Hong Kong VIP Kitchen

This is my most memorable Chinese food I tried in my 5 trips to US! It’s even better than many of the Chinese restaurants back in Singapore (where Chinese are the majority). The portion is as usual huge, similar to other eateries in US. I initially only ordered the 双拼饭, with roast duck and roast pork as the 双拼, as I was not sure how good will it be. Turns out the roast duck was really very good! The roast pork was not bad as well. With my appetite whetted, I later added a wanton soup. The wanton was quite huge and the fillings were very generous. The soup was also very tasty. Highly recommend this place.

Sam Woo has been our go to restaurant for HK food. There are several of them in the San Gabriel Valley. This location used to house one of them. This Sam Woo became the victim of the pandemic and closed its doored a few months ago. When I saw fellow Yelpers talking about a newly opened HK cafe restaurant at this location, I decided to give it try. I was not disappointed with the food and service. Unlike the previous occupant, the newly remodeled restaurant is bright and clean. The staff are definitely friendlier and helpful. The foods were delicious and better than Sam Woo. We had two dishes for lunch. Since the first thing you see when come in to this restaurant is the BBQ section, we had to order two BBQ meats. The meats were tender and flavorful. I would say the taste is above average. But the Chinese broccoli with dried fish was fantastic and full of wok hei. The authentic HK cooking style showed up on this dish, definitely recommend getting this one for HK food lover. With the new owner, the prices had gone up too. For the two meat BBQ dish, the price had gone up to $15 compared to Sam Woo at $12. But I think it's still worth coming here to indulge in HK food in order to satisfy your craving.

Good Hong Kong barbecue/ Chinese food. Their "Roast Duck with Black Truffle" is extraordinary and must try. Everything else is decent/ average. Good portion for the price, as is everything in this area. Expect to pay about $25-30 per person. I only recommend coming here for the "Roast Duck with Black Truffle" to-go.

Roast pork is dry and noodles are blend. Roast duck on the other hand is pretty good.

Hong Kong VIP Kitchen is a Chinese restaurant in San Gabriel, California. It is a mid size restaurant with comfortable seatings. The dinning room is clean. Jack, Paul and Cindy provided very good service. Their menu is mainly Cantonese style. I came to try their Roasted Duck with Black Truffle. A few pieces of black truffle was scattered on top. The skin was crispy, the meat was moist and good flavor. There was a familiar black truffle aroma. This is the best roasted duck in Los Angeles. I will be back even just for this duck.

We've never done take out here, but literally everything on the dine-in menu is fabulous and cooked perfectly--especially the pipa duck, when they have it. Roast duck is also great. Soy sauce chicken can't be beat anywhere in LA. Apparently, they'll make anything you want if you call ahead. Lots of big parties on weekend evenings. Highly recommended.

This used to be Sam Woo and usually my quick go to place for Chinese BBQ pork. I love many of their dishes here and the seafood congee is surprisingly good! Price is on the higher end but it is still reasonable considering the size of the dishes.

Great food. Good prices. I will highly recommend the roasted duck.

HK VIP kitchen offers a solid Hong Kong-style dining experience with classic Cantonese flavors. We tried the roast chicken, and it was well-prepared--crispy skin, juicy meat, and nicely seasoned. The dipping sauce added a flavorful touch that complemented the dish perfectly. The restaurant has an authentic Hong Kong cha chaan teng vibe, with a casual and lively atmosphere. Service was efficient, particularly warm.

It was uncooked,I called the restaurant , they asked me to put into the oven to cook by myself even no sorry. What??? The person who cut the duck for me is blinded ? 40 bucks for uncooked one? They ruined their reputation by giving something like this to the consumer as they knew it . Please stop supporting this garbage

Pretty reasonable priced bbq pork at $15.99 per pound. We only ordered to go so i haven't dined in. However, looks like those old mom and pop shops that focus on the food and not the service. We also got the roasted duck and they give you lots of sauce so it wasnt dry. I would definitely come back. You have to walk in and there is construction so i can see people missing it. Lots of parking since its in the same plaza as 99 Ranch.

The staff here are always friendly and incredibly attentive, making every visit a delight. I typically come for the Kung Pao Chicken and their delicious BBQ dishes. Their BBQ offerings are truly standout and easily place them in my top three spots for BBQ in the city. The eggplant is also quite good, holding its own against dishes I've had at other restaurants. While the soy sauce chicken could use a bit more flavor, it's a minor blemish in an otherwise stellar menu. Each visit is a consistently great experience, and I genuinely enjoy chatting with the workers who are cutting and preparing the meats. They always hook me up with the juiciest pieces.

