Generous serving size. Tasty without being too salty which I find in most Cantonese restos. The flavor is on point. My favorite would be the Spicy Wagyu Noodles. Noodles were firm and the spicy-ness level is just right. I recommend this if you’re looking for an affordable but filling and tasty meal.
A pleasant 4 for this Hong Kong Roast Duck place. The plating was just as how I remembered this dish being served in HK: non-assuming and deceitfully sparing in serving. But don't judge 'til you get a bite! Their D1: HK Roast Duck Rice was authentically Hong Kong. The duck was tender and has that nice fatty flavor, although I didn't like how the bones were persistently clinging to the meat. It's paired with a tangy sauce that tempers the fatty character of the duck and seems unique to this place. Got myself their Hong Kong Milk Tea as well, and loved how creamy it was.
ordered char siu rice and wagyu beef noodles that tasted great and served in decent serving size. Their milk tea was okayish which you expect from the price range
Service was good, it was easy to approach or call out for any requests. We weren’t served with soup at first so we asked if it was included in the orders since we saw on the other tables. Staff were very nice and gave us soup immediately.
Food was good but the Soy Chicken looks more like White Chicken with a sauce made up of soy sauce and sugar. Not what we were expecting where soy chicken usually is not saucy but the chicken itself was cooked in soy. But it was good though not that traditional.
Siomai was ok but not the best I had. A bit bland without the soy sauce and chili.

One go-to Chinese cuisine among Filipinos would have to be Cantonese, which hailed from Hong Kong— a country so near us that it's often a vacation site for the holidays. Known as a hotspot for restaurants or even hole-in-the-wall eateries, Hong Kong prides itself for their roasted meats.
And if you're craving these meaty dishes, Tai Koo Hong Kong Roast is one place you can check out! Aptly named after a city (and MTR) station in the Hong Kong Island, this restaurant specializes in serving single-serving roasts with your choice of dry noodles, noodle soup, or the classic: rice.
Tai Koo's new and improved Char Siu now features leaner meat that still comes with the same savory taste. And don't you worry— it's still just as tender and just as flavorful. I do miss though the occasional soft, fatty bits you commonly find in meat (I'm talking about a 80% meat to 20% fat ratio), but since the faction of fatty vs lean is divided, maybe what Tai Koo can do is offer both and just let people choose based on what they want.
You can enjoy it with other roast meats including Roasted Pork (aka Lechon Macau), Roasted Duck, White Chicken and Soya Chicken, along with old-time dimsum favorites like Pork Siomai, Shrimp Hakkaw, Chicken feet and fried Gyoza dumplings.
And if you want to get your daily dose of greens, you can choose from garlicky Broccoli, Bok Choy or a popular Hong Kong favorite— the Gai Lan. Known as Chinese Kale, this vegetable has a thick and fleshy stem, and a mellow but slightly bittersweet flavor.
While you're at it, treat yourself to a glass of Hong Kong Milk Tea. The taste of tea is stronger versus the Taiwanese variants, and it is slightly less creamy like the Singaporean ones. Not too sweet, light and refreshing. A good accompaniment to any meal.
Thanks for having me!
Well, there's just not much to say but ang sarap!
The best HK Roast Rice toppings. Lechon Belly is perfectly crispy and Roast Duck is flavorful hanggang buto. They've improved a lot since I tried them in McKinley branch years ago.
The husband and I still have a lot to try next time especially the Charsiu dishes they have recently promoted. 👍
At first, I'm not a fan of Char Siu. I usually eat the Roast Pork Belly and Wagyu Beef, or maybe, the Roast Pork Belly's taste marked my taste buds more than the Char Siu. Last two weeks, Tai Koo HK Roast launched the new and improved Char Siu. It was leaner than the usual. I also noticed that it was glazed more with that sweet sauce making it more flavorful. I agree, it was flavorful than before. Will try the Char Siu again the next time. I must also say that I love the bacon-wrapped siomai. It was filling and tasty even without soy sauce and calamansi. I recommend the service here. Staff were very attentive.
i love @taikooph ‘s char siu and it’ll be a love-er feeling as they introduce a better and tastier version na talagang mapapatus ko un extra rice kahit ma-delay un diet ko.
i noticed that their take on the #CharSiu is much leaner of w/c i kinda missed that lil slice of buttery fat to magically add contrast to the meat. don’t get me wrong it tastes good, but it wouldve have more umph and gleam had the fat been present.
on the brighter side, at least the health conscious can rejoice ‘coz this will really cater to their preference w/ compromising taste and quality
.
personally, i enjoyed the char siu dried hk noodles, the beef wagyu, the buchiii and yes i had extra rice - dont judge 🤤 try their newest char siu and lemme know what y’all think.
With travelling, what's always good is that you get to experience the local cuisine of a specific place; and Hong Kong has a rich cuisine that can't be missed. You must agree with me that Chinese or Hong Kong food is one of the most popular and delicious dishes in the world. I bet most, if not all, countries have their little China town where you can get these tasty grubs.
Missing Hongkong roasts?
No need to fly to that shopping and foodie paradise that is close to Pinoy hearts to satisfy that craving.
Tai Koo at the Podium Mall serves succulent pork , beef and chicken slices that are scrumptious yet very affordable. Pair it with either rice or noodles and you are all set...
