Cafe de Coral

«Fast food» joint in the airport, before you go through customs, so everyone can enjoy the food here. As expected, the food here is more expensive than typical Café de Corals around the city, but it is a better deal than most of the other food offered in the airport.
There was a very short line-​up when we got there at around 8am. There weren’t a lot of free seats, but in general, customers were able to find seats when they arrived. Tables were cleaned quickly and well, so that was a definitely good plus.
It is $ 10 for a milk tea and lemon tea and other typical hot drinks. A cappuccino is $ 20 and a steamed lotus leaf wrapped rice meal set is around $ 40. Food quality is decent, although the variety is definitely lacking. Their meal choices are also very simple, for example, offering only hard-​boiled eggs, instead of any fried eggs in their breakfast meal sets.

The McDonalds of Chinese fast food, you see one of these every other block in Hong Kong. They usually have pics of the food and some even have English. A reliable place to eat if you don’t know where to go. Food are standard, fast and cheap.

A fast food restaurant chain in Hong Kong, self serve style, good value for a quick bite.

Line was super long, so had the impression that my food was going to be spectacular. Although the prices were relatively low (airport standards), the taste of the dish was not up to par. Just by looking at what I was served, you can tell most of them were probably microwave dinners that just got heated up. The taste wasn’t that great either, but I’d much rather eat what I got than 100HKD stir fry.
Milk tea made up for it though!

Café de Coral is a HK fast food chain. This location is busy, with long lines, but it moves pretty quickly.
— Minced beef and egg with rice: 4 stars. Really liked this. The egg yolk was nice and runny.
— Baked pork chop with rice: 3 stars. comes with a tomato-​based sauce with onions, peas, and pineapple. There’s a small amount of scrambled egg in the rice too. The sauce is a little too sweet for my liking, though. And the breading on the pork chop was soggy.
The dishes come with a drink. I got the mango sago (a mango drink with little mango bits and tiny tapioca), which was good! And their milk tea was a bit on the too sweet side but otherwise good too. You can get the milk tea either iced or hot.

Super fast, clean, and affordable cha chaan teng, cantonese style food.
They have a large variety of food options here and change constantly throughout the day when they run out of stuff.
They have anything from cha siu fan, won ton mien, jook, etc.
Pay at the counter and they will call your # when your order is ready. Silverware is self — serve. Not a bad place to go to grab a bite before your flight if you are in a time crunch as orders come out in 5 min or less.

For a chain store, they have surprisingly good bouncy shrimp wonton with bouncy noodles. They are not as good as Tsim Chai Kee or Mak’s Noodles, but they are much better than many other places. The place is clean and your food is ready in only one or two minutes, so you will not miss your flight. This is your chance to get your last taste of real Chinese food before you go back overseas if you’re a visitor to Hong Kong. As an added bonus, it is very cheap, only 35 HKD for the shrimp wonton noodle soup. I also had a hot milk tea for an extra 10 HKD. It is self-​service at the counter like McDonald’s.

Asian McDonalds with super long lines. I thought the glutinous rice was pretty good, but the porridge didn’t have enough toppings and was not a fan of the tea.
$ 6 for a combo set of porridge, glutinous rice, and tea.

Long lines, Not enough tables, absolutly awful milk tea, over salted soup, and they got our order wrong. Avoid.

Pretty good spot to get fast food dinner of Chinese BBQ meats at the airport.

