今年北角利苑也入選米芝蓮一星，但對一眾茶客來說，只是平常心，因為利苑很多區都有，不會像阿鴻小吃那樣哄動一番。
仍然是水滾茶靚，仍然精緻味美的點心，仍然是假日總座無虛設。
不過，今天覺得有些點心鹹得很，例如那賣相漂亮，炸得金黃的春卷，香口之餘鹹得有點苦。
希望只是偶有失手，飲茶在這區選擇有限啊。
始終大部份點心都在水準之上，是優質飲茶之選。

這裏裝修過後，地方整潔舒服，假日更座無虛設。不想排隊就早點來，並答應一小時就交檯，就可入座。
叉燒包、牛肉球、燒賣、香煎蘿蔔糕、雞絲春卷、叉燒腸等點心保持水準。
灌湯小籠包則失望，皮厚湯汁少，非常普通。
雙芹魚米餃、生煎嫩雞包和和風牛柳金網卷較有特色。
千層馬拉糕和鮑汁雞腳最美味。
生滾泥孟粥有點稀。
炆伊麵(乾燒) 真做得好，不會油。

周末來飲茶，叫了一些點心，香芋煎薄餅、家鄉石榴果、荷香珍珠雞、蝦腸、叉燒包等，利苑的點心沒有不好吃的，只是份量越來越迷你，真是少吃多滋味。本來很喜歡這裏的叉燒包的，當日發現內裏肥肉很多，十分失望。
試試燙手昆明乳鴨仔，索價八十八元，只得幾塊肉，又不是太特別。

中午與家人來飲茶，大家有共識只叫點心，因為記得這裏的炒粉炒飯都很油腻。
利苑的點心一向都不會令人失望，蜜汁叉燒飽必吃，香口的炸點如雞絲脆春卷、峰巢荔芋盒和芝士千卷都很受歡迎。小食如冰燒三層肉和葱油炸脆雞水準頗高。連千里香葱油餅大家都覺得不太油。也有些如蘿蔔糕就普通水準。一致認為和灣仔利苑差不多，雖然環境較狹窄，但我們來這裏就比較近。信心有所回升，心思思下次可試炒粉炒飯。

星期四姐夫請一家人去食飯,預祝老豆生日,咁我家姐就負責點菜, 佢預先訂左每人一個翅,仲有魚付, 雞,咕嚕肉,菜同埋燒腩仔...燒腩整得好唔在講,最特別係個翅同個魚付, 個翅呢係清拆左d蟹肉同d翅煎香, 個上湯另上, 一啖翅一啖湯咁食, 好好味好特別, 個湯仲要一滴油都見唔到, 勁呀!!! 每位$300, 值得再去食呀! 跟住個魚付呢...唔同出面食0個d咁, 佢個質地好似棉花糖,連埋d魚湯一齊...正! 個雞好似叫唔知咩"瓦餐雞" 咁上下, 都好好味, 反而我麻麻地個咕嚕肉姐, 個味係好嘅, 不過我自己鍾意食外面脆0個隻.最後我地叫左d甜品, 我老豆食杏仁茶, 香到爆,離遠已經聞到,不過我地幾個叫左榴槤布甸,仲正, 好多榴槤肉, 仲好食過滿記0個d呀. 值得一提係,佢地嘅服務真係好好呀!

和同事一行三人午飯，叫了一個四人套餐：有蒸魚，兩個小菜（瑤柱炒桂花同豬面青蒸豆腐），湯（粉葛豬肉），點心(咸水角同蒸粉果)；叧外也叫了牛，芋角和杏仁茶．湯先到，因我對湯不是太喜好，只喝了一碗，感覺唔錯，夠火候，反而煲完湯嘅豬肉點ｄ鼓油幾正．瑤柱炒桂花我覺得最正：炒得夠乾身唔油膩、瑤柱配上芽味道十分好、而且口感爽脆；豬面青都好，用面鼓醬(?)嚟蒸，味道唔錯．蒸魚、牛同點心都ｏｋ就冇特別印象．甜品我冇試所以唔知乜味．總體嚟講食品水準幾好，招呼算殷勸但有ｄ蝦碌，是午膳一個不錯的選擇．價錢也公道．

