Hong Kong Choi has one of the most unusual menus in the whole city
There is no other restaurant in Greater Manchester quite like Hong Kong Choi. There just isn’t. It is unique.
However, what Britta, her dad Simon, her mum Yvette and chefs William and Ah Yip do here is take this casual style of cooking and elevate it. Between them are decades of experience at the stove, mostly at five-star hotels, and you can tell. “We’ve grown the business through word of mouth,” Britta says. “That’s kind of how we wanted to do it in the first place, just slowly grow it.” She says the first few weeks they were open were ‘kind of quiet’. But that was about it. By their first Chinese New Year in 2022, they were pretty set. “We never did any advertising. We didn’t need to, and didn’t really want to. We wanted to create a community around us naturally.
Having a restaurant has indeed been invaluable for the family in becoming the centre of a community of this new wave of arrivals from Hong Kong. “It’s been so wonderful,” she says. “The woman over there talking to my mom? She used to be a customer, she lives down the road, and had moved here from Hong Kong with her family. Now she works here with us. People [from the Hong Kong community] come and say ‘let us know how we can help’.
