Tien Heung Lau — Restaurant in Kowloon

Two words - not worth it. (Sorry that’s three words)

Service -

first off, I called and made a booking. Then they said they don’t do reservation upon arrival. So did I talk to a ghost or something?

Second, there was a waitress keep pushing us on food but not knowing all the details. Doesn’t know how much the dish is, doesn’t know how big the dish is. And doesn’t give you personal space!

Food -

Minimum charge is 700/head. We were 3 people. Got a little bit of money to play with

Of course we ordered the crab roe noodle - 428. If you are not hungry, order for a mouthful for a taste. Carb roe sauce does not taste particular fresh, does it taste like fresh hairy crab at all. They suggest to serve with vinegar which I did try, basically the vinegar overpowered the sauce. Suggest not to do that

Apprêtiez combo with 3 sorts-

Average, you can get in any Shanghai restaurant. The price wasn’t on the menu , the waitress needed to ask, seems really fishy about not havent price on the menu.

Deep fried frog leg- It’s 88/leg. Generally I don’t eat them, but they did it very good. Very juicy and indeed a big one.

Then some side veggie and deep fried tofu...

我们怀着很高的期待光顾这间香港老字号餐厅，但整体体验却非常令人失望。

最令人反感的是餐厅经理的态度。她极力推销昂贵的菜式，即使我们已经礼貌地拒绝，她仍然不断游说。接着，她竟然说每位最低消费是港币700元，但这个收费在菜单上完全没有注明，也从未在点餐前告知我们。我们甚至怀疑这个收费是否合法。

那天只是平日，餐厅几乎没有客人，只有另外两桌。我们只是想试试这家餐厅的菜式，并不打算吃太多，因为大家都不太饿。我们本希望点一些小份的菜式来试味，但经理却说小份不够我们四个人吃，强迫我们点大份。结果有些菜份量太大，根本吃不完。

更糟糕的是，菜式的质素只能说一般，远远不值每人超过港币700元的消费。餐厅的环境也显得陈旧且不整洁，整体体验非常差。

我们感到遗憾，香港竟然还有这样的餐厅和经营方式。这样的服务只会破坏香港的声誉，尤其是在游客眼中。作为本地人，我们也绝不会再来光顾。

We visited this long-established and once-famous restaurant in Hong Kong with high expectations, but unfortunately, our overall experience was very disappointing.

The biggest letdown was the attitude of the restaurant manager. She was extremely pushy, trying to hard-sell expensive dishes even after we had politely declined. To our surprise, she then claimed there was a minimum charge of HK$700 per person, which was never mentioned on the menu nor communicated to us beforehand. We are not even sure if such a charge is legally justifiable.

It was a regular weekday, and the restaurant was nearly empty—with only two other tables occupied. We simply wanted to try out the restaurant, not have a full meal, as none of us were particularly hungry. We requested smaller portions to sample different dishes, but the manager insisted that small portions were insufficient for our group of four and pressured us to order the large ones. In the end, some of the dishes were indeed too much, and we couldn’t finish them.

To make matters worse, the food quality was mediocre at best—certainly not worth the HK$700+ per person we were charged. The restaurant itself also felt old and poorly maintained, adding to the unpleasant experience.

It is truly disappointing that such a restaurant and manager still exist in Hong Kong. Experiences like this damage the city’s reputation, especially in the eyes of tourists. Even as locals, we will...

I really enjoyed my experience here and think people is a bit harsh on their reviews

Food quality is like 3 star Michelin, services also super good, attentive and friendly

I think for a restaurant like this we need to preserve, once it’s gone, hard to find same quality

I ordered crab meat noodles, pork belly (东坡肉) and veggie, amazing! The two of us are super full and satisfied.

You don’t get this kinda experience and quality...
