note: Actually didn't went to this particular one, as they have 2 other restaurants. The review is for the one at Prince Edward - Ground Floor, 64 Lai Chi Kok road, Prince Edward (MTR Prince Edward A2 exit)*
What an amazing meal to have. Went there with a friend who highly recommend this place.
Service is great and waiters were checking with us quite a few things to make sure things are okay.
Food here is excellent! Never would I have believe to eat the sweet and sour pork cold. Yes that dish comes with ice. It is this place speciality. The chilling from the ice actually makes the batter on the pork quite crispy. So you don't dig right in as soon as the dish is served. Give a few minutes for the cooling to happen. This is totally amazing.
The salt and pepper squid - never would I thought I can taste the freshness of the squid and the actual taste of it in this dish. The batter is so light and crispy. A total delight to enjoy.
The rest of the dishes are equally excellent in their own merits. The noodle is not oily (which is very common problem), the chicken is soft and juicy, even the veg is delightful.
Overall this place is highly recommended! Before I forget, pricing is great. All these and drink, only set us back under HKD600. Where else can you get food...

The food at this place absolutely blew my mind. There were only two of us, so sadly we couldn’t order the entire menu, but we tried the infamous Gu Lao Rou in ice bath. Yes, sweet-and-sour pork literally chilling in ice water. Sounds strange, but it’s incredibly refreshing. Normally Gu Lao Rou is served hot, but here the ice makes it even crispier, and the pork itself feels more firm and springy.
We also ordered salt and pepper mantis shrimp—on a completely different level. The shrimp was perfectly crispy-flaky while still amazingly fresh. Each bite makes you want to smile like an idiot.
The service was welcoming and warm, though with a bit of that authentic Hong Kong flair—if it gets busy, expect efficiency over small talk (and honestly, that’s part...
Read moreWent at 9pm. The Gu Lo Yuk in ice was bad, even though we were recommended to try. Price is not cheap. Came because 'Albert' said its good. We landed in HK late and this was the first restaurant we went due to the recommendation. It helps to make other food in HK nicer the...
