Mak Man Kee Noodle Shop(Jordan)

This place has awarded a Michelin rating for 8 consecutive years, so it felt like a must-visit. Honestly, it felt just average and wondered if we didn’t order the right dishes. The portions were huge — for 3 adults and 1 toddler, we only ordered one dry noodle and one soup noodle. The wantons were big and generous. As expected in Hong Kong, the pace is fast and the shop was cramped and crowded. However, one staff was very kind and helpful. She came over to helped cut the noodles for my toddler and told us to take our time so my child could eat properly. That gesture was very much appreciated!

Tried this but I don’t know how it got michelin guide for many years. In my opinion, the noodle was not cooked well, still got the flour flavour, I ordered the beef bridket since the chasiu pork was sold out, the beef brisket also hard to chew. The flavour is just so so for me. Wonton noodle is from hong kong but I taste the better one in Singapore hawker centre, not recommended from me

They say Michelin Star restaurant are worth the try is because rated as Good Food. Well, for Singaporean we always find it either unbelievable or skeptical. So I went in to try, and to my shocked the food was indeed Amazing! Holy Smokes, the dumplings filled with various well cooked ingredients. Especially when it talks about meat smell, there wasn't any porky smell in it, yet incredible flavor burst into my mouth. Drinking the soup, the soup is clear with pack of powerful herbs in it. Is worth a journey and I recommend this place to all. Like the 90s feel.

This place is super crowded. The noodles is springy as expected. It’s a little more alkaline than many wonton noodles tho. Personally, I prefer less alkaline. The wontons are huge and delicious. But I feel the shrimps can be a bit more crunchy. Note that the ala carte vegetables comes plain - oyster sauce is chargeable.

Tried their famous beef tendon and brisket egg noodles, along with prawn dumplings and pork trotter. The prawn dumplings were surprisingly good; fresh, juicy, and well-seasoned. The beef tendon and brisket were flavorful with a nice herby taste and tender texture. The noodles themselves were a bit underwhelming at first, but once you get to the bottom where they soak up the beef broth, it becomes really delicious. The pork trotter, however, was a miss it could’ve been more tender and was a bit too chewy. Overall, the food is enjoyable, but the prices are on the higher side.

Had early dinner 530pm on weekday Monday. Managed to get a table without wait, dumplings and tiger prawn wantons are plump and juicy. The dumplings have a variety of ingredients ranging from prawns, mushrooms, black fungus, bamboo shoots which gives different layers of flavours and textures. Generous portion of crunchy Tiger prawns in the prawn wantons. Soup was light and flavourful, love a flash of vinegar for the acidity. Prawn roe noodles are tad dry for my liking, had to add some soup.

I got the wonton dry noodles with soup on the side. Wontons are SO delicious, I think they’re worth the hype. Dip them in a 3/4 vinegar 1/4 soy sauce 1/4 chilli sauce mix (adjust for your spice level). Perfect. Personally I think the noodles can be skipped, unless you really crave this specific kind of super al dente/chewy thin noodle that is more about texture than flavour. The broth/soup is good but it’s really the wontons that are the standout for me. I liked that there was some pork lard(?) drizzled on the noodles. However, I would recommend just getting wontons in soup next time. Expect Classic Hong Kong service. Also, I believe staff only speak Cantonese here but there is an English menu. 51 HKD. Service size of ~6 large wontons under a pile of noodles. Enough for a normal appetite.

Yes it’s crowded, very local place but the wontons are very delicious and it’s recommended by the Michelin guide! We loved our meal there, it’s cheap and cheerful. You can taste the great quality ingredients used, big size prawns, generous amount of pork. It’s just a perfect local place for wontons/noodles.

The reviews on Tiktok are true!!! Wontons here are so good, I came twice during my HK trip so you know it's a 10/10. First visit I tried the regular wonton noodle soup. The second time I tried the dry version (with soup on the side) Both were delicious and you can't go wrong either way. The bowl is super small though, so the contents are on the verge of spilling out as you dip your spoon in. Space is also limited so prepare to share your table with a stranger when it's rush hour.

