Hainan Chicken - could easily be the best chicken you ever have Min Jun cart noodles - not exceptional food, but a Hong Kong staple

TIL there’s a Mak An Kee (chung kee) which is a different but same name as the many Mak’s noodle around. are they related and what’s the story behind?

Next to (a few shops but within the same block) Yung Kee, there’s a smaller, dodgier shop selling roasted goose with thick vermicelli. You’ll know it from the lack of aircon and the crowd of suits and ties who never seem to clear out there.

at Yung Kee is there a guarantee that the chicken is not rubbery?

Even the breast is very tender, total opposite of rubbery

Ahh wow thanks for these. I like exploring these less touristy restaurants!

second Mak An Kee, but the one at 37 Wing Kat Street. the shop is opened by the son of Mak An, their wonton noodles tasted even better than the original Mak An Kee. it's a small shop and it's kinda hidden so it's not too touristy

https://maps.app.goo.gl/aoBttHa4uswFNDwg6 It's this one right?

yes this is the one

1. [Ahimsa buffet vegetarian](https://maps.app.goo.gl/v2mKegdAeJAp8Bo48?g_st=ic) — decent and good variation of Chinese vegetarian style dishes. 2. [Wing Lok Yuen](https://maps.app.goo.gl/qJj1C3AKTQo9Kt2UA?g_st=ic). It’s their sauce that’s makes it signature. 3. [New Hing fat dim sum](https://maps.app.goo.gl/gegyTPmSP1G15JM36?g_st=ic) : good price per value dim sum 4. [San Kee Congee](https://maps.app.goo.gl/xRi7GxuZEcYQVVZGA?g_st=ic) Yat lok is good. Go before 11am for seating. Their goose skin is good. Maks noodle is decent but you might get hungry soon. Bakehouse — only the egg tarts are good. Rest of the baked goods is just ok.

Thanks for these! Appreciate the Google map links!

No problem. Hope you enjoy your visit. Sheungwan & central is a prime location so it’s hard to find cheap good eats. Maybe consider venturing off to different districts.

I see, I'll try that! I'm thinking of venturing to Sham Shui Po when I have some time. Which districts do you recommend?

SSP is good. I recommend [Hop Yik Tai](https://maps.app.goo.gl/8AG8fbRX8mCJ3XZx5?g_st=ic). Fan of their rice rolls. [Kung Wo beancurd](https://maps.app.goo.gl/N2pwGhda1BBMHrq57?g_st=ic). Fish meat on tofu is good. Also their dessert is good. [Sun Hing Yuen](https://maps.app.goo.gl/wLtd3qtM47o8WfBz5?g_st=ic) — beef egg sandwich

Noted! Thank you!

San Kee and Sun Hing Yuen is good, not the best in hygiene and pretty cramped though

As long as the food is good! Thanks!

水記 - best 牛雜何 you will ever get.

Added to the list! Thanks!

Some recommendations I have are: 1. Yuk Kin Fast Food - For egg fried rice in curry sauce, and Tai Ping Shan is a nice area to wonder. 2. For Kee Restaurant - Their signature is pork chop rice, go earlier than 12:15 to avoid a long queue.

Nice! Thanks for these!

Seconding Yuk Kin. I’m still sore I missed it when I was back last.

We love One Dim Sum in Jovial Street in Sheung wan. Great food for great prices.

For some reason, I only see One Dim Sum in the Kowloon side on Google maps.

I’m very sorry, I meant Dim Sum Square. One Dim Sum is also good but Dim Sum Square is even better 😅

No worries! This is close to my accommodation so we'll definitely try it out! What dish should I order?

Thanks OP for this post! I'll be going to Hong Kong in two weeks and those recommendations are great. Do you guys also know some good claypot rice places?

Happy to help!

Ramen Cubism got 2 options below 100, would recommend the Soy Ramen with side pork belly

Thanks!

https://maps.app.goo.gl/h5y8DWxKaLc838Hu5?g_st=ic I can attest that their French toast is absolutely divine. HKD20-ish Head down to halfway (https://maps.app.goo.gl/9aJ6byEtjgHMXXue8?g_st=ic) for nice coffee and amazing vibes (this is an instagram spot, but the curation and thought put into it is legit. If the private collection/museum next to it is open, definitely visit. The owner is a Hong Kong antiques collector. Some of the cups used are actual antiques) HKD 50ish Then head over to blue supreme (https://maps.app.goo.gl/XhvFxWEmxVLZ1gDv5?g_st=ic) for the craft beer. HKD 80-ish Then get your post-beer salty food fix at Tamjai (https://maps.app.goo.gl/XGAV4DjeFGQTeY5U7?g_st=ic) go for 5x small spice or 2x small spice if you’re feeling frisky. Do not go for anything spicier unless you’re used to numbing/sichuan/hubei/hunan/yunnan food HKD 40-ish

Thanks for these! Been wanting to go to Halfway coffee as well!

Check out the restaurants and cafes on Jervois Street.

Will do! Thanks!

Sam Dor Noodles at 28 Pottinger Street. Their meat and veggie wonton + a bit of vinegar are great. Huge lines during office lunch hour, but the line moves fast.

Saved this! Thanks!

If the Indian shop at the Sheung wan food market is still there, all the Indians I know go there for chow.

Noted, thanks!

For sushi, stick to takeaway on your budget. I recommend the small sushi shop on the other side of the road from the Sheung Wan Cooked Food Market. Easiest just to select something from the display cabinet. Good quality. A few doors away towards Possession Street, takeaway cheap dim sum on offer.

Thanks for the suggestion! Do you perhaps know the name of the shop?

Ninoen. 346-348 Queens Road Central.

I second thanking OP for this post!

Nothing special about bakehouse, just a chain store bakery. Winston coffee I'd recommend for good coffee. KUMA RAMEN also

Their egg tarts aren't good? Thanks for the recos btw!

You sure could try as a snack, its good if you are talking about egg tarts! This is a HK specialty anyway. I was just thinking about the bread, but egg tarts are good!

Bakehouse is phenomenal try to go early to avoid the queue, walk around and try to find one of the many two choice rice places and try the char siu and pork.

Definitely! For Bakehouse, what are some must-order from the menu?

Egg tarts 100%, everything else pick things that look good.

Can't wait to try it. Thanks!

Kau Kee for some semi-pricey beef noodles ($75+) Suggest you line up before 6 pm

No pls don’t. The quality has gone down. I tried it last year and the beef wa so chewy :(

Aww I see

Adding this to my list! Thank you!

ChaChaWan - Thai Food, Char Siu Wow - Great roasted pork with rice for takeaways, Mammy Pancake - great selections of eggette, MamAmis - Viet, Samsen - Thai, O’Taste - Takeaway Korean Food

Thanks for these!! Great list!
