Sister Wah Beef Brisket

Great beef brisket and noodle restaurant. Combination beef brisket, tendon & tripe was great. Fried pork chop & drunken chicken were tender and tasty. Noodles were also great. Service people were efficient and nice. Worth the wait.

I was pleasantly surprised by the clear broth, light yet unexpectedly flavorful. The beef brisket was tender and paired perfectly with the rice noodles, which tasted even better than expected. We didn’t have to wait long, probably because it was already around 8pm. The staff were efficient, friendly, and made the whole experience smooth. A simple but very satisfying meal. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area!

Solid 4 stars! The beef brisket lives up to its reputation. We showed up on a Tuesday afternoon around 2 pm and saw a queue outside. However, the restaurant was quick and we were seated after a 15 minute wait. Our party of three ordered curry beef brisket noodles, dry beef brisket noodles, and a fried pork chop soup noodle. Out of the three dishes, we liked the curry beef brisket the best. The curry made the brisket extremely tender and flavorful. The dry beef brisket noodles were good, but they didn't pack as much flavor as the curry. I ended up pouring the rest of the curry on my dry noodles, and that made all the difference. Skip the fried pork chop noodles. Service was fast, friendly, and helpful. Seating is extremely limited, but the restaurant does it's best to accommodate everyone.

Very lucky to get a table almost without waiting, it was a long queue afterward. The curry and dan dan brisket noodles are tasty. Some briskets are tender some are chewy, I guess you can’t get all tender part in one cow. Worth to try once but not with a very long queue. Recommended.

We came here twice last week, and both times the service was shockingly rude. The first visit was around 12pm. We were lucky not to queue, but as two people we had to share a 6-person table. After ordering two noodles and four snacks (HKD 450 in total), I politely asked if we could move to a just-emptied 2-person table. Before I could even finish my sentence, the waitress (probably the owner’s relative) cut me off with a sharp “No.” No manners. No respect. Absolutely disgraceful. The second visit was even worse. Four of us waited 30 minutes to get a table. As I stepped aside at the entrance to let others pass—a basic courtesy I picked up from years of living in the UK—the same waitress barked at me to hurry up. Instead of appreciating politeness, she chose to humiliate customers. Yes, the food is decent, but credit goes to the kitchen. The service is downright unacceptable. No service fee is charged, but that’s not an excuse for behaving like this. Without customers, this place wouldn’t even survive. If you don’t have the most basic respect for the people who pay your bills, why work in hospitality at all? This is not just bad service—it’s a complete lack of decency.

It’s old school, but the beef brisket soup lives up to its name. Beef is tender and the beef’s aroma is blended in nicely with the soup. Soup doesn’t taste heavy, very light, can keep drinking. Love it! The staff was also super chatty and helpful with our kid. But that said, not an easy place to bring a young child to

VERY cramped place, expect to wait during lunch and dinner hours. Though the service is very fast, it may take some time especially if you are in bigger group (they might split you to two tables). Food was great though, especially the beef brisket soup. Beef brisket curry was alright, very expensive for the portion given. Definitely not something you want to eat everyday due to the price, but it is probably driven up given its popularity with tourists as well.

Tried the curry brisket on the first day. Went back the 2nd day for the regular brisket noodle soup. Both are good. I like the Curry best because of the spice and the extra kick. :) The beef here are so tender. The soup are full of flavour. Service staff is excellent even thou I don't speak cantonese. This place always have a queue because its a small establishment with only 9 tables. However you don't have to wait long for a seat unless you are a big group.

