HK Cafe in Aberdeen City

Fantastic food and service. Staff apologised because there was a large group of lads, noisy but they were behaving. Will definitely be back.

I had heard so many great reports about this restaurant and finally got round to visiting it myself and I am so so happy I did. Got to say this is now my favourite place to eat for casual dining in Aberdeen. The food was amazing bursting with flavour and so fresh and piping hot which for me is a must. I shared the salt n pepper chicken and spring rolls for starters and then for my mainI had the King Prawn Satay and it was by far the best satay sauce I have ever had. Outstanding. Everything was outstanding including the lovely staff who were lovely and smiled the whole time. I will be back again very soon and cannot wait.

Been meaning to visit the restaurant for some time & can’t believe i never went sooner - it was amazing! The food is outstanding, the nicest Asian food I’ve had in Aberdeen. The lady who served us - Teresa - was just lovely, so so nice which made the visit even more enjoyable. New favourite restaurant. Will be back real soon

What a lovely little place. Staff were so helpful and friendly. Being coeliac they knew exactly what to offer with plenty gluten free options. Food was delicious. This is a perfect little hidden gem in Aberdeen. Can’t wait to go back.

Tonight we had such a fantastic meal at Taste of Hong Kong! The kitchen was clearly very busy but that did not affect the food which was 10/10!! We had the shredded salt and pepper chicken and duck pancakes to begin with which were both delicious! The coating on the chicken was soo tasty! My fiancé had Nasi Gori for a main which he’s had before as it was so good last time and I had the honey chilli prawns with egg fried rice, I literally couldn’t stop eating the fried rice even though I was so full, I had to move it away from me as I would have exploded if I’d eaten any more! The prawns were also incredibly good and you got so many!!! Such good value for money! The waiting staff were so amazing (I think also slightly short staffed) and apologised for food delays (but there really wasn’t any delay at all!!) they were just so lovely!! Owner is also so lovely and kind, it was really heartwarming to see her relationship with customers who clearly come regularly. Overall such a lovely experience in every aspect! Please please visit and support this wonderful local business!!

Really good quality Chinese food with a very friendly and attentive staff. Small little place inside Aberdeen Market, don't miss it!

Was out Christmas shopping and decided to pop in for lunch with my daughter. The roat pork soup noodle was one of the best i’ve tasted. We also ordered squid which was cooked to perfection. Will definatly be back. Its a real pitty they cant open later in the evening or a Sunday.

Mientras ayer en Aberdeen aparecimos aquí para almorzar tarde después de leer las excelentes críticas, no puedo alabarlo lo suficiente. Fabulosa comida recién preparada, ¡la mejor comida china que jamás hayamos probado! Impecablemente limpio y los propietarios son muy amables y serviciales. ¡Fue tan bueno que volvimos a almorzar hoy!

Fui con mi trabajador de apoyo ya que los buenos chinos de abajo estaban cerrados. Pedí pollo satay, él ordenó costillas, las costillas estaban muy secas y muy grasosas y no tenían mucha carne, hicieron que mi trabajador de apoyo se sintiera enfermo. Probé una que no me gustó, sabía horrible. El pollo satay no sabía bien y el pollo sabía mal. Solo tuve un bocado que fue lo peor que he tenido en China. Además, mi trabajador de soporte ordenó una botella de agua con un cabello de un color diferente al suyo, nunca volvería

Acabo de descubrir este lugar y no puedo dejar de entusiasmarme. Simplemente se siente tan auténtico. Está dentro del mercado de Aberdeen, que parece un lugar poco fiable la primera vez que entras, y este pequeño lugar increíble está bien escondido dentro. Si lo encuentra, obtiene la recompensa de probar lo que probablemente sea la mejor comida china / cantonesa en Aberdeenshire y una de las mejores en Escocia, supongo. No es broma. Enormes porciones y precios baratos, como estar en Asia. El ambiente es excelente. Hay personas chinas haciendo cola para una mesa, solo se puede escuchar hablar chino, se siente como estar en el centro de Kowloon, Hong Kong.

The Taste of Hong Kong está situado en el edificio del mercado de Aberdeen, es bastante pequeño pero grande en sabrosa comida china y cuando necesitas esperar un asiento entre los chinos, sabes que te espera un regalo abierto desde la hora del almuerzo hasta las 5 p.m. Vale la pena una visita de un día.

Best place to get proper Chinese food. Been coming here for 3 years now and they never disappoint. If you are looking for authentic Chinese food, this is the place to come.

