There was a big crowd of 12+ people next to our table. V noisy as one or two of them started yelling or laughing in full force. Food: ok la. The egg roll tasted alright but the carb meat crackers were pretty bland. The Raw fish not as good as other reviewers suggested - one may find fishy smell with one or two of sushi among a plate of 10 or the sashimi bowl. Deep fried yakitori were underwhelming. Calms in saki tasted ok but the calms didn’t have much meat. The baked oysters were bland too. Drink: The plum wine and sake were good, and they were the best tasting items for the night. …Read More

We have always wanted to support independent restaurants with a heart. my second time in a month but it failed me badly. we ordered from the lunch menu 2 soup noodles with 2 sides, and a "lemongrass sardines salad" in the special menu. The noodles are ok but he soup kind of sweet, the "salad" is a nightmare- the sardine literally came straight out of a can- am fine with canned food but1) they r chucky n hard n tasteless, 2) the dressing is minimal n nothing resembles the dish description, 3) there is no salad but a piece of lettuce beneath the sardine pcs. Sorry pal, you ruined not just my afternoon but people who wanted to support you. …Read More

叫左蝦蔥花米腸加燒賣。制作馬虎，生硬的蝦米冇洗，就咁鋪係腸粉上面，醬汁是一般的鼓酒開水(也是凍的，所以腸粉變得只有微暖)。燒賣是凍的，粉團刷子膠味。馬馬虎虎最緊要快 ，就是今時今日香港的飲食文化？…Read More

本來去前边的食店，但路過此店見有七、八个食客在內，便即管一試。入坐後，問店员「招牌肉骨茶」跟「唐排肉骨茶」有何分别，店員答「招牌」比較"林"。所以我叫了「招牌肉骨茶」。Food:湯 ：得个咸字，和胡椒味。肉骨茶的茶去了那里？肉：兩舊連肉大豬骨加一片展肉，但rubber like，勉强吃了片展肉，其它見相，心想是🐶食還是人食？！(另骨边很尖，湯內有碎骨，要小心。)Service:結帳問同一店員肉骨為何如此rubbery,  答曰：「我地造法係咁嘅，下次叫唐骨。」 即店的食物冇問题，有問题的是个客。哈哈哈，$80食了一个白飯加兩粒油炸鬼。重未如此中伏過。PS. 入座後發現牆上貼满到訪過的藝人照片；台上張枱紙寫著「米芝蓮」推介食店。…Read More

年初三想食下米芝蓮中菜，選了明閣，因較就腳。選了兩款得奖菜式及以為較「安全」的炸子鸡。想叫醉蝦，下單後，待應過來説今天冇海蝦。龍皇三味:上错菜，吃了另一款煎蝦及炸雪魚之類。是雪虾、冇味。雪魚還可以，一般的材料，多油但乏味。煎该比炸会較入味。綠野仙踪: 今姑炒東姑加D松子。炸taro。咸咸地之外，食材及味道冇咩特別。一般小炒皇可能会比佢好食，所以得獎的地方可以比大家猜猜猜一下。炸子鸡: 一上菜就知不妙，隻鸡好大隻。大雪鸡，冇味，D肉好嚡又乾，D皮可以。可以食ouble boiled soup。好食:歺前X O酱、caramelised walnut 。下次都係去返唐閣。…Read More

侄女 (zhi nu) came visit Hong Kong and she been here for couple times.  As an ABC, she found the food fun to play with, esp. the buns.  As to taste, we ordered a dozen of dishes and the dim sum in general tasted better than the rest of the a la carte menu. …Read More

I love grilled fish. After going thru the reviews by others, decided to give it a trial. we ordered grilled snapper ($168) n Hamachi head ($128) and a few side dishes. I didn't have a problem with a frozen Hamachi head despite the meat is a bit loose and doesn't have much oil that one would normally expect. To be fair, the portion is bigger than other restaurant. But I am totally disappointed with the red snapper as I can tell it was subzero frozen before. The meat simply fell apart when you opened the skin. Maybe I am expecting too much...…Read More

Another restaurant with all the wonderful reviews and patched with M stars. 1. V nice deco n ambience, nice neighbour for a good start. 2. Wine by glass choices are limited but good selection. 3. As to food, we ordered escargots, octopus salad, fish (hake), n shellfish pasta. The mains tasted much better than the appetizers. The snails are tiny tiny n tasted bland, i.e. u are essentially eating butter n garlic. The octopus salad is better - seasoning is good but the octopus is in tiny pieces and tasted bland as well. 4. The mains (fish n shellfish pasta) are much better. They tasted a lot better due to the sauce and broth. Again the fish n shellfish themselves don't have much favor of their own. Overall experience is good. Like most restaurants in HK, quality of ingredients is the cause of disappointment.…Read More

