Stumbled upon this place while looking for some “western” food in Mongkok. The vibes were quite good, filled with the after-work crowd since it’s a weekday. Don’t let the higher floor deter you, it’s worth going up to the 13th floor despite having to take the lift or quite a few flights of escalators. Food is of decent quality. They have “all-day” happy hour promotion during the time of my visit, with prices $60 and up for beer and wine. I do recommend a visit if you’re in the neighbourhood. Service is genuine and non-pretentious. …Read More

I heard from a friend this place is Thai-owned and operated. From the moment I stepped in, it’s as if I’ve stepped through a worm hole to Thailand! All our favourite staple Thai dishes can be found here: prawn cakes, papaya salad, Pad Thai, Tom Yum Goong, etc etc. The best part is that they do not “water down” the spices (unless you ask them to) — meaning you get the authentic fiery taste! They also serve Thai beers like Singha and Chang, as well as their own creative cocktails. This place is an excellent choice if you have that sudden craving for good Thai-food. Not to mention you’re supporting small businesses. …Read More

剛剛去完首爾旅行，回港後想重溫當地口味，知道這間餐廳由韓國人打理，所以就約了朋友去試一試。可能是星期五晚上的關係，全場爆滿，服務自然就慢了一點。亦都因為全場爆滿，非常嘈吵，跟坐對面的朋友傾偈都有啲困難。食物方便，真的不及韓國當地的質素。點了燒牛肉，可惜全部都幾乎係脂肪，而且份量偏少。價錢亦偏貴。例如部隊鍋其實只是即食麵加午餐肉泡菜等普通食材，要$348一鍋。總括來說，服務還算可以，不過去一次當湊下熱鬧算了。…Read More

星期六超大雨想近近地食西餐。在App見到這間餐廳有買一送一優惠所以就試下。同其他西餐廳一樣，一坐下來就問要still or sparkling water. 我話要Tap water。然後侍應話下雨天最好不要飲Tap Water, 對身體唔好。我成世人都未聽過這個道理。 不過見自己已經享受買一送一優惠所以就豪樽水比佢吧（其實之後仲有叫支酒）。野食方便就普普通通，頭盤同意粉都可以，牛扒就好有茶餐廳feel。 我建議大家可以考慮其他地方。…Read More

The whole experience was really good. From the greeting at reception, to the table arrangement, to the sincere and caring attitude of the servers, to the quality of the food. This place is 5-star and it’s worth a visit. In fact it is better than some so-called 5-star hotels. I need to give a things up to their grooming as well. Customers notice everything and their efforts won’t go unnoticed. And oh! My little stingy strategy is to book a table at 8:30pm, have a drink at regular price, and start enjoying happy hour price from 9:00pm onwards. …Read More

Kind of disappointed at the level of service at this supposedly 6-star hotel. Most of the servers do not wear a smile and are borderline having some snobbish attitude. Even in this kind of property they told us the dining time is limited to 2 hours. In fact one can say it’s unacceptable. But if you ignore all of that, and just focus on the food and drinks, the quality is quite superb. …Read More

接待處完全沒有接待。望住客人好似仇人。沒有微笑沒有打招呼沒有多謝沒有一般常人的禮貌。口黑面黑影衰埋間酒店。Probably one of the worst service attitudes I’ve seen. No welcomes, no smiles, no thank yous, no common courtesy. All staff are having a perpetual bad day. Food is acceptable, but not enough for us to return.…Read More

It is already weird to begin with for such an expensive restaurant to limit duration of dining time to 90mins. It is even worse they started to remind us to leave at the 60mins mark, for a total of 3 times. So we ended up spending only a fraction of what we would have spent since clearly their priority is to get us out of there. 🙄🙄🙄…Read More

This is a fair article because I experienced the same several times before deciding to write. You will be greeted by stern faced employees who don’t care about you as a customer. No greetings, no thank you, definitely no smile. All the staff do not communicate. You don’t hear a sound from them. The WORST part is the wait. The average is 25 mins. Today I waited for 34 mins and the place is practically empty. Why so much time is needed with a breakfast containing toast and eggs. It’s all very mysterious. …Read More

The combination of high quality food and Shangri-La hospitality translates to the perfect lunch. I was impressed from the options available on the set lunch menu, with 5 or 6 items to choose from EACH of the appetiser, main, and dessert courses, to be followed by coffee or tea. …Read More

Tried the brunch there and booked via OpenRice app. Process was smooth and received phone call to double confirm reservation day before. Located on the 31/F the venue commands magnificent a vista of HK island, food was nutritious and of good standard. 2-hour free flow comes at a reasonable price. This restaurant, given its great location and quality cuisine, has great potential to be an outstanding option in the HK dining scene. That’s only if they decide to train and re-train their staff to serve with a smile and sense of gratitude, and not with some haughty attitude. Everybody was either carrying no emotion or seemed angry . Personally I won’t return, options are aplenty. …Read More

The sparse table arrangements (spread out on two floors) that this restaurant had rightfully chosen to undertake gave diners great privacy which paved way for a fine dining experience. The food was good but frankly not superb, but for a new establishment at soft opening you can tell they are trying their best to leave a good impression. Tapas dishes like snail and squid were great starters, and the familiar mains including pasta and pizza were solidly delivered. The WOW factor goes to the amazing steak dish which was recommended by the friendly general manager John. The fruit pizza was also a pleasant surprise. All in all, worth a try before it becomes too packed!…Read More

Tucked away at Peel Street, this shop serves a variety of fish n chips combos which can be washed down by a variety of bottled beers, craft beers, or good old Stella draft. The taste is "typical", basically overpowered by the condiments: vinegar, tartare or ketchup as usual . Good place for people watching too since some seats face directly onto Peel Street. …Read More

Was staying at the hotel so decided to try out the place. The spacious layout and courteous service was indeed up to par with a world class hotel restaurant in a prime district of Hong Kong. However the dishes themselves, though by no means are substandard, failed to deliver any wow factor. The quality was similar to any typical dim sum restaurant in Hong Kong. So by all means go for the decor and service, but do not expect a stellar gourmet dining experience. …Read More

All your favourite Portu-Macanese dishes are nicely done here. The first brownie point was awarded to the hot and crunchy buns. Although they were simply re-heated in a domestic oven I was impressed that the restaurant took the trouble to do so, instead of providing flabby cold buns that most restaurants would do. African-Chicken, Seared Pork Belly, and Spicy Prawns are all musts. Ask for the boat captain when placing orders who offer great recommendations. (The decor of the restaurant mimics a ship, and the head waiter dresses as a captain!)…Read More
