We followed recommendation from friends and found this restaurant behind other stores. The food was great and worth the extra effort to find it. We definitely will become a regular, because the only two dishes we had were exemplary and excellent: house special fillet beef chunks with black pepper and crispy peas, seafood and tofu in clay pot

Most of thebfood we ordered taste good. Some taste likes lots of MSGs.The service is terrible if it is around busy time. Nobody cares anything anymore after taking your order. Got our last dish of noodles almost when we finished everything else after asking them few times. Waiting forever to checkout.Food is pretty pricy. >$80+tips for 2 people, without much leftovers or sea food orders.Do not recommend dining in during lunch time or dinner time, especially during weekends.

Not real Hong Kong taste... The beauty is not in line with the taste of Hong Kong people, and it is not similar at all. It is okay to lie to ghosts, but it is not easy to use Hong Kong Li as the name of the restaurant.

The dinner last night was super luxurious, the service was super good, and the boss was generous and generous. I will definitely choose it next time when customers come. It has a private room. I have an Indian friend who is a vegetarian and he actually takes good care of me. He specifically explains how to do it.

2/27/24 - I went in there at noon. No one was there. My first time there. Plenty of sitting in there with large tables. Customer service was exceptional. I ordered the lunch special for the Pan Fried Noodle with seafood and a dim sum Pork Siu Mai. Both were very excellent. Lunch came with a tea. I will come here again. Very flavorful food and big portions. They also gave me a hot bowl of like rice soup at the end for free. Wonderful food and great experience. I will bring more people with me next time. Check out the photos.

Attempted to eat here last week on the strength of the good reviews and excellent looking food. Arrived on a Friday afternoon shortly after they opened, so we were the first customers in the door (party of 2). No one was at the host stand, so we stood there for 5 minutes or so before someone noticed and sat us. We were then ignored by the staff for another 20 minutes while another party came in, was sat, and served some tea. Someone who might have been a waiter eventually came out, but then she ignored us as well to go take a to-go order from someone at the door. By then it had been nearly 30 minutes with zero service or interaction so we left.

First time coming here. Service was excellent. Staff was very friendly and attentive, especially to the kids when they were ordering. We had a large party. The owners came and thanked us for coming and had a drink with us. Just a heads up, Parking in this whole area is tight. Large vehicles will have a tough time.
Very delicious, authentic Hong Kong style Chinese cuisine. Plan ahead and allow sufficient time to find a parking spot this is a popular eatery!

The lamb clay pot is tasty and I have never been disappointed, also good are the fried flat noodles; be sure to go either at noon or in the evening, since they are closed in the early afternoon.

[UPDATE] BAIT-AND-SWITCH CONFIRMED!!! RESTAURANT LIED TO CHARGE US DOUBLE THE PRICE!!! After comparing photos posted by other customers, I am certain the restaurant acted maliciously to serve us the wrong dish in an attempt to pass it off as a higher-priced one (almost 2x the price). Customers beware! Didn't want to leave a review, but after seeing the owner's shameless response to another comment, I feel obliged to share our rotten experience. We went on Lunar New Year's Eve and this is by far the decision I regret most in 2024. The Peking Duck is FUNDAMENTALLY, MONUMENTALLY, OUTRAGEOUSLY wrong. As seen in the comment above, the owner defended the dish by saying "it's Cantonese Peking Duck" and that "all Cantonese restaurants use this way." Did that make even the slightest sense in your head before you spurted this BS out? The menu literally says "Peking sliced duck" and you have the audacity to say it's not sliced because "Cantonese Peking duck"? Do you need a dictionary? Peking duck is Peking duck, period. It's just one version. Come up with a better rebuttal if you wish to defend your tragically incompetent chef. You may be able to cheat foreigners, but as someone who grew up in Asia, better than you have tried. The Nobel Chef (豪記) and Eastern Dynasty (粵品) are both Cantonese restaurants, and this is what their Peking duck looks like. If you can't see the difference, either you are lying through your teeth or you need to see an optometrist. What was presented to us was obviously a poorly prepared, extremely oily Hong Kong style roast duck, a different dish shown on the menu. The restaurant likely just gave us the wrong dish because they ran out and lied to cash in on the higher price. There are usually "two eats", meaning if you order the Peking duck, there will be two dishes given. One is the Peking duck: thinly sliced duck (mainly crispy skin with little meat with wrap and green onions, and the actual duck meat stir fried. The server told us they were only offering "one eat", which reaffirms my suspicion. Some other table got the "actual" Peking duck and we got the leftover dish. There's a reason Eastern Dynasty was fully booked and Nobel Chef simply pulled the plug on their phone on Chinese New Year's Eve, whereas this restaurant was still taking reservations. You are the third choice, which is perfectly justified. SHAME ON YOU!

It was the worst experience I've had with Cantonese restaurants in San Diego. The food was extremely oily and the Peking Duck we ordered was not authentic. They gave us a standard Cantonese roast duck but charged us the price of Peking Duck. I asked the manager about it and was told that it was a Peking Duck, which was insulting, as if I didn't know what a Peking Duck should look like. Needless to point out, go check other reviews. The steam fish was also bad; you could tell it was not fresh, barely warmed, like pre-steamed, and they just kept it warm inside the kitchen. Please go to Dynasty or Nobel Chef if you want good Chinese/Cantonese food. And please don't use Hong Kong in your name, because nothing is authentic and it's misleading.

My friends and I came here for dinner this weekend. They offered great food and services. Taste is traditionally Hong Kong flavor. Seafood is really tasty and fresh. I love the lobster dish so much! We'll be back for sure! Highly recommended!