I used trip advisor to find the best Chinese in Aberdeen and it said this place and the food was amazing I wish they delivered to Fife lol we had duck with pancakes, chicken chow mein and chicken satay fried rice I took the new honey lemon drink it was great he had iced tea. Even the onion had loads of flavour we had loads of food left and all the food around us looked good. We have considered doing a day trip there as food was so good it’s only 1.30 hours away from us so could be a possibility. If not on our next visit definitely coming here. Staff great.

Better than your average Chinese takeaway,food was tasty and generous portion size. Surroundings a bit off putting but service very good. Would recommend

Truly excellent food, huge portions and lovely staff! We would come back to Aberdeen just for this restaurant! We ordered the Cantonese lomein with roast duck and the ho fun with xo king prawns. Both were absolutely delicious!!!! Thank you so much Taste of Hong Kong! You really made the last day of our holiday!

He estado en Taste of Hong Kong 5 veces para almorzar durante el último año, y siempre fue excelente. La comida encarna lo que me encanta de la comida china: sabores interesantes, muchas texturas diferentes e ingredientes frescos. La comida es aromática, pero nunca demasiado picante. Es sabroso e interesante: cada bocado puede aportar un nuevo sabor o textura. Las porciones son generosas, y si bien los precios han subido considerablemente en el último año, sigue siendo una buena relación.

He vivido y estudiado en Hong Kong, así que fue una agradable sorpresa encontrarme con Taste of Hong Kong aquí en Aberdeen. Tuvimos una excelente comida allí con mi amigo, a ambos nos encantaron nuestros platos y el personal fue muy amable y encantador. Probé el limón helado de miel, que es una bebida nueva en el menú y estaba súper delicioso. Definitivamente volveré a visitar Taste of Hong Kong de nuevo, ¡gracias!

Outstanding food service and prices, you will not be disappointed. Simply wonderful! Home made, fresh and so much better than your generic Chinese restaurants!

Been a few times with the wife for lunch. Staff very welcoming and the food is amazing. Do not be put off of Aberdeen market, well worth a look in. Great price too

I had a iced tea And stir fry My son had chicken curry and Rice Food was lovely But would like to see half portions As they very big Too big for children Beautiful chineese food 😀

This is the closest I have found to genuine Cantonese cooking in the country and not only delicious, unbelievably low cost. It’s like being back in Hong Kong and eating the best street food.... Thank you girls and see your next week.

Again, the food in Aberdeen market doesn’t fail to amaze! Amazing noodles in soup with dumplings, but the best bit by far was the peanut butter french toast! Honestly the most amazing thing I’ve ever experienced. Amazing value for money too!

Solo vino para tau - fu - fa. No he tenido uno por un tiempo y esto sirve el mejor tau - fu - fa aquí en Aberdeen. Venga temprano para evitar decepciones ya que hay tau - fu - fa limitado. La mesera tuvo la amabilidad de ofrecer la última que se guardó cuando visité por última vez este café, que mi amigo aprecia mucho. No puedo comentar sobre la otra comida.

No hay mejor lugar en Aberdeen para disfrutar de la cocina china que el Taste of Hong Kong.

El café es un pequeño negocio familiar con una gran reputación por servir excelente comida. Recientemente, los propietarios renovaron la cocina y la zona de asientos, ahora parece increíble.

Muy buena barbacoa en el plato de arroz, sabrosa casi como se puede obtener en el London China Town.

Después de unos días de comida escocesa, este fue un cambio agradable y agradable. El personal era amable y servicial; revisó el menú y destacó sus pocas especialidades.

If you are in Aberdeen and looking for a cheap lunch, and fancy asian food, then this is the place to go. The salt & pepper pork was good, but the accompanying fried rice was exceptional. Accompanied with some jasmine tea, a meal for two with large portions cost just over £14 - good food and exceptional value - well done!

As per usual with Aberdeen market everything seems a little run down but in this place there is somewhere else that proves that appearances can be deceiving.

It has been our weekly Saturday routine to pop in for brunch at HK cafe. We were shocked and gutted to hear that the owners had sold the business... I was told, however, the new owner is a chef from HK so should be really good... They were right!! Since the new owners took over, the food is even better than before!! I almost cried when I had my beef brisket noodles as they taste exactly how I remember it from HK!! Not just the food, the new owners are lovely as well!! (We do miss you Simon!!)

We enjoyed a very tasty lunch at a reasonable price with a decent portion size and all freshly cooked in good time. We will be going back again to sample other dishes.

Best Chinese food I have tried in a long time. The portions very large and the price very reasonable. We will definitely be back.