Mak Noodles here in Hong Kong is quite famous. They're a Michelin rated restaurant. Believe it or not, the line forms even before they open. You would need to get there earlier. They are usually busy throughout the day. And the day they're closed, the whole street seems more secluded. But me as a foreigner there, thought "hey, there's nobody there!". But really, they're closed. Lol. They are known for their Wonton Noodles. Proportions are small compared to the States. So, you may need to order two, just like me. The wontons are delicious, as the soup if flavorful, which is what they're known for. You'll be seated in a cramped corner or a tiny table. Remember, there's a lot of people eating near you as well. Go figure, you'll definitely smell something from someone. Lol. The place seems a bit cleaner compared to other places we've been to. But in HK, everything and everywhere needs to be cleaned. It's all about the tasty food, regardless!

麥文記麵家 (Mak Man Kee Noodle Shop) is a budget friendly, hole-in-the-wall wonton noodle spot that's fast, efficient, and determined to get you in and out quickly despite the long lines. We only waited about 15 minutes on a random Wednesday afternoon. Unfortunately, the interior isn't the cleanest, and I stepped on a fallen wonton upon sitting down. Yikes. My parents and I shared the tiger prawn wonton noodle soup, tiger prawn wontons in soup, and the beef brisket noodle soup. Each item was about 50 HKD. I thought the tiger prawn wontons were just OK. The filling-to-wrapper ratio were perfect, but the flavor felt like something was missing. The noodle texture, on the other hand, were phenomenal -- chewy, springy, bouncy, all of those adjectives. My favorite was the beef brisket noodle soup. The marinade from the brisket enriched the broth, giving it a deeper and richer flavor that the tiger prawn wontons couldn't provide. Paired with those perfectly textured noodles, it was truly chef's kiss. I also enjoyed tossing in a couple tiger prawn wontons to get the "best of both worlds." If I could redo the meal, I'd order the beef brisket noodles for myself and share a bowl of tiger prawn wontons so I could still have both. 麥文記 has been on the Michelin Guide for several years, which explains the massive line. I'm not one to trust the Michelin Guide (especially abroad), but this restaurant has some of the best wonton noodle texture I've had, and I'd definitely recommend the beef brisket noodle soup!

Good wonton noodles and related offerings. Rustic, small, gruff and efficient service. Definitely a local experience but not as social media friendly as the cha chaan teng next door. Be warned, some of the seats are comically small. Tried wonton soup noodles and dry noodles. The soup and wontons are solid, shrimpy and fishy in a good way. The soup that comes with the dry noodles is different vs the noodle soup, with a much more intense and delicious seafood punch. Worth trying. I also regret not trying the dry noodles with shrimp roe. Looks interesting. Worth trying, especially considering there's supposed to be some common lineage with the ubiquitous Mak's noodles too.

The food was good, but the setting and service is pretty bad. You share tables with others, which can be sort of a common think in HK casual eateries, but the seating is pretty tight and you can be face to face with a stranger going in on a bowl of pig knuckle and noodles, literally 1 foot away from your face. The service was gruff and lacked any type of charm or concern. Good luck with napkins. Overall just an uncomfortable set up. It was the closest thing to the hotel that was on the list of places to try, mostly b/c of its Michelin rating. The won ton noodle soup was good and was not expensive, but I would not go back. Luckily there are lots of other michelin restaurants in the vicinity that offer similar food in a much nicer setting.

You're going to see Mak Man Kee Noodle Shop being recommended on social media, blogs, vlogs, articles and magazines because they are consistently recognized by Michelin each year. The restaurant is a hole-in-the-wall type of restaurant that's cozy and you may have to share a table with strangers (common in Hong Kong) but you're there for the food. Customer service isn't the most friendly as they are trying to be efficient at getting you the food and out of your seat for the next diner lined up outside. The wontons are plump, noodles have that nice chewiness to it and the broth is aromatic. Their Tender Beef/Brisket is good but it could be more tender. They are a great option for those visiting so they can say they have dined there. If there isn't a line, it's a spot we dine at but if there is a line, there are many other great wonton mein options that we go to instead. Keep in mind they are cash only.

