Address

G/F, 21 Gough Street, Central

A beef noodle shop on Gough Street since the 1930s. The room is shabby and tight, you'll share a table knee to knee, and there's a queue in the lane before it even opens. Clear-broth brisket and thick curry tendon are the two pillars, with egg noodles, rice noodles or e-fu noodles to choose from. Bib Gourmand in the 2026 Michelin Guide.
