Note: Not in HK, but literally a stone's throw away, easy to get to and delicious.
Outdoor area with plastic furniture in a sort of parking area near a health center and hotel that starts up around 6 PM. Run by Uyger folks, little Mandarin spoken, basic English understood (ie. "bread"). Make their own "Nang" bread in the oven outside (sort of like a Tandoor), with charcoal grill for meats/veggies. Pick desired meats/veggies out of fridges that have been set up, put them in a basket and give said basket to the grill master. Can tell grill master not spicy "bu la", little spicy "xiao la" or say nothing (which means it will have a generous helping of crushed chili and cumin - glorious). Sit at a table that is empty and the food will find you when its ready. My favorites are the lamb kebabs/ribs, nang and eggplant (veggies also very tasty). Eggplant takes at least 15 minutes, but is soft, well spiced with just enough garlic but not overkill.
They also have shisha and serve tea, never tried former. If not busy they'll buy you bottles of water and tack it onto the bill. Otherwise, walk past the place to end of the alley, turn left (nowhere else to turn) and the last shop on the left is a convenience store where one can buy beers/soft drinks.
Nearby landmark is the Vienna Hotel which is on Chunfeng Road, near Xin An Road. Show the Chinese address to cabbie (below).
维也纳酒店（深圳春风路店）深圳罗湖区春风路151号.
Directions: When facing the front of the hotel turn to your right and walk down no more than 50-100 meters, Xin An Lu will be on your left (or just ask a kind passerby). 春风路 (Chunfeng Lu - pronounced "Choon fung loo" - say it fast) and 新安路 (Xin An Lu - pronounced "Shin ahn loo" -say it fast) and Vienna Hotel pronounced "Way N Nah Joe Dee N" - say it fast and the streets mentioned above.
