Yat Lok

The signature roast geese glistening behind the window are marinated with a secret recipe and go through over 20 preparatory steps before being chargrilled to perfection. Char siu pork uses pork shoulder from Brazil for melty tenderness. Roast pork belly and soy-marinated chicken are also recommended. Expect to share a table with others. It’s been run by the Chu's since 1957 and in this location since 2011.

Signature dishes include Roast Goose, Grilled Guilin Rice Noodles, Homemade Peking Dumpling, and Vegetarian Dumplings.

STAR: Coveted by many chefs but bestowed upon only to an excellent few. Getting a star (or three) could change the fate of a restaurant.

BIB GOURMAND: Good quality, good value cooking.

Not quite a star, but most definitely not a consolation prize, the Bib Gourmand is a just-as-esteemed rating that recognizes friendly establishments that serve good food at moderate prices.

PLATE: Fresh ingredients, carefully prepared: a good meal.

In 2016 a brand new L’assiette or The Plate symbol was launched to recognize restaurants that 'simply serve good food'.

Sang Kee

Having stood here proudly for over 40 years, Sang Kee is a true symbol of Wan Chai and remains refreshingly impervious to modernisation. The owner insists on buying the seafood herself each day and the Cantonese dishes are prepared using traditional methods. You’ll find yourself thinking about their classic dishes like fried snapper, fried minced pork with cuttlefish, and braised fish with bitter melon long after you’ve sampled them.

Signature dishes include Siganus Guttatus Congee and Salt-baked Chicken.

Kam's Roast Goose

The Kam family name is synonymous with their famous roast goose restaurant. This Guangdong-style restaurant is owned by the third generation of the family and he wisely hired his father’s former chef to ensure the goose is as crisp and succulent as ever. There’s also suckling pig, goose neck and head, and goose blood pudding available. With only 30 seats, don’t be surprised to see a queue.

Signature dish is roast goose which can be paired with soup noodles, rice and other food items.

Ho Hung Kee (Causeway Bay)

No discussion about Hong Kong’s historic noodle shops would be complete without mentioning Ho Hung Kee, an authentic Hong Kong-style congee and noodle shop, which originally opened in Wan Chai in the 1940s and is famed for its springy wonton noodles and fresh, sweet soup. Some highlights from the restaurant's menu include the stir-fried beef noodles, shrimp pomelo skin and wonton noodles.

Mak Man Kee

No one is here for the no-frills interior, typical of any noodle shop in Hong Kong. This 60-year-old establishment is all about Cantonese wonton soup noodles – firm and bouncy prawns, visible through the paper-thin translucent skin, with springy duck egg noodles swimming in a flavourful broth. The serving size isn’t the most filling so you may want to order their pork knuckles braised in red taro curd on the side.

Signature dish: Shrimp Wonton Noodles which the soup is boiled for 5 hours.

She Wong Leung

In business for over 20 years, this shop is famous for its snake soup. While most people consume snake soup only in winter, the owner formulates a different herbal base for every season to make it a healthy tonic all year round. The shop also sells home-style fare according to the season, like glutinous rice and lamb stew in winter. Double-boiled soups are popular, but need pre-ordering. The adventurous should try the snake wines.
