(From my Yelp review, abandoned in favour of Google Guides.) 5 stars! One star each for Service, Food, Ambience, Price and "Will I come back?" Ho Hung Kee has moved to this sparkly new place on the 12th floor of Hysan Place. Even though the reason for the move is ugly, the fresh, clean restaurant is BEAUTIFUL. (TL;DR version of why they moved: They got really really popular, landlords raised the rent ridiculously high or something. Greed wins again.) Noodles in light broth was springy and delicious. I had mine with slices of lightly cooked liver. SO good. (See pics!) I also ordered steamed rice rolls with prawn filling. Fresh and savoury goodness. Service is very brisk but pleasant. Miles better than the normal surly service you'd get from the more local restaurants. Price is slightly higher than what you'd pay in local cafes, but for the cleanliness, speed and good food, the price is very fair. Ambiance is great, you'd love how fast they turn tables here. Usually there is a line, but it moves fast. "Will I come back?" Yes. I dream of the noodles.

Just loved the homemade Wonton’s! They are so well made and taste really wonderful. The soup was good but needed some soy sauce for extra taste. I really loved the beancurd roll with pork and shrimps, great tasting rolls! BBQ pork was out of stock, what I found a bit weird as you’ll find BBQ pork all over HK! Strangely enough, the rice noodle rolls with BBQ Pork was still available and they were really great! The interior is not my cup of tea but I can imagine some people may find it fantastic. The service was ok but not exceptional. Overall, I really enjoyed the food and was surprised it received a Michelin Star. Although it’s not the kind of dishes and service you would expect in a Michelin Star restaurant, I really think it’s worth a visit! I would have given it 5 stars if they would have had the BBQ pork in stock! So, 4 stars it is…

Despite getting consecutive years of Michelin 1-star (they proudly display it at their entrance), the Google reviews here are quite poor so is there a disconnect between people’s taste buds and the Michelin inspectors? I tried their chef-recommended/famous fish congee and wanton noodle soup and some shrimp dumplings. Honestly, it was both amazing and disappointing at the same time 😂 The steamed fish tasted really fresh but it had a lot of bones in it; also the congee was just average. The noodles were very bland but the wantons were super scrumptious! (one of the best I have eaten thus far). Shrimp dumplings were just normal; perhaps I was expecting more because of their 1-star record 🤔 Overall, I am not too sure whether to love or hate this place; I am on the fence whether to visit again 😐

The staff is pretty Rude here but they were still decent enough to seat us and give us some recommendations. There’s a queue system with numbers. We were lured in due to the fact that it has a one Michelin Star but we Weren’t really that impressed with the dim sum or the beef noodles. The guy recommended the stirfried noodles and the wanton mee, we opted for the beef noodles which turned out rather bland. The tofu skin which were stuffed and fried were delicious and so were the steamed Choy sum with the oyster sauce on the side. The bbq pork pastry was ok but it was a sweet ending to the meal. Upon perusing the menu, I realised that it was awarded a Michelin Star for the wanton noodles. Therefore if you want noodles, this might be a good option, not so much for the other stuff.

I think the interior looks quite nice. Unfortunately in comparison to other places, they put on the airconditioning way too high. So we constantly felt cold air on our necks. We ordered a few dishes that were recommended, like the won ton noodle soup. Personally I really didn’t think it was special. The dumplings were quite small, noodles nothing special and the soup a bit plain. The beef rice noodles, I have had them better else where. I found them a bit dry with not a lot of meat. The soybean drink however was quite tasty. We have had a few more other items, but wasn’t anything very special. I do think the service is fine. In terms of price and quality, I wouldn’t return here. Unfortunately I didn’t get anymore pictures, I forgot to make the pictures when the food arrived.

The restaurant actually opened around 1100, and we were seated quickly cos we thought we had to wait in a long queue. The interior is kind of odd, it's like Tiffany & Co jumped into bed with some Chinese-styled Love Hotel 🤔😂🙈 Food is very average. 沒有特別好吃. It's certainly better than the ones in western countries (some). Had high expectations as the restaurant had been recommended by several HK tourist pamphlets (tourist trap! 遊客陷阱真的). I would go if there was no queue, or if you're just in the area :) If i had to choose, my favourite dishes were the black sesame porridge (dessert) and shrimp tofu curd roll? 虎皮捲? Service is minimal to none. There's lots of staff members around, but none seems to be around when you want to order something or get some more tea 😂
