生記飯店

When people say you have to taste the food to understand why it’s so good. This is 101% that type of restaurant. Words are not enough to explain the incredible flavours of how each dish is delicate yet full of feeling. If we were in HKG longer we would come again … and again! We walked 30 mins to get here and it was well worth the walk. By the time we got back to our hotel we wanted more! The staff are very efficient and friendly. Recommendations of dishes are made with great knowledge. The attention paid to our table was precise and attentive from the start all the way to the end. This is a restaurant that deserves more than Michelin recommendations. It deserves a star.

Seng Kee may be tucked inside a commercial building without much glamour, but it truly surprised me in the best way. I’d heard good things from friends, so I decided to visit for a Saturday night dinner when I was craving proper traditional Chinese food. The menu is full of authentic Hong Kong Cantonese dishes, and clearly I wasn’t the only one who knew about it – even with a reservation at 7:30, we still waited around 10 minutes because it was completely packed. The reception team was generally fine, but the real highlight was the staff who served us. They were friendly, attentive, and genuinely tried their best to make sure everything went smoothly. Our dishes arrived sizzling hot straight from the kitchen, and every single one tasted amazing. It’s the kind of comforting, flavourful food that reminds you why Cantonese cuisine is so special. I’d definitely come back again, especially with a bigger group of friends or family so we can try even more dishes. A solid 5‑star experience.

It's one of my favorite restaurants in Hong Kong—a true gem! They specialize in traditional Cantonese dishes and consistently deliver high-quality meals. Our usual favorites include 炸蟹鉗 (fried crab claws), 豬膶枸杞湯 (pig liver and goji berry soup), 泥鯭粥 (mudfish congee) and 豉油王炒麵 (soy sauce king stir-fried noodles). We recently tried 琵琶鴨（roasted duck）and it was absolutely delicious. Just a heads up: some dishes require pre-ordering, so be sure to do that if you don't want to miss out on these drool-worthy options! 5/5!

Great service, but you’ll need to make reservations. This is an institution that used to be behind the Southorn Playground in Wanchai. Highlights were the : 砵仔焗魚腸 - fragrant tangerine peel, tender fish intestines and liver, custard-like egg, so full of flavour 蝦子柚皮 - not an easy dish to make and takes a lot of time. Pomelo skin needs to be soaked for a long while to remove the bitter taste and 生記 certainly did so. The braising liquid was totally absorbed into the sponge-like pomelo skin, and the prawn roe added the brininess that many Cantonese love. 燒腩仔 - Crispy skin, meat was a good balance between fat and lean. No feeling of oiliness. Flavours were aromatic with hints of five spice, yet not overly salted. 小炒王 - a melting pot stir-fried dish of dried cuttlefish, dried prawns, cashew nuts, Chinese chives, chillies. Many places do this well but this one was elevated with so much more ooomph in flavour and smokiness. 蜆蚧牛肉煲 - never had a dish that combined the heavily fermented clams and beef. In the sizzling claypot, along with the ginger slices and spring onions, it was a true and true Cantonese dish with nostalgic Cantonese flavours from the past. Great place to eat and wil
