Hong Kong Food - Best Wonton Noodles in Hong Kong - Shek Kee - Asia Travel Gems
Hong Kong Food – Best Wonton Noodles in Hong Kong – Shek Kee
Forget Mak’s Noodles! And all the others. There is only one authentic and Best Wonton Noodles in Hong Kong, and that is Shek Kee! Really really good Hong Kong Food!
I enjoyed a good bowl of wonton noodles since young. So, whenever I visit Hong Kong, I must have at least one bowl of wonton noodles, at least once in a trip. Without fail.
This time round, I did extensive research to find where has the best wonton noodles, or so they claimed. And I discovered this hidden gem – Shek Kee Wonton Noodles!
Tip: When you are in Hong Kong, you Must Try this!

Finding Shek Kee Wonton Noodles
When we first arrived during this trip, we met up and had lunch with our friend in Hong Kong. When we told her we planned to have dinner at Shek Kee, she was surprised we knew of the place.
She gushed that they have the best dumplings in Hong Kong! Shek Kee is a favorite among the locals, and she would even patronize the eating place at least three times a week!
With that personal review, we were convinced that we must try Shek Kee Wonton Noodles. After some shopping and sightseeing, we started to search for Shek Kee.
It was quite easy to find the eating place. Just follow Google Maps. More information in the How to Get There section below.
Shek Kee Wonton Noodles
We must have arrived a little earlier then dinner time. The place was not crowded. As such, we were able to get a table easily.
Shek Kee is one of the typical local eating places. It is not a cafe or 5 star restaurant. So do not expect superb service. It was good enough that they attended to us quickly, and in a friendly manner.
The staff took our order. And few minutes after that, the dinner crowd started to trickle in. Soon enough, the place was packed.
We ordered the Wonton Noodles with Fish Balls. And it cost only HK$35! So affordable!
This was the best Wonton Noodles we ever tasted! The noodles were just the right texture; chewy but not hard.
The wonton dumplings were large, and each was filled with meat and a full fresh and succulent prawn. If you like, you can add fish balls to the soup.
The soup was very tasty and flavorful. We made a guess that the fish bones and prawn shells from the ingredients were kept and cooked as part of the soup. That contributed to its great taste.
The soup really distinguishes Shek Kee from the others.

Asia Travel Gems Rating: 4.5 out of 5.0
We know, we know. The maths doesn’t add up. Their service was average. So was the ambience.
So why 4.5 out of 5.0?
It was because of the food. It was near perfection. And we feel that we must do it justice by giving the overall rating based on the wonton noodle that outshone the rest. Plus, it is offered at a very reasonable and afforable price.
Also, we feel our Asia Travel Gems readers must visit this place and taste the wonton noodles. Or you will surely miss out something special and unique in Hong Kong. So to encourage all of you, we give Shek Kee 4.5 out of 5.0.

Thanks for sharing all this great information Thimoteus. I was born in Vietnam so was my mother, so in the family we have always enjoyed Asian cooking. My mother was a great cook for Vietnamese cuisine and passed her recipes on to my wife who has become an excellent cook of various parts of the world, including Asia.
Whenever we decide to dine out, we usually select an Asian restaurant and try different dishes each time.
Your website is excellent, full of useful information and I look forward to read your future articles.
Hi John! Thanks for dropping by, and thank you for the insights into your life and history. You are so lucky to enjoy all the various types of food. We hope you will try Shek Kee when you visit Hong Kong. Do drop us a note when you do, and share with us how you find it?

You had me hungry halfway through the article. I have to find this place and try it myself. Thanks for sharing the good stuff in Hong Kong. I tried Mak’s Noodles and I think it is not bad, but not fantastic. In addition, I think the Mak’s Noodles at Wellington Street is not that good compared to other joints. Most likely, it’s due to the crowd and the kitchen might have rushed the orders especially during peak hours. The one besides Australia Dairy Company is better!
We tried Mak’s and others. And to be honest, they were all right. But compared to Shek Kee, they did not meet the mark. Even our friend in Hong Kong goes to this place two to three times a week! That says it all. haha.
And we agree with you. Mak’s not fantastic. A bit overrated. Also, their branches differ in tastes and standards. Whatever the reasons, we believe that cafes and restaurants should maintain standards.
Do drop us a note and share your experience when you visit Shek Kee.

