[ 江仔记粉面专家 | 铜锣湾 ]After passing by this fishball specialist store for years, I have finally become a customer. I had quite high hopes given their fame and the fact that they were very busy on a regular Wednesday at 6 pm and most guests were solo diners that seemed like regulars. Price-wise , it is not the cheapest option and you can tell they increased the price after their fame which might have affected the quality they are delivering. —— —— 双并墨鱼丸鱼旦紫菜河 $48 I placed my order and within 5 minutes

双并墨鱼丸鱼旦紫菜河 $48
I placed my order and within 5 minutes it was served to me.
I got a combo with their cuttlefish balls and homemade fishballs, unable to try their sliced fish cake as they cannot have more than 2 toppings for combos.
The homemade fishballs conjured a high expectation from me but it is not that memorable. Yes, the fishballs are bouncy and well-flavoured but very one-dimensional and rather small too. The bounce and chew of fresh the fishball slowly diminishes after that first bite. As for the cuttlefish balls, they were much better than the fish balls as they had more texture from the bits of cuttlefish and were better seasoned, the size was also more reasonable.
My noodle of choice was hor fun and I’ve definitely had better elsewhere. It tasted fresh but very generic, there was little to no chew and a majority of my noodles were stuck together. I added seaweed too and it gave a textural contrast to the soft noodles but again, nothing special about them. They use a pork bone soup which is tasty but again, nothing memorable and I would have preferred if they used a fish-bone-based broth to tie the whole dish together.
I would much rather go to 文辉墨鱼丸大王 in Jardine’s Bazaar for a memorable bowl of seaweed and hor fun with their delicious cuttlefish balls.

💬 Overall, not the best impression of 江仔记 as the environment is also not the most ideal. I had to share a table with another person and thank god they put a divider between us because midway through his meal, he coughed up a large chunk of digested soup and noodles right onto the divider and I immediately lost my appetite, thank god I already finished my meal though. I do want to say this experience did not affect my review as I pretty much already decided the fate of this restaurant halfway through the meal. But then again, it could have just been bad luck.
