Best KPortal Reviews

I ordered stir fried hor fun with beef and a hot milk tea. The food was great! It tasted just like what they serve in Hong Kong cha chaan teng. Tbh it was even better than some chain restaurants like Cafe 100%. Usually I can't finish a whole dish of stir fried hor fun with beef because of its oily taste, and I always leave the onions and bean sprouts on the side. However this time I finished the whole dish ngl!!!
The ppl were very nice too, and the siu yuk shown in the photo was on the house! I will definitely come again xx
I saw a lot of positive google reviews before our visit, so I was probably overestimating the restaurant.
I liked the spring rolls but the noodle was slightly tasteless for me.
The service was okay, just I didn’t enjoy the loud conversation of restaurant staff complaining about the other customers. I guess the restaurant has a lot of room for improvement interior, atmosphere etc…
This shop serves original recipe of Hong Kong Style Cantonese food in 70s. It's authentic and has some differences in what Hong Kong food are being served right now. If you want to try the wonderful Hong Kong style dishes, this will be the perfect place in York.
Good if you are craving hong kong food, owners are very very nice, it is just not my taste tho, not what I expected to taste like, but the fried rice from the next table looks and smells so good, maybe i will get some fried rice next time instead!
One of the best and authentic cha chaan teng in the U.K.! Stir fry beef udon (as rice noodle sold out), fried tofu with salt and pepper, sweet and sour chicken rice are really nice. However the French toast is only made by one slice of bread and no peanut butter inside, would be much better if they put too slices of bread with peanut butter as it’s what it should be in Hong Kong! Milk tea is good but I prefer a stronger tea flavour. Recommended this restaurant!
Definitely a highlight of our trip. The best HK tea restaurant we had in UK, very authentic Cantonese dishes hardly found in anywhere else, and is SUPER dog friendly! We had a good time (especially Domi the puppy who got loads of loves and treats & toy in there)
The famous Hong Kong restaurant in York. Situated next to the York minster for about 3minutes, it’s in a good location when you finish off touring York city and looking for food afterwards.
Very friendly staff, cozy atmosphere, food are amazing. Hong Kong Barbecues are the highlights but there are more to try.
Authentic hong kong style restaurant. Loved the beef chow fun and milk tea here. A must-go spot in York!
