At a glance

  • The shrimp-roe and shiitake mushroom dry noodles, featured by the Hong Kong Tourism Board as a recommended dish, have almost no broth. Wonton noodles center on broth and shrimp-and-pork wontons. If it’s your first visit, your group can order one bowl of each to compare.
  • If you’re dining alone, start with one bowl. If there are two of you, order one soup noodle dish and one tossed noodle dish to compare their textures and saltiness.
  • The shop is on the ground floor at 48 Kweilin Street. After browsing the parts shops on Ap Liu Street, stop for lunch before heading to the market. This avoids a hill or a long walk right after your meal.

60-minute Sham Shui Po lunch

How to fit it in

Reality check

Transport

Walk from Sham Shui Po MTR Station to 48 Kweilin Street, then continue through Ap Liu Street and the market lanes. You can keep walking toward the market after your meal, without adding an itinerary on the other side of Kowloon.

Time

Allow 30–40 minutes to order and eat, and set a wait limit of 20 minutes, keeping the total visit within 60 minutes. If the line is longer, switch to another nearby noodle shop and continue your Sham Shui Po itinerary.

Cost

Start with one regular bowl per person. For two people, start with one soup noodle dish and one tossed noodle dish. Decide whether to add wontons or toppings after checking the day’s prices and portion sizes on the menu.

Safety

Shrimp-roe dry noodles and shrimp wontons contain shrimp. If you’re allergic to shrimp, pork, or eggs, ask staff about the ingredients and possible cross-contact before ordering. Don’t eat there if you can’t get a clear answer. Be careful around hot broth and in the narrow aisles.

If plans change

Lau Sum Kee Noodles: If the line is long

Switch to wonton noodles or dim sum in the same area to avoid losing time in transit.

Small tip

Shrimp-roe dry noodles have a distinct shrimp aroma and salty taste. If you want noodles in broth, choose wonton noodles. Both dishes may contain shrimp, so if you have a shrimp allergy, ask staff whether there’s a safe option and whether cooking utensils could cause cross-contact. Don’t eat there if you can’t get a clear answer.

Final check before departure

  • Ask staff about ingredients you need to avoid, such as shrimp, pork, and eggs, and ask about possible cross-contact from cooking utensils.
  • Choose whether your first order will be soup wonton noodles or tossed shrimp roe noodles.
  • Check lunch opening hours and closing days, and save another restaurant in the same area in case the wait exceeds 20 minutes.

The Hong Kong Tourism Board lists the address as ground floor, 48 Kweilin Street, Sham Shui Po, Kowloon. Confirm opening hours, days off, available menu items, and payment methods with the restaurant on the day you visit.
