Fook Lam Moon (Wan Chai)
Hong Kong
1 Star
The Experience
From Michelin Guide
With 70+ years of glorious history, Fook Lam Moon is held dear by its faithful regulars as an institution in classic Cantonese cuisine. A stable kitchen team ensures the food is consistently good, be it exquisite dim sum or other traditional offerings. Standouts such as live seafood cooked various ways, deep-fried crispy chicken, baked stuffed crab shell, and gourmet soup in whole winter melon, are true delights. Some dishes need pre-ordering.

- A flagship built for private dining: multiple floors and private rooms, designed around groups as much as couples.
- Old school Cantonese confidence: a menu anchored in dim sum, seafood, and banquet dishes, with little need for reinvention.
