At a glance
- The restaurant is at ground level, Po Wah Commercial Centre, 226 Hennessy Road, Wan Chai. Save the English name and address together so you don’t confuse it with an overseas branch with a similar name or another roast meat restaurant. It’s an easy walk from Wan Chai Station. You can pair your meal with a ride on the Johnston Road tram or a stroll through the Blue House neighborhood.
- If you’re dining alone for the first time, start with the goose rice or noodle dishes on the menu. If you’re with a group, share a plate of goose and decide how much rice or noodles each person wants. Goose is served on the bone, so the plate size alone can make it hard to judge how much meat you’ll get. If you want a particular cut, ask about the price difference and serving size before ordering. Even if you take the staff’s recommendation, first check that the amount is right for your group.
- The Hong Kong Tourism Board describes this as a small restaurant with about 30 seats. Even if there’s a line, don’t expect a precise seating time as you might at a larger restaurant with reservations. If you have a timed plan before or after your meal, set a limit on how long you’ll wait. If takeaway is available, also check whether you have somewhere to eat. Waiting outside on a hot day takes energy too.

Ordering goose and getting around Wan Chai
The price of a bowl of roast goose rice and the price of a plate of goose are not directly comparable. Use the menu to work out the total, including rice or noodles for each person, drinks, and any extra cuts. This official check did not confirm the same-day menu or prices for every cut, so no specific amount is given as the right budget. If the goose is sold out, decide whether to try another barbecued meat dish, such as char siu or roast pork, or go to another restaurant if goose is the main reason for your visit.
If the meal and wait have taken more time than planned, keep just a stroll through Wan Chai’s lanes and a short tram ride rather than adding Happy Valley. If you want to see the Blue House exhibition, check its public opening hours and note that it’s closed on Wednesdays. Watch out for hot juices and small bones. Cut the meat and check it for bones before serving it to children. Keep large bags out of the entrance and away from the narrow tables.
How to fit it in
From Wan Chai Station, go to 226 Hennessy Road and first check the queue and any sold-out notices. If the line is long, ask staff how the queue works after taking a number instead of wandering around nearby without a plan.
Reality check
Walk from Wan Chai Station to 226 Hennessy Road. After your meal, choose either the Blue House or the tram stretch along Johnston Road.
Allow 40–60 minutes for the meal and 30 minutes for a peak-time wait.
Compare the price of a rice or noodle dish for one with the price of a plate of goose, and order an amount that suits your group.
Watch out for bones and hot juices, and avoid bringing large bags into the tight seating area.
If plans change
If the estimated wait on site is more than 30 minutes, go to a saved roast meat restaurant in Wan Chai. Don’t delay your next sightseeing plans to keep waiting.
Switch to a rice dish with another barbecued meat to keep your meal plans in the same area.
Small tip
Set 30 minutes as your maximum wait. If it takes longer, go to another roast meat restaurant in Wan Chai. Check on site whether takeaway is available, and avoid planning to bring a suitcase into the cramped shop.
Final check before departure
- Check the main shop at 226 Hennessy Road and its opening hours for your visit date.
- Choose between individual dishes and shared plates, and set a 30-minute maximum wait.
- Save one backup restaurant in Wan Chai.
