They have a website, but it's the goose that's famous:

Yung Kee is in the 'Central' district, a short walk from the subway station.

They sell the geese by halves and wholes - so the portions are pretty big. But well worth it! The last time we were there, the waiting time was about 25 mins (at 20:00hrs)

Their number is: 2522-1624

For Peking Duck we always go to Spring Deer in Mody Road on Kowloon side. Good luck.

One of the most famous and popular Roast Goose restaurant is Yue Kee in Sham Tseng.

Take MTR to Tsing Yi (on the Tung Chung line), then take 308A and/or 308M (confirm with driver) to Sham Tseng Village. Just say "Sham Tseng Roast Goose" or "Sham Tseng Siu Oar", and the driver will understand.

Yue Kee's address is 9 Sham Hong Road. It's the main street in Sham Tseng Village, and there are several other restaurants selling the same. Make sure you have San Miguel Draught Lager to go with it.

Sorry, the 308A/M are Green 16-seat Public Light Bus routes. They take Octopus too.

BTW, "Sham Tseng" is actually pronounced "Sum Jeng". So, you're looking for "Sum Jeng Siu Oar".

Not sure of actual cost, but you can also take a green taxi from either Tsing Yi MTR or Tsuen Wan MTR. There are buses too, but it may be hard to find the bus stop near the Tsuen Wan MTR for Sham Tseng.

Like Peteralan, we also went to Spring Deer and thought it was terrific. The two of us ate a whole duck, to our surprise.

I tried the Peking Duck at Spring Deer restaurant, and I wouldn't recommend it. The $285 hkd duck wasn't delicious at all; my duck had a thick layer of fat. The "tortilla" wraps were inedible.

Yung Kee geese are also not good. If you are going to try it, order half instead of the whole goose.