Very good - but also very expensive for what it is. Sister Wah specializes in "clear broth beef brisket" that melts in your mouth, and together with rice noodles (hor fun)... it is mmm mmm mmm good. But this tasty bowl also comes with a hefty price tag of $100 HKD. About double the price of what a typical beef brisket bowl of noodles would cost you in HK. This place is Michelin recommended and there's always a line. We arrived at 10pm and saw that there's only 3pp ahead of us, so we seized the opportunity and got in the line, and were seated after 5-10 of waiting. Between the 3 of us, we ordered a few dishes: 1.) Beef brisket combo rice noodles: excellent in taste. You can also slurp up all the soup ... the brisket melts in your mouth and it is really excellent. 2.) Beef brisket combo egg noodles - briskets are just as good, and their egg noodles are crunchy and very good as well 3.) Soy Bean Drink: Excellent and it's home made! Full of soy bean taste and the sweetness is just right. We tried both the hot and cold and I would recommend the cold 4.) Daikon in soup - very good and tasty. And, drink the soup too! 5.) Chinese Broccoli (Gai Lan): braised in the beef broth, very tasty and cooked just right 6.) Won ton in spicy oil - we wanted to try their wonton too, so ordered a side dish. Their wonton is also very good but pales compared to their beef brisket. Worth to try at least once Overall rather comfy seating for HK standard. Food is very good with expected HK-style super fast and efficient service. Only complaint is the rather expensive price... The total came to a whopping $500HKD for a very 'regular', very very casual meal. :/

Hole in the wall spot that specializes in beef brisket broth based noodle dishes, simple it may sound but it is still my top 3 places for comfort food in HK. We try to stop by here each time in HK. The broth was amazing, not salty or MSG like other places, brisket was sliced to medim thickness: tender, succulent & delish. Place is tiny & u will have to share table with strangers.

Well, there is a reason why they have over 10 plaques on the wall for over 10 consecutive years of making it to the Michelin recommended restaurants list. Ok let's be frank it's a hole in the wall mom and pop place, nothing "fancy" ambience-wise. But the food is awesome! And you can see both local and tourist people equally enjoying this place - always a good sign. Pricy is very reasonable, eat away! The three beef combo is the best way to go to have a taste of every type of cut. I personally loooooove the tripe beef. The clear broth rice noodle is wonderful, so is the Dandan noodle (with a peanut/sesame butter flavor). Key tip: DO add at least a small scoop from the chilies oil jar on the table. It's not obvious it's needed, but oh how it upgrades the taste profile. If you like spicy, add even more. It's a glass mason jar with a lid, open it, and there is a tiny scoop in there, just use it and screw the lid back on afterwards. P.s the owner lady is mighty nice. P.s p.s, bring your own napkins. And pretty much CASH only if you don't have local digital payment methods.

I think Sister Wah still reigns supreme as far as brisket noodles go. The brisket is soft, delicious, flavorful, the soup tastes like it's been cooked for YEARS on the same pots (you know how it goes ...) and the noodles are fresh. This is definitely one of our top places in HK and after 5 years continues to be just as good! While some other contenders have really come up as far as curry/brisket curry noodles go, Sister Wah is still clean, delicious and good portions for price. They also make crispy fried fish skin, which I actually never tried IRL and that was a surprise in itself. Get extra daikon!

This was the best food I had during my entire trip to Hong Kong (including a Michelin star restaurant). This place is a hole-in-the-wall with very limited seating. You will share a table with strangers for sure. I ordered the Dan Dan Noodle with Beef Brisket and it was excellent. I'm not a big fan of tendon and there was a small amount attached to it, but the meat itself was delicious and tender. This place will be on my must-haves every time I'm in Hong Kong now.

AMAZING MICHELIN SPOT!!! The noodles and beef brisket are to die for! You must come here. They are famous for their beef brisket noodles! The beef brisket is very thin and nice. The menu has English as well, & server speaks English. We got the Dan Dan noodles and were extremely happy. It's a small shop but the turnover with seats is fast. Get there right when they open (11am) to avoid a line. It's so good that there is always a line once lunch time comes. I'd highly recommend it

First meal of our trip - short walk from hotel in Causeway Bay. We got there around 4:30pm on a Friday afternoon and were seated immediately. We got a bowl of brisket in soup only and another bowl of brisket with white flat noodles ("fun"). I like the one with noodles more. Maybe because the soup base is piping hot as compared to the other one is just warm. The brisket is 10/5. I would definitely come back again before the end of this trip. Very yummy.

Comforting bowl of rice noodle soup with tender beef! The line for lunch went by fairly quick. Sit down order. Eat. Then pay. The broth was clean and had a great flavor. The side of radish was sweet and cooked nicely. Dumplings in chili oil was ok but I would stick to the soup. Small mom and pop shop that was nicely air conditioned. Give this place a try!