My husband and I always come here 2 - 3 times a month when we crave Chinese food during the Weekend and have tried 80% of their menu. I'm Chinese so believe me this place is AWESOME & DELICIOUS! The portions are big, ingredients are fresh and taste amazing! Not to mention at a very affordable price! You need to have their homemade fried dumplings! Their Roast Pork with Rice, Roast Duck with pancakes are fantastic. Better than any Chinese takeaway or restaurant. Their fried noodles, fried rice & soup noodle dishes are a must! The lovely humble & polite elderly couple that cook and run this place have been here for many years. We are wondering when they're going to retire and who's gonna take over the business. Till then, we eat here as many times as we can and suggest you do the same. ^_^

I can't recommend this place enough. The food was lovely as I have missed the traditional style of food you get in Hong Kong. I had the roast duck and won him egg soup noodles with a lemon ice tea. This was so tasty. I have been here numerous times with my partner and my friend. The service is great. Would recommend.

within the Aberdeen Market building but hey ho the food is great. I had the dumpling noodle soup, filling and flavoursome, excellent value and served by a friendly Chinese dude as well. I'm definitely going to go back.

Teníamos el día en Aberdeen y estábamos buscando algo diferente para el almuerzo. Este café es el lugar más modesto (Mercado de aberdeen) sitio y posiblemente no cruza o pensar "Oh decepción; s volver aquí para el almuerzo", pero tropezar debe porque no te decepcionará! El menú tiene una gran variedad de lo que creo que es la comida tradicional así como las cosas que esperarías en un menú para llevar. El servicio es genial y la comida es increíble también. Las raciones son enormes sin duda dejar sensación de lleno.

Gran lugar para un almuerzo rápido y sabroso. La sopa de fideos guiso es enorme y delicioso, pero mi favorito es el cerdo y el pato con arroz, que es excelente. El personal es muy amable y el servicio es rápido. Es difícil quejarse!

He probado todos los elementos del menú, y felizmente todos ellos de nuevo! comer

Hemos estado allí dos veces y volveré a por más. El arroz frito es mejor que cualquier cosa que puedes encontrar en el barrio chino de Londres y sé ver he estado en la mayoría de los restaurantes que hay allí y manera pagado más...

Haber descubierto a Madame Mews y pensando qué podría ser mejor, finalmente decidí probar, para el almuerzo y HK guau, qué craqueo lugar resultó ser. Una sopa con fideos y cerdo y era simplemente delicioso. Esta es una absoluta debe visitar para comer y muy buena relación calidad-precio. La comida es increíblemente buena, y el servicio es rápido y eficiente, sin prisa. Volveré de nuevo y de nuevo. Quién sabía mercado aberdeen sería mi lugar favorito para el almuerzo!

Tengo que decir que este Chino es bastante bueno comparado con otros establecimientos en términos de autenticidad de los alimentos. Todos preferimos ser prapared comida asiática como se prepara originalmente en el país nativo. Dicho esto HK Cafe tienen una sección europea en el menú, que incluye platos típicos talored al paladar, sino también toda una gama de opciones más auténtico. Quedamos bastante contentos con la sal y la pimienta triturada, pollo. El Pato Pekín aromático no estaba medio mal aunque podría haber sido más nítida y juicier. No era demasiado impresionado con el plato de fideos ho divertido ya que pensamos que le faltaba un poco de sabor. Volveremos para probar otros platos en el menú, y ver si el lugar cultivado en nosotros. Por ahora nos dan una calificación de 4 estrellas y lo sostienen que es uno de los mejores chinos en la ciudad. En resumen, nos encantó el servicio amable y un par de platos, pero algunos de los otros alimentos que pedimos era menos convincente.

Been going to HK cafe pretty much since it opened. Food is fantastic and the staff are friendly and helpful. As stated in other reviews the honey chili chicken is brilliant, and the chicken chow mein is to die for. We must have visited around 30 times now and have never had a bad meal. Five stars all round.

We used to visit the HK Cafe every week - the sweet chilli chicken is to die for. Alas we are 15 mins walk away now but still make it here for lunch once a month. Great service, great price.

There are various menus based on the fusion-chinese dishes served with rice, noodle and traditional cuisine as well. I was stuffed with just a bowl of noodle soup! I really enjoyed my noodle soup with warm and friendly atmosphere, also i would come again to try more dishes what I couldn't order because of a bit portion LOL

We order the roast duck everytime with noodles, big portion, comes with a duck thigh and more, my partner loves it.I really liked the fried dumplings. I ve tried a couple of other dishes with rice like the honey chilli, one with lots of bell peppers and few pieces of chicken and another one with pork, good but i wasn't thrilled. The service is always very friendly and the food comes on time, even if it s busy. The whole family dines here, which is a good sign. 6-7£ for mains.