Came here for dinner, Oct ’14. I had a flight to catch and didn’t have a lot of time to spare.
Café de Coral is a fast food chain in Hong Kong. For those unfamiliar, the food offered is mostly Cantonese or Hong Kong Café type dishes. For lack of better term, I can only describe it as western dishes made for the preference of local Hong Kong.
Prices are generally quite affordable and comparable to western fast food chains. My meal here that entailed a combo set with of roast goose and chicken, plus a side of hot milk tea cost approx HK$ 70, or right under US$ 9.
I find that the quality of cooking varies a lot. I think their breakfast items can be lacking. The savory lunch and dinner items tend be something I enjoy more often, particularly if Chinese BBQ meats are offered. I live in the US where roast goose isn’t something I ever see in restaurants, so being able to sample this delicacy is a real treat. Café de Coral at the Hong Kong airport offers a last chance to enjoy this, should I have missed my chance to try it like I did my last visit. I’ll get into more detail with what I had.
The one lousy thing is that this place tends to run out of items later into the evening. When I visited between 8 and 9, half the items on the menu where out. Thank goodness there was an entire roast goose hung on display!
combo set of a side of roast goose breast, soy sauce marinaded roast chicken breast, cooked greens on oyster sauce, white rice, and a side of hot milk tea cost approx HK$ 70, or right under US$ 9. (Dish rating 60%)
— This is not really the menu description. I just made it up to approximate what I ordered. Apologies for the lack of photo. Note that the duck and chicken are bone-​in. Not unlike the traditional preparation, the meat is closer to well done, although the meat remains fairly juicy.
— The goose and chicken were pretty good despite some shortcomings. Unlike some stingier eateries, I found there was more meat than bone and other inedible bits.
— If you’ve never had goose before, the best way I can describe it is that its like duck. However, my subjective impression is that its fattier and richer. The fat itself has a bolder, almost sweet flavor. What was served here was bone-​in, with the skin on. There’s a good amount of fat right under the skin. Its the best part because the flavor derives mostly from the fat. The protein is unmistakably goose instead of just texture.
— Since the goose was cooked all the way through, sadly the was not much hint of blood towards the end like you would a medium rare or rare duck breast prepared that you might find in say French cuisine. Im not complaining, just describing the approach. It didn’t seem overcooked and it wasn’t dry.
— Temperature of the proteins is off. The goose and chicken served was close to lukewarm. There would have been a good difference if were hot instead.
— Soy marinaded chicken was also quite well done despite the poor temperature. I found the chicken breast to be tender enough and the flavor of the protein discernible. There was a pleasant notable sweetness and more restrained saltiness from the soy. The skin provided much welcome fattiness.
— The greens, probably a cabbage of sorts that was slow cooked, and topped with a sweet oyster sauce wasn’t bad. The temperature of this was nicely hot. The oyster sauce only a tad over applied yet not overpowering the greens. It was surprisingly simple yet delicious.
— The white rice was a tad on the dry side although it wasn’t too far off. I think its fine for fast food.
Overall this was a solid fast food dinner. Its unfortunate that one can’t get a better fast food hamburger in Hong Kong like I might get in the US with Shake Shack, In N Out, and 5 Guys (or just a good burger at any price point). Nonetheless, I think this more than makes up for it. I’m not embarrassed to admit wish I had a Café de Coral at LAX.
Value is good. I can’t complain for the price I paid. I think its dirt cheap for the generous amount of roast meats I had. If I didn’t have to deal with the possibility of indigestion along with a 13 hour flight, I’d order the whole goose.
Service is okay. The counter person seemed a bit brusque and impatient, but was efficient. I actually just asked for roast goose but he mistook me for the combo meal, which wasn’t a bad choice in the end.
Ambiance is fine for fast food. The space is clean enough even though lacking in character. I do like the fact that its tucked away in its corner and offers a bit more seclusion than many of the other airport restaurants.
Definitely stop by if you feel the need for quick and affordable roast goose fix at the airport. Jade Garden may offer a more capable version should one have the luxury of more free time and be willing to spend more.

Cheap fast food, very popular for its convenience. Typically has long lines, but they move quickly.
A1 COMBO.
It is a simple breakfast combination meal of scrambled eggs, a sweet bun, coffee, and some sad macaroni in broth. Not a whole lot of flavor going on here.
Good if you’re on a budget or in a hurry, but not fantastic, taste wise.
