Price Range £10–20

Home Kong CLS in Stockport serves up a mix of Hong Kong-style cha chaan teng classics alongside a hot pot experience that’s surprisingly approachable for the area. Located in Vernon Mill on Mersey Street, it’s a spot that feels unexpectedly lively and welcoming, given its somewhat industrial setting.

This place is best for those who crave bold, spicy flavors and want to explore authentic Hong Kong café staples and hot pot without leaving town. The kitchen lets you dial in your preferred spice level, so whether you’re a heat seeker or keen on milder dishes, Home Kong CLS accommodates well—something locals appreciate, especially families visiting with kids or groups with mixed spice tolerance.

The chicken hot pot stands out as the house specialty. It arrives in two stages—first the chicken itself in a rich, signature sauce, followed by the broth which you can customize with ingredients like meatballs, fresh seafood, or noodles. This hands-on, gradual enjoyment encourages a more social, relaxed meal rather than a rushed dinner. Beyond the hot pot, there are various cha chaan teng favorites such as chilli chicken, beef noodles, and refreshing iced tea, making it easy to mix and match according to appetite and mood.

Expect a friendly, casual atmosphere where staff are genuinely eager to explain the menu, which is perfect for newcomers or those curious about Hong Kong flavors. Portions hit a comfortable middle ground—not too large, not too small—helping the meal feel just right rather than overwhelming. The vibe inside leans informal with a bustling café energy, making it a good spot to pop in for a casual lunch or early evening meal.

Parking nearby tends to be straightforward, making it convenient for those driving in from across Stockport or beyond. The setting might not be the plushest, but the value for money and authentic tastes fill that gap convincingly.

Best time to visit: Lunch or early evening when the crowd is smaller and you can take your time with the hot pot experience. It’s also a suitable spot for groups looking to share a variety of dishes in a relaxed, welcoming setting.

Food was really tasty, the spice has a nice kick and really good flavour. Love the value too for just £1 more you can get a drink, and you can add a side for a bit extra. Portions were just right, friendly vibe as well, definitely a place I’d come back to again.

It was absolutely incredible and both the chicken pot and hotpot were amazing The beef and fish filets were the best in town! We also tried the lamb and I would like to give 10 stars for it ! I really love this place Parking was easy as well

Really lovely chicken hotpot. The server explained how it works as well we're newcomers, and they were very friendly! You're given a menu to select your spice level, ingredients for the hotpot and side dishes. There are two phases to the meal Firstly, you get a chicken pot with pieces of chicken inside covered in their special sauce! It was so nice! Once you've finished with the chicken (leave the sauce in there!), they add chicken stock onto your pot which turns it into an Asian style hotpot. They bring the ingredients you chose beforehand on the menu, and you then add these ingredients into the hotpot. Honestly a really unique concept and I would definitely go again!

Very delicious chicken hot pot. The owner is very nice. Will be back to try the spicy chicken hot pot. ( this times with my little boy, so only had a not spicy one.)

Didn't have much expectations, I think it can be hit or miss depending on what you order. I only went for their lunch soup noodle deal with a snack and drink for 16. Hot and sour soup noodle is recommended, go for at least medium spicy, if you can't handle spice then maybe skip this place. Portions are about average for the price, snacks I like the bandit wings. They are famous for their dinner time chicken hotpot, maybe one day will try

Auditing my client in Stockport, first time here, staying in Premier Inn, this shop is just a few minutes driving distance. Ordered a set dinner for sour & spicy noodles with beef, lobster ball, shredded chicken, little side dish for cumin chicken wings… good taste and decent portions, all value for money, staff is extremely friendly

Casual, canteen-style HK café, 30 seconds from Dunelm. You build your own noodle soup, picking the base, spice level, noodle type, garnishing, and meats/fish ball/veg, etc. The combo deal is really good value! The owner was super kind. We ate the braised pork rice, pig ears and a noodle soup, which were all great. Recommend if you want casual, tasty lunch in Stockport! 我係鬼妹,麻辣湯底同小辣係just right(still 好L辣)

When you are walking in you are getting a card with dishes and sharpie. You need to cross what you don’t want and mark what you want what was pretty cool and nice way of getting to know the place and the vibe. Very cosy and family atmosphere. Felt like mainly people from Hong Kong eat there as it was foreign language however we felt really welcomed and comfortable too :) When we walked in it looked like in one of the hong kong movies in local food place :) Lovely people,lovely food and even vegan option for me during lunch hours. We had some noodles and my partner had meat when I had tofu and we came out talking how delicious it was.
