稻香 • 茶居 (鱷魚恤中心店)

We were in Hong Kong for a few days and wanted to have some steamed fishi. This restaurant was just about a few minutes from our hotel, which made it very convenient. We walked in on a Sunday evening around 6:00 pm without a reservation and were seated immediately. After looking over the menu, we ordered the four-person set for around HKD 600. It included chicken, soup, vegetables, steamed fish, shrimp toast, and complimentary dessert. Tea is charged per person, which is standard in Hong Kong. One interesting detail we noticed: the tea station was positioned right outside our booth. It’s an automatic system where hot water flows from a larger reservoir into the teapot and refills continuously. There’s no need for staff to manually top up the water, which feels both efficient and relatively hygienic. The food quality was good overall. They offer a wide variety of seafood — geoduck, crab, lobster, and more — but we skipped those since we primarily wanted the steamed fish. No one rushed us during the meal, which we appreciated. With tea charges and gratuity, the total came to close to HKD 700 for four people. Overall, it was a good meal and a convenient, reliable option.

I had dimsum breakfast here a couple of years ago, yet this comment is for the 2 dinners we had in the last 10 days. We tried their promotional offer last Friday afternoon at around 5:30, everything was fine. The steamed grouper, not pictured here, was a bit plain though. This Fri we got in at 6:30, although not yet full, servers were already overwhelmed and everything was slow. We ordered an extra dish of stir-fried goose intestine and waited for 15 min. When we managed to get hold of a waitress and ask for its whereabouts, she returned and suggested we cancel the order. It's quite annoying that your waiting is for nothing!

Very good place for breakfast, well worth with pretty good dim sum dishes and aromatic tea. I really love congee with preserved egg. Service level is average. Highly recommended!

This is my first time having lunch here, and I was pleasantly surprised that the restaurant uses QR codes for ordering, which is very convenient. The self-service tea is great, and it’s even more efficient when poured by someone. The quality of the food is generally okay, especially their fried ‘Youtiao’ rice noodle roll, which is not as hard as a rock like in other places, but crispy and delicious，just the rice noodle skin is thicker. However, I was a bit disappointed with the fermented bean curd pork knuckle; there wasn’t much meat. The Teochew rice dumpling skin was also thick, lacking the distinct Teochew flavor.

Food is ok, but service is very bad. This old lady during dinner time, looks like Manager, very rude and shout at customers, they will ask you to go out to pay the bill even you are not leaving yet and they are not closing yet... I don't know what's the rush to ask everyone to pay first, and this is very bad impression for all the customers, everyone need to go out and pay when they were still eating. If you want customer to pay first, you should at least come to each table to collect our money or card, instead of ask all the customers to go out to cashier and pay. And they charge 10% serving fee while almost no service is provided.
