"Hong Kong is well known for its "cha chaan teng" style cafes that serve quick meals and "tea time" snacks. The new-school, creative face of Wanchai mixes with the old in the form of this lovely, but very no frills neighbourhood cha chaan teng. Over lunch hour diners fill the street on plastic tables enjoying classic local comfort food and above average milk tea. While Tak Yu is more expensive than most other cha chaan tengs, it is one of the few restaurants on Hong Kong Island that still has a food stall license. Weekday lunch hour (1–2PM for most office workers) gets pretty busy, so aim for off-peak hour visit, especially in hot weather." - Isabel Foo
