Soho has restaurants from all over the world, but not too many from China. We were happy to find this place when we had enough of the rest of the world's cuisine in Hong Kong. It's an unpretentious place and I think the owner was our waiter. He was helpful about the menu and tipped us off about his own favorites, and he was right about that! Everything was delicious, but I can tell you that some of the dishes are very hot, particularly the eggplant. The best way to enjoy the food here is to wash it all down with tea, which is refilled as long as you want to keep drinking it. This will be my go-to place in Hong Kong from now on. Reasonably priced and generous portions, good enough for sharing with some white rice on the side.

Great food, really nice looking restaurant, service with humour. Apparently about as traditionally Chinese as you can find in SoHo. Be warned: their motto seems to be that ‘chilli is a vegetable, not a spice‘. But if you leave the red devils on the serving plate, the remaining food (chicken, tofu, or whatever) is spicy without being too hot. A lovely night out, thank you.

Let's start with the owner... He is nice, funny - secret for success - and most of all he knows what is doing!!! Talking care with us, choosing what we're going to eat... we love so much , that we came back twice (we had 3 nights in HK).
The food... everything is well done,the flavors mix in your mouth creating an explosion of flavors and feelings!!!!
The decor... well is not pretending to be anything, but a place to be your second home if you live in HK; It will be mine for sure!!!!

We've got to say the food was to die for it was the best we've eaten in Hong Kong. The sweet and sour duck was fantastic with little fluffy pancakes and the crispy honey pork was yum
Then the pork dim Sims to start with we're gorgeous Thank you to the host he was a lovely guy and made the meal even better
5 Stars all round a must visit place

The food here is quite amazing. As a fan of american chinese food, this is the closest i'll get to having it in HK. The lemon chicken is absolutely amazing, as is the beef with peppers. The owner seems a little frazzled when busy- i came in one evening just me and my GF, and instead of saying- wait a few mins, he told me that no tables were available (by a waving off with his hand). Other times, when they've not been so busy, he's super cool. regardless, when actually dining the there, the food is amazing. go check it out!