I found this place accidentally after exploring Aberdeen Market. Admittedly the surroundings of Aberdeen Market has had its better years, but as previous reviewers have stated, do NOT be fooled by the immediate environment. My personal favourite dishes are the Noodle Soup dishes (Beef Brisket or Pork Ho-Fun) which are huge as well as delicious. The menu is still varied enough for anyone's taste and trust me, when you look at other customers' dishes, you'll see that their portions are equally substantial. I absolutely love eating here and whenever I'm in Aberdeen city centre, I try to get a seat during the busy lunch time. Which brings to mind my biggest negative about this place... it can get very busy and seating can be problematic, but if you are willing to wait for a place you won't regret it. This has to be one of my best 'hidden gem' discoveries and if you want to avoid the exorbitant costs elsewhere for portions of this size and quality, you can't go wrong coming here. The only places I've tried which could beat this cafe, were in the Far East. Put it another way, look at the number of Chinese customers eating here. We love our food and as a result I this place is "Highly recommended!!"

Like Madame Mew's Thai, it's hidden in the middle of one of the worst indoor markets in the UK but the food is excellent (if a bit more expensive than Mew's and the cheap eateries of Manchester's Chinatown that I grew up with). Just watch where you sit as it is right inbetween two Thai restaurants and it isn't immediately obvious which seats belong to which restaurant!

This place is fantastic. Don't be put off by the surroundings, just focus on the food. Definitely the best Chinese food to be had in town. The Honey Chilli Chicken is to die for and an absolute bargain.

Simple dishes. Massive portions. Cheap and cheerful.There are lots of Chinese restaurants and takeaways, most claiming to be authentic Chinese cuisine. Me as Chinese, having lived in the UK for 20+ years, I have tried most of the takeaways and restaurants in the area, and been disappointed repeatedly... Only 2 restaurants currently serve good Chinese food but it's a bit pricey if we dine out weekly...We as a family have been loyal customers in the recent years. It's nice honest food - I love it, my husband (Scottish) loves it, even my fussy-micro-teenager 5years old (Jockinese) loves it. Almost every Saturday, we wander down to the market in autopilot mode... Even my supervisor knows where to find me at a weekend...

Always polite, food is to die for. I adore the brisket soup, fried noodles and of course the fried dumplings

It's small, friendly and not easy to find however if you find yourself in the underground Aberdeen market area go to the HK cafe (it's sat between two Thai cafes so chose carefully) and order the honey chill chicken!!! You won't be disappointed!!!

Asides from possibly the legendary Canton in Woodside, this is the best chinese in town. Duck is amazing. Dumplings will blow your mind. Even a portion of plain noodles is bursting with life and flavour. Staff are always friendly. prices are cheap as chips. If you're hovvering around town, jump in for a bite.

I am a regular here over the last 6 years. It is tucked away in Aberdeen Market, and only opens Mon-Sat 9am-5pm, serving authentic chinese fast food. I love their fried dumplings - one of the best I have tasted in the UK! The fried seafood udon is the usual favourite and their beef soup noodles is a must-try. Our regular side dishes include the salt & pepper chicken wings. But if you're planning on having breakfast, you have to try their hong kong french toast with butter and maple syrup. They have soy bean pudding (otherwise known to Malaysian & Singaporeans alike as Tau Foo Fah), which is a common dessert in Asia and they are the only place that does this in the North East of Scotland. The couple who runs this place are incredibly warm and friendly and if you're visiting them on a hot, warm & sunny day, quench your thirst with their famous iced lemon tea. The price is worthwhile for the generous serving. This is a must-try if you're living or visiting Aberdeen!

HK Cafe is a little gem tucked away in the Aberdeen Market Food Court area. They have quite an adequate menu selection for such a small place. The food is tasty and arrives quickly, and the couple who run it are very friendly. It is very normal for you to have to wait for a table on Saturdays, as they have about 6-8 tables and they fill up quickly! The only downside is that due to it being located in the Market, they aren't open on Sundays. I usually have a starter - a bowl of Wanton Soup - and that fills me right up! For those who want a bit of a heavier lunch they have soup noodle options as well as noodle and rice dishes. I recommend the X.O. Ho Fun - its the hubby's favourite!
