Hop Sze Restaurant — Restaurant in Hong Kong

Upon entering the restaurant, you could hear that 'wok heiy' from the kitchen with the classic clanking of metal spatula on the wok with the jet engine gas stoves (iykyk). Thats always a great sign that the food is gonna be fire. Ordered the wine steamed 馬友 (thread fin) with preserved ham and their signature hot pot of prawns with cheong fun (thick rice noodles). These dishes are not your stereotypical canton fare and are more specialised dishes. The server recommended their soup as well which i agreed to. The soup itself was full of flavour with quality ingredients and you could tell its been slow cooked to perfection with tender meat and abalone. The fish was the perfect marriage of herbal wine mixed with plenty of fresh spring onion on the of the fish which was cooked perfectly and the preserved ham gave it that kick of extra smoke flavour without overpowering the more delicate taste of the fish. The hot pot of prawns were flavoursome with plenty of spring onion but the star of the dish were the perfectly cooked cheong fun which were crispy with a bit of burnt smokiness on the outside and soft chewiness on the inside. The chilli oil and the complimentary sweet potatoes sweet soup for dessert was a great touch. This is a more discreet restaurant from the outside as it felt they considered the privacy of their inside patrons. The service was on par with the cost, which is on the dearer side. Around 500hkd each for the fish and the prawn hot pot, bringing a lunch to around $1200 for two people. There are other mains for around 200-300 each but really wanted to indulge a bit and went for their signature dishes. 5 stars for the food, would recommend bringing mates and tourists here to taste some of the more unique flavours of HK, 4 stars for being on the...

This restaurant is a branch of the one located at Sai Wan Ho which is smaller and is always full. It mainly offers nostalgic Cantonese cuisines.

The food was ok but the price was on the high side. For example, the tea smoked chicken asked for more than hkd600 for the whole. The chicken itself did not look like a special one. The taste was ok but it was more expensive than the roast goose in some popular roast goose restaurants.

The sweet and sour thousand layered pork did not taste any significant difference to those ordinary ones but the price made a difference.

The almond pig offal soup was yummy.

The shrimp toast was crispy and al dente. Nice.

The crab meat vegetables was pretty average. The clay pot shrimp fried rice roll was OK but not wow and it asked for hkd600+.

The dessert red bean soup was ok too but again pretty ordinary.

Did not order its signature dishes. Hopefully they are better value for money.

This shop is more spacious than its main shop at Sai...

I would say the overall portion is bigger than expected, we ordered 6dishes for sharing + 1soup per head. But we basically takeaway at least half of it. As the pork chop rice is super BIG that can served for 8paxs and the prawns with rice rolls also served with a big claypot.

Highly recommend: almond soup with pork lung: very rich almond flavour, silky smooth and flavourful baked pork chop rice with tomato sauce: soft and fresh pork chop with tangy sweet tomato sauce covered on egg fired rice, no one can resist the yumminess deep fried shrimp toast: very chewy, bouncy and fresh shrimp paste spread on thin toast bread and deep fried. Can def taste the freshness of the shrimp paste on top.

Overall taste are good! Recommended. Just be careful when you order your food, better order less food and add when you don’t think...
