We went in the morning for Yum Tah during chinese new year. This is where family meet up for dim sum. It gets VERY busy! But the dim sum was tasty. I'm not sure how well westerners would like this place, as its pretty traditional. you get a bowl of hot water to wash your own dishes in and things. Although the plates were all clean, and this may be a cultural thing!

I'd be happy to go back again and try the fish as they have a HUGE range of fresh fish!

Chuen Kee Seafood Restaurant is one of the two large establishments along the Sai Kung Promenade, along with Hung Kee Seafood Restaurant. There are several others in the area to choose from but this is one of the two big boys with large outdoor dining area and loads of tables, usually quite full.

As other posters have commented, you are first seated then taken to the large tank area to select which fresh seafood you want. The restaurant is quite distinguishable not only because of the large neon fish sign which also reads Chuen Kee Seafood Restaurant but also because of the very large fish tanks you can see in front of the restaurant. As staff speak very little (or not) English it can be a bit difficult ordering if you are not with a Cantonese speaker.

For those interested in this type of dining experience, it is worth nothing that the Sai Kung seafood scene has a long standing reputation of being very expensive compared to other Seafood Restaurant hot spots in Hong Kong like Lamma Island or even many Seafood restaurants located in the city. Also, there have long been rumors of ingredient (and even seafood) switching, tiered pricing for locals and visitors and bouts of poor food quality at some of these restaurants. We have had better luck with Chuen Kee than others on the promenade but its still worth checking the local food review website, called open.rice to read up on the various restaurants serving seafood in Sai Kung before making your decision which to try.

Chuen Kee Seafood Restaurant is past Hung Kee Seafood Restaurant if you are walking along the Sai Kung Promenade away from the main piers and bus depot area.

If you like seafood, Chuen Kee is the restaurant to go to. Seafood is fresh, you can select your own seafood and they will cook for you to your liking. Weekends and public holidays very busy. I don't like going there on weekends and public holidays because you won't have peace of mind eating!! Once they served your last dish, they will immediately put the bill on your table so that you can hurry up pay as the next customers is standing next to you waiting for you to go.
I like going there but I don't like to be push when am enjoying my seafood. Most people don't mind that, but for me I hate to eat and run!!!
Also if you are not locals, you will be charge you arms and legs on all the seafood. It's a tourist trap, if you are happy to pay and like the taste, so why not just enjoy it!!

This restaurant is a tourist trap. Like many of the restaurants on Sai Kung water front they show you to your table and tell you everything is market price and you need to then go outside and select you seafood which they will weigh for you and then price. This is very expensive and you'll see a couple of average sized crabs cost over 700 hkd. Wouldn't have a problem with this if the quality was good which it isn't. This restaurant really crams people in and the staff speak very little English and only seem interested in turning tables as quickly as possible. The gents room here too was a mess, overall shocking value.

I was there for the first time, could not decide what to order so chose the set menu for two persons instead. The choice was right and the portion is good (2 pcs each for one person), 4 choices of seafood and a dessert for only hkd388. It's really value for money cuz you need to pay double in HK island for this kind of seafood. It was a weekend getaway for us so it is a good environment away from the city.