起菜超快，尢如大家落、尾心。香港食物水準越來越平均，多謝大集團。八瓜魚沙律：dressing 是講不出有什麼調味。Duck rice 焗飯：salty n greasy. As such I mixed it with the salad. Garlic prawns: 雪蝦。白雪雪。如果你只是要快。…Read More

For gourmet seekers, you can be disappointed.For people who enjoy simple food, relaxed ambience, beauty of the nature, and friendship of staffers, this is the place to be.1. vegetable curry - very mild and sweeter than normal, good choice for kids but not spicy enuf for curry lovers2. vegetarian pineapple fried rice - with fresh pineapple and dried bean curd, taste as good as those with meat or seafood3. phat thai & vege fried rice noodles - both are well pan-fried without excessive oil or the noodles sticked together; the phat thai is a bit salty with the dark soy sauce, comparably the fried noodles taste better4. green payaya salad - crunchy n fresh, could be too sour for the sweet-toothes 5. spring roll - crispy without being too oily6. sago cake - better than most thai restaurants, fresh taste of young coconut and not so sweet or soggy.…Read More

Tried to book a table for a few times and finally made it.Read about the restaurant and the owner. Intrigued and looking forward to seeing it myself: people cook with a heart, and passionate about their food.What we ordered: Singature Quinoa salad, Tofu crouquettes, Green curry veggie, Mixed mushroom linquineSalad: Very fresh, very nice, and taste authentic (eat slow and you will taste what they meant to be)Crouquettes: Nice compliment to cold appetizers. Taste good on its own even without the homemade ketchupGreen curry: A bit disappointing as the spicyness overpowered the other tastes. Veggie a bit too little and feel short changed.Linguine: Nice. Texture: not prefectly al dente but still better than a lot of Italian restaurants. Very aromatic, well balanced in terms of taste, excellent mushroom.Only reservation is it is hard to get a table and a bit pricy, portions are just right for light eaters. Could cost a lot if one goes for a full 5 course meal.Highly recommended to those who prefer tasting the food itself than the seasoning/dressings. …Read More

Was recommended by a friend. So, give it a try.Ordered 4 dishes:Green Mango Salad, Pat Thai w/ Shrimps, Tongyamkung, BBQ RibsConclusion:Salad: very spicy, a lot of sugar and vinegar. So can't taste the mango itself. Pat Thai: shrimps are tasteless. Noodles are ok. Again, sugary.Tongyamkung: prawns are tasteless and a bit "decomposed" in texture. BBQ Ribs: Tough meat to cut. Didn't finish. Sugary again.V disappointing. Not recommended.…Read More

Soup: Gurnard / MinestroneOK but not exceptional. The fish soup tasted just ordinary, lack of distinguishable favors. The vegetable soup? Milder than the typical Minestrone.Main: Tagliolini / AngelhairThe tuna tagliolini again is lack of favor. Al dente? in a way. The tuna compose and the sauce are also lack of taste, if not character.The uni angelhair is better, given there are uni. But if you are a sushi fan, the uni is not in its best condition.The apricot mouse is a fail. It can't be a mouse given the texture is close to being a condensed paste.Overall, over priced, over rated. But a nice place to see, and to be seen.…Read More

After viewing all the good comments ppl made about this restaurant., as a big fan of Italian food, must go and try.Ordered 2 "catch of the day" seafood soups, one pig cheek in tomato sauce pasta (forgot the name), and linguine vongole, I always believe if an Italian restaurant can't cook its pasta well, forget about the rest of the menu.It took some time before they served us bread. I expected them to be warm but they were not. - Seafood soup: I can tell they are not made from canned soup. But I prefer they use a less impressive name as it only leads to disappointment. Honestly I can't tell which ingredients in the soup should fall under the "catch-of-the-day" caption. I bet half of the stuff in the soup are fresh from frozen. Catch of the day?... from the freezer I guess.- The two pasta are total disappointment. Both over-cooked so badly that we gave up one of them. Mama mia, i feel cheated.Lesson learned: An authentic Italian name doesn't necessarily mean the food is equally authentic. And my taste buds are v different from most of the food critics here.:( …Read More

After watching the TVB interview, was intrigued by their 酒浸鵝肝.With great expectation, walked all the way there from Wanchai MTR station for lunch.Obviously ordered 酒浸鵝肝, as well as deep fried pig intestine, and pan-fried chicken w/ noodles. The verdict: - The goose liver is smooth like butter but lacks the taste and aroma of foie gras. - The pig intestines is skinny, but doesn't have the "end of the butt" smell you sometimes find with the street-hawker version. - The pan-fried chicken tastes like the ordinary frozen chicken thigh (not recommend). The noodles taste much better.Again, what you saw on TV is not what you get most of the time. …Read More