After hearing about this cheap Michelin eats, I was standing 1st in line before the establishment even opened. We were all seated in order in a small store that had about 8 tables. However, I found out that most tables were shared by many parties put together. After being seated, our table was the last the order. I don't know how but we were... We ordered some shrimp wonton noodle soups and I was so surprise to see such a small bowl. Surprisingly it was filling! The soup didn't pack a punch but had great flavors. The wontons were very flavorful and delicious. Overall, the food might have been 5 stars, but the service was definitely not... I didn't have much expectations on the service so based on the food, I give it a solid 4 stars. I would definitely recommend trying their wontons!

Multi-year Michelin rated wonton noodle soup. It's a no nonsense quick serve restaurant that gets you in and want within 10-20 minutes. They will seat you wherever there's an open space so you will sit with strangers. Super crowded so definitely would pass fire safety regulations in America, but that's how it is here. Food was reasonably priced and tastes very fresh. About $35 USD for 4 bowls wonton noodle soup, one plate of braised pig feet noodles, and Chinese broccoli with oyster sauce. Despite the craziness, our server was relatively patient and friendly to us. Basically meaning we didn't get yelled at even though we were acting like tourists.

Hole in a wall restaurant. Michelin restaurant. Expected to share a table with a stranger. They are quick in service, once you sit, they expect you to know what you want, but of course there's a menu outside to look at while you wait in line. We waited for about 20-30mins which isn't bad since the restaurant is small. Highly recommend the giant wontons!!! It's bursting with favors. The vegetables is steam vegetables which is great. It balances out the others. The beef tendon with noodles was ok, not my first choice, but the wonton is a must try!!!

This was my first meal in Hong Kong! I arrived around 6 PM on a weekday. They're a small shop and popular, but thankfully, it wasn't busy and we were immediately seated. I ordered the Wonton Noodles and it came with a decent amount of noodles and big wontons. This was a delicious comfort meal and easily filled me up. The price is cheap as well, so if you're looking for an enjoyable and cheap meal, this is definitely a great spot.

Super yummy wonton noodles, did not disappoint. The servings are small so you can order more or try different things. I opted for/prefer the wide noodles. The wontons were big and juicy. Service was standard average what you would expect in HK, no surprises there. FYI they will double up tables, e.g. put two separate couples at the same 4-seater table. I came to realize this is common in HK.

Mak Man Kee Noodle Shop is a very popular noodle shop, a bit bigger than some of the smallest holes in the wall. Vibe is proper hole in the wall, and they get busy. Portions are typical Hong Kong sized, service is quick, and the noodles are all very good. That said, having hear enough about this place, while I found it good, I didn't find it particularly outstanding. They have lots of competitors (this is Hong Kong after all!) many of whom are as good.

Probably some of the best wontons I've tried. I came here alone and ordered wontons in soup, steamed veggies, and pig feet. Portions were decently sized and I had leftovers. The wontons themselves were stuffed with pork and shrimp and so juicy and flavorful. It paired great with the vinegar they have on the table. The pig trotters were so soft and probably braised for a long time with different Asian spices like star anise and tangerine peel. It tasted like home cooking which I loved. It's cash only here so come prepared! There's also a line but it moves fast so worth the wait.

Small well know wonton soup place. Very good shrimp only wonton, add the noodles, all are excellent. Expect to wait at time. One of the must eat place in Kowloon. Next to Mike dessert place.

One of the main Mark's wonton noodles shop!! Only one on this brand "Mak Men" !! Classic wontons noodles, they are serving a bigger portion than other Mak's noodles... vegetables Choy sum serving oyster oil on the side!! Pig feets were marinated so good tasty n delicious, just a little chewy, some people like that, I would like more tenderness!! Serving with Zero coke n coke were the best choice!!! Full but good enough!!

The place lived up to the hype! The small bowls of won ton noodles are perfect, especially so you can order sides of veggies and supplemental dumplings. Won tons here veer towards the traditional, just big plump shrimp nestled into some pork, so they aren't the orbs that you might see elsewhere. The dumplings are the fatties though, and well worth getting. The Chinese menu is a beauty, and I'd buy a framed version as a souvenir if I could! Definitely get the pig's feet if you're intrigued, it's a big portion (we got four big pieces, and two toe chunks). The fermented red tofu funk really highlights the tendon bits, and there's a pleasant gooeyness that covers your fingers, your face, really you're not escaping this until you shower later. So good, will be back!

