Supposedly a Michelin guide restaurant so we went in to try their sets and ordered additional dishes with fresh seafood picked from tanks. First two dishes, the lobster and abalone came quickly but after that, it took an hour for each dish to come up. With one dish served to next table then the server took it back and just moved it to our table. Given it’s covid period, we objected and she begrudgingly took it away but I am sure they just did a simple tossed and brought it back.

It was a terrible experience and similar experience for several of the other tables. I would never visit this place again and not recommend this place to anyone.

Went for the dim sum. Best in sai Kung for dim sum. The food was fresh and tasty. It’s a typical no frills dim sum place, quick in and out and with the customary rude hk service. We asked the lady for chilli sauce and she just said ‘no’ and walked off. Don’t know what hk people have against giving you sauce when you ask lol.

The menu was not in English but after a while trying to order in canto they brought a picture one.

It gets very busy be prepared to get a ticket and wait but the restaurant is absolutely massive so you won’t have to wait for long.

Good food, good price - will go again next time we’re in sai Kung

One of the larger sea food restaurants in Sai Kung. Lot of choices, and the food is reasonably good if you know what to order. Cheap set meals available in the midst of a depressed market, but quality of seafood will not be the best of course. Selecting fresh seafood offers much better fare but it can get expensive. Need to know what you are doing as sometimes they pressure you to take the more expensive stuff. During the pandemic, I am happy to say that bathroom hygiene has improved significantly. We went early in the evening and was able to get a table on a small balcony overseeing the sea (on the 2nd floor), which was nice since we got an unobstructed view of the harbor. We ordered Australian lobster (okay), geoduck (more expensive but excellent) and some clams. Total came to $1800 but we were stuffed. Overall a pretty good experience

The choice is vast, the seafood is lovely, the service is perfect and friendly, the cook is excellent.
Chuen Kee Seafood Restaurant is far away from too many pretentious Hong Kong Island restaurants.
Do not come here to show off but to enjoy succulent clams or another giant mantis shrimps in a good mood atmosphere.
