Ask anybody who has the best beef brisket in HK and you will invariably be pointed to Kau Kee in Central. It is, by far the most famous beef noodle shop in the territory, and if you decide to venture out there, be prepared. For one, you will most likely be facing a long wait to sit at one of their stools, elbow to elbow with the other customers. Secondly, the staff are quite curt. Don't take your time making an order if you don't want them to glare at you impatiently. They know Kau Kee is famous

Don't take your time making an order if you don't want them to glare at you impatiently. They know Kau Kee is famous, and they don't have to treat you nicely. You don't like it? There's a line of others who will take their crappy attitude. They aren't exactly "Brisket Nazis", but don't expect a smile either
Most importantly, the food... it certainly is good, but I've had better. On my last two visits, I found their broth to be quite salty and a bit greasy (actually that is on purpose. If you want your soup greaseless, you have to order it specifically that way. I am not kidding).
The range of choices on their menu is limited, and if you want beef tendon, the only way you can get it is with the Curry Brisket. But why would you order Curry Brisket which would only overpower any beef flavor in the dish? No, you came here specifically to taste their famous brisket noodles in soup... not a generic curry powder
Lastly, make sure you know their hours of operation. They close from 7:15 to 8:30 every evening and are closed all day on Sundays. I guess they don't need your business...
For my money, I prefer Kwan Kee in Tai Po (http://www.openrice.com/english/restaurant/sr2.htm?shopid=13125), by far a better brisket and better eating experience...
