Affordable and Attentive Shanghai Noodles in Central.

Luk Yau (Central) 1/F, 45A Graham Street, Soho, Central The restaurant has no extra decorations, with a bright and simple ambiance. Seats by the window overlook the Graham Street mural. The staff is friendly, and the prices are reasonable. Luk Yau Spicy Chicken Soup Shanghai Noodles $88 The signature chicken soup is enhanced with homemade chili sauce, available in mild/medium/hot levels. The flavor is delicate and doesn't overpower the freshness of the ingredients. The chicken breast is marinated with spices and then slow-cooked to be flavorful and tender. Crispy wood ear mushrooms and slightly seasoned lotus root add multiple textures to the noodle soup. Different from the usual Shanghai noodles, here they serve flat noodles tailored to the owner's preference, which are excellent for holding the soup. Luk Yau Seafood Fish Soup Shanghai Noodles $108 The fish soup is not just about the three delicacies; the owner selects a variety of seafood based on the season to simmer. The taste is not as strong as the chicken soup, making it very smooth to drink. It comes with crab meat, fresh shrimp, and squid, each individually pan-fried and seasoned, offering a fresh, sweet, and bouncy texture. A seemingly simple bowl of noodle soup, but every detail reflects the thoughtfulness of the restaurant. Crab Meat Golden Lotus Root $38 An unexpected combination that is both refreshing and flavorful. Caramelized Sweet Potato $42 After the noodles, if you want something sweet, consider this healthy option. Handmade Cold Brew Tea $18 Although there are not many drink options, the cold brew tea has a strong flavor, perfect for cleansing the palate. If you can't finish it, you can take it away and enjoy it slowly.
