Without a doubt, this is the best Char Siew that I've ever eaten. The meat was so succulent and sweet, it literally melted in my mouth.

Quite possibly the best melt-in-your-mouth char siu I've ever had. Just two tiny tables, you're in and out in 10 minutes, but boy it's worth the trek.

It literally melted in my mouth with the perfect amount of sweetness and smoky aroma. Made from pigs reared in New Territories with specialty rose syrup.

This is the working man's lunch in Central. They built their rep the good honest way, affordable with quality. The char siu gets damn good char.
