When choosing a restaurant, check whether the menu shows prices and the service charge, whether you need to book, and whether there are vegetarian or children's options. Restaurants must hold a licence from the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department, usually displayed inside. Lunar New Year, Mother's Day, Christmas and New Year's Eve are peak booking times, and some restaurants offer set menus or add a surcharge on festive days, so ask ahead. Spice levels at Thai, Vietnamese and other Asian restaurants can usually be adjusted, so say so when ordering.

Opening hours: daily, 12:00–22:00. It opens every day of the week. Many small businesses close for a few days around Lunar New Year and may shut early or not open during typhoons and black rainstorms, so check the latest news before you set off. Phone: 2613 8099. Hong Kong numbers have eight digits; from abroad, dial +852 first.

Mong Kok is part of the Yau Tsim Mong District in Kowloon. Around Kwun Tong and Kowloon Bay many industrial buildings now house offices, restaurants, gyms and studios, while Kai Tak is a newer district. Kowloon's streets are busiest in the evening and at weekends, shops keep long hours with many open until about 22:00, and the Kwun Tong, Tsuen Wan and Tuen Ma lines plus buses and minibuses reach almost everywhere. Mong Kok is one of Hong Kong's busiest shopping districts: Tung Choi Street (the Ladies' Market) and Fa Yuen Street (Sneakers Street) are lined with small shops, and the buildings along Nathan Road hold countless upstairs shops.

Long line ups even during weekday lunches. Very tight side walk so the line cuts off and then continues backwards on the other edge of sidewalk. Wait was not too long. Pad kra pow - bit salty. On the spicier side. Could use more holy basil leaves. Overall tastey. Pad thai - really good wok hei. Needs more tamarind tartness. Oily - can see the oil after eating. Water spinach - good to see the fermented beans. Many places don't use it. Very good flavor. Again more on the spicier side than other restaurants.

Many people recommend here as they told very Thai style but it seems more they modify to match to local style. Pad Thai = taste is very so so and it has only 3 pcs small prawn ?? Papaya salad = very spicy and recommend it Fish cake = nothing special Their signature 火山排骨 = it is not really warm enough while they serve, I agree it is ribs bone as not much meat and taste only come from the sauce Staffs are sweet and also good they don’t set time limit. Price vs quality = it is ok but you are not missing any if you didn’t come here.

Saw a long line for the restaurant so I decided to try. I don’t understand where is the hype coming from. The food is really average. The pad Thai, noodle are super hard and not much taste? The minced pork rice with egg is so salty….. The only dish we like or think is normal is the vegetables Will not be back

Warning: This restaurant focuses on Northern Thai. I ordered Tom Yum Goong, Morning Glory, and Chicken Skewer at 3-4ish pm, on a non-busy day, foods took awhile to arrive. Was craving for Thai food during HK trip, but we ended up dissatisfied. Northern Thai is so different than Southern Thai. 1) Tom Yum Goong was "way too sweet" for our taste; "Sweet and Sour" apparently were the focal point in this dish (was expecting more aroma like lemongrass and lemon leaf, but all absent). 2) Morning Glory was more "tastier than the rest of the meals", but without the "wow" moment (I had to add fish sauce to light it up) 3) Chicken Skewer was normal

My favorite Thai restaurant. The line might intimate you at first but when you get your food, the wait was so worth it. Everyone I bring to this restaurant loves it. If you want authentic Thai food go here. Top 3 best food here is the Curry chicken noodle , sea bass or the salted fish,and the morning glory