I ordered from HK VIP Kitchen on Sunday, 3/17/2024 at around noon for my family. I ended up purchasing the following: 1 Whole Roasted Duck - $35.99 (price as of 3/2024 via Ubereats) - The duck was not overly roasted or charred and had some decent-sized pieces. The duck itself was juicy and not dry at all. The order came with some extra marinated soy sauce, and I was particularly happy since I had asked for extra plum sauce in the notes section, and they included at least 4+ (usually, other places are stingy about it). My parents enjoyed the order, and it was more than enough for five of us! All in all, I was impressed and willl be ordering from here again!

We got here around noon on a Saturday and got seated right away. We got the barbecue roasted duck and chicken with rice dish, which also comes with some cabbages. If you get the combo rice dish, you can pick two or three different meats (duck, chicken, pork, char siu). Everything's delicious and I love that they drizzle a little bit of the barbecue sauce onto the rice so it's more flavorful and fragrant! There is also a take out section at the front for barbecue meats!

5/5...Lunch specials are great price, generous dinner portion, and the Peking sauce pork chops put a smile on my moms face. Big heaping bowl of rice. The beef crispy chow mein isn't on the lunch special menu but highly recommend. Also the takeout is great...soy sauce chicken and the char sui, cut to order and purchased by weight. 4/5 service quick, efficient, no check in and no refills on our tea, but I'm sure if we wanted to flag a server, it would be no problem. We did ask for a fork...got it a few seconds later. 4/5 ambience, casual opening seating. Clean. It's utilitarian...one notch above fast food seating, but we were comfortable in a booth...and the AC worked on a warm day.

The food is amazingly tasty super authentic Cantonese food like home. Service was good . 100% recommend it!

The roasted pork skin was good!!! Everything was bad... nothing could even described as a ok meal!! Not recommend at all. At least this shop isn't recommended any roasted meats included any kind... The only foods were good that might be coming from the kitchen those stir fried foods dishes!!

On 9/02/24, ordered from HK VIP Kitchen for the first time on DoorDash. We ordered 1/2 Roasted Duck, Yangzhou Fried Rice, Ginger & Scallion Lobster with Pasta, Special Beef Tenderloin, and 2× Ice Lemon Tea. We did not eat anything else later that day. We got food poisoning, including our toddler, and vomited several times later that night. Now, I see their low rating on Yelp, and that they got a "B" health score. Will not be eating here again.

If you love the truffles, you will love to try their truffle duck. It is not a traditional taste but full of truffle flavor that I love. Other dishes are very good. I will definitely recommend this place. The restaurant is clean and very good service.

We chose this restaurant to celebrate two friends' birthday based on a recommendation, and it turned out to be a fantastic decision. The food was absolutely delicious, especially the seafood, which was incrediblly fresh and sweet. We pre-ordered live shrimp and jumbo clam sashimi, and they were nothing short of spectacular. One dish that stood out was the fried taro with squid. It was delightful combination and paired perfectly with a good wine if you are planning a visit, I highly recommend this dish. For those looking to elevate their dining experience, booking a private room is a great option. Not only do you get a more intimate setting, but you can also enjoy a karaoke system, allowing you to sing along to your favorite tunes while savoring the fantastic food. The service was impeccable throughout our visit. The staff were attentive and ensured that we had everything we needed. We left thoroughly satisfied and would like to extend our thanks for a memorable evening.

Delicious food and great service, the truffle Peking duck amazing the skin crispy meat soft must try

Very good tasting food. Not too busy when we went. Parking lot is very busy tho Lobster was excellent Duck was very good

It was full for Saturday night, only had to wait 5 mins, service was fast and friendly. Bbq pork and roast pork with rice: delicious Salt and pepper pork: on the heavy/soggy side, I didn't really like it Snow pea veggie: my favorite! Really light and seasoned and cooked well Walnut shrimp: too heavy on the mayo and flour

They have the best roast duck in the area! Fresh, juicy and tender! Definitely a dish you have to try at HK!