Been 4 years since I've been here & I'm back visiting HK & decided to stop by cause I'm in the neighborhood. Yup. Just like I remembered it. Tastes great & prices haven't changed. The only thing that's different is that there are a bunch of Michelin "mention" placards on the wall. I think it means the restaurant can be found in the Michelin guide.

Noodle texture was good but soup was a bit salty. Beef tendon was tender but some parts a bit chewy. Good to stop by if you're in the neighborhood, but don't go out of your way

Small and unassuming, Sister Wah packs massive flavour into its bowls of slurp-worthy noodles--so much so that I ordered a second bowl before finishing my first. CURRY BEEF BRISKET ($50): Right before it even got to the table, I could smell the fragrant aroma of the curry. Sister Wah serves the curry beef brisket separately from the soup noodles, so you are free to eat it whichever way you like. I personally dumped all the curry into my soup noodles because I wanted the full curry flavour. It was absolutely delicious. The beef brisket had some chew to it, but was still tender enough to soak up the richness of the curry and gradually melt in your mouth. The flat rice noodles were a nice accompaniment as they were light and silky smooth. Based on previous Yelp recommendations, I also ordered a side order of TURNIP ($8), but honestly, I didn't care for it much as it was served in the soup and obviously didn't have enough time to marinate in the curry. DAN DAN NOODLES WITH BEEF TRIPE ($55): Between the curry beef brisket and the dan dan noodles, I prefer the former. Sister Wah's take on the dan dan noodles is a bit more acidic/pickled and less peanut-y in flavour, but it is still good in its own right. The noodles here were thinner and springier, which I appreciated as it carried the flavour of the soup well. As for the beef tripe, it was incredibly tender and looked exactly as I like it with each crevice of its wide honeycomb appearance (as opposed to book or blanket) brimming with the sheen of the soup. Finally, the service at Sister Wah is pretty standard--they simply seat you at a table (mine was shared), take your order, and leave you to enjoy your meal. It was a bit odd to have some of the staff watch me eat my two meals in shock, but I'm slowly getting more accustomed to that now in Hong Kong...

When in Hong Kong, you come here for a cheap Michelin Star dinner. I mean, who doesn't love beef brisket noodle soup??? The joint is a cramped space where they just put you wherever you fit, so we joined a table of three. We ordered the beef brisket soup and the beef brisket with dan dan noodles. We both liked the first one best. Broth flavor was amazing and light, brisket cooked to perfection, noodles were light and eggy. But don't get me wrong. The dan dan noodle soup was very good as well, it was heavier with a strong peanut flavor. It's just one of those things where the original can't be beat. Our meal was a total of $100 HKD and worth every penny. This was perfect for a chilly December night. I highly recommend!!!!!

Small, simple and to the point! Sister Wah is located in a small building that you probably will miss the first time you come here. The restaurant and presentation isn't anything special.... they just make good food here. If you're craving some noodle soup than this place will hit the spot. The broth is seasoned just right and the beef is soft. I had the beef brisket soup and I was highly satisfied! The recommendation: Nothing fancy, but come here for some simple, cheap and delicious beef noodle soup.

That was some of the best noodles I have had in a long time. Everything was quick. Get in, Get food. Get out. But every bite has flavor. The broth embraces you. Warm, rich, and very umami. The noodles where a great texture. It is smooth but still present. Lastly, the meat just gives you a powerful closure. Overall, the food was more than delectable. Service wise, there is not much to talk about. They ask what you want and they deliver it to you. Same goes with the ambiance. It is a small corner store. Yet, the long lines and the wall of Michelin plaques tells you just how great it is. Highly recommend you go during earlier hours. Otherwise you will have to wait for a VERY long time.

