The popular restaurant keeps customers returning for its delectable Cantonese staples and dim sum selection

 

Established in 1988, the celebrated Wah Lok Cantonese Restaurant has consistently received accolades over the years. You’re welcomed by grand wooden arches, oriental motifs, and a rotunda aglow with a cascading chandelier. As waiters banter with regular diners in fluent and polite Cantonese, it feels like you have been transported to a bustling Hong Kong institution. Soups are a barometer of Chinese cooking and Wah Lok nails it with its signature boiled fish maw and chicken soup. The classic deep-fried frog legs with sliced ginger is superb, as is the baked spare rib in a lip-smacking Hong Kong-style barbecue sauce with a spicy kick. There’s an entire page dedicated to hearty and comforting claypot dishes, so come in a big group to sample a variety of them. Finish the meal with a bowl of piping hot walnut cream or freshly prepared double-boiled hashima.