This place is a pretty famous little noodle shop.  It won a Michelin star back in 2017, and every year since, it has been on Michelin's Bib Gourmand list.  We came in to try their signature pig knuckles with noodle soup.  It goes for 47 HKD or $6.06.  It was good for the price point for sure but I was a little disappointed there wasn't just a little more meat with the big pig knuckles as it was virtually all tender skin and bone.  The noodles were fresh and fine, and the products came out pretty quickly.  It's a small space, so be prepared to share a table if necessary.  Also, and this is typical of all of the lower priced Hong Kong eateries, there are no napkins provided (paper products are apparently relatively expensive in Asia), and your fingers will get oily and sticky handling the pig knuckles.  So bring napkins or wet wipes wherever you go.  I'll go with 4 stars, and the visit made for an interesting outing.

I thought I knew wonton noodle soup after trying it in countless cities across the U.S., but in Hong Kong, it's simply on another level. And this spot is no exception. The star of the show is the noodles.....cooked to a nearly indescribable texture. They're al dente in the truest sense, yet so firm and fresh they offer a meaty, satisfying bite without even a hint of starchy crunch. To preserve their integrity that might otherwise be compromised by sitting in the hot broth, the noodles are served on top of the wontons, with most of them perched above the soup base, an intentional detail that makes a big difference. The wontons themselves are just as impressive. The wrappers have a perfect, delicate texture, while the shrimp filling is plump, fresh, and full of flavor. Even if the broth had been forgettable, the dish would've still been a win, but it isn't. The broth is light yet full of depth, with just enough fat and marrow to give it a silky, lip-coating richness that ties everything together. The menu is short and focused. Inside, every square inch of space is maximized for seating, which means you'll likely find yourself twisting and contorting like an Olympic gymnast to get in and out of your seat--but honestly, that's part of the charm. Service is brisk, and once you're done, be ready to spring up so the next hungry guests can take your place.

Amazing place deserves Michelin mention their existence. It's a very small place seat about 30 max. Here are the take 1. Noodle are moistly crunchy 2. Wontons stuffing are bouncy shrimp and pork 3. Soup base is traditional dry fish broth. Well worth the visit to experience the best wontons noodles soup

It is a very small place and the line was long but the wonton noodles were exceptional for a Michelin star restaurant!

Such a simple dish yet they make it so good! The egg noodles served here (and in Hong Kong in general) are different from the kind you can get in the US. They're more stringy and chewy. Feels more crisp than the soft mushy ones you sometimes get in the states. Mak Man Kee serves all varieties of noodle dishes with the noodle being the constant in most items. We got the wonton noodles (must get) and a fish roe oyster sauce tossed noodle. Both were very tasty and texture was perfect. I can still remember the feeling of their noodles in my mouth. The man who sat us was very nice and courteous, a nice surprise compared to most "local" places in the city. I loved it!!

Your typical super small, and busy Hong Kong noodle shop--but 100% worth it!! This wonton noodle shop is small and crowded but I honestly think it adds to the experience! The noodle bowls are small and quite pricey, but absolutely worth. The egg noodles are perfectly chewy and the soup is full of flavor, and the wontons are small but the meat filling is just wonderful. If you're in HK and you love noodles--this is the place for you!

My parents used to take me here when I was younger, and while there is some change in terms of the decor, the quality is still the same. If you're a fan of wonton noodle soup (or noodles in general), this is one of the places you have to go to during your stay here. Overall, the wonton noodle soup is still excellent here and I think of many that would be on-par with this restaurant. The noodles are cooked perfectly, with the right taste and texture. The clear broth has a nice seafood flavor to it. The wontons here shine the brightest, as they are generously-sized for HK, while having excellent quality at the same time. The shrimp isn't cooked to crap and there's enough pork to bind the wonton filling together. The wonton skin is thin and delicate, with a slippery texture to it. The advantage of MMK over Mak's, in terms of wonton noodle soup, is the wonton. Mak's has a slight advantage with the broth. The portion here is similar to Mak's in that it's 1/2 the size as an average portion you'd see in the States. MMK is chaotic and the wait here is generally longer, since it's the only location. I had to share a table with a couple middle-aged locals but it was fine. Service is a bit brusque but not close to the Australia Dairy Company level of brusque. It's not as clean here as Mak's. And as you can probably anticipate: cash only.

