Yes, the sign really does say what you think it does. In Mandarin, that's 口利幅 Kou Li Fu, or "Good Fortune for the Mouth". But in Hong Kong, they speak Cantonese - for them (and us English-speakers), it really DOES say Ho Lee Fook.

It is branded as Chinese, Japanese, Asian fusion - the main chef is Taiwanese.
But "fusion" seems to refer to VERY loud, American music from the 70's and 80's, English-only menus, and a Taiwanese-Canadian chef with dishes which are different from what our friends from the Mainland (in particular, my wife) seem to expect. She wasn't impressed.
I was somewhat over-whelmed at having to select Asian/Chinese food from a menu with no pictures, and no Chinese to help HER, but I was very satisfied with my choices. An excellent restaurant, just make sure your Chinese significant-other is "open to the experience"

This is the entire first floor of the restaurant - the stairs lead down to the eating area,

We were one of the first tables seated - there was a pretty good crowd not long afterward.
