My advice: Review your drink charges, but very good, high quality food.As a background, my firm held our Chinese New Year party at Oolaa - booked out the entire veneu a few months back and the food was excellent. We also have had catering done by Oolaa - wraps, sandwiches, salads - excellent taste, very good food.Took my wife here for breakfast - we had Bruschetta and brekkie burrito. Food was good, good taste, my wife's only complaint was the bread did not taste like sourdough - it's not sour

Took my wife here for breakfast - we had Bruschetta and brekkie burrito. Food was good, good taste, my wife's only complaint was the bread did not taste like sourdough - it's not sour like SF sourdough. My brekkie burrito was nice, except it tasted almost like a sausage/bacon burrito, eggs were missing and so i even had to order a side order of eggs. Great for you meat lovers!!!
Oolaa does good presentation, food tastes good, is hot, clean, consistent quality.
My issue was at the very end of the meal. Upon sitting down, my wife had orders 'hot water with lemon.' She received a pot of hot water, a hot water cup and a slice of lemon. When we got the bill at the end, there was a CHARGE of HK$30 for the hot water.
I have no issues paying - but come on - hot water, with a slice of lemon, a $30 charge??? The hot water was almost 30% of her brushetta order ($95). After a 3 min discussion and debate with the waitress, the charge was removed, but a bad taste was left in my mouth.
It's as if the restaurant is after your money first, good food second - and service is weak.
Receipt attached. Be warned. Check your bill - my black coffee was HK$40 a cup - that's FUEL (IFC) type charges and I didn't even get espresso shots!
Good food though. Good space - definitely good for families and kids. It's unfortunate they wanted to charge for hot water, what's next, charging for salt & pepper?
