The anticipation had been building for days to try this place with the much vaunted reputation as the "BEST" beef brisket/Nau Lam noodle in HK for over 20 years.Our group of 5 arrived especially early for lunch- we got 2nd in the queue. Within 30 minutes the queue had grown to 40 deep and growing!!When the staff came to open up lets say they werent too friendly with tourists asking them questions.When the doors opened, its all go go go with a well orchestrated system to get patrons seated.Then v
Our group of 5 arrived especially early for lunch- we got 2nd in the queue. Within 30 minutes the queue had grown to 40 deep and growing!!
When the staff came to open up lets say they werent too friendly with tourists asking them questions.
When the doors opened, its all go go go with a well orchestrated system to get patrons seated.
Then very quickly after youve been seated ,the waitress is hovering and pressuring the table for your order with not much time for one to peruse the menu.
Today, only one type of noodle was available although the menu states there are 4 types.
The staff were not into explaining what were the dishes on the menu- they were just trying to get you to order as fast as possible.
It was all a bit too reminscent of the infamous "soup nazi" episode of the Seinfeld TV comdey series.
The food arrives fairly quickly for such a busy+packed to capacity place.
Disappointly, it was not good @ all.
Soup too salty, beef very fatty ,not tender, and very chewy/sinewy!
noodles overcooked.
Decor 3/10
