Ignore any negative reviews, this restaurant is da bomb!. We love it!! It's our favourite restaurant in Wan Chai, maybe even in Hong Kong! We usually come here at least once a month and we always bring visitors here on their first night!Atmosphere is very local - noisy but entertaining! Can be very "cosy" - Better to come in a group of people so that you don't have to share your table with strangers. Waiters are very friendly and helpful especially if you're willing to try some putonghua out - t

Waiters are very friendly and helpful especially if you're willing to try some putonghua out - they love it! The aircon is probably the coldest in Hong Kong though so make sure you pack some thermals!!
From reading other reviews and observation at the restaurant I think westerners may get a different menu but it doesn't bother me as you can still ordersome pretty tasty dishes.
We usually order;
10 pieces xiao long bao (steamed pork bun in a bite of 10) gotta love the chinglish menu. I noticed a guy complain that his xiao long bao didn't have enough soup in. Trust me any more soup in these bad boys and you'd burn your tounge off permanently! Super tasty!
Braised fish in chilli sauce (No idea what type of fish, think type and price changes with whats available at the market so this dish can end up a little pricey but it always tastes divine!)
Chicken with cashews. Does what it says on the tin, very tasty.
minced pork and tofu/bean curd in chilli sauce. Best dish on the menu in my opinion and I usually hate tofu!!
Egg fried rice
baby bok choi vegetables (we usually ask for this to be served with that thick dark sauce think it's called hoi sin?)
I'm afraid to say that I haven't tried the dan dan noodles here yet. But thats because the dishes above are so tasty that whenever we come here I always have to order my favourites first!!
