Kwan Kee Beef Balls & Pork Knuckles — Restaurant in North District

I came here at noon of a public holiday. The restaurant can accommodate around 10 tables. When I arrived, no need to wait and I ordered pork knuckle and beef brisket at once. Before the food arrived, the waiter gave me a plate of chili sauce. It really went well with pork knuckle. I saw a lot of diners got an extra chilli sauce near the open kitchen. I heard that some people came here to buy chilli sauce only. The pork knuckle and beef brisket were really tender, and the soup was nice. In my opinion, the food is a bit overrated.

This condiment, unique to Kwan Kee, elevates literally all of its menu items to another level. The combination of the food served in Kwan Kee and its chili oil is, truly, the be all end all of "the whole is greater than the sum...

Authentic old Chinese restaurant experience. You take a seat wherever there's space. There's no seating plan. Sqeeze in wherever you can.

I recommend the meat ball and whichever type of noodles you like + one big dish of pork knuckle. Plus a cold drink.

Don't hesitate on dipping the meat balls and pork knuckles in the spicy oil!

Recommend timing to go: 11:45-12:15 (usually don't need to wait) 3:45-4:15 (pork knuckles get replenished during this time, noon pork knuckles usually run out...
