Editor’s Note

Last updated 30 May 2026

Our take: Central Hong Kong Café, a long-standing fixture in Vivocity, presents a mixed bag of experiences.

While some patrons praise its aesthetically pleasing decor compared to other HK-style cafes, there are reports of menu changes, with some popular items like Chinese sausages with rice and egg no longer available.

Quality seems to be a point of contention; some find the flavors and texture of dishes like the Stewed Drumstick Noodles and signature HK-style '车仔面' to have declined.

However, others are pleasantly surprised by the deliciousness of dishes like the Vegetarian Hor Fun ($9), noted for its strong wok hei and generous portion, and the Fried La Mian with seafood ($11.50).

The Wanton Soup ($9) also receives commendation for its fresh, large prawn-filled wantons.

We think the Seafood Fried Rice is a reliable choice, especially with a side of chili oil to enhance its smoky flavor.

While the atmosphere might be lacking due to its location next to a busy area, the food can feel homemade and the staff accommodating.

We'd recommend focusing on the Vegetarian Hor Fun or the Wanton Soup for a potentially satisfying meal.

Best for a casual, affordable meal if you're in the area, but manage expectations regarding traditional HK flavors for certain dishes.

What customers say

Central Hong Kong Café receives mixed reviews, with some customers praising specific dishes like the Vegetarian Hor Fun, Fried La Mian with seafood, and Wanton Soup for their authentic flavors and generous portions.

However, others express disappointment over menu changes, declining quality of certain items like the Stewed Drumstick Noodles, and a lack of authentic Hong Kong flavors in dishes like the Chee Cheong Fun and wanton noodles.

Service is generally well-regarded, but the restaurant's location next to a busy area is noted as a downside.

This is not HK wanton noodles at all. Totally off the mark. Neither the flavor of grilled dried flounder fish nor shrimp roe powder. They also have the most tasteless watered down sesame sauce in the…
