Hoi Tin Garden Restaurant — Restaurant in Tuen Mun District

Quite a spacious Chinese seafood restaurant, can't describe as luxurious, perhaps I can only identify it as a place for all Hong Kong seafood pilgrimages (in fact a majority of them are mainlander Chinese) who are craved for sea products where this is an ideal place for them to share their taste bud on lobsters, various type of deepwater marine fish, scallops, shrimps, crabs, razor clams....etc.,The main difference to compare with other seafood restaurants in urban areas (cause the restaurant is located in Tuen Mun area) is all you have to do is to buy all your ingredients from those fresh marine products retail shops/outlets where those hawkers are enthusiastic to introduce you to their finest species base on a very hassle and bustle pattern. Well, it all depends on what you expect their services to be.

Tuen Mun is one of the few special places for seafood in Hong Hong. Hoi Tin Garden restaurant is by the entrance of the complex right next to the car park.

It seems a waste to get fresh and expensive seafood only for it to be cooked badly.

The restaurant gets very busy. It can be interpreted as having a good atmosphere but effectively quite noisy. Service is ok, but being so busy you cannot expect much.

If you like seafood and that is the priority, I would highly...

Short answer: would be a better experience if you are a regular customer

Would highly recommend food their char-siu and roast goose. The meat is very juicy and tender, and the quality has been quite consistent over the years.

Good pricing for their food and additional cooking cost for seafood (you buy from the nearby fish sellers).

Bad experiences from:

1. being “scammed” by the fish sellers (especially if you’re not a regular customer) - they would charge you extra and give you lower quality products if you’re not one of their regular customers. You can ask for a refund if you’re not satisfied, but not always successful.
2. poor atmosphere - sometimes people smoke in the restaurant, and the toilets...
