The long awaited Shake Shack Hong Kong just opened on May 1st, 2018. It is located on the 4th floor of the IFC mall with an amazing view of the harbor and the Kowloon skyline. It's shiny and new and everyone wants a piece of it. Be prepared to wait 1-2 hours! Inside can seat close to about 50 people, which I prefer because of the AC, but there is also plenty of seating outside. Please don't be that guy/girl that saves a table for your party when they are still in line. It is not necessary and annoying especially when you have another 30-45 min wait in line. Anyway, another plus is, there is a convenient touchless handwashing machine. It was broken the second time I went, 5 days after the grand opening, but I hope it will get fixed soon. Cute promo items are available for sale (T-shirt, onesie, dog bowl, leash, dog shirt, wine), and they even sell doggy biscuits! Puppy Power!
The staff is friendly and appear to be happy to serve you. It takes just under 10 minutes to get your food after you place your order, and it comes out hot and fresh! Just make sure to head straight to the counter when your buzzer pager goes off. The food is made from responsibly sourced ingredients with no added hormones or antibiotics. The taste? Well, the cheese fries were a little bit drenched in too much cheese in my opinion. I mean they tasted great until I got to the middle bottom and it was just smothered in cheese goodness. I needed more fries to balance it out. I suggest getting one cheese fries and one regular fries and share with a friend. The Milk tea shake was good, not too thick, but I sat outside when I had it, and it was hot, so... ?? The house made lemonade is refreshing. The Chick 'n Shack was ok. The shroom patty is amazing! -crispy fried portobello stuffed with melted cheese. Omg, yum! The Shack Stack have both the shroom AND beef patty! I savored every single bite. It's probably my favorite burger right now. And no, you do not want to share burgers here! They get murdered! You also can't go wrong with the classic shackburger. To me, the shackburger is perfect. It has a good ol' greasy (tasty) beef patty with melted cheese, lettuce, tomato, and the amazing shack sauce! I also tried the concretes or 'vanilla custard' cups in the HK Style and That's My Jam, but I have a feeling I haven't found my favorite flavor yet. I will need to return to try the rest. I also love that they serve beer and wine! Ugh! Now I want to go back after writing this review!
