Wing Lee Beef Brisket of Soup

Food (***** out of *****); This place is even better than the legendary
Kau Kee Restaurant (九記牛腩). Be sure to ask for the better cuts of beef for 2HKD more. The beef brisket noodles here is buttery soft and served with real savory soup that you can drink instead of the usual soy sauce water with MSG. The noodles are possibly handmade in the shop because it is neither al dente nor soggy. It is very springy in the mouth. It is ridiculously cheap, only 38HKD for the beef brisket noodle with a drink (hot milk tea, cold milk tea, or honey lemon).
Atmosphere (*** out of *****); Typical Spartan Hong Kong mom and pop restaurant. What sets it apart is that this place is very clean.
Service (*** out of *****); Typical budget Hong Kong restaurant service with only one waitress for an entire restaurant serving 14 or more people. Bless her heart, this place can get really packed during peak hours, but that gal still manages to get your food out quick while everything is still hot. She doesn’t check on you during your meal like in a Western restaurant, though. However, the restaurant is really small, so just flag her down if you need anything. She keeps a careful watch over all her diners on her little stool in the corner by the door.
Conclusion (***** out of *****); The tally is 4 stars but I added an extra star for value because it is so ridiculously cheap. The beef brisket noodle is amazing here and it is worth the commute across Hong Kong harbor to Ma On Shan for this. Bön apetit ;0)
P. S. They don’t speak English and have no English menus so memorize these phrases before you go, ««shong nam meen» (beef noodles), «ho fay shong nam» (with the fattiest portion of the beef), «mm goy» (thank you). Then, order your drink, «yeet nai cha» (hot milk tea), «don nai cha» (cold milk tea), or «yeet lin mut» (hot honey lemon).
P. P. S. At first I thought that there is only one waitress here, but actually, there’s two waitresses. They’re twin sisters. That’s why the service is so fast, even though the restaurant is always packed. However, there’s never a line, though. Also, the sisters are very customer service oriented and accommodating. I had a bunch of shopping bags and didn’t want to set them on the floor, so she gave me an extra chair and helped me prop up my bags against the wall on the chair. The father cooks in the back and his two twin daughters work the front. Very sweet ladies. Very tasty beef brisket. Be sure to try the daikon in beef brisket soup, too. Very soft and flavorful.
