    What I ordered 吃什麼: Western Japanese Buffet 西式日菜放題

    What I think 吃後感: Really fresh high quality ingredients. All you can eat salads, appetizers, nicely cooked main courses and desserts. Really pleased with the wide range of dishes both traditional and innovative! Wonderful birthday celebration for a friend and a refreshing experience for the palate. The desserts were a real treat. Each of us had 2 rounds of dessert and we voted Creme Brulee the best.

    Price 埋單: HKD$288 (add 10% service charge 加一)

    Ratings 評分: 10/10

    Mostly gimmicks.  Just OK Feb 06, 2011

    Upon recommendation. Booked in advance. The lady I spoke to was highly inefficient. It took 2 minutes and 3 seconds to make a simple reservation. The reservation process alone put me off slightly. Anyway. She shall be excused. I have not taken her efficiency into account when rating FKV's 'service'.

    Service:
    Even after disregarding the receptionist's inefficiency I have to complain again - the waitresses are also rather inefficient. My meal came with bread rolls. I waved them over at least 4 times making the same request - 'could i have the bread please?' but it was only after I don't know how long that my rolls rolled out. Not amused. Nevertheless they were all smiles, especially the Japanese lady, who was very nice and polite, very much like the traditional Japanese woman.

    Environment:
     
    Very nice, really. Light wooden colors, airy and bright. There's an outdoor area for smokers, and large gas heaters. The indoor seats were quite spacious and the chairs were comfy. It also has a very high ceiling and is therefore not noisy. Sadly our 4-seater sat right on top of an open sewage..there was nothing flowing in it but still - it wasn't very nice. Is it meant to be part of the design? If it were, I have nothing to say. If it weren't, but a careless oversight, then it would be good if they could remedy it.

    Food:
     
    The menu is elaborate and clear but is slightly unsightly - worn out. Reprint? Or use a more durable material?

    smilesmileThis is really good. I liked the mixture of different vegetables, mostly simple ones like broccoli, baby corn, red cabbage, capsicum, french beans, cucumber, mixed in a special dressing which was vinegar-based. Lots of different textures and flavours combined in one tall, transparent glass. There was one leaf in particular - which seriously had the texture of - a leaf. a freshly picked leaf. Interesting. Very chewy, thick, and slightly leathery. I didn't appreciate the taste of it but the texture was interesting.

    I had this. Cream pea sauce, not too thick, but it was filling. Pasta was cooked al dente, but i was hugely disappointed when the other ingredients included bacon, mushrooms, artichokes and some nasty-smelling scallops (?) I think they are scallops. There were 3 of them. I distributed them among the other diners. There is really nothing special about this pasta.
    chopstick As for the soup: spicy, peppery, watery. Got onion and potatoes and tomatoes inside. Didn't like it. I don't like tomato-based soups in general. sad but this one was particularly disagreeable. I had a few spoonfuls and let it alone.
    chopstickBoiled and seasoned eggplant: super delicious. Must eat more. Must give more. Mmm. Juicy and soft and mushy on the inside.

    chopstick Grilled salmon with salad and rice set
     
    C ordered this. I tried one piece of salmon and finished what was left of the salad coz, I really like the veg heh. smile This whole thing looks good yeah? Yeah. It looks good. but tastes bland. The salmon - wasn't very fresh. It didn't taste like grilled salmon. It didn't even taste like salmon. It was flat and...I don't recommend the salmon here. Perhaps that's why they drizzled so much salad oil on top of this dish - because the salty/sour salad oil covers the blandness of the salmon. Salad oil mixed with rice or veg is yummy too, but it's fattening! ><

    chopstickMackerel fish, sashimi, tempura and appetizer rice set with
     
    E had this. Her comments: miso soup not strong enough, perhaps this is due to the fact that Farm Kitchen Vegi is a fusion Japanese restaurant and westerners prefer their miso soup prepared this way? Appetizer consisted of taro, carrot, yam, pork, lotus bulb, radishes, green beans, potatoes. Mackerel tasted just like any other grilled mackerel from any other Japanese restaurant. In other words, no surprises. Tempura was average. Did not go wrong here, thank God.

    chopstickDeep-fried crab cake, grilled salmon with pesto and mashed potatoes, appetizer, with bread rolls.
     
    J ordered this. Crab cake was yummy because the exterior was very crisp and the interior was very soft. But that is just about how good it is. J said this item didn't really taste crabby at all. It was more like a deep fried potato cake. Pity. It just lost all its purpose there. Grilled salmon I had a bite of. No salmon taste, again. Expected. No expectations after tasting the grilled salmon. The pesto sauce was delicious though! Very strong, intense, grainy, and basil. lol The salmon for some reason perched onto of a small scoop of mashed potatoes. Didn't think highly of them either. So its' just the pesto sauce that tastes yummy.

    Conclusion:
    No urgent need to return. After all TST's not exactly the most convenient place for me to dine. If you wanna try the classic veg cup, sure - come but by all means don't hold your expectations too high for the other items. Not sure what dinner is like but it's not cheap either. To me, this whole organic/interesting decor/nice presentation thing is a gimmick, food quality isn't high but I know I shouldn't expect too much for the price they're charging. Hmm.

    Another comment: the veg - you can purchase at the supermarket and make your own dressing at home. DIY. So much cheaper.

    Departing thoughts: Organic. Is that why the salmon tastes different...?

    When I first saw the restaurant name, I assumed it was Vegetarian until I saw pictures from the review.

    However, they serve very fine dishes under the all you can eat menu.

    There was so much choice, ranging from carpaccio's, fried items, western dishes to cheese fondue.

    There is also a salad bar.

    I've never been a great fan of restaurants which focus on 'health food' and have modern decor, but after being dragged into this Organic/ Japanese-Western Fusion restaurant, I was pleasantly surprised.shocked

    Most importantly, it’s an ‘all you can eat’ menu for HK$288 ($150 for children). The menu is pretty good: including sashimi, tempura, Japanese style pasta, western soup, appetizers, a lot of vegetable dishes, salads, chicken, beef and pork. There is also a free salad bar. A praise worthy point is that there is no time limit (last order is at 10:30 p.m.).lol

    I ordered a Cream Croquet, French Onion Soup, ‘Onsen Tamago Cabonara Pasta’, assorted sashimi (well, marinated with herbs actually), mixed tempura, steamed organic vegetable, lotus root and pork ‘sandwich’ and dessert. They all taste very good.chopstick

    The shrimp tempura is especially good – better than many ‘normal’ Japanese restaurants.

    Very friendly and efficient service: I believe all the waitresses there have tried everything on their menu – you can trust their recommendations.

    Finally someone added this shop on Openrice!
    Anyway we came here mostly because we wanted to try a few Japanese imported vegetables and other seafood or meat dishes. Some dishes aren't executed that well here to be honest, but there are a few items which were captivating.
    For $258/person, this is probably one of the bargains within Hong Kong.
