Taste of Hong Kong

Nelson Street's been quietly brilliant for a few years now, and Taste of Hong Kong is why you should stop sleeping on it. Walk in and you're met with the genuine article—steaming baskets of dim sum, the sound of woks clattering in the open kitchen, proper Chinese families at the tables next to you. The kitchen takes no shortcuts; you can taste it in every dumpling, every perfectly executed stir-fry. It's the kind of place where they care more about getting the food right than making the room look Instagram-ready, and that's exactly why it works. At those prices, you're getting serious value for something this competent.