One of my favorite places to get Chinese bbq and crispy noodles. We used to come here alot when we lived in the area but we moved a few years ago. Came back over the weekend and was pleasantly surprised to see it was open despite the construction going on in the plaza. We got our usuals: 3 piece bbq appetizer and double pan-fried crispy noodles. I'm so glad to say it still tastes the same from the last time I went a few years ago. Service is quick and food comes out within 5-10 minutes of ordering. Overall quick service and good food!

A fantastic place for Cantonese style BBQ. Check out the three meat plate and the truffle duck. The bbq noodle soup is also incredible, the beef brisket is my favorite meat for the soup. All the food is packed full of flavor. The best time to go is early on to get the best cuts of the roast pig. We featured this restaurant in a video on YouTube! https://youtu.be/XsRzbsWMzOo?si=xyXxNuK0KAVIm50Y

Meh, below average canto restaurant. What stands out for them is their roasted duck and pork though. You'll see the golden brown birds twirling in the glass case. I've gotten these for take out before. It's pretty good. They don't have French style filet mignon cubes. Rice is $1.50, but if you want more, they'll bring it out in the red rice tub. I found hair in my food :(((((

Menu from the restaurant 6/22/24. They have a take out for bbq food, roasted duck, pork, etc.

TRY THE TRUFFLE DUCK !!! It's definitely the first time I've seen this dish and wow was it delicious. Would I come back here again? Yea sure, but it isn't my go-to. Here's What I Got: Whole Truffle Duck: - 9/10 - Truffle not overpowering, gave it a good flavor - Juicy & not over cooked Ong Choy w/Garlic: - 10/10 - This was honestly my favorite dish - Perfectly cooked - Seasoned well with garlic:salt ratio Crispy Pork Belly: - 7/10 - Tasted as if served at room temperature rather than hot - Extremely crunchy - Not over salted - Perfectly seasoned - Perfectly cooked Seafood Soup: - 7/10 - Prefer fish maw soup or sweet and sour soup - Came with peas, shrimp, squid, tofu, fish Crunchy Noodle with Beef: - 9/10 - Definitely eat when it first comes out or you'll end up with soggy noods - Good flavor - Veggies a little over cooked Pigeon: - 5/10 - Has a "liver" type flavor - Texture was kind of weird - Overall flavor is similar to chicken

I have been to HK VIP Kitchen at least 10 times, and every item we've gotten here has been really delicious! Garlic Snow Pea Tips 5/5 - Always the best veggie to order here. Very delicious and always sauteed to garlicky perfection. Sometimes it can be a little salty, but it pairs well with rice. Roast Duck 5/5 - YUM best item on the menu. Must order. Crispy Pork Belly 4.5/5 - Super crispy skin and the pork belly is always fatty and tender. Salt & Pepper Shrimp 5/5 - Deep fried to absolute perfection, and the shrimps are super huge. Salt & Pepper Pork Chop 5/5 - Yum yum yum - crispy on the outside and super tender/soft on the inside. This is the most tender pork chop I've ever had. Beijing Duck 4/5 - I definitely think the roast duck is better, but the Beijing duck is also not bad. Comes with the classic steamed buns, hoisin sauce, green onions, and cucumbers Hot & Sour soup 2/5 - I typically don't like hot & sour soup so I wasn't surprised that I didn't like this one. Eggplant w/ Garlic Sauce 4/5 - Pretty good! Not the best eggplant I've ever had, but not bad either!

So rude, Inconsiderate had horrible service. When we ordered from the other takeout and ate it inside the restaurant, they told us that we couldn't eat it and told us it was "outside food," even though the food was also from the restaurant. They were rude to us the whole time afterwards. Will not be coming back.

This is my go to Chinese takeout spot and sometimes dine in. Love their food! Only thing is that sometimes when we order their double delicacy meal on rice, they will skimp out on the meats like roast duck and bbq pork. They'll give you the shitty leftover pieces that nobody wants. They would never do that if you ordered that plate to dine in. Aside from that, it'll probably always be one of my top faves! Also, there's plenty of parking spaces available in the plaza AND they have Tesla superchargers there!!

Roasted Pork Belly was delicious, it's crunchy with a sizzle and crackling of deliciousness. This place comes with complimentary hot tea; only took less than 10 minutes to recieve our food. We came here for the lunar new years, and enjoyed the busy white noise of the chefs preparing food for the next customer. Overall, I'd rate it a solid 9/10, for the time it took to eat and leave the restaurant.

