Mak Man Kee Noodle Shop (), situated on Parkes Street close to Jordan MTR station in Hong Kong, is a classic Guangdong eatery renowned for its wonton noodle dishes. Founded in 1957 originally as a dai pai dong, the establishment transitioned indoors and celebrated its 50th year in 2007. In 2017, it received a Michelin Guide star, underscoring its esteemed position in the culinary scene.
The restaurant’s hallmark Cantonese noodles are handcrafted using a blend of flour and eggs, including duck eggs, adhering to the founder’s original recipe, who is the father of the current proprietor. The broth is carefully prepared to enhance the noodles without overwhelming them, and notably, no monosodium glutamate is added.
Although famed for its wonton noodles served in hot broth, the menu features a variety of noodle options available either soupy or dry ().
As of June 2007, the price for a bowl of wonton noodles stood at HK$21. Despite limited seating and a modest setting, the restaurant draws loyal patrons willing to wait in line, preferring superior quality over nearby alternatives priced near HK$10. The Michelin star accolade further reinforces its reputation within Hong Kong’s competitive dining landscape.
