Summary: Great Thai boat noodle (personally think it's the best in HK). The Goods: Of course great food, boat noodle is the best dish that you have to order. Other dishes are quite authentic too, but not my personal highlight (would rather pay less in another restaurant). Nice and clean decoration, staffs are helpful and polite. The Bad: Expensive (see below). The wait is long (30 mins) and hot during lunch, there's not much shades for queuing.Damage: Three of us spent $218 per person for 1 main
The Goods: Of course great food, boat noodle is the best dish that you have to order. Other dishes are quite authentic too, but not my personal highlight (would rather pay less in another restaurant). Nice and clean decoration, staffs are helpful and polite.
The Bad: Expensive (see below). The wait is long (30 mins) and hot during lunch, there's not much shades for queuing.
Damage: Three of us spent $218 per person for 1 main each, and shared 1 appetizer and 1 dessert, no drinks.
What we ordered: For the 3 of us, we ordered 2 boat noodle, 1 pad Thai, 1 green mango spicy salad (see photo below), 1 coconut ice cream. I will say they're all authentic, but the highlight is with boat noodle. The portion is also alright. You can be full with just one main.
This is my 3rd time visiting this shop in Wan Chai. Despite my hate of long wait and low budget, I always come back for their famous boat noodle every time I have a craving. Personally, I say it is the best boat noodle in Hong Kong.
Our wait is 30 mins which is not bad but it was hot and there isn't much shades to avoid the sunlight during lunch time. There's no reservation too. From memory, dinner time is even busier but they also have more food selection to pick from (their papaya salad is really not bad). Nice and clean deco. Staffs are very polite and helpful.
Boat noodle is by far the best dish. It is expensive but in all fairness they use Wagyu beef. The best part of this is their broth, it is thick and tasteful. I think it's a bit too thick (compared to the ones in Thailand) but that's still great. They also have chill vinegar and chili oil as condiment to add some spice to the dish, very authentic.

Pad Thai is quite standard but also not bad in my opinion. However, I think you can find cheaper price at other restaurants. Prawn is great though, quite fresh and big.

Green mango spicy salad is a tad too sweet, and could be more sour. However, it is still within acceptable range (by me) and perhaps works more for international taste buds. I like the fact that they use dried shrimp; quite nice and authentic. Would recommend this dish really.

Coconut ice scream is alright. I think they use too much cream when compared to original ones that use predominantly coconut milk. Other than that have no other complaint.