Marvelous place to enjoy traditional Chinese dishes (Hong Kong style) in San Gabriel. Never gets tire of it. Their roasted ducks are the top, tasty, juicy, and flavorful. Also, their shrimp dumpling soup and clams are worth trying. Definitely will go back while in the area.

The food are delicious! The Roast Pork is crispy. Even To go orders the quality is still good don't know how is their service for in person. But I know the atmosphere will be good for big or small group. But the store is not too big. So if in person you want to go there earlier.

My wife and I were here with another couple, on our way back from visiting the Mission Inn in Riverside, Festival of Lights. The other couple had been here before and recommended for us to join them here. We had Mixed Seafood Tofu Clay Pot Salted Pepper Pork Chop - was a bit too spicy for my taste, but the others said it was so mild Mushroom w/ Ye Noodles Black soy bean sauce w/ Fish Teriyaki Pasta and Steam Rice - expensive at $2.50 a bowl! Except where noted, the food was good. Service was adequate, not very good

So this place replaced the Sam Woo that used to be here. It has the same functionality of Chinese To-Go BBQ when you enter on the right side and a sit down part on the left. From trying the BBQ I would have to say it's relatively the same, just more expensive now. Quality is good, but I had to go back and get my Cha Shu Sauce because I asked for it on the side. From the sit down part, I would have to say hard pass. The menu isn't long to begin with, there's a variety of items but it's missing a few traditional dishes. For example the beef chow mein crispy is a staple and it was something I had to custom order. Very weird that it's not on the menu. My go to for a tofu dish is tofu with brown sauce, and they didn't have that normally. I had to special request fried tofu in my seafood tofu pot. These two are very typical HK style dishes. The food itself is expensive and small portions. What you read from what other people say is true. These two dishes after tax and tip ended up being 40 bucks. I literally could eat a dish and a half and still be slightly hungry. Portion size needs work. For like 20 bucks a dish, rice isn't free. Who eats tofu by itself without rice? Let alone... what kind of Chinese restaurant doesn't give you rice with an entree? Service here was non-existent. No water refill, no check up, even getting the check as a bit of a challenge. The restroom here is really run down as well. It doesn't match with the rest of the restaurant because it's all new and refreshed. Looked like they spent all of the money on the dining area and skipped the bathroom. Overall, just a pricey small portion Cantonese style restaurant that's trying to be high end but doesn't give you the high end treatment. Just keep on walking and don't waste your time. The section is fine, just prepared to do some extra work and check your items before leaving.

This is one of the original Sam Woo BBQ restaurants and delis in the San Gabriel Valley. The name has changed a few times in the past decades, but the remnant still remains within the community. The most recent change of the guard in Cantonese-style BBQ seems to be less paletteable. The menu has changed very little at the deli counter, and the dining room has had some good upgrades. The most recent management has raised the prices even more significantly. Entrees in the dining room and takeaway are not any bigger and charging rice by the bowl is a bit insulting, but I guess it is common practice now. Ordering BBQ in the dining room does seem significantly better than ordering it from the deli counter to take home. The biggest and most concerning change is the quality of the BBQ. There are significant inconsistencies in quality. Especially with the BBQ Pork and Roast Pork. They are obviously using much cheaper cuts of Pork Shoulder exhibited by the lack of tenderness and large chunks of fat unrendered. The BBQ Pork was also overly sweet and had no depth of flavor. The standard Roast Pork can also be overly seasoned and tough. The lack of crispy skin is also of great concern and lack of attention to detail. The Crispy Pork Belly is a bit better, but the lack of tenderness is a sign of cheaper cuts. The ever-so-popular Roast Duck isn't the best example here. The few recent visits delivered a duck that had mealy breast meat and there is a lack of aromatics such as the star anise that makes this duck so special. The Soy and Steamed Chicken was also overcooked from the deli counter. I suppose they are using standard fryer chickens as opposed to the more expensive brown feathered hens. Parking is readily available in The San Gabriel Square, as long as you are not fighting the weekend Dim Sum crowds. There are other Cantonese Style BBQ delis in the vicinity and certainly, this is no longer VIP.

Great food with easy access to grocery shopping at 99 Ranch market and Daiso! Consistent food quality and great service! Clean facility and friendly staff! Love their change sieu pork!