The struggle of finding Sister Wah was real. We accidentally went to and sat down at the restaurant next door because we thought it was Sister Wah (they served similar dishes) but left once we asked the waitress and was told that Sister Wah was next door. Awkward. Once we walked in we were told to sit down at a table where a man was still sitting. He didn't look quite ready to leave but we sat down because the server told us to... lol. I guess it's not considered rude in HK to push and pressure someone out of their table. I felt REALLY weird about it so I faced the outside. LOL. Originally I was going to order the Beef Brisket in Clear Noodle Soup but after looking more at the pictures and reading more of the reviews, decided to order the Dan Dan Noodles with Beef Brisket. Our noodles came out pretty quickly. The Dan Dan Noodles were slightly spicy, the sauce had a hint of peanut, the beef brisket was tender and falls apart as you pick it up, and the dan dan noodles were PERFECT. They were probably my favorite part of the dish. They give quite a large amount of noodles too. I also tried the flat rice noodles in clear broth since my mom got it; the noodles were soft and the broth was light. Very good. We also got a side of seasonal veggies with the sauce on the side because vegetables. I'd definitely recommend Sister Wah's to friends and I would totally come back again!

When I first visited Hong Kong several years ago, I was too afraid to dine at a lot of local joints since I was traveling by myself and didn't know any Cantonese aside from simple greetings. But, on my recent trip to "Asia's World City" to eat and pray (but not love), I gathered my courage and did what I hadn't done last time: enter Sister Wah, a bustling hole in the wall noodle shop just outside of Tin Hau station. As other reviews have mentioned, Sister Wah is notable for its brisket noodle soup ($45 HKD or $6 USD). I ordered the brisket noodle soup with egg noodles, and was thoroughly pleased with my choice. (For all noodle dishes, you have the option of ordering egg noodle or rice noodles.) Although the egg noodles and beef broth were fine, the beef brisket was definitely the star of the show! The kitchen had seemingly done the impossible: cook a consistently good, amazingly tender piece of meat! Portions are on the smaller side, but still more substantial than other wonton noodle shops, like Mak's Noodle. It's relatively easy to negotiate the restaurant even though the language barrier might initially seem off-putting: there is an English menu available and at least one of the staff speaks English. As with many smaller restaurants in Hong Kong, you will likely be sharing your table with random people. While this doesn't lend itself to comfort, it does make for interesting dining experiences. I shared a small table with a pair of elderly locals who were amused by the waiter's description of the noodles as "fat" or "skinny." P.S. Early bird gets the worm! The restaurant typically has a line during prime mealtimes, but I didn't have to wait in the middle of the afternoon.

After a long, tiring flight, Sister Wah was the game plan for my first meal in Hong Kong. I dropped in on a late Monday evening (around 9:30pm) and the place wasn't busy. I had a table to myself but halfway through my meal, two strangers sat in the other seats. Be prepared for that when it's busy. Service is fast and I got my bowl within minutes. - Beef brisket with soup noodles ($45 HKD) - you choose your type of noodles (flat rice, egg or rice vermicelli). I went with the flat rice noodles. The clear broth was simple but tasty. Brisket was tender and fatty. A couple of green onions rounded things off. I tried their speciality and it was a great first meal.

I hope SW is still great as I have not been there since 2019, pre-pandemic. The beef brisket with noodles is classic and the best! Simple, tender and great flavors. As I have gotten older, I favor simple and basic dishes that also bring up fond memories of a better time without all the current world craziness. Don't be a snob and try this simple and basic place for working folks and foodies who don't have the attitude. No complaints about sharing tables or the lack of ambiance. Just remember how much you are paying for your bowl of brisket with noodles.

I don't get why this place has so many high reviews. It actually got me excited to try this place out. We got here around 7 and the place was crowded, so we had to wait for a table. I was a little tired from being out all day, so i decided to order it to go. We got three of the beef brisket noodles soups, and walked home which was only 5 mins away. They did place the noodles and soups apart so it didn't become soggy. When i tried the beef, i found it a little tough. It wasn't as tender as i hoped for. I had trouble chewing on the beef. The noodles were ok and went with the soup pretty well. I would recommend giving the place next door a try over this place.

The beef noodle soup is pretty good here. US$6 a bowl. The place is super small here. Be prepared to share a table with other patrons. The table is very small and we had 6 other strangers sitting with us. This is a place where you will just eat and go. I would not recommend if you come here with more than 2 people in your party.

