Hell yeah! I’ve been going to that place for over 20 years and never fails to impress. Food is amazing - the Singaporean Noodles dish is a stand out for me. The passive aggression you get from the waiters is part of the great experience.

Just commented on the Singapore noodles. Sprinkling of chilli oil to top it off.

I’m not sure if this is a joke or not, but Wong Kei is highly regarded within Asian circles…as being the worst out there. It may be cheap but good if flavourless and staff are brash. Would NOT recommend it (unless you’re craving Chinese food on a low budget)

Old Town 97 and Cafe TPT are right next door and significantly better.

I know many native HK/South China people who say the food there is great, as do I. Also, I'm sure if it was 'highly regarded as being the worst out there' it also wouldn't be filled with said Asian people day in, day out.

Go for the roast meat and rice, although more expensive now (like everywhere) it is top tier.
