Honestly, you'll struggle to find anything truly local right next to the stadium. Kowloon Tsai's a bit of a mixed bag in that respect. Your best bet is to walk a bit further out – maybe 15-20 minutes – towards the residential areas. You'll find loads of smaller, family-run places tucked away on side streets. Look for places with mostly locals eating there; that's your best indicator. Avoid bright lights and English menus. Don't be afraid to just point at things on the menu if you can't read Cantonese – most places are pretty friendly. You might even stumble onto some amazing little places that way! Good luck with your search for noodle nirvana!

The char siu buns are indeed legendary, but don't sleep on the har gow. They're usually a safe bet.
