Our take: 88 Hong Kong Roast Meat Specialist is a popular spot for classic Hong Kong-style roast meats, particularly known for its siu yuk (roast pork) and char siew.
We note consistent praise for the roast pork's crispy crackling and the char siew's tender, caramelised glaze, often highlighted for its thick cuts and good fat-to-meat ratio.
While the roasted duck is generally considered decent, it doesn't quite reach the same heights as the pork.
The wanton mee and specialty handmade meatball noodles also receive positive mentions, with the wantons themselves being a standout.
The recent renovation has transformed the space from a kopitiam to an air-conditioned, more comfortable dining environment, which is a significant upgrade for many.
However, some find the pricing, at $68/kg for roast meats, to be on the higher side for a self-service setup.
While the queue can be substantial, it reportedly moves quickly.
We think it's a solid choice for a satisfying roast meat fix, especially if you're in the Lavender area and prioritise quality pork roasts over a full-service experience.
Best for those who don't mind a queue for good roast pork and char siew.

What customers say
88 Hong Kong Roast Meat Specialist is praised for its classic Hong Kong-style roast meats, particularly the melt-in-your-mouth roast pork with crispy crackling and the glossy, caramelised char siew.
While the roasted duck is considered average, the handmade meatball noodles and well-filled wantons are also popular.
Recent renovations have improved the dining experience with air-conditioning and more spacious seating, though some find the prices high for a self-service kopitiam-style setup and feel the roast pork can be dry.
