About
Chan Luk Kee
Nestled discreetly at 4號 Tsun Fu St in Sheung Shui, Hong Kong, Chan Luk Kee is a humble gem for lovers of authentic Cantonese flavors. This no-frills restaurant embraces rustic, homecooked Chinese cuisine, drawing patrons who appreciate tradition over trend. From the first bite, it’s clear that the focus here is on quality and authenticity, especially their renowned roasted pork belly.
The star dish, the charbroiled five-layer pork belly, deserves particular praise. The contrast of the crispy, crackling skin and the tender, juicy meat creates a sublime texture that literally melts in your mouth. It’s a generous serving that invites communal dining—best shared among four rather than two, given its richness and fat content. Fans of traditional Chinese BBQ meats will find here the perfect balance of smoky, savory flavors infused with skillful roasting.
Chan Luk Kee’s menu, exclusively in Chinese, reflects its commitment to a local dining experience, further emphasized by its mostly Cantonese-speaking staff. This adds an authentic layer to the meal but suggests bringing along a Cantonese-speaking friend or translation app if you’re unfamiliar with the language. Despite the language barrier, the genuine warmth of the food and atmosphere shines through.
The outdoor seating is a rare bonus in Sheung Shui, offering a relaxed space to enjoy meals with friends amidst a congenial vibe. Patrons consistently highlight other delights like baked claypot rice and various fresh, flavorful dishes full of “work hey” — the vital wok hei breath that defines great Cantonese cooking. Portions are fair, and prices reasonable, making Chan Luk Kee not just a place to eat but a culinary experience rooted in local heritage.
While slightly tucked away and sometimes bustling with eager diners, the effort to locate and wait for a table here is rewarded by hearty, satisfying dishes that honor Cantonese culinary tradition. For those seeking honest, unpretentious flavors of Hong Kong’s local food scene, Chan Luk Kee offers a genuinely honest taste of home.

“ The food here is more like rustic, home-cooked, traditional Chinese style. The pricing is reasonable and portion is fair. It's located a little out of the way, and might take a while or asking to find it. Note: menu is only in Chinese. ”
“ Very delicious Chinese bbq meat. Dishes are fresh and full of “work hey”! ”
“ The reason we went there to eat is because they one of the few restaurants in Sheng Shui to have outdoor seatings. But to our surprise, the roasted pork belly (Charbroiled 5 story pork belly) was devilishly delicious. The meat literally melts in your mouth. However, this dish more suitable for 4 people instead of two because of its fat. The rest of the other dishes are all within HK small restaurant standard. ”
“ Came here for roast pork after watching a TV program recently. Quite overcrowded guest came for same reason. Suggest to come later if not a super fans of roast pork. I am so I waited a table for 30 mins in 6pm. But it was worth as the roast pork really not bad. Crispy at surface and juicy of meat. No compliant. Other dishes were standard no surprise no disappointment. ”
“ Went there few months after moving to Hong Kong, don’t remember what we’ve ordered but it was delicious! Be warned, it’s very local, so no English is spoken here (get Google translate or go with a Cantonese speaking friend). Highly recommend this place ”
