Hua Seng Hong Restaurant in Chinatown, Bangkok, is a culinary landmark that offers a delightful taste of authentic Chinese cuisine. I've been visiting it several times in the past 6 years and I find that the quality went a bit down but it's still worth trying. Known for its bustling atmosphere, the restaurant is often filled with locals and tourists alike, a testament to its popularity.
The menu is extensive, featuring a variety of dishes, but the standout items include their roast duck and dim sum, both prepared with exceptional skill and flavor. The crispy skin and tender meat of the duck are particularly noteworthy, making it a must-try. The dim sum is fresh and well-executed, with a variety of fillings that cater to different tastes.
Service can be brisk due to the restaurant's popularity, but the staff is generally friendly and efficient. The prices are reasonable, especially given the quality of the food. The vibrant decor adds to the overall dining experience, immersing you in the lively essence of Chinatown.
Overall, Hua Seng Hong is a fantastic choice for anyone looking to indulge in delicious Chinese dishes while enjoying the energetic ambiance of...
Read moreDishonest, tastless, expensive tourist trap. We were cheated in this restaursnt tonight, which is a shame. My son ordered a big plate of a beef dish (nr.18) When our bill arrived we saw that it was wrong. We showed them the proof in the menu but they insisted that we had to pay the high price of nr.25. because it was beef.The menue says the price of beef in nr.18 but the continued to point on the price of nr. 25 instead. I told them that I will complain in a review but they only cared about the payment and insistent on charging us a manipulated bill. We should have called the tourist police but did not want to make an issue in a full restaurant. Besides this ennoying insident, the food was not even worth the high prices in a crowded poorly designed noisy restaurant which lacks atmosphere. My duck was soft and lacked aroma, the "barbequed pork" tastless, the 5 spices sauce had a strange aftertaste.Even the eggroll consisted mostly of noodles snd soggy vegetables and the sauce was not good. My husbands and my sons dishes were ordinary only, but certainly a poor choice of chinatowns kitchen. We will never come back to...
Read more3 friends came here about 5 years ago. They were very impressed with the food. Very authentic Chinese dimsum. The 3 friends recommended n brought us here today. Total 7 paxs was utterly disappointed with all the food. The goose feet comes in a claypot with soup. This is not HongKong style n was also tasteless. The fish maw n sharks fin also comes in claypots n the soup was also tasteless. The water crest was like a plate dead leaf partly dried. The roast duck is also not HongKong style. Only the drunken chicken the meat is not bad but totally no alcohol taste. How to be call it drunken chicken? The dumplings was also tasteless. We ordered all small plates. All the dishes are left partially eaten only.
The good reviews were probably from those that have never tasted authentic Chinese or HongKong food especially dimsum.
There was probably a change of ownership or change of Chef.
7 of us was not interested in most of the dishes after first bite. Even thou if u are standing outside this shop, don't waste time going in unless they totally revamp the dishes or Chef to an authentic...
