I had a fantastic experience here. If you have doubts about the 'authenticity' this is a genuine thing happening in Hong Kong. The staff certainly did their best to understand us and the server who was on in the beginning seemed very busy, or was waiting for a better English speaker to serve us instead (entirely understandable).
