Editor’s Note

Last updated 21 Jul 2026

Our take: Hong Kong Street Restaurant (Novena) offers a reliable, no-frills Zi Char experience, particularly well-suited for group dining.

We note consistent feedback on generous portion sizes, with even 'S' dishes often sufficient for four people, making it a good value proposition.

Dishes like the Hor Fun with egg gravy, Typhoon Shelter pork ribs, and bitter gourd beef are frequently mentioned as classic choices, though some reviews suggest the flavours are decent but can lean slightly salty.

The Cereal Soft Shell Crab stands out as a signature item, praised for its crispiness and fragrance.

While service is generally described as fast and straightforward, some patrons have experienced slower service during busy periods.

The atmosphere is casual and can get noisy, so it's not a spot for quiet conversation.

We think it's a solid choice for a hearty, affordable group meal, especially if you're in the Novena area and prioritising quantity and value over gourmet refinement.

Best for groups of 4-6; be prepared for a bustling environment during peak times.

Good food with traditional flavour. Reasonable pricing Parking is expensive

★★★★★James Lim· 6 months ago

I don't think the claypot tofu is worth $16 given that most of the ingredients are vegetables and not meat. Taste wise, it was decent.
