What people say, in short
Several commenters recommend The Chairman, with one calling it the consistent best Cantonese choice in Hong Kong and another praising its roast goose. Several commenters say booking is hard, including one who could never book even through hotels, while a commenter says reservations usually come quickly and seats on the day are fairly easy for regulars. One diner finds the char siu good but below Fook Lam Moon's, and another calls it overrated and not memorable. One commenter finds it pricey for what they see as food-court-style cooking.
