Delicious traditional old Hong Kong yum cha shop. It's no wonder this place gets recommended so widely and makes it onto so many top lists.

We only had a short wait (it's HK, you need to wait for everything) which was great for a Saturday morning. Gave us enough time to look at the menu and make our selections.

The food came out fast and was hot and fresh. The har gao were very good, chicken feet delicious and the piggy shaped custard buns are soft and oozing with flowy custard. They had the perfect consistency.

All our dishes were great, serving size is on the small side, however seems to be quite normal for Hong Kong. We just came from Guangzhou where yum cha servings are much larger so it takes some adjusting to.

Prices are very reasonable for the quality of food you get. Service was friendly and quick. You need to shuffle around as they move tables, but it's all part of the experience of eating here.

If you want more modern decor, they have a new larger restaurant just 2 doors down the road, but the classic is worth it for the experience.

Only downside is the tea is very watered down and they will just top up for you, no individual teapots here. Overall, would happily eat here again.

Being a vegetarian, I really have to look out for places to eat. I frequently eat out in Mongkok but for the first time, I visited this place. At the door, the name struck me and the mention of an award (Newsweek Foodie Awwards) that this place received in 2012. I was not sure, if there is anything for me to eat by reading the menu in cantonese, pictures didn't help that much. But I got a table and started wondering what to order.

Being a vegetarian, I really have to look out for places to eat. I frequently eat out in Mongkok but for the first time, I visited this place. At the door, the name struck me and the mention of an award (Newsweek Foodie Awwards) that this place received in 2012. I was not sure, if there is anything for me to eat by reading the menu in cantonese, pictures didn't help that much. But I got a table and started wondering what to order. A lady promptly spotted my fiddling around and handed over a english/japanese menu. First reason for my delight !! I was able to spot the items tagged as "V" and knew I wont go hungry out of this place. But soon, I recognised the conntents of each DIM SUM (steamed and fried) and orders 5 dishes. These included, Stuffed Bean Curd Wrap in Mushroom Soup, Cantonese style steamed Sponge Cake, Piggy Custard Buns, Vegetarian Rice Flour rolls and Fried Dumplings with Vegetable in Wasabi. Each of these were served in 3 pieces.

All were extremly fresh, tasty and that zing of a dumpling. My favs being the one with wasabi and the rice rolls stuffed with veggies. I am confident that for the price to pay and the taste you get, its worth a visit. Meat lovers will love it and so my veggie friends.

They also have Hot / Cold Soy Milk and green vegetables to your choice

Look out for the Piggy Custrad Bun, probably the best looking pig I have come across.
