Shake Shack (ELEMENTS) — Restaurant in Hong Kong

Shake Shack arrived here in Hong Kong a couple years ago and has done rather well. There are now six branches strategically located around the city in shopping malls with heavy foot traffic including the branch at Elements Mall in TST. Opening hours are 11am to 8.30pm daily.

Note: Presently during the pandemic there are strict rules on how many people are allowed within the seating area of all restaurants. Shake Shack branches have larger than average seating areas so there is a good chance you will find an available table. If not or if you simply prefer to eat from within the comfort of your area office, home or hotel, you can simply order take-away or even delivery through deliveroo or foodpanda.

We recently enjoyed a couple SmokeShack burgers, which were grilled nicely. Bacon topping was nice, the chopped cherry peppers were hotter than usual, much to our satisfaction. However, some may have found this too hot. If so, just remove some of the peppers and enjoy the rest. Fries were just fine, the peanut butter shake very thick this time around. Nice job.

Overall, Shake Shack branches in Hong Kong now seem much more consistent with the quality of the burger experience of the Manhattan based Shake Shacks. This wasn't what we found when they first opened here in HK but does seem to be...

Truffle burger has a very good taste. Def recommend. Double Shake Burger terrible, none of us enjoyed eating it. The taste was just bad.

General comment on burgers: I actually didn’t mind the bread texture, but my bf didn’t enjoy it. It reminded him of butter bread type.

Cheese fries average. The cheese sauce was tasty but the fries were tought and not so tasty.

B&w milkshake I personally didn’t like it but my bf liked it. For me, tasted like melted ice cream. Strawberry Yuzu lemonade, I liked it! But watch out. you will only like it if you like sour taste.

Experience would had been better if we didn’t had ordered that double Shake Burger. Try something different. Expensive for the offered product, but, indeed, it is one of the cheapest things to eat at Elements (if you don’t wanna go to...

Ordered Shake Shacks new BBQ collection - BBQ Shackmeister Burger ($60HKD), BBQ Bacon Cheese Fries ($40HKD), A signature double cheese burger and a lemonade for dinner.

The new series is quite satisfying. The all-natural angus beef cheeseburger topped with crispy ShackMeister ale-marinated shallots and Shack BBQ sauce match very well. The crispy shallots add a lot of flavourings and texture to every bite.

Two critics were the bread is too airy and lacks a sense of crunchiness on top, while the beef patty is too soft and not firm enough. Would have been better if they can have the patty with chewiness.

Fries aren’t that crispy when they are topped with all-natural Applewood smoked bacon, Shack BBQ Sauce, and cheese sauces. Perhaps a bit too heavy loaded and makes them...
