About Man Tsuen Ho's Restaurant
Man Tsuen Ho's on Nelson Street is a proper Chinese restaurant doing dim sum and roast meats the way they're meant to be done. Walk in and you'll find it packed—mostly with older Chinese diners, which tells you everything you need to know. The roast char sui, duck, and belly pork come out burnished and crackling. Dim sum arrives in trolleys: sui mai and har gau that don't disappoint. The service moves fast even when the place is rammed, and staff like David will steer you right if you're unsure what to order. It's casual and cosy, full by lunch and dinner, with groups and families filling tables. Cocktails are solid, the beer selection's decent, and they've got vegetarian options if you need them. This is the place that's brought back the vibe Chinatown had in the 90s—the one locals actually go to, not the tourist trap round the corner.