Great beef noodle soup at fair prices. Worth trying. Worth repeating. FOOD Brisket with rice noodles - clear broth. Good noodles. Decent quality beef. Tasty. Get this Brisket with Dan Dan noodles - this brownish sauce is peanut based I think. I'm not a big peanut fan so I skipped this. It's popular though! AMBIENCE Pretty much your basic little HK restaurant. Very small and classic looking with about 7 small tables which means it seats about 40... Uncomfortably. SERVICE Simple service. You walk in (possibly after waiting in line) and sit down at a table (usually shared with someone unless your party is large enough to fill the whole table). Someone will take your order and you will get your food within a few minutes. After you're done, just get up and pay on your way out. LOCATION Tin Hau MTR exit A2. It's close enough to see from the MTR exit.

OMG where do I begin? The place is small. A whole in the wall. You can see it from the street but I actually went up and down once because I missed the entrance. First off, thanks to all the fellow helpers for leading me to this gem. Second, to anyone who's never been here, GO EAT HERE. Do not miss it. No I don't work for a commission and I'm just a tourist who stumbled upon it after searching on yelp. But I've traveled and dined enough to know when I've found something special. I'll post more soon. I liked the beef shank with Dan dan noodles so much I ordered the brisket and Dan Dan noodles and some of their rice to go so I'll post the food section in a bit. But for now, GO EAT HERE! Awesome service, delicious food, and CHEAP!

Located right beside Victoria Park, sister Wah is one of those places that just draws you in everytime you walk past. The window is plastered with pictures of people (or celebrities?) who have visited and the brisket is a must. After I arrived in Hong Kong, beef brisket was one of those things that I've eaten over and over again, and this place definitely has some great brisket. They boil the meat for hours in this broth, and you end up with this super soft, tender, and juicy piece of meat. It also has a great mix of fat and lean meat which I really like. Whether you get it with noodles, rice, or in a curry, sister Wah definitely satisfies that craving for meat.

Omg, yummy. While the soup and noodles were delicious on their own, they were nothing compared to how good the brisket meat tasted. The brisket was so tender and delicious. The only aspect of my experience at Sister Wah that I was disappointed with was the size of the brisket noodle soup. Even though it was only $6-7 USD, the "entree" felt more like an appetizer. I finished all the noodles in a few bites. If you are looking for sometime to fill up on, I recommend ordering one of the rice entrees. If you are here with a small party or by yourself, be prepared to share a table with random strangers.

My first meal in the city after getting off the plane, and it might be a combination of having endured airplane food on a 16 hour flight and just being tired and delirious, but WOOOOW, this soup resurrected me from the dead. The broth isn't too salty and tastes like it can cure anything. I got the fat rice noodle which did break off into shorter noodles, but still delicious nonetheless. The tripe and brisket were soft and not "too chewy." My friend got the beef curry noodle soup, and the curry comes on the side and is v tasty! Also, CHEAP EATS! My meal came out to about 7USD, and we paid cash. Not sure if they take card - didn't even try.

The owner who works there everyday grinds the soup base early morning and marinates the beef. As a result, you have the best tasting beef brisket noodle soup you'll ever get in Hong Kong x the world. Exemplified by all the local celebs who visited and are also on the wall. For a different perspective, add the curry and you'll never go wrong

My all time favourite for beef brisket. Comfort food and a childhood memory for every locals. The soup broth itself is light and favorable. The beef brisket is soft and tender. Glass noodles are perfect pair with the two. I highly recommend it to everyone.

My dad recommended 華姐清湯腩 to me. We were staying around the area so it was very convenient for us to visit here. Service was excellent! I was taking a picture of the beef noodles that we've ordered and the boss came over to re-position the noodle soup for me for better photo ops haha BEEF BRISKET with egg noodle, clear soup (4/5) It was so yummy! The boss recommended the rice noodle but I prefer egg noodle over that. We came here twice during our stay in Hong Kong because it was so good :P * Next time I'd like to try the veggie rice with beef brisket, a grammie at our table ordered it and it smelt and looked sooo gooddd :D

Curry beef brisket noddles: 5/5. Better than Gau Gei. Prepare for a long wait.

This place has a long tradition in Hong Kong. It's main rival is just next door serving almost the same food. This is a typical Hong Kong fast food stall. It's simple, tables are cramped, it's small and it's noisy. Be prepared to share a table with people as they don't waste even one seat. But the food is good! Here it's all about beef brisket in all kinds of variations. Try it with clear broth or with noodles or even try the curry beef brisket. They are all very good. It is one of the best in Hong Kong and the value for money is great.

