This is the typical Chinese restaurant, located in central HK, very convenient, ample menu, a bit generic but good quality. Service not so great, it works if you are tired of being tail tagged by waiters.

This place is over rated place. We loved the carpet color+patterns on the floor and the old 1960 wall murals, but honestly for once a Michelin starred eating place it makes no effort for presentation. It was not special at all yet my Australian friends said that this was a must dine place on tourist books.

Having not dined here for a few years it is nice to get an update. Service was adequate and I can imagine it can go downhill very rapidly when it gets busy, I was there when it was less than half full. The roast goose was good , most of the dishes did arrive slowly. I would say this restaurant... More

Ate at this famous old restaurant for the first time and I didn't think much of it, infact I feel the prices are not justified for its quality of food. The roast goose was good, succulent and fatty like it should be, but the rest of the food (Choi Sum stir fry garoupa fish; sweet and sour pork) were overall... More

Roasted Duck in Yung Kee Restaurant is very popular, but I found it was not stable. You can also have other traditional dishes in there, such as Fried Milk, Simmered Pork with Dry Plums and a dessert of Red Bean Soup with Dry Tangarine Skin

Ki Chong was so cool such that she forgot the first dishes. Pork and vegetables were came after 10 mins, goose never came til we asked one other... More

No wonder they lost the single star recently. Food here is average in a factory style multi-tiered eatery. I guess people are voting with their feet since it was the only joint accepting orders after my first five Chinese choices were fully booked. Does not hlep that they are persistently pushing different items for the two pax. attending. Bravo

Somepeople says it is expensive, but I don't find its expensive,the price is competitive with luk yu. And the location make it more expensive. Food serving was a lot, if you order by portion. The roast goose is just ok, everything is just ok for me, and not to die for, not to come back if you have a choice.... More

Truthfully,I didn't know what to expect,it was a restaurant recommended by our hotel. I did not know it had been in business since 1942 or that it had held,until recently a star in the Michelin guide. We went in and were directed upstairs. At the desk upstairs we were given a number. A regiment of straight backed chairs held Chinese... More
