I have heard so much about their pork buns (char siu bao) that even though I cannot eat pork, I went with someone who can and had that other person eat the inside pork so that I may enjoy the sauce inside and the outside bun. The bun is light and airy, with a cresp outside unlike any other bun that I've tried. Everything is fresh and hot, made to order. The chopped fish in thin tofu skin was unbelieveable. They somehow had turned the fish into some material like a fish ball, but even more airy a
I have heard so much about their pork buns (char siu bao) that even though I cannot eat pork, I went with someone who can and had that other person eat the inside pork so that I may enjoy the sauce inside and the outside bun. The bun is light and airy, with a cresp outside unlike any other bun that I've tried. Everything is fresh and hot, made to order. The chopped fish in thin tofu skin was unbelieveable. They somehow had turned the fish into some material like a fish ball, but even more airy and light. I enjoyed it immensely and the price was cheaper than many other restaurants of this caliber. However, don't think that you will spend less money here because the food is so good, you'll want to order many dishes.
That said, I'm kinda disappointed in the cleanliness of the restaurant. I wiped the bowl that they gave me to eat out of with a napkin and it turned BROWN. Whenever I eat at dai pai dongs or food stalls, I bring alcohol wipes. Luckily, I brought some alcohol wipes.
You wait 20 min to be seated, but I don't mind because you submit your food order before you start waiting when you first take a number to wait in line to be seated. That way, when you finally get seated, the food is ready and brought to your table immediately. Therefore, although you wait to be seated, you don't wait for them to cook the food because they're cooking the food while you're waiting. Hong Kong efficiency at it's finest.
I recommend this restaurant.. I personally go there every week. The food is excellent. However, do bring alcohol wipes because their level of cleanliness is the same as a dai pai dong or food stall at the wet market.
