best burger i've had so far

Came here on a Saturday night, first timer, was worried at first about this place being packed due to the fact that it was the weekends, we got to the restaurant at around 7 and there were one or two tables left, lucky us! Staff was very friendly, helped us to what ever we wanted, great service! Surrounding was awesome too, they had couches (like they have at Starbucks or pacific coffee) as well, so great place for those who want to chat for a bit.

We ordered a Portobello cheese burger & melted cheese fries for two of us to share (both girls) proportion was perfect!

Burger was deeelicious! the patty was succulent and juicy, sauce was just right, salad was great! one thing they could improve is the choice of buns, as i don't really like sesame seeds on my buns >.<

Fries was oh-so-good! served to us hot, the cheese was perfect, just melted to perfection, no burnt bits

Canot wait until I go back try out their fois gras beef burger and their soft shell crab burger! Highly recommended! Spent around $150 for two people including a Snapple.

The first time I came upon this restaurant was two years ago, the first time I had their udon I was absolutely blown away! It was the best udon I've ever tasted at the time. Since then, I tried other udon at other japanese restaurants as well as in the hunt of great udon in other countries (after trying the udon here, it made me passionate about eating udon!) but it was just not the same, two years after, I STILL THINK THIS IS THE BEST UDON PLACE EVER!

The best udon would be the beef soup noodle, made to perfection. The bowl is always served hot, the udon itself is nice and bouncy and chewy, the soup is just unexplainable, deeelicious! There are different grades of beef to pick from, I've tried all of em but personally, theres not much of a difference there.

The only thing I don't like about this restaurant is that its too small, always have to line up during dinner time >.<, but hey, I guess its well worth it for a great bowl of udon, right? The waiters there are polite, their always busy though, no one ever picks up for phone. If you want to make reservations, try to book as early as possible, last time when they actually picked up to recieve my call, they told me I had to wait one week in advance for a table, yiks!!

had a nice meal here in general, sad that we couldn't see the lighting display due to the foggy weather though, must come here some other time to do so!

for five people we had:
Beef on prawn crackers
spring rolls
Roast chicken with red sauce (larm yu sauce)
Big head prawns (one for each person)
Grilled Eel
Vegetable curry with garlic bread

wow, that looks like a long list! anyways, we're a long term customer here at restaurant and this is what our family normally orders every single time we eat at this restaurant due to the fact that these are the best dishes!

Appitizers:
beef on prawns crackers are really nice as they compliment each other, theres never enough to go around, so if you go as a whole group, makes sure you order enough to satisfy!
spring rolls are really nice as well, served to us when its still burning hot *make sure you watch that tongue*, its served with raw lettuces on the side, perfect when you wrap the lettuces around your spring roll and dip it in there fish sauce

Mains:
Roast chicken with red sauce (larm yu sauce), the sauce is absolutely divine! some people may not like it though, due to the special taste to it. The chicken itself is yummy too, the skin is really crunchy and the meat is nice and juicy, nice and hot when they served it to us.
Big head prawns, our father was too kind ordering one prawn for one person, its delicious yet again, but for girls who don't want to eat that much, you can always go halves with your girlfriend.
Vegetable curry with garlic bread, my all time favourite, you HAVE TO ORDER THIS WITH GARLIC BREAD! you'll understand why once you taste the aromatic curry, don't think you can call it spicy, so its alright for kids too. Also the beef brisket curry is yummy too, they alway make the brisket nice and soft
Grilled Eel, can't say much due to the fact I don't eat eel, but do try if you do eat eel, I guess there is a reason why my family has been ordering this dish for years, right?

Drinks:
to compliment your meal you might want to try and order the coconut drink thats served from an actual coconut and lime soda, nice and light.

First timer to the restaurant, we felt like eating something western but couldn't be bothered going out to our normal dining spots out of sum jeng.

We ordered two set meals:
Ribs with fat fries &
Peppers wrapped with chicken

the ribs i thought was alright, bit too dry though had lots of fatty bits. they had a side of gravy with the ribs, but the sauce they already had on the ribs was different to the gravy? that i don't get, but it was great for dipping my fat fries i guess. meal was very original.

peppers with chicken was alright, bit too original as well I though, nothing special, personally i thought the vegetables on the side was more delicious.

soup: was so so, didn't even bother asking us what soups there was to choose from. Drinks came with our meals, you'd thing at a 'cafe' they'd make reasonable coffee right? wrong. its was bad, drank two sips, didn't even finish it so that was a bit of a let down for me. also the meal came with dessert, they gave us a scoop of black-sesame flavored ice cream, bit weird for my liking to have after a western meal.

atmosphere would've been great for couples wanting a romantic evening, but due to the fact that they had an Indonesian store behind their restaurant and seeing it was a Sunday, all the family maids came out to play and sang karaoke really loud..... Very disappointing for such a nice store location, nice and discrete.

Customer service was appalling!! didn't get much attention at all, we were outside waiting to be served, asked for the menu but the waiter told us to get it ourselves!

Would definitely not recommend to friends to try this restaurant.

first of all, don't even know if the waiters really understand english or cantonese properly, talking to them felt like talking to a 4 year old.
we ordered steak with scallops, but they gave us steak with lobster instead. The steak didn't really have any taste to it really. The best thing on that plate was their steamed vegetables =____="
their soho no.8 salad was alright, but nothing special to it, just your average salad that you can buy at any odd supermarket.
we then ordered their scallop risotto, the scallops tasted quite nice but the risotto was disgusting, it wasn't even cooked properly, can even describe their risotto as crunchy plus it tasted like they just added salt and cream to it.
we didn't get to see their dessert menu because at that point all we wanted to do was leave.

overall it was quite disapointing, would never go back again
