Being a chef, you're always busy, so not much time. Their waiting list is very long.

Olivier Elzer

chef, L'envol and Clarence · on Fork Lore

I've been actually in the old version one, but not in the new one. Just for the sake of trying what has really changed. It's worth trying.

To discover the crab. They need to put back the razor clam on the menu, with the glass noodles.

Danny Yip and his team just make so many good dishes. I really enjoy the char siu and crab.

In the one bite of char siu that each guest is served, you can taste the distinct flavour of the marinade and you get the perfect meat-to-fat ratio and amount of char.

My favourite char siu is from The Chairman. It's smoky, fatty and fragrant.

the chef-owner of Seoul's two-MICHELIN-starred Mingles · on Michelin Guide

I have no hesitation picking The Chairman as my favourite place in Hong Kong. Mr. Danny Yip is a restaurateur I personally respect so much. It’s hard to pick just one dish as a signature or favourite because every time I visit, I am impressed by the amount of effort behind every dish.
