Fat J
7 people recommend, 2 warn against itvia r/HongKong11 comments cited below
What people say, in short
Many commenters praise the char siu, a couple call it budget-friendly for the quality, and one says it beats typical char siu. The queue is the main caveat: many commenters mention it, and a couple say the wait isn't worth it. One commenter says the char siu is best eaten in the restaurant rather than as takeaway, while another finds takeaway an easy way to skip the line. One diner feels it is mediocre and doesn't see the hype, and one says Dragon State is cheaper with a better choice of roast meats.