Came here on a holiday weekend and found a small line out the door. It moved quickly and flying solo, I was able to get a seat quickly. I found myself in a small booth with three other ladies and we were tight, but it worked. I ordered wonton noodles and Chinese broccoli. The wonton noodles come out first. I took a bite of the noodled and was underwhelmed--bit tougher than expected. After moving them around in the broth, I took another bite and it was much better. The shrimp dumplings made it all worthwhile. Amazing! Five dumplings were in the small bowl (34 HKD). The Chinese broccoli came as I was into the noodles. They were okay. The stems were thicker, so it was a bit more cumbersome to eat. Needed some veggies and they worked. Definitely a good spot to try! So many fun options on the menu. Note this is a cash only spot.

I think I am used to the sizes here in the states, but the bowl of wonton noodles was soooo tiny, I mean like small rice bowl sized tiny for comparison. The place is also pretty small as well and fast paced. We ordered a two person set which came with Chinese broccoli/oyster sauce, their classic shrimp wonton noodle soup, and another soup with I believe pork and mushroom wontons. The shrimp wonton noodle soup tasted pretty good. The wontons were seasoned well and stuffed well. The noodle texture was more on the chewy side of egg noodles. The soup was flavorful and good. I just wish it was a bigger portion. I was definitely still hungry after eating here. It probably is good I am not over stuffing myself, but I just wish I had a little bit more. Prices here were very affordable for lunch.

Pro tip: - Love Prawn Noodles? Then you should visit, otherwise skip this place. I originally came across this restaurant on the Michelin Guide as a recommendation for places to eat. So of course my expectations were sky high. Unfortunately, this place did not live up to the hype. I ordered their most popular item, Prawn Wanton noodle soup. The dish arrived smaller than anticipated and the price was exorbitantly high compared to other items in the area. The food itself was as average as it gets. A small bowl with 4 prawn wantons, soup and extra skinny egg noodles.

The wonton noodle soup was okay. I've had better but their price was cheap (HK$35)and affordable because of the small portions. All their tables are communal. And since I couldn't read the menu I asked if they had other types of wonton and there is only one type.

my current wonton noodle shop of choice in hk. the noodles themselves i'm not a massive fan of actually because they're almost too springy to the point of being rubbery, but the broth and the wontons make up for it. i see the complaints about small serving sizes which i understand, but i see them as being more of a snack and not something to fill you up with on their own.

Michelin Guide, not star, '19 & b4... [super late post & disclosure: i alwaz write shorthand...] tired AF when we landed after 9 initial days in japan & a day of travel to hk...checked into our "hotel" nearby & wandered out in the convenient, poppin' neighborhood for a quick din...thought mom brought us into a rando spot, but turned out to be famous & she knew... T H E "F E E L S" . . . usual divey hk spot...walk past a small open station to the left where they flash-boil your noodles & stuff...then onto the room of hard 4-top booths along the walls & round tables w/ wooden stools in the center... T H E N O M S . . . i didn't think the food was so special & i was trippin' hard about the tiny portions...well, i didn't know that's the hk way...i was used to U.S.'s big bowls w/ xtra broth...not these small ones like what only rice usually went into...& WTH, only 4 wontons w/ some noodles & no veg per order!?... famous for bouncy prawn wontons, duck egg noodles, & braised pig knuckles...i don't recall them feet being too memorable...noodles were springy like how most ppl like them...i was nvr one who appreciated that...but mom was jockin' & kept saying how good it was...i could see y... everything was above average...jus need to consider at least 2 orders for the avg american person...could look at it this way: cheap anywaz & u get to try more varieties... T H E S E R V I C E . . . i forget except they came back often to kinda rush us to order... like many hk spots, don't be surprised if they seat other ppl at ur tiny AF table to share...& cash only... N U T S H E L L . . . good to try this place...esp if u like al dente pasta...

