    I usually skip on Shanghai crab, this place was really enjoyable. The waitress who took our order also did my crab for me. This alone gives it 5 stars because it’s such a fiddy thing to do. Bring your own bottle is fine. We had the set menu which gives you one crab and then crabs done in a few ways.

    The food and service were excellent. The portions were small for the price point, but everything we ordered was well executed and tasted delicious, except for the hairy crabs. This was my first time trying hairy crab, and I wasn't impressed. It was very expensive for the tiny crab and the meat didn't have much flavor.

    Nice chineses restaurant located underground. You can find the small entrance on the ground floor. Food is good but the price is expensive. Fried rice and grilled duck are delicious. Staff can speak english a little, so it somewhat hard to communicate. Overall it is ok, the food is good but a bit expensive.

    A very traditional Shanghai cuisine, with new decor for a better look. It's more comfortable than used to be. We order their signature dish, the drunk pigeon, stir fry eel, green onion pancake, taro moose pancakes for dessert is a must. Highly recommend for the Shanghai cuisine fans.

    Both food and service are pretty good. Just that the ceiling is low and you may feel a bit noisy if you use the private room.

    Sooooo good. Stir fried pea shoots were tender and fresh. Service attentive and warm (which is very rare in HK)

    Shanghai food. Came for family dinner. The food was amazing . Nice staff and not too crowded at dinner. It's just next to I-SQUARE, on the leftside is Nathan Road, Chungking Mansion, on the brightside International supermarket or Jollibee area . It is at Mtr Tsim Tsa Tsui exit H, R, or C1.

    Nice to go there during the hairy crab season. But the restaurant is located at the basement of a small building, accessible only by stairs, no escalator or elevator.

  • 5/5 s y. 3 years ago on Google
    They have a seasonal set menu for Shanghai crab lovers now, cannot be missed. Items on the a la carte menu is same amazing. Price is very reasonable and friendly service.

    Been their fan for almost ten years. Not cheap but reliable. Hairy crab set at autumn must try

  • 3/5 Wan-man W. 4 years ago on Google
    A famous Shanghainese restaurant in Tsimshatsui. Recently its business is seriously hit by the current Hong Kong situationa as you are surpised that you can get a table without reservation. Foods are good and value for money.

  • 5/5 Siri K. 1 year ago on Google
    We tried several dishes this time, and all are very good. 1. fresh & salted pork with bamboo shoot soup and bean curd sheets - very savory and tasty 2. Scallion pancake - more creative than the traditional ones, somehow like a waffle 3. Chilled crystal ham - very authentic 4. Crab meat - expensive, but it deserves a try It's better to make a reservation by phone or on Openrice. We waited for 30min to be seated, even on a normal weekday nights. Btw, the entrance is opposite to iSquare instead of on the Nathan Rd.

  • 3/5 Jude S M. 1 year ago on Google
    Had a very long wait to get seated for our table even though we had booked it in advance. Food quality was quite good and so was the service. Just not enough vegetarian choices.

  • 4/5 Alex K. 1 year ago on Google
    Wu Kong is a very old restaurant, around for maybe 50 years. We visited it on a rainy August day, and I was not in the least disappointed with their Xiao Long Bao. The dough was thin and taught, the filling plentiful. Only drawback would be on the richness of the filling, as these were on the lighter side of flavour. Even considering the price point ($78 for 4) , these deserve an easy 4/5. The staff are very attentive and seemed to at the very least find some amusement in me ordering 6 baskets in a row :)

    Quality old skool Shanghainese restaurant with all the classics done consistently well, albeit at slightly premium prices.

    Solid quality of food ! Service is quick .

  • 4/5 Bren L. 3 years ago on Google
    Had afternoon tea here and earlier reviewers were correct to say you can miss the place. It is more on Peking than on Nathan Road. There is tea set with only a Chinese menu. Luckily I had a translation app to figure out what to order. As always if you can't read Chinese, you would pay the higher prices to order off the regular menu that is in English. The afternoon tea set was $58 with no service charge. The meal was big enough for one to skip dinner if you have late tea. Food is good but service could be a bit better. Seems everyone is too addicted to their phones to worry about customer service these days.
