Mr. Wong’s

Mr. Wong’s has a reputation of being a hotspot for international students. You can tell that many local people don’t know of or care for this place because it has almost no reviews on OpenRice (at both its old location and its new one) despite being in a major area like Mongkok. But international students seem to love this place. I actually found out about it because many European students I met while studying abroad in HK told me about it.
The food here is typical Cantonese style food, and its known for having super cheap AYCE deals. You’ll see lots of international students and tourists here with piles of cheap food and beer. Like Vince H. said in a previous review, you’ll notice they tend to order more westernized food, but if you’re Chinese/​local you can still get food that are more authentic.
Mr. Wong is quite a character as well. He LOVES talking to people from other countries, and he often sits down and chats with tables of foreigners in between serving people. I think he likes any opportunity he can get to speak English with others. That wasn’t really the case with my party when we visited, since we ordered in Chinese, so he must have assumed we were locals.
There are rumors that this place is a front for triad money laundering, and I wouldn’t be surprised if those rumors were true, but you shouldn’t have anything to worry about for yourself. And hey, if you’re having a hard time with communication with restaurant staff (rude to you, no English menu, etc.), this is a very cheap way to get Chinese food without all that hassle.

You will agree that this is a secret gem for the expats in Hong Kong, especially those who are currently studying in Hong Kong or those who did and it is commonly known as Mr. Wong’s. However, I can guarantee you most locals have not heard of this place unless they had been with the expats or exchange students before.
This place has moved from a little alley between Yau Ma Tei to now between Olympic and Mongkok and that only makes it even more easily assessable and better. So what is so special about this place? It has to be $ 60 all-​you-​can-​eat and all-​you-​can-​drink deal. Yup, you heard me right. Just 60 dollars and you can have the best time of your local experience here chugging Tsing Tau and if you are lucky enough, Mr. Wong may just give you one of his secret batch of wine or vodka.
The funny thing about this place is they will serve you with authentic local Dai Pai Tong food if you are a local; yet if you are one of the expats, expect the Westernized Chinese food including the Chow Mien, spring rolls, fried dumplings, etc. The sanitary situation has much improved since the relocation; some may even miss the good old toilet there, now the toilet is located in the building next door on the second floor, this is a must-​know since you will end up drinking a lot.
Notice that the above may not apply to local diners, unless you are with bunch of expats and you can disguise yourself among them… Make sure you mingle with the famous Mr. Wong who had even run for an election in Hong Kong before, the friendliness and the hospitality of him is literally internationally well-​known. So, what are you waiting for. You just found yourself a perfect location for pre-​game before hitting Wanchai or LKF!