I've been here twice. It's a nice hole-in-the-wall place for beef brisket near Tin Hau station. This time, i got the curry beef brisket with noodles. The beef brisket was very tender and the noodles were very 爽.

Was in the neighborhood and thought: Why not try one of the most raved-about, no-nonsense eateries in Hong Kong? Rather than getting the regular beef brisket noodle (a quintessentially Hong Kong dish, and the item for which this humble shop is most known), I had the beef brisket dan dan noodle. This wasn't voluntary - I just saw the words "dan dan noodle" and reacted. It was delicious - that unctuous broth, those incomparably bouncy fresh egg noodles. The brisket itself was good, albeit forgettable. Still, this bowl of noodle soup was the most easily, inarguably tasty thing I'd had in Hong Kong up to that point. I evaded most of the masses by arriving at an awkward 3pm on a weekday. The space was still crowded, but relatively bright and clean. You'll definitely have to share a table with strangers unless you come with a group of 3+. Compared to other noodle shops in their class, Sister Wah is a bit pricier: HKD46 for my bowl (I know, I know, cheap as chips, but it's noodle soup in Asia). They also refuse to accept coins for payment because apparently HKD at the coin denomination is worthless. Dangit, economy!

Arrived on a rainy Wednesday around 1:30p and there was no wait for 2 people. We ordered just the clear beef brisket with hor fun noodles (48 HKD) and paid an extra 20 HKD for extra brisket. The broth was light and the brisket was tender. Perfect for a cooler day and a less saucy meal.

SIster Wah and its neighbour Da Li Beef Brisket Noodles are both noodle legends in Tin Hau. Popular with locals, students, and sweaty ballers from Victoria Park, These are no frills eateries focusing mainly on beef brisket noodles with a choice of beef broth, curry, or dan dan (sichuan and peanut sauce) style. In case you are wondering what the difference between Da Li and Sister Wah is, here is the backstory: While Da Li has been around for a long time - I first went when I was a student some 15+years ago - and Sister Wah "only" opened 13 years ago in 2004, Sister Wah is actually a real person, the elder sister of the owner of Da Li and she ran Da Li for many years before starting her adjacent location. Talk about sibling rivalry, they should've made a reality show out of this, it would've been, juicy. But I heard they somehow get along and both still do really good business, both places are perpetually busy. The flavors are very similar anyway, so traffic spills over into each other. The brisket at Sister Wah's is succulent, fall-off-the-bone tender (if they give you the bone) and very beefy. And they have snacks like fried chicken wings and turnip in broth, which is a must to go with brisket. The curry sauce at Sister Wah's slightly pales to Da Li according to my tastebuds, for it is like a kid's curry, tasty but zero heat in it. Brisket, turnip and noodles are the main attraction here, and anything else is really a waste of precious tummy space, in my opinion. The lines are shorter than Kau Kee in Central for both stores, and during off hours usually you can walk right in to find seats. Food is consistently delicious, and the bill is never more than HKD 100 - In all my numerous visits, I have walked out licking my lips, feeling satisfied and fearful of the day Sister Wah retires. This is the pinnacle of local HK food experiences. Sibling rivalry may be a good thing after all.

Came here with a party of 6 and waited in line for about 15-20 minutes, a testament to Sister Wah's popularity! They freed a big table for us so that we could all sit together. All of us ordered the dan dan noodles with beef brisket - 牛腩擔擔麵. Let me tell you, it's a life changer. The peanut-y soup with tender beef brisket and bouncy noodles, accompanied by a fresh cup of cold soy milk could not have been more perfect. I will be back.

A cool January evening and feeling the slightest bit of a cold coming on-- I knew soup was needed. Luckily Sister Wah was there to rescue me right across the street. I've learned that Beef Noodle Soup here is a thing, and coming from Califronia... I was missing Phó. My favourite thing is beef tendon in Phó... and Sister Wah had just that-- tendon and noodle soup. Beautiful fatty pieces of tendon floating in a lovely light, flavourful broth with your choice of egg noddle or rice noodle (I had egg noodles the first time, but prefer the flat rice noodles myself). At only $40, it is also a steal. Staff was quite friendly and helpful and apologetic for bumping you in the cramped space. The menu includes a fair number of other items, perhaps when the weather changes I'll come back to try something else. Great quick stop in Tin Hau if in the area.