I love your review as noodles is one of my favorite stuff. And I like the image too….it is mouth watering. Good of you to include a map of the locations as well, for those who like to travel and might end up in Hongkong one of these days. The price is also reasonable, if it is in Hongkong $. In general, you have a great site.
Your picture just made me so hungry. I love wontons but never really had the authenic ones where I want to eat it everyday. I have never been to hong kong. My husband and I are planning a trip to China sometime next year. I will definitely have to find this place and give it a try. I love food, great and delicious foods are even better. Thank you for sharing!
These wontons are really good, Hong. Your husband and you simply must try them!
Do let us know when you have, and share your experience with us when that happens.

That was a great read, and I wish I was in Hong Kong to taste this amazing place and noodles.
Lucky for me, I am in London where I can still find restaurants that make them. I don’t know if the quality will be the same, but I will give Wonton Noodles a try. Have you tried the Korean Noodles called Chop Chae? I love it!
Thanks for that.
Hi Stefan! Glad you dropped by.
Hong Kong is an amazing place with really great food. We have just started sharing a few. We plan to visit Hong Kong again, and share more interesting places as well as where you can find delicious food.
Do let us know how the Wonton Noodles are in London?
We have not heard of the Korean Noodles called Chop Chae. Do take a pic and show us? So far, we only know JaJaengMien, Kimchi Noodles, and others.
Please subscribe to our Best Places in Asia newsletter for updates. 🙂
Hey Tim. great article. I am a big fan of Asia as a travel destination. I like authentic foods when traveling to Asian Countries, and noodles are definitely in the top two after fried rice. I’ll take a look on my next trip.
Happy to hear you are a big fan of traveling to Asia. Do bookmark us, and refer to our articles for helpful info. And if you are looking for best hotel deals, do click on the banner ads we feature on our site.
We love Fried Rice too! Do you know that there is a place in Singapore that sells Fried Rice for SGD25 per plate? That feeds only one, at most two people?? It is considered expensive! But people still buy them. Maybe we should try it and blog about it here?
Do let us know when you visit Asia. See you around.

Those noodles and dumplings look amazing, I have never been to Hong Kong I will have to put it on my Bucket List I can’t go through life not knowing what Shek Kee’s Wonton noodles taste like. Thanks for the great review you really make it easy for visitors to find the best places and know that they will get quality food without breaking the bank. I love prawns so that meal will definitely be my first stop if I go there. Do you know if they have a vegetarian friendly option aswell?
Kind Regards

Oh, when you visit Hong Kong, you must try Shek Kee Wonton Noodles. If we remember correctly, there is a fish version but no vegetarian option. Then again, things change quickly. When you are there, take a look at the menu and see if there are any vegetarian choices. Do let us know after you have enjoyed the food, and let us know what you think of it?

Sounds like a good meal to try. I did spend some time in Korea and I was really into trying things I never have seen or heard of. I would love to visit Hong Kong and try some of their cultures.
Is there a big difference between the two cultures?
This is really good, Ronnie. If you are ever in Hong Kong, I highly recommend that you try this.
Korea and Hong Kong are two very different cultures. I can’t write it all here. There is a Hong Kong section in Asia Travel Gems where you can read all about this city, including about culture – https://asiatravelgems.siterubix.com/hong-kong/. In time, I will add a section on Korea.

Hey Timotheus,
That was a very interesting article!
I have never been to Asia but have always wanted to visit Toyko.
Hong Kong is up there on my list as well.
Is food and water clean enough to consume there without caution?
Wonderful noodle soup. I had the fish ball noodle soup. The bill came to $170hk for the 4 of us. A true local gem which I would not have found myself. Thanks to Tim’s directions we easily found the place. English menu available too. Quick service. Obviously popular with locals as the place had high turnover of people.
Hi Phyllis! Glad you found this food review useful and enjoyed the noodle soup. It truly is a local gem.
I will be going to Hong Kong in February, and I intend to eat here at least once! More if I can make the time. 🙂
Hi Tim
Thanks for this great tip on a local gem. Had the fish ball soup. Obviously home made fish balls. Soup was super tasty. Bill was also surprisingly low- all that Asian tourists love when travelling- good food at good price! Obviously a favourite with the locals too. Your directions were very helpful as we would not have found it otherwise.
Thanks again for the additional info, Phyllis. Yes, totally agree it is really super tasty!
And the price is so affordable!
Glad the directions helped.
And yes, forgot to mention in the article that the food here is home made. Not like the other food places where the food is mass manufactured in a factory.
Thanks! 🙂