Bigger wontons compared to maks noodles but I like the soup at maks much better, sui gow were huge with average taste, pigs feet and chives flower was excellent, clean place and friendly staff

I love wonton (egg) noodles, but I don't get the hype about Mak Man Kee. I actually prefer the the wonton mein back in New York more, but the shrimp wontons here were very fresh! I was quite surprised by the small portions, and although HK$35 isn't pricey by all means, I don't think a small bowl of noodles warrants HK$35! I think the average person would need to order at least two bowls to feel semi full. Since the eatery is pretty small, you can expect to share a table with strangers. Coincidentally, my boyfriend and I shared a booth with another couple who was from the states! Also, since there are usually people waiting to get a table, the staff rushes you to order and eat.

Famous won ton noodles here -- cheap and fast, but I'm not sure it's worth all the hype. For me, the best part was probably the noodle, but I feel that others have managed to copy a similar flavor, texture, and bounciness -- potentially even improving upon this recipe. There was a slightly offputting aftertaste for me on the noodles, possibly in the type of egg used to create them. The shrimp wonton were a bit larger than other places, but nothing really stood out for me in its flavor or quality of the wonton skin. The beef brisket noodle soup also contained a good portion of meat which was martnated well, but nothing particularly exciting stood out about its preparation either. Might be worth a visit to this famous noodle shop if you're in the area, but I'd look elsewhere for truly exceptional noodles.

Love the SHRIMP WONTONS soup ! So fresh and delicious ! Always eat wontons soup without egg noodle so they give more wontons ：） and order the yummy EGG NOODLE separate ! Must also BEEF BRISKET and famous for MARINATED PORC KNUCKLES !!

Despite the hot and humid weather in Hong Kong, I still enjoyed a hot bowl of wonton noodle soup from Mak Man Kee. The wontons had very meaty, juicy shrimp that were firm with a bit of 'crunch'. The egg noodles were very bouncy and had a good bite. A handful of these noodles and a few succulent wontons in the savory, yet not too salty broth makes a good meal. Depending on your appetite, one bowl may be a large snack, and two bowls a huge meal. My advice: get a bowl of wonton noodle soup and a plate of gai lan veggies for dinner here, and then a custard dessert or milk tea from Australia Dairy Company next door. Two other main dishes I tried here were the beef brisket noodle soup and the dry egg noodles with chasu. The beef brisket was very tender and fatty, and its broth was quite salty. The chasu was a bit dry, but definitely had a hint of smoky and sweet flavors. A bowl of broth was accompanied on the side of the latter dish. But in my opinion, stick to Mak Man Kee's best dish - the wonton noodle soup!

A real hole in the wall, Mak Man Kee is a small unassuming noodle shop with a pretty simple menu. You come for the egg noodles and shrimp wontons, eat your fill and leave. But for all the great food in the area, this Michelin guide recommended shop (2019) came across as just alright. An enjoyable light (and pretty cheap) meal that doesn't shine in particular. It's not a bad place to stop at, but it's certainly not a must visit, but it was certainly a nice filler for a late flight into Hong Kong.

If you are in the area and love wonton noodles, this Michelin starred shop is a must! Their wontons are filled with only shrimp (two pieces each) and nothing else. Each bowl has about four wontons accompanied by a handful of egg noodles. The bowl is rather small so if you are really hungry, I'd suggest ordering two. They keep it simple here... no frills. Just good ol' classic wonton noodles. We also ordered the pigs feet, which were pretty good and tasty. The sauce was thick and had a really nice salty and sweet flavor to it. If you're not too savvy with the chopsticks, the feet can be a bit slippery, so feel free to use your hands! The steamed dumplings (don't know the name) have a shrimp, pork, and mushroom filling and are also pretty good. I'm not the biggest fan of mushrooms (flavors too strong) in my dumplings, which is a great opportunity to use a hot sauce and vinegar mixture. In my opinion, this shop certainly belongs on the must eat list of places in Hong Kong. Agreeable prices, good tasting food, fast service, and opens late. All great signs, especially for a Michelin starred spot!

