Tak Hing Restaurant

Food (**** out of *****); Fish ball flat rice noodle soup has the best quality fish balls. The chef really spent a lot of time, skill, and effort making the fish balls springy, airy, and they just literally bounce in your mouth. These would be the best fish balls flat rice noodle soup in the world except that the fish balls are a bit too salty and the broth is bland, almost flavorless. I would give it one star, except it feels wrong to do so to a restaurant that makes such high quality fish balls. If your palette enjoys salty food, then put a dash of salt in the broth so that it matches the fish balls and you will think that this is the best fish ball flat rice noodle soup in the world. Otherwise, I would only recommend that you come here if you’re in the neighborhood. It’s not worth crossing the harbor for it.
Atmosphere (*** out of *****); Typical Hong Kong Tea restaurant with simple booths and spartan décor.
Service (*** out of *****); You pay and place your order at the cashier and the cashier gives you a receipt. You drop off your receipt with the chef at the open kitchen and when they call your number, you pick up your food from the chef. there are no waiters. There is no English menu. just say, «Yu dahm fun,» pay your 28HKD, then stand right there at the open kitchen to await your meal because if you don’t know Chinese, then you won’t know when they call your number.
Conclusion (**** out of *****); The tally is 3 stars, but I gave it an extra star for value because it is so inexpensive. If you don’t like salty food, then the tally is only 3 stars.
