Randy W Posted November 19, 2017 Report Share Posted November 19, 2017 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. 2 Link to comment
