Worth a stop if nearby

“Signature turnip cake, a complete Hong Kong dining sequence, and retro décor provide clear reasons to visit, backed by an official brand history. The food is Hong Kong cuisine and gains no local-cuisine credit.”

● Mong Kok Lo Mein

This rich noodle dish coats strands in a thick cheesy cream sauce. Bean sprouts and secret chili sauce keep the middle of the meal from becoming too heavy. Add Matsusaka pork and shrimp for fuller layers and a substantial main that is easy to finish without tricks.

● Curry Fish Balls

Curry aroma is immediate, mildly spicy and rich, carrying the spirit of Hong Kong street snacks. Springy fish balls have clear chew, and the sauce gives them more dimension. The modest serving works as an appetizer or beside a main, with an aroma that encourages one bite after another.
