New Hong Kong Snack House aka NHK is a borderline religion or drug addiction in food form to people. They are soo successful that being open for breakfast or dinner is not necessary.
The hole in the wall interior always brings back memories and honestly, I hope it never changes. Staff is attentive, friendly and the customers are a mix from business men to high school students to foodies.

The bottom line: If you're hungry, Winnipeg has many other full-menu traditional Chinese restaurants that are open later than 3 pm on a weekday and will satiate your...

Something about it is different and special.. once you eat here you know there is no where else like it.. it's hard to describe but I highly recommend it. Begginer plate is a great intro I'd you're new or just want a bit of everything. The spare rib on rice is my favorite dish, everything is cooked fresh to...
