Lau Sum Kee Noodle (Kweilin Street)

When in Hong Kong, you have to eat wonton noodles. There's no Michelin star here. But they get the Jeff H. best wonton noodles in Sham Shui Po award from me. We ordered wonton soup $44 ($5.64 USD), beef tendons noodles $44 ($5.64 USD) and wonton shrimp roe lo-mein $50 ($6.41.) These were delicious. Anthony Bourdain was right. Lau Sum Kee is the type of place with a line out the door and you have to eat with strangers at the same table. We had to slide over a few times. Get ready to literally rub elbows with strangers. The menu was in Chinese only and we had to translate to some Dutch tourists. The owner still makes his own noodles with a bamboo stick. That is so awesome.

Don’t expect it to be instagrammable. It’s a tiny shop— no more than 6 tables. Ordered the shrimp roe noodles with dumplings and beef tendon with brisket. So good!

My favourite noodle shop in HK, reasonable prices and great quality. I ordered the beef tendon noodle with drived shrimp roe. Flavours are rich without being too salty, and noodles are cooked to perfection. You can order a drink as part of a set, but they only serve bottled drinks as they don't have a drinks bar. The jar of pickled radish is a perfect appetiser and is sweet, sour and crunchy. You could potentially be seated with other people, and they require the table back quite quickly, so not really a place to chat.

The braised brisket lo mein was delicious, and the serving was large. I asked for thick noodle (like fettuccine). The braised brisket was perfectly cooked. It was melt in the mouth soft and tasty. I thought I could handle the shop's signature chilli sauce. I was wrong. It was super spicy; a little goes a long way. So take a little to see if you can handle it. The squid balls are highly recommended. It was crunchy, and there are small pieces of squid within it. I asked for a doggy bag to take thr leftover home. The server graciously gave me a bag. BTW, it is cash only; they don't accept Octopus card.

Blessed bowls! We saw the pics of the food here on google maps and we absolutely had to come. And it didn't disappoint. We ordered a fully loaded bowl from someone else's pic on here haha. Absolutely perfectly firm noodles and savoury shrimp-y broth, with insanely good toppings. The mushrooms are so savoury, the beef is so soft yet still has bite, the greens still have some fresh crunch, and the shrimp wanton are tasty as heck. Staff was really nice too!

Pretty average wtm but dumplings were fresh and filled with ingredients. Also quite generous with 5 dumplings.

Wonton noodle is ok. Service is bad. Once again to me that we should count too much on Chua Lan's recommendation.

It's our first visit to this popular noodle shop. We enjoy the noodle so much. Reasonable price. Free marinated redish serve on the table. Customer services can be uplifted.
