Was recommended this little Thai place some time ago and decided to give it a try. It was a small family run place by a Thai family. The place is a bit old fits somewhat a hole in the wall description. A very nice little lady helping in the front speaks Thai, Cantonese and Mandarin. Food was great and authentic. I got hooked on the food and been wanting to go back again and again. The minced pork omelet was delicious and a must try. …Read More

My colleague recommended this place where I couldn’t even find it on the map of this app. After some digging in google map, I’ve located this place. When I first walked in, I had some reservations as it looked a bit scary. Only two people were eating at a small foldable table right outside so decided to do takeaway. Ordered a whole bunch of ingredients as this type of food is cheap. Got home and started to dig in. To my surprise, the food was good better than another 車仔麵place I had in Taipa. The Lo Mein is nice with just enough flavor without over powering the ingredients. The potatoes were nice and soft with flavor infused within. Definitely will order this place again. …Read More

A local cha chiang tang Hei Lin is considered one of the best in town. This place is not far behind. The food is actually pretty good here and pricing is cheaper. The taste is consistent and the ladies are pretty nice. Good place for something quick and decent. …Read More

I was lucky to be treated to a nice birthday dinner here. Service was good as expected given the profile and positioning of the restaurant. We’ve ordered the larger set menu (only two choices) and couldn’t believe it took more than 2 hours to finish. Most of the food presented were yummy especially the soup. However, there are many other places with same quality but at a much lower price point. …Read More

Been told this place is worth the try and was fortunate enough to be taken to this place to celebrate my birthday. Service didn’t match the positioning as it was difficult to get the attention of the staff when needed. Food was okay but not too exceptional as expected. Tried the Gin Trolley where they were promoting but the drinks were pretty bland. I was given a “tour” of the bar where the staff showed me the variety of Gins - that was pretty nice. …Read More

I was excited when I found out there is a good option for American food. Boy was I disappointed. Although the menu there offers a decent amount of American food, the food there is mediocre. It tasted like mass produced food from a factory. If anyone of from the states, this place tastes like Applebee’s. Home cooking probably can taste or even better than here. …Read More

I do like instant noodles but the toppings here can take the noodles to a different level. The garlic diced pork and pork neck are just so tasty. The curry paste in the jar on each table can add some spiciness if you like it hot. My second visit, I’ve ordered and finished 4 dishes. The ladies there are great. Very kind and patient!…Read More

I was quite impressed with the quality of the food and the amount of choices when I’ve first tried their brunch. The seafood was fresh, large amount of meat selection and the free flow of bubbles(champagne) were great. Normally the dessert section at most of the brunch or buffet places are so so but this place had a great variety of desserts and the quality was wonderful. After they have reopened due to the shut down because of COVID19, the selection of food was limited and quality just isn’t the same anymore. Looking forward to the good old days....…Read More

I was craving for a nice brunch for sometime and my friend recommended Zuma. Decided to give it a try and I was delighted to see the quality of food. Although to there were plenty of hot food, I wish the sushi selection was bigger. Very limited and seafood wasn’t too fresh. Maybe some ramen would be great, too. Overall, it was a great place for expat. …Read More

I’ve been craving sushi lately after having some great sushi at another restaurant. Saw this place on open rice and it is a recommended place by Michelin. Decided to give it a try. I was pleasantly surprised by the inexpensive pricing for lunch set and the quality. Most of the sushi’s are seasoned with interesting twist. The tuna roll with fried onions was yummy!…Read More

I have been craving for Dai Pai Dong food lately so needed to satisfy my craving. It was good to see there were quite a bit of customers given the situation in Hong Kong. The deco is fun and the staff was good despite it was busy. Love the battle bowls for beer!…Read More

Great place for a bite after a nice hike. Came here for the outdoor seating and memories of my father. My father took me here when I was very young. I remember the Hainan Chicken Rice songs to order it. Service was okay but the staff are too busy running around giving guests the uneasy feelings. Plenty of Indian food options but didn’t get a chance to order. Will try next trip. …Read More

I wanted the weekend brunch with free flow but the craving for a good pizza took over me. Fini’s is one of the best places for pizza. The Bronx hits the spot. Fried calamari was great and tiramisu was a bit jelly like and not too sweet. Looking forward to my next visit. …Read More

I’ve been hearing and seeing some social media about the hype of his standing Japanese BBQ place also been persuaded to try. Went there early to avoid a long wait. Ordered different types of meats to try different things. Overall taste is “normal” but not exceptional. This place’s pitch is that the meat is inexpensive and affordable. Indeed the meat is affordable but it is certainly not “cheaper” than sitting restaurants. I could get better quality meat at the same price point elsewhere. They do need some small plates for holding the meats. Selection of drinks was limited where you have to buy them from a vending machine. …Read More

Decided to spend my 40th birthday dinner here as I know the food at Robuchon never disappoint. The server seemed a bit new but he did his best. The bread basket is always one of my favors and must get both types of butter to go with the bread. The wine glasses used were top quality which makes drinking wine at other places difficult to enjoy. I don’t remember the portions were big but the items we’ve ordered were much larger than expected. Looking forward to my next visit. …Read More
