Came here for a late dinner and i must say the decor of this place is great. Very Thai themed and there's even outdoor terrace seating for smokers.

Food: Menu was pretty extensive with english translations and pictures - made ordering very easy.

Chicken with egg and broad noodles: Pretty good and huge portions for sharing. I thought it only tasted good with beef, but the chicken turned out very good, with good amounts of chicken (not dry).

Pan fried fish filets with lemongrass and other stuff: This did not appeal to my tastebuds, just tasted insanely flavored - it was 50% fish filets and 50% all these seasoning like things i dont know names of, but chili pepers, lemon grass, leaves of all sorts etc. This might appeal to those who really like very heavily seasoned food? The fish filets themselves were not as large and thick as i prefer and semi dry...

Cabbage greens with garlic: This was like eating a cabbage/brussels sprouts type of vegetable. The picture looked good and the dish looks good when it arrives, but the texture is so much tougher than I'd expect, so it was a lot of work just trying to chew it.... Flavor with garlic was good though.

Deep fried taro cakes (appetizer): This was yum! Vegetarian too so had bits of mushroom mixed in the taro, and the fryedness was perfect, paired with this sweet/sour tamarind type of sauce.

They have a large selection of desserts including little cakes and treats that are like $8 each, so you can mix and match. The mango with sticky red rice was great! Sweet mango chunks (in season now) with piping hot red sticky rice with this white sweet sauce all over.

Sizing it up: This place is pretty decent, i have to try out other dishes next time to get a better picture of whether i really like this restaurant or not. Liked the decor and service was fine.

Pretty good meal in SOHO Smile Jun 20, 2010  
Share with MessengerShare on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Italian | Western Restaurant | Wine | Pizza

Came here for dinner while walking around SOHO trying to get some decent food w/o getting ripped off. Ended up sitting at the bar since we didnt have a reservation, but didn't change a thing in terms of quality of service

Food:
Mushroom and truffle fettucine: YUM! smile Came loaded with morsels of portabello mushroom and the truffle part was grounded and with a layer of olive oil and basic seasoning, this was great. Pasta was al dente and flavor was on point. Slightly oily for me, but flavor won me over.

Rib-eye steak: Came paired with green beans and roasted potatoes and two sun dried tomatoes. Pretty hearty portion, steak was decent, nothing spectacular. Liked the sides more.

Warm chocolate cake with hazelnut ice cream: Wasn't what I expected, it was just a very stick-to-your-teeth type of cake. Very chocolatey and dense. Ice cream was yum.

Service: Great service, won me over. The waiters are all attentive and knowledgeable on wine recommendations. They also have a pretty decent wine list to choose from.

Sizing it up: I enjoyed the food and the service was attentive. The decor of the place is very trendy and chic. I liked the fact that it isnt open air, so you can enjoy the meal with air conditioning. Eveerything was also fairly priced, so value was good for the type of experience, would come again.

Good dependable ramen & gyoza Smile Jun 03, 2010  
Share with MessengerShare on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Japanese | Ramen

Came here for lunch. Have been here ages ago, and remembered it was a good experience so decided to find this place tucked away in Granville Rd in TST. Overall, good value lunch sets for $58/$68, including an appetizer and/or soft drink.

chopstick Regular char siu ramen in Miso soup base: Very yum smile and came piping hot. Especially enjoyed the texture of the noodles. Miso soup base was also very tasty. The char siu slice is just ok, can be softer? Came with seaweed, corn, bean sprouts, half an egg and those picked bamboo strips. At first, thought it was a normal portion, but ended up being a very big portion and could not finish due to the toppings.

chopstick Gyoza: Also very good! Finally a place that makes decent gyoza. The skin was nice and soft/silky while there was a nicely pan fried side. Also the filling was very authentic and quite hefty. No complaints here!

Overall good experience here. The service was prompt; food was great. The space isn't that large, and the kitchen is exposed, so you will probably end up smelling like ramen/gyoza, but its still worth it for the quality of food here. Recommend for sure.

Just came here for dinner. Was anxious to try this HK style cafe. The decor is very cute with the blue themed tiles; mirrors; old-school TV; ceiling fans; stained glass lights; old-school green window shades; and other HK style knick knacks everywhere. Seating is best/most spacious in the booths.

Food: In terms of value, its best to order the combos which are like $33 or $38 for lunch/dinner. This compares to a milk tea which a la carte would cost $18 and a noodle a la carte for around $38 or so. There's also a variety of breakfast combos as well.

chopstickSpecial combo (Chicken pie immersed in green pea soup; Banana walnut pancakes in caramel sauce; Choice of tea/coffee for $38)

Chicken pie...: the crust on this was superb, similar to the crust on their egg tarts. Inside was a small helping of chicken/ham. the pea soup was also good too and paired well with the bites of chicken pie. this was surprisingly good.

Pancakes: Delicious and everything worked well w/ each other! Took longer for this order to arrive since it is made fresh. The pancakes came with 2 thick ones stacked on top of each other. Diced bananas and walnuts on top with a caramel sauce drizzled everywhere. I preferred the thickness of the pancakes, made the entire thing taste like a dessert.

Milk tea: the standard HK style. need to add sugar cubes your own from their own sugar cube tin on each table.

chopstickFried chicken drumstick with fruit salad: This was okay. I liked the crispiness of the skin and the seasoning on it. The chicken meat was also tasty, although some parts were drier than others.

chopstick Pork liver ramen: I loved the broth in this - not the soup base from the ramen pack, but a in-house made liver broth that was oozing with the pork liver flavor. Funny thing, I loved the broth and ramen, but I personally am not a fan of liver, so I ate everything but the liver, which I felt bad about. There were also pieces of diced ginger and green peas in the soup. Ramen came with the packaged soup base and sesame oil on the side in case you want to further flavor/customize the taste, but in my opinion the broth can hold its own.

chopstick Egg sandwich: Yum, generous portions of scrambled egg, slightly oozy. Good deal for $18.

Service: Much better service than the standard HK cafe with a good number of waiters around. Cute outfits with white shirts and checkered blue themed pants which matched with the overall decor. English menus available, but does not include all the good combos, recommendations, or specialties. Accepts credit card.

Sizing it up: Very refreshing to find a themed HK style cafe with good food at a fair price (I came with a very hungry friend so meal ended up to be $140 total). I find it more homey and at a better pace than the usual Tsui Wah which is overwhelming and too bustling at times. Also the menu offerings has all the good craved HK basics but also has enough unique offerings that make it stand out from the crowd. Was a pleasant visit, will come again.

Came here for a light dinner/snack before a movie.

Food: Ordered a few sushi which was discounted due to the time and a ramen noodle. The sushi didn't taste that fresh, which didn't surprise me considering it was discounted...the spicy tuna sushi in particular was disappointing. I also ordered a scallop sashimi that's supposed to be extra large, but it was just 2 scallops diced 4-way....
In terms of ramen, had a spicy brothed one with enoki mushrooms, seaweed. The broth and noodles were pretty good. Want to try more off the menu before disregarding this place. I looked over to other ppl's food, which looked a bit more promising.

Service: decent, seated next to the storage room, so worst seat in the house... waiters kept going back and forth behind me... there were booths which seem to be the way to go here.