表弟黎左香港，同家人食飯，訂了位都要等好耐，扣分。加上新年，很少選擇，想叫的又要預訂。最後要了老火湯﹑芋頭南瓜蝦煲﹑千葉豆腐﹑炒鵝肝牛柳粒﹑XO醬螺片﹑上湯豆苗﹑咕嚕肉﹑葱油雞。各樣食物都不錯，只是安排失當。

有次banker 請食飯.....三對四.....我地係客....banker 梗好招呼....叫到成檯都係送...但係似晚飯多過似lunch.....之但係碟碟都好好味...好岩我胃口....攪到佢有佢講....我有我擦.....勁失禮.....臨尾仲叫左一大窩楊枝甘露....超好味.....
之後都有好幾之同同事食飲茶....我覺得樣樣點心都好味.....水準之作....係上菜慢D唧.....
我地次次都有點楊枝甘露...個個食完都話正.....必食推介.....
P.S. 呢間分店既樓底好矮....令人覺得侷促...好在係lunch hour...唔洗坐好耐....

病左幾日，無啖好食，星期日來利苑飲茶都係食左碗泥鯭粥同腸粉。鮑汁雞腳﹑煎堆﹑薄餅﹑燒賣等等都得個睇字，真係慘﹗呢度飲茶夠哂清淨，唔會比隔離枱嘈親，係一大好處。

利苑走中高檔路線, 食物有特色亦高水準, 但價錢算貴. 飲茶食晚飯都算係信心之選, IFC 店要早一星期訂位就可知捧場客多到驚人, 這間晚市較清閒可能係location 問題. 但印象中, 北角利苑比IFC 服務較佳, 食物亦較好. 午市人太多, 俾會幫襯晚市既熟客優先都無可厚非, 唔通叫佢得失o的大客咩?

晚市賣點之一係例湯, 美味足料, 可以放心叫, 但有時會沽清, 最好預定. 海山骨用薄薄南乳塗於帶肥排骨上炸到脆口, 味道食感都佳, 咁多年都會耐唔耐食下. 一般海鮮都唔錯既, 亦時時有特色推介, 其他地方好難食到.

飯後甜品亦係強項, 楊枝甘露不用多介紹, 蛋白杏仁茶濃香中帶甜滑, 簡直完美! 炸麻花點些麥芽糖, 則是家人們的最愛.

Actually, the food and soup are excellent. However, the rice is no good. I wonder how come people not paying attention on rice quality. I found the rice is very very rough. No rice fragance at all ! It is the rice itself, no matter how much water they put, the quality is still very poor. How much would they cost actually !

They only do well to those people that they know and reserve the seat for those people.
Also, all the food are oily and salty.
Men's washroom floor is oily, be careful!!
I will not go to this restaurant any more.

價錢貴唔貴真係唔知喎，因為次次都係老細比錢！但我諗都應該貴！
我只係想講，佢呢間野的"金枝玉露"係一流的，冇第二度地方比佢好食（直頭會上癮），其次係佢ｄ切成一小一小塊的燒肉，好脆，真係好正！

I lived near this area, so I have many chances to visit this Chinese restaurant.
Lunch: It restricts people to have tea within 1 hour, however I saw many people can have tea from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Why??? It is simply because they know the waiter and manager. It does not fair to other customers. Bad service to the rarely see customers.
Dinner: Generally, the food is good. But bad service again.
Environment: located in a "cheap" plaza, can't give high mark.
Food: Best one in that area (compare with Maxims, Hamburg etc...)
Services: Bad
Price: Quite expensive
Cleaninless: OK
Conclusion: Not recommended!