I discovered Sister Wah by total luck. While walking around Causeway Bay with a friend, we stumbled upon this little shop with a line of people waiting outside. Just outside of exit A2 of Tin Hau station, on Electric Road is Sister Wah. Quick to realize this is a beef brisket place, we decided to give it try. When we got to the front of the line, (which didn't take more than 10 minutes) we saw all the newspaper articles about this place. Awesome, we found a gem! Greeted by a friendly man with glasses, he noticed my Starbucks cup and asked me if i had brought him any...haha. Once inside, its pretty much your normal noodle shop. No more than 10 tables that are shared amongst people with either their heads staring down into their noodles with headphones on, or a small group of friends buzzing about how yummy the brisket is. Right, ordering time. Quite a few options, but seeing all the articles outside were about the infamous beef brisket over some noodles in clear broth, any other choice just seemed silly. We did not make the wrong call. The noodles came quick, steamy, and full of aroma. Aahh~ Beef brisket was super tender and nearly melts in your mouth. The broth...all I can say is wow! I love how something that is so simple can be so amazingly flavorful. Some scallions sprinkled on top provided the hint of freshness to draw our full attention to the bowl and forgetting about each other. We also ordered a serving of turnips and they were also nothing short of spectacular. So sweet, so full of flavor...yum! This meal topped off with a nice cold cup of soy milk, fantastic! Our whole meal didn't last more than 20 minutes from start to finish. We left as happy customers and will definitely return. It can be on a blazing hot day, and if I find myself in Tin Hau, I always get my beef brisket fix here at Sister Wah. Please note, there is also a location in Sai Ying Pun.

We came here after walking the large CNY market and luckily there was no wait for 7 people. I was told by a local that during busy times there is almost a guaranteed line to get in. I've only been to one other place for beef brisket in clear broth and thats Kau Kee. Now you might think from the 3 star review I didn't enjoy my meal here which isn't true. But if I was going to do a blind taste test comparison I would definitely have to give the nod to Kau Kee and their tiny ass portions. Both places have tender brisket with rice noodle but I would say that the broth at Kau Kee is more flavorful and not just in a add more MSG kind of way. Most everyone got soy milk which I guess is a thing here and it was good, not sure why its so special though. The braised daikon servings was probably the most surprising thing that was good here since I didn't know that was something I could get. The order is quite big so its best when shared with others.

This was the highlight in the noodles category of our trip to HK and I'd say half of our meals had noodles in them. The beef brisket noodles was amazing. The beef was so tender and broth was excellent. Dan dan noodles were good too. Plus everything was cheap. This place beats out kau kee easy. Wait was not bad. Small place

Tiny hole in the wall with great food. Very basic - communal seating, no napkins, etc. Instead you get incredible home made dumplings, fresh noodles, and soft simmered beef brisket in your choice of soup or stirfry. Lots of great other stuff like pork dumplings in chili oil. The curry beef brisket was especially delish. Owner speaks some English and menu is in English so it was easy for us to order :) he's super nice too.

This place is fantastic either for a quick bite or a simple lunch or dinner . This place offers traditional Hong Kong beef brisket noddle with prices ranging from 50- 80 dollars , the tenderness of the beef will melt away in your mouth but I recommend pairing it with the sweet radish Which will make a super combo the other suggestion is that the place often has a line and the owners often pair people up so they can maximize the space so come during non rush hours.

This is one of the local places to go on HK island side. It is a very humble establishment and what people in the US would call a mom and pop shop. Came here on a weekday at around 6pm and there was a small line up to get in. The restaurant itself isn't decorated and it's quite small on the inside. Given the size, if you have a smaller party you probably will get seated with other people. I don't think there was a bathroom either. Also this place was also cash only. But all those logistics set aside when you want to experience the local cuisine and the culture this is definitely the place to come. I got the beef noodle soup which is what they are famous for and it was so good. The noodles had just the right consistency and the beef itself was very flavorful and tender. The broth wasn't too salty and I didn't feel weighed down after the meal either. The service isn't great but it's not the worst either. As in ever mom and pop place in HK bring your own napkins and sanitizer. Would recommend this place if you are looking for a good noodle place.