We were in the area and saw this on Yelp, so thought we would go. There are a sea of restaurant options around this location, so know that if you seek this out and they are busy, you have other options around you. This is one of those places that you sit down, shut up, order, eat and leave. My husband speaks and reads Chinese, so not a problem for us, but menu appeared to be entirely in Chinese (no photos of food, no English). I am going to guess there is a menu that surfaces for the average white traveler who looks completely lost (I see some photos on Yelp that indicates that they are there, I just did not see). They might not be friendly about giving it to you, but it is probably there. As per standard in this part of the world at restaurants like this, customer service is not steller and most act like they are doing us a favor in feeding us. Mak Man Kee is the same when it comes to this. We had some noodles, dumpling soup and veggies. My husband says this is traditional Cantonese food. Veggies were great (the oyster sauce is the trick, but veggies were fresh), noodles were good and dumplings were so-so...it comes down to the broth. The broth in the dumpling soup could have been better. This was not so flavorful and seemed bland. The dumpling itself was OK, but this dish is all about the broth. Anyway, I am glad we went and I think we our base line expectation of having a meal and having a full belly upon departure was met, but nothing spectacular and nothing earth shattering happening at this restaurant. We went to Sai Yung Kee in Hong Kong last week (I think there is one on Kowloon side too) and they too are a traditional Cantonese diner and the dumpling soup was tastier...again, it comes down to the broth.

Been wanting to come here for AGES. Tons of people and tons of blogs would always recommend for you to eat here or Mak's when you're in Hong Kong! I finally got to try this place out during my trip to Hong Kong! My friend and I got a bowl of their wanton noodles while my boyfriend got a bowl of their dumpling with noodles. I already knew that everything was going to come in small bowls so we were already prepared. This meal was our snack. Cause we hail from America, where every dish is about 3x the portion HAHA! Their wantons are a really good size and it was just filled with shrimp/prawns! Wantons in Hong Kong are definitely different than the ones in America. America's wantons have pork in it while this has NO pork. But of course, the winner of the dish has got to be their noodles. I'm a sucker for noodles and wanton noodles are one of my favorites. It's got a good bite, great taste when chili oil is added in, and it just provides that comforting feeling when I eat it. Décor is simple: everything is white. Everything is decently clean. They also have an English menu if you can't read Chinese. You just have to ask for it. The servers are very quick so be prepared. They'll ask you what you want as soon as you sit down. I haven't tried other places in Hong Kong so I can't exactly compare but this is definitely a place you'd want to try if you're visiting. The only thing I didn't like was that their sodas weren't cold enough ... but oh well -- it's still worth the visit.

Our HK friends brought us here during our 17hr layover. This was dinner spot #1 as the portions were pretty small compared to the ginormous bowls we get in the US. We ordered the wonton noodle soup and it basically came out in a typical rice bowl. It LOOKED pretty small but actually had a decent amount of egg noodles in it and 4 shrimp wontons. The broth is just enough so that you're not being wasteful. I love the egg noodles in HK because they're so bouncy! The shrimp wontons were also very good. I enjoyed this meal a lot since! It's cheap, simple, and hits the spot! After we were done, we went to dinner spot #2 next door for Australian Milk Company

I used to live on the next block (Pilkem St!), so I'd always hear my dad telling me how Mak Man Kee's wanton noodles are good and this and that. I'm pretty sure I came here as a kid, but I don't remember, so I made it a priority to eat here this past trip back to the motherland. I ordered a bowl of their famous wanton noodles. The bowl of noodles is not big by any means, but enough to fill you up. It came with four wanton's. The price for the wanton noodle is a bit too high for my liking ($32), but it's worth the experience. For two bowls of the noodles and one plate of greens, our total came out to be like $87 (which if you convert it into USD, it's really a good deal). Oh, and a side note: if you order a plate of greens and ask for oyster sauce, they'll charge you for that. I do recommend Mak Man Kee, BUT there are plenty of other noodle shops in HK that gives you more noodles for a cheaper price.

