There are MANY wonton noodle "restaurants" in HK. They are usually narrow with very uncomfortable seating. You definitely want to rinse and wipe down your eating utensils. I try not to think about it when I take a sip of water from the plastic cups. But okay, enough about how much of a freak I am...I guess I should be grateful the roof is not a makeshift one?
This particular one is different because it is the one and only one in HK. Other establishments have basically expanded and are all over HK. I'm told the original owners, the Mak family (I know, if only we were related), started with one wonton noodle shop. Internal family fights split up the family and each sibling opened his own, but using the same last name Mak. Only distinguishing part is what comes after Mak. This one is Mak Man Kee. There are Mak An Kee, Mak Siu Kee, Mak Kee, etc.
Mak Man Kee is my family's favorite. It's a simple menu. Served quickly and in plastic dishes. Four wontons and noodles. Its braised beef is also really really good. The food here is actually quite
pricey compared to other shops but you come for the quality, not
quantity. Which is why you head on over next door to Australian Dairy Company afterwards...lol