Stood outside in 35°C temperature in a 15 minutes queue waiting to eat HOT noodle soup, but it was well worth it. When it was finally our turn, we were quickly ushered into the restaurant and was pointed to the one open table in the restaurant. It was a round table that seats 5-6 people so our party of 3 only had the table to ourselves for a few minutes before another party of 2 sat down. The restaurant is very small and takes some maneuvering to move around the restaurant. Sister Wah is famous for their 'clear broth brisket noodle soup'. This was easily the best one I've ever had. The egg noodles were cooked to perfection (al dente). The brisket was very tender and meaty. We also ordered a 'Shanghai Drunken Chicken' dish that I thought was mediocre. It's a cold dish with the chicken typically marinated in alcohol. This chicken was bland and did not have much alcohol flavour.

In my opinion this place is a must try if you ever find yourself in Hong Kong. As most popular HK eateries go, this place is a no frills, busy, shared table kind of place. But no worries, as the food here speaks for itself and can be had at a very economical price. I recommend going with a friend and sharing the brisket with rice noodles and the brisket with dan dan noodles. Or just be fatty and order both for yourself. One protip I have is that if you like the fattier and more tender pieces of brisket just ask the server when he takes your order! They are happy to oblige. However, if you have high cholesterol or at high risk of heart disease then please disregard this tip. The noodles in both dishes were cooked perfectly and oh so fresh. If you typically like lighter broths go with the brisket with rice noodles as the broth is a clear and lighter, although still very flavorful. If you enjoy thicker broths as well as savory peanut flavors then definitely go with the brisket with dan dan noodles. Either way you can't go wrong, and as Jiro dreams of sushi, I dream of these brisket noodle soups. Slurp on my friends!

This is a once in a life time meal. I ordered the Dan Dan noodles with beef brisket and I am still reeling. The broth was in a whole different level of flavor and the spring onions were perfect in the bite. It's a wonderful meal that was not too pricy (55HKD) especially for the flavors you get and in comparison to other places. The service was fantastic and I know I'll be going back again and again.

I love the ho fun soup with beef brisket and beef tendon. The soup here is so delicious and flavorful, you can smell the beef soup when you walk into the store. The beef brisket is super soft and delicious, and the beef tendon is perfectly cooked. I don't like beef noodle soup usually but I make an exception for Sister Wah. Best of all, the two times I've been here for lunch there's been no wait at all!

First found this place 2 years ago as I was staying at a hotel nearby. One of the best clear broth beef brisket and beef tendon noodle soups that I have had. Also have tried the curry beef brisket. Beef is very tender. Everything is delish! The place is very small with 6 small tables and if you are dining in, you will likely be sharing a table. There may be a wait as well depending on when you go. Have also gotten take out but they will charge $1HKD for each takeout container. Price very reasonable.

It's my second visit to "Wah Jeh." My first was in 2016 when I visited HK and took my wife. On a recent trip, I took my brother. Both times, sharing table was a necessary house rule. Anyway, we both had the flat rice noodle soup (tong hor fun) with sliced beef brisket and chunks of daikon radish thrown into the mix; it was very satisfying! The noodle's mouthfeel was slippery, soft, and a little chewy -- hallmark textures of good flat rice noodle. But, if I have to play favorites, then the brisket and broth are the standout components that are pulling the weight. The beef is very tender with just the right amount of flavors marinated into them...nothing overpowering. Very nicely done, also, is the broth. It's beefy and clean, with an accent of that "it goes so well together" brisket-daikon chemistry!

I was steered here by Ju L.'s review (http://www.yelp.com/biz/%E8%8F%AF%E5%A7%90%E6%B8%85%E6%B9%AF%E8%85%A9-%E9%A6%99%E6%B8%AF?hrid=l93Pmx9xk8bNQkYpoiV1kg) and hers covers all the useful things. I don't have much to add except to confirm the beef brisket dan dan noodles here is perfect. It wasn't just the best brisket-noodle soup I had in a week-long stay in Hong Kong, it was the best dish, period.
