More information on Bow Hon

Bow Hon is not fancy. As a matter of fact, it is something of a dive, but it is clean and the wait staff is efficient negotiating the crowd of locals and tourists who crowd the generic tables and chairs. Clay pot cooking is what brings the folks in. Flavorful dishes are slow cooked in that traditional Chinese way that brings out the best in vegetables, seafood, beef, chicken and lamb. There are non-clay pot dishes here, including nourishing and hearty noodle soups, but those can wait. The clay pot cooking does not get any better than right here.Takeaway available.
