been dying to try this place out to see what the fuss was about and very nearly didn't make it as i was ravenous making my way over from hong kong side... but i thought id be a trooper and brave it through...and boy am i glad i did!i ordered the hamburger with egg and an iced lemon tea... ($26)when it came the sauce was dripping out the side so i had a quick lick and it was to die for .. yet another sweet, slightly tangy sauce to compliment the juicy patty (i'm a huge fan - see my wing lok yuen entry)the egg was an ingenious touch (i'd never think to add egg!) and the whole thing really came together nicelyone bite and i was hooked (or should i say lick!?) -that's all it took!this place without a doubt puts all the major burger names to shame!go get several today! i know i'll definitely be back!p.s save some room for a quick trip over to mammy pancake and sample one of their egg waffles! another must try!

So I wanted to try it out since a few of my friends mentioned this place is famous for their burgers.

We entered, and told the cashier 4 cheeseburgers for take away, paid $100, got the change (1 x $50, 1 x $10 bill, 1 x $5 coin and 1 x $1 coin) and sat down to wait. When they were calling our number, we saw they were giving us 1 burger. So we checked our receipt and saw the cashier only punched 1 burger and that's when we realized he got our order wrong and also gave us the wrong change. On the receipt, our change should have been $86 but we only got $66. We asked the cashier if he gave us the right change and he said yes. I checked my wallet again and found that even with all the loose change plus the $50 and $10 bill, it doesn't amount to $86. I brought this to cashier's attention and he immediately dismisses my complaint growling at me saying "No, I gave you the $86". At one point he even slipped and said $66 by mistake but when I pointed it out, he of course denied it.

$20 is not that big of a deal but if you're going to be dishonest with your customers, you're off my book and I'll be sure to tell everyone I know. I know it's my fault not checking if the change was correct but it doesn't give you the right to be inconsiderate and rude.

ALL IN ALL: Burger is mediocre but the cheap price makes it attractive, SERVICE IS BAD.

I'm sure if you are a foodie/food lover, you would have definitely heard of the name 時新.
And if you do happened to live in Kowloon or Hung Hom like me, you would definitely paid countless visits to 時新.

Although an extremly lazy person like me rarely goes as far as 時新 from my home. I do happened to go there once I get the chance.
Thanks to C who hadn't tried 時新 before, I got a reason to persuade myself to taste the heavenly HK styled hamburger once again.

It was clear to us that without doing much thinking, we decided to order two Double Cheese and Egg Hamburger (雙層芝士蛋漢堡) right away. Perhaps the only thing you would comment on your whole experience at 時新 is the waiting period. The waiting period took quite a while, at least 5-10 minutes. The shop was small and crowded, with limited seats and air-conditioning/fans, we had no choice but to stand by the serving bar...it wasn't a pleasant wait.Nevertheless, just by starring at this busy lady trying hard to fry the eggs and beef in a short amount of time was enough to make me forgotten about the waiting for a while. It was quite an amazing scenery to watch. We didn't dine in due to the unattractive seating conditions. We decided to do takeaways instead. The packaging of the hamburgers were quite special and attractive, at least is something of a special design that I would take a second to look at.I can gurantee you that, the following process is as the most heavenly eating experience you could imagine for hamburgers. Just by pulling down the plastic paper was enough to electrify your smelling sense! And the next second your eyes are telling you that a freshly cooked beef, nicely fried double egg, and just-melted double layered of cheese were greatly placed in between two soft pieces of bread. Not only did they smell good but every bite I had, the ingredients of the hamburger were greatly combined in terms of flavour and texture. We chose the sauce as Salad dressing so it provided a lighter flavour along with the freshly cooked beef and the plain flavour of egg and cheese. I guess anything that is freshly cooked would be good - and same for this fantastic hamburger.

Only one thing to comment would be the size of the hamburger was quite small. I could still remember the first time I had this was around 3 - 4 years ago, the hamburger was slightly bigger and the price was cheaper.. too bad.
All in all, 時新 is definitely going to be my all time favourite and I dare to say that 時新 is the proud of Hong Kong. The only place that you can find good HK Styled Hamburgers!

With 700+ people before me, there's not much more I can add but to add one more Smile to the rating. The double cheeseburger was nice and juicy - so many places in HK mess up this basic detail. This place did not disappoint! Awesome!

This place does not disappoint, for mcd pricing, this is so much better. I ordered the double cheeseburger and although small, it was fantastic.
One was not enough, but at that price just order another one.

Finally a decent burger in HK. This reminds me of the buger vans in the UK, always very tasty and smell great.

Although small, the price is small. Go for the double cheeseburger with egg for $16. Lovely

No wonder this restaurant has such great reviews! I love their tasty yet cheap pork w. egg burger. Normally there is a long wait, but if you go around 12 (when it first open) or in the afternoon (2-5pm), then you can probably get a seat.

Asked my colleague to help me get a pork sausage burger with egg to go while they ate there for breakfast. Although the location of our office and the store is 10 minutes away, the burger was still warm while it reached my hands.

TASTE
Seriously the taste is better than the one at Mc D. They use the same Garden bread, so no expectation for that, at least it's soft and warm. The sausage itself is minced, even mixed with some fish aroma. The sauce I 've chosen was salad one, although I 'd say it's like tartar sauce. With some chopped onions inside, and the egg inside is kind of over medium type.

OVERALL
It's quite filling for me (mid 20's girl) for breakfast. Be prepared that you might need a mouth rinse after that, thanks to the onions inside.

Will definitely have it again.

I went to this place again of the massive number of excellent reviews.
I visit 時新快餐店 on 7/10/10, before Miriam Yeung Concert.
I want 25min for one double chesse burger with egg $16.
For me, it was nothing special. The patties were small. The sauce was all the bag,
The bun was too soft, so when you bite into the burger everything just falls apart.
I would not go back there again on purpose.

Had breakfast in the morning so not feeling want to eat anything at lunch....so at tea time felt a bit hungry, so immediately thought of going to 時新for their burger...

When arrived, surprisingly not a long queue but 2 person ahead of me only...saw a couple having burger and fried chicken leg, the chicken leg smell so good and look juicy, but is too much for both chicken leg and burger...so I decided to give the chicken leg a try!

For $10, I waited about 7 mins and when I picked it up, it was so hot!!!

Can't resist with it's smell I was eating right outside the store...not to bother finding a seat or bring it home....it's so juicy where all the juicy were collected in the plastic bag

Taste is just right, you can tell it's cooked from raw to well done, not like other fast food store to cook half way then when someone ordered they just fried it for a minute...which make all the juicy gone...

I really appreciate they still stick with the traditional cooking, it's fast food but still maintain the good way to cook, not like those chained fast food store to have everything prepared to be more efficient....well just a min or two quicker but the taste make a hugh different!!!
