Kau Kee Restaurant

Top choice in Hong Kong


You can argue till the noodles go soggy about whether Kau Kee has the best beef brisket in town. Whatever the verdict, the meat – served with toothsome noodles in a fragrant beefy broth – is hard to beat. During the 90 years of the shop's existence, film stars and politicians have joined the queue for a table.

Besides regular brisket, you can order – and many of the locals do – the beef tendon (牛筋; ngau gun) served in a curry sauce. But know that the best cuts of meat are reserved for the classic dish.