This is probably one of best prawn wonton noodle soup place that I have ever been. They only take cash and the servers do not speak any English. However, they do have an English menu. I had their beef/tendon dish, beef noodle soup, tiger prawn soup, and tiger prawn noodle soup. It's definitely worth trying and it is pretty clean. Their hot sauce is very good !

This is the best won ton noodle ever. It's our first and last stop in Hong Kong. There isn't an item on the menu we hunt enjoyed. Spoke to some fellow travelers there and they feel the exact same way. We have visited over 6 times across 2 trips. Don't be confused by the noodle place a couple of doors up with a similar name. Just remember it's the one next door to the Australian Dairy Company

Out of all the wonton and beef stew noodle shops we tried THIS was THE BEST in all categories , price , flavor , noodle ... just overall BEST. Their Choi sum was great as well , tender with a yummy sauce plus oyster sauce on the side if you like . Their won tons had the right bounce and bite. The broth was simple and clean. Noodles had perfect texture. And the best was the beef stew noodle soup . The tendons were gelatiny in all the right ways . We kept coming back here after trying other shops this is the one to beat in my book

Amazing egg noodle. I ordered vegetables and wonton noodles. These food are awesome. They came out fast. Oyster sauce is $1 more on top of the vegetable. Orders are small. For someone coming from America, I can solo 3 bowls myself. Prepare to bring yourself water and napkins. Restaurants in the area name similar to this restaurant. Be sure to click on the "outside" option under photo before going in. You may end up in the wrong restaurant.

The shrimp wonton noodle soup is incredible. Unlike so many of the other noodle soups that I've had, which always leaves a funny chemical after taste from using too much alkaline, the noodles here are perfectly al dente with just a tiny trace of the alkaline after taste, which is good enough for me. The shrimp wontons are juicy and super satisfying. We also ordered Chinese broccoli with oyster sauce. Although the oyster sauce is an additional dollar, I would recommend getting it. Compared to the traditional oyster sauce, there is an additional kick that brings out the sweetness of the vegetable. Definitely worth the visit!

I read several great reviews on this place, so ultimately I had to try it. Typically I avoid hole in the wall type of eateries when traveling Internationally but decided this was a must. We had the shrimp wonton noodle soup....the soup was very tasty, and had just enough noodles and wontons. They automatically give you tea but I didn't drink it, just wanted the noodles. The portions was perfect for me but if you're super hungry, you won't be full. My advice is to have it as a pre dinner meal or snack because it won't hold you for the entire night. I should also mention that I have an MSG intolerance, but I wanted it anyway. I did end up with a slight headache after but it was worth it.

I honestly regret not coming here the last time I was back in Hong Kong. This place really hit me right in the childhood feels when I came here for the first time. I don't know how something as simple as wonton noodles taste so incredibly amazing! The wonton skins were thin (unlike the ones in America), and there was a lot of filling and was super tasty. On top of that, the noodles weren't soggy, but they were really elastic and bouncy. Definitely a must get when you come here!

My in-laws has been coming here for decades and I finally here to see what the hype is all about. This place is all business, the decor to me feels like I was in a factory and the food is pretty straight-up as you get the noodle, you leave and someone else will sit down and do the same. There is no time for you to sit there after the meal to spark up any conversations. I ordered a variety of noodles from thin flat noodle to traditional wonton noodles. Keep in mind, these bowls of noodle are small so I was able to eat more than one bowl of anything. The noodles / broth was mediocre, what I did enjoy was the pig's feet stew - All I can say is, I should have started with this selection in the beginning rather than the end.

If you are a foodie lover, you should come to Hong Kong and this is why. My friend brought me here once and I was back there on subsequent trips! Just like Australian Dairy, this is equally as addictive thanks to the awesome wanton noodles it served! I have tasted a couple of good ones back home, Singapore but this is way better! This comes from someone who prefers rice to noodles, I guess that says it all, right? I had the beef and pork liver, both were equally as great! Soup is so good that I could ask for many bowls (just kidding), a 2nd serving would be enough. If I live in HK today, I can't imagine how big my tummy is today, probably 1/2 size bigger? So hop down to this stall and eat to your heart's content! Do take note that the place is small, so expect to share your table or wait for a while before your turn. Good things are worth the wait!
