Honestly? Skip the fancy places. Head to Mong Kok. It's a total chaos of a market, but the little dai pai dongs tucked away in the side streets? That's where the magic happens. You'll find places with menus almost entirely in Cantonese, maybe a few pictures, but the food... forget about it. It's incredible. Just wander around, look for places packed with locals, and don't be afraid to point at pictures or use a translation app if you need to. You'll find something amazing, I guarantee it. Prepare for a possibly intense sensory overload, though. Mong Kok isn't exactly known for its delicate ambiance.

Honestly, ditch the touristy areas around the MTR station. Wander a bit further inland. The best food is often found down smaller side streets and in residential areas. Look for places packed with locals – that's your best indicator. Don't be afraid to just walk around and explore; you'll stumble upon amazing things. Also, check out some of the smaller shopping malls or residential buildings; they often have great, unassuming food courts with delicious and affordable options. Happy eating!
