Restaurante Hong Kong 70 in Chinatown — Restaurant in Madrid

I think it is the typical overpraised restaurants locals go in Spain without knowing that is really HK food or even Cantonese food. I went there with my son and I think it is really average food. I shared the menu by message with my HK partner and he reviewed the entire menu. He told me nothing was really from HK and the food is very average for him while looking at the photos. Especially the duck.

We took the chiar su bao and the HK barbecue 3 dishes style. While it doesn't taste too bad, it isn't also very good. Especially for the price charged. The rice is a basmati rice (in HK it is either Thai rice or sushi rice). The soup was lacking of taste and mostly bones (in a HK restaurant these parts aren't served, there are used only for broth and food like this). The meat was okay but not fantastic. The char siu bao didn't felt balanced and the taste didn't reminded me of HK.

I had the luck to eat with my step family in a traditional family restaurant which serves typical food from HK. The dim sums, the soup, the tofu, the sauté vegetables, the roasted piglet, the chicken, the rice, the fish, the traditional HK jelly, the tea. This is what Hk food is about. Not what I got today at least. It isn't even Cantonese food specialties. It is dishes taken from everywhere in China. If you want to eat well in Usera, take small restaurants. It is usually run by families specialized in a special type of Chinese cooking. A mother is running a small café in the same street and she cooks Xian cooking. It is absolutely...

Me and my friend went here a couple of days ago and we loved it! The food and service were both absolutely fantastic. We had a very attentive waitress who spoke both Spanish and English. The decor was super cool, with neon lights and 70s movies posters.

The menu offers a wide range of rice and noodle plates - mainly with char siu pork or duck. There is also a wide selection of dim sum. We tried the char siu pork buns which were absolutely delicious!!

The egg fried rice with char siu and prawns was probably the highlight. The duck menu was also lovely - with really well flavoured duck and a healthy bowl of rice. Will definitely be coming back when I'm in...

HONG KONG 70 IN CHINATOWN 📍 DÓNDE: Calle de Nicolás Sánchez, 11 🍽 CRÍTICA: Restaurante de cocina cantonesa con ambientación en el Hong Kong de los años 70. Se encuentra en pleno barrio de Usera. Su personal es muy amable y sirven los platos muy rápido. Todas las elaboraciones están bien ejecutadas y las raciones son muy generosas.

Para dos personas pedimos: Rollitos de primavera rellenos de cerdo crujiente (3,80€): El tamaño es más pequeño que el típico rollito al que estamos acostumbrados, pero está muy rico y su relleno también es más “premium”. Tiras de pollo caramelizadas con zumo de lima (8,50€): Nuestro plato favorito del día. Mucha cantidad, textura melosa y crujientita a la vez y un sabor apto para todos los públicos. Empanadillas de pato con foie flambeado (6,50€): Sabor intenso y relleno generoso. Una propuesta original para este tipo de entrante tan rico. Nido de tallarines crujientes con ternera y salsa de pimienta negra (8,30€): Un plato muy contundente, con ese “crunchy” de los tallarines que le da un aire más sofisticado al plato. Bien de salsa espesita, te recomendamos que lo mezcles todo bien antes de servir. Dos tipos de asado HK style - pato y costilla de cerdo ibérico a la miel (12,50€): Es la estrella de su carta. La carne está muy jugosa y bien cocinada, aunque el pato tiene bastantes huesecitos es el plato estrella de su carta. Pastel de castaña de agua (4,80€, 3 unidades): Ninguno de los postres nos llamaban la atención, así que pedimos recomendación y nos indicaron que este lo preparan en el propio restaurante de forma casera. Nos nos convenció el sabor a castaña y la textura gelatinosa. ⚠️ A DESTACAR: Tienen otro restaurante en calle Toledo. 💳 PRECIO MEDIO: 20€ por persona 🏆 PUNTUACIÓN: 8 📸 iPhone 11 Pro Max