Pretty good food, although nothing compares to Sam woo bbq back in the day. We ordered a couple of dishes as a family of 4. The entire bill came out to around $90 with tip included, and we were able to get 2 meals out of the dishes that we ordered. It wasn't as busy as it normally is. That might have been due to the fact that we came a lot earlier then normally. We got there around 11:30am on a Sunday. This place

Recently opened restaurant but I did overhear the staff saying it was pretty much only an ownership change. They still kept the same staff from the previous Sam Woo restaurant that used to be here, so this might give you a better sense of expectation if you've tried the Sam Woo here before. Service: I was getting food to-go for lunch but they were still very nice and welcoming. Answered all of our questions politely. Location: near Wushiland Boba within the giant San Gabriel Square. If you see the Cricket Wireless and Boba Ave 8090 shop, you're getting warmer and keeping walking inside on the lower level. Parking is alright if you don't mind a further walk on the weekends. Food: Soup noodles with roast duck and brisket: soup is served on the side from the noodles to avoid sogginess for to-go orders. I really liked the flavor and tenderness of the brisket. Unfortunately they didn't give very much duck and most of it were the boney parts like the neck area of the duck. Fish filet with seasonal vegetables: this was pretty tasty. Fish was well seasoned and vegetables were steamed to a good texture that's not too tough to chew or too soft. Just right. Signature rice noodles: no flavor/wok breath. Extremely bland and was disappointing for a signature dish. I would've expected more of this. The biggest reason for the 3 is that the price point is pretty expensive for what you get. Plus flavor was average. All of this cost me around $47, but you could go to other HK/Cantonese style restaurants and get similar dishes for less. Maybe ok for a convenient bite but certainly not worth going out of your way to try this place in my opinion.

I came to get some Chinese barbecue deli items: bbq pork and roast duck. The pork has a different flavor profile than other places. Not bad, but I couldn't tell what the flavor was. It was a bit on the tough side and that's really dependent on the piece they give you. I'll have to go again to be able to see if it's different the second time around. Roast duck had a good flavor but the one I got was super fatty. Again, it's dependent on the particular one. So far, I prefer Sam Woo on Valley. I did see the specialty of the place, truffle duck. I'll give that a go the next time.

I've dined-in a few times. The food is decent and what you'd expect from a Cantonese restaurant; there is nothing special taste or selection wise. The prices on their "regular" menu are a bit steeper than most other places in the area, though, their Monday to Friday "special lunch" menu has much better pricing. The service, on the other hand, is awful. I've never left this restaurant without a complaint about their service. The waitresses are oblivious to "restaurant servicing etiquette". The following are examples of such abysmal service: (1) In one instance, before I called for the bill, one of the waitresses began clearing the table. And no, this wasn't like "let me clear this out of the way for you" (as often seen at Cantonese banquets). This was like "I'm getting the table ready for the next customer". The waitress took everything but our teapot and teacups away. Yes, my party and I were finished eating. But it's indecent to begin cleaning up, especially to that extent, when the customer is still seated. There wasn't a line for dine-in either, so it wasn't like I was taking up space. But, regardless if there was a line or not, it was just outright indecent. (2) In another instance, right after ordering, a waitress came up to our table and took the Sriracha bottle away from the condiments tray in order to "clean it" (her words, not mine). And throughout the meal, she kept taking condiments away, one by one, including the red vinegar I was using! This kept happening until no condiments were left; hell, she even took the tray. This, again, is just outright indecent. I'm sure if I said asked for the waitress to not take the condiments, then they would've never left the table. And I'm sure that if I asked for a particular condiment, after the fact, then I'm sure I would've received it. But it's the principle that matters: don't take away condiments when a customer is dining. If you're going to--for whatever purpose(s)--do it before a customer is seated or after a customer leaves. It was just annoying having someone constantly interrupting the meal. It was also unpleasant having someone constantly reach over your food, especially when their shirt was 3-4 inches away from touching it. Again, their food is not bad. I'd rate it a solid 3/5. Their service, however, is horrible. It ruins the experience and leaves a bad taste in my mouth (no pun intended). I've given this place a good amount of chances, but I've just about had it with their service and will not come back again!

Regarding their deli: The worst char siu I have ever had. Way too much fat that I will not be able to use this char siu in the noodles I will be making. I should have bought it at the markets deli!!

