Just the best beef brisket in town . Don't be scared by the crowds the service fast😄 Tip: try also the competitive beef brisket at #sisterwah at Tin Hau - still a secret but also sooo good!😍

Matt Ta-Min

Expect long queues at this reliably excellent, but cramped little eatery . Your carbs options are ALL noodles here, but don't worry they are all a great accompaniment for the amazing beef brisket .

Jeremy N

Amazing beef brisket noodles and curry noodles . Portions are a bit small so order one of each. Have the clear soup first and then the heavier curry noodles after. Perfect with an iced lemon tea !

jwön

Like all good food in HK, there is always a queue. Kau Kee doesn't disappoint; tender chunks of braised beef , although you need to pick the right noodles . Curry beef also worth a try! 7/10

P C

The beef noodles are to die for. Meat is supersoft, noodles chewy, broth filling. The queue snakes round the block, even in the rain. Come at non mealtime hours to skip the Qs. Starts at 12.30pm.

What distinguishes Kau Kee from other noodle restaurants is that they only serve Beef Brisket in clear broth and curry soup . Welcome everybody to ask me questions about Hong Kong.

Riri Grr

Nothing’s really impressive here, but it’s everybody’s to-go-place for a nice bowl of beef tendon or brisket that puts you in great comfort. Their beef tendon in curry really stood out best.

Cynthia Drescher

Was a little intimidated to eat here bc it's a very local, brusque place, but am happy I did. Dinner for 3 people came to $205 HKD. Beef tendon & curry e-fu noodles + iced coffee for me!

NeMeSiS

Always wanted to try their beef brisket . Local favorite hence expect to Q. Small and cramp place but with good ventilation. Would love to try their curry next round. Note the staffs may not be polite

Viv Peng

I passed by this place everyday because it's so close to my place. There's forever a queue of tourists . I walked in today around 10 when there's no line . I ordered curry beef noodle soup . So good!

Richard Foo

Famed outlet specializing in Beef Brisket/Beef noodles . Choice of Yee Mee, thick noodle in Traditional broth or Curry sauce . Traditional broth is excellent. Be prepared to queue.

Sorin Ciocan

Excellent beef brisket & efau noodles . I've been told it's best of the kind in HK. Indeed is very tasty. Don't look for anything fancy : you cue to enter, you sit, you eat, you leave.

Ginevra Villa

Find the time and patience to queue. While in HK you can't miss a lunch at Kau Kee Restaurant. Thumbs up for food quality, time management and organisation. Carry noodles highly recommended

Megan Li

Only beef brisket and various noodles . Tiny place but well-known so line is out the door. Moves fast. Good value . However, I'd recommend take-out (I question the sanitary conditions a bit).

Curry beef tendon and brisket noodles and thebregular clear both brisket noodles are both amazing! Lives up to the hype.

Peter Woodman

probably the best beef noodle stew i have had. broth in the regular noodle soup is amazing and fragrant, and the curry is smooth and comforting. strong recommend.

Chinaphong Kowong

The curry noodle is the best. There's always a queue. On average a person spends 15 minutes in this restaurant , so it's quick. Expect to wait about 30 minutes to be seated. *Ps. No queue for take out .

jansen c

Really good beef noodle soup , highly recommend their curry e-noodle!! Keep in mind.. might be a 30 mins wait, below average service and sharing table with others.

Katrina

Came close to closing so most noodles were sold out. Had curry Beef brisket with Tendon egg noodles . It was good. Curry was tasty & spicy . Meat & tendon was tender. Tho I wouldn't wait an hr for it.

Roberto Thais

If two bowls is too much, get the beef brisket noodles and a side of the curry (only 10 HKD). Dip some of the noodles and beef into the curry and enjoy.

R F

Get the curry beef tendon soup with e-fu noodles . I don't even like e-fu noodles , but damn. If you don't want to wait, get takeout , but I reco eating there the 1st time.

Josche Encarnacion

This was such an interesting experience where you are seated with strangers in a packed table that you will definitely hear each other slurp. Loved the beef tendon curry with flat noodles .

Sonia S

Environment itself could be improved but soup and noodles are truly delicious. Beef very tender. Must try in HK!

Johnny Wang

{4/5) Noodle shop with a variety of beef offerings, all of which are quite tasty. My personal vote is for the sirloin beef with tendon , which is deliciously tender.

Ivana Li

Amazing broths!!! If you're here with at least 2 ppl, get one of each broth - regular and curry .

Daphne Goon

Lives up to its famous name. Very delicious and worth it! 👍🏻👍🏻 tried the curry and clear broth

Micheál Ó Bolguidhir

Cramped and noisy , the way HK noodle places are supposed to be. The noodles are great, and cheap . Always a queue but it moves quickly. Don't bother ordering a drink, you won't be there long enough.

Chin Yee Tong

Well it's safe to say I did not regret standing in the queue for 30 minutes for my delicious bowl of beef slice noodles . Was absolutely mouth watering.

Sonya

Q moves relatively fast. Best beef brisket noodles ever. Try it with e-fu noodles . There’s a minimum order per person (around 60hkd).

Dallas Kwok

Curry beef noodles are absolutely amazing. Staff are assholes, but that's the true Hong Kong way. Be careful of discrepancies between the Chinese and English menus.

R C

Feels like you're eating in a very public washroom- definitely worth trying for local experience. Gigantic amount of noodles in a tiny bowl, curry is strong and greasy.

R Tan

It's everything is cracked up to be; crowded , grumpy waiters and great beef brisket noodles . Don't expect good service , but expect the best beef brisket in Hong Kong.

Matt Ta-Min

Excellent beef brisket . Curry beef noodles is my favourite. Queues out of the door are there for good reason.

Lilly Ng

If you're a girl and you order and eat two bowls of noodles , the staff will loudly tease/praise you mercilessly -__-

Gregory K.

Is it worth the wait? Yup! If super hungry order two bowls or split an extra one with a friend

Chin Ong

Delicious, rich yet not cloying, leaves you thirsty for more. Service and ambience make a challenging experience but the extraordinary food is addictive. Hence people will queue even in the rain.

RTWgirl Arnette

The beef brisket soup or curried beef brisket soup is the bees knees. Less thank $1US and you'll be craving it forever

Yong Patrick

Best curry beef brisket noodles served by foul mouth waiters n cashier . Dun take too long to make an order 😁

Mamoru

Very tasty noodle .

Ryan Bello

Amazing noodles . Order the #4 (clear broth ) and the #14 (curry ).

Leo C.

All time favourite for beef brisket ! Have it with the thin egg noodles , instead of the white flat rice noodles .

Jeremy Fisher

The queue forms well before opening, but the restaurant is much bigger than it looks (probably the first hundred or so people get in). Note that they don't serve no. 1 (Kau Kee Special) until dinner

Monkeyking

Cons: You have to wait one hour outside to get your beef brisket noodles . Pros: Daimn... it's worth it.

Sawit K.

Curry with flat noodle is to die for. Recommend

shinnygogo

Beef brisket noodle soup . Worth the wait.

Ivan N

Must order one more soup to accompany Efu noodles as soup is running out fast

J

牛脆腩 ($168) is heavenly. Order takeaway with no queue, and eat at the benches outside

Jayce Teh

Honestly just another restaurant which tourist will go. For me, is good to try once but not worth to q for the food.

Will Leung

long line , beef brisket is tasty. wide noodles are recommended.

vivienne au-yang

amazing curry beef noodles but the owner is so rude & grumpy, would yell at you if you move slow, it's almost funny
