Hop See Restaurant is a no-frills, no-fuss Chinese restaurant in Hang Hau Village that has passed the acid test – it has remained popular enough with locals to operate for over 20 years from its same Tseung Kwan O location. The focus at Hop See Restaurant is therefore not on flashy signage or catchy marketing – visitors to the New Territories from around Hong Kong may not spot it just by walking down the street – but head in and settle in for a cheap, authentic Chinese meal and you’ll see that the focus is where it should be, on the food. A huge range of noodle and rice dishes are whipped up here, with anything from spicy tofu and roast pork to sour vegetables, cuttlefish and poached egg making an appearance. You know this is a place where you’re getting the real deal – just reserve a table so they know you’re coming, because otherwise you may be muscling out local stalwarts for a spot.