We had to charge our Tesla & found this place for a quick bite. Hubby's duck & crispy pork belly was served cold. What restaurant serves food cold? My wonton & noodle soup were mediocre. I wasn't a fan at all!

Duck is very very GOOD ! It is like Sam woo but better. Baked pork chops in Peking sauce is awesome . I go there a lot

Food was excellent! Manager Ken really took really good care of us in helping our party of 13 seated and food ordered. The Black Truffle Duck was recommended by him and very good. If you usually like Peking duck, you should definitely try it out. Will definitely come back here!

They overcharge and don't give you a receipt. Only when I got home and checked, I noticed on some of the box labels they charged me for higher priced items when the items contained were totally different. I truly don't think it was an honest mistake either. In total they ripped me off about $10, which may or not be a lot, but it's the lack of moral principle that peeves me. Aside from being ripped off, the service sucks, cashier lady was very rushy, char siu was too freakin sweet had no depth of flavor and the roast pork dry as a desert. Definitely will stick to our usual Sam Woo.

Very delicious meal this past week with generous portions of Roast Duck and Steamed Chicken and the Bok Choy vegetable was fresh and crispy! Hot tea was good but too bad the complimentary daily soup had been eliminated here and most places.

I had the soy sauce chicken rice dish. This is a fairly standard dish at this kind of restaurant. Flavor of the chicken was fine, but it seemed a little dry.

早安，今天風和日麗，這麼美麗的星期天， 最適合出去趴趴走了（ 說的好像我都待在家一樣）今天要分享的是在 San Gabriel 的燒臘店， 我跟著朋友去蹭飯，到了才知原來朋友的朋友就是老闆， 所以 有些是店裡的菜，有些是他們自己帶來的海鮮， 老闆請客，沒有帳單， 不過, 東西很好吃，是真的， 我那麼台，到港式餐廳常常不知該怎麼點才好吃， 這次傻傻的跟著吃, 反而都很喜歡， 分享給大家， 希望大家都有個愉快的星期天！

The menu is limited considering being in SGV the mecca of good Chinese food. Judging from its appearance you think differently. BBQ meats are good. Don't order their Sweet and Sour Spareribs lacking everything. Had to return it and replace it with Seafood Cantonese Style chow mein With the name HK Vip Kitchen. You would think they will have Lai Wah congee. When I asked the server they never heard of it Two visits both times disappointed. No bang here for my buck. Lesson learned this time around.

Ordered takeout. 1) 4 pieces of tofu and 1/2 lb of pig ear, 17 bucks and change. 2) 3 pieces of tofu and 1/2 lb of pig ear, 17 bucks and change. 3) 5 pieces of tofu, 17 bucks and change.

These are our favorites. Delicious and delightful burst of flavors for our taste buds from my childhood. And always good.

everything taste good and staff are friendly. This is a busy place but we were seated right away, it's a weekday lunch time

HK VIP Kitchen has your classic HK-style food with the option of a leveled-up version of some dishes. One of my favorite and most innovative dish is the black truffle roasted duck which is a classic roasted duck with an amazing black truffle sauce. The duck was juicy, umami, and flavorful with an amazing black truffle sauce that goes soo good with some rice to absorb all the flavor from the duck and black truffle. Even classical HK dishes like the Beef Chow Fun and the honey walnut shrimp are just done nicely. The beef chow fun has that nice Wok Hei and compared to some other restaurants isn't too greasy.

Sam Woo has been our go to restaurant for HK food. There are several of them in the San Gabriel Valley. This location used to house one of them. This Sam Woo became the victim of the pandemic and closed its door a few months ago. When I saw fellow Yelpers talking about a newly opened HK cafe restaurant at this location, I decided to give it try. I was not disappointed with the food and service. Unlike the previous occupant, the newly remodeled restaurant is bright and clean. The staff are definitely friendlier and helpful. The foods were delicious and better than Sam Woo. We had two dishes for lunch. Since the first thing you see when come in to this restaurant is the BBQ section, we had to order two BBQ meats. The meats were tender and flavorful. I would say the taste is above average. But the Chinese broccoli with dried fish was fantastic and full of wok hei. The authentic HK cooking style showed up on this dish, definitely recommend getting this one for HK food lover. With the new owner, the prices had gone up too. For the two meat BBQ dish, the price had gone up to $15 compared to Sam Woo at $12. But I think it's still worth coming here to indulge in HK food in order to satisfy your craving.
