BAD:- Just the worst service ever !!! ...very disappointing !!!Going there since 2009, in 2011 the management changed for the new team but ... it's EVEN WORSE :'(= always get served the order of the neighbor's table= always get sushis that were never even ordered= always get informed 20 min after order that some items are out of stock= staff quite annoyed each time you ask for something= staff never understands what is going on, never understands the first time what you want ... even when speaking Cantonese to them !!! = final bill can include items that you never had on the table- tables and cutleries are not always properly cleaned - always the same menu since 2 years at least, need some fresh ideas.GOOD:- The quality of the food is good.- Sashimis are fresh and of good quality.- The fried cheese croquettes with pumpkin are REALLY GOOD :)- The seared sushis of salmon and scallops are also to be recommended, it literally melts in your mouth !!! :)TO SUM UP:- Good food but terrible service !!!…Read More

COULD BE BETTER:- I was actually expecting a bit more regarding desserts knowing that Pierre Gagnaire started his career as a Pastry chef.- What they call "Pierre Gagnaire's grand dessert" is actually a mix of jelly and molecular desserts, which was very good, but we were expecting a mix of revisited French pastries.GOOD:- Everything was perfect, we started with a Ruinart Champagne as aperitif and continued with the tasting menu.- Being seasonal, most of the winter menu was about seafood, from seabass, to oyster and prawns.- The cheese dish was amazing, an alliance of French cheeses and processed fruit such as Pear ice cream with Roquefort ... GREAT !!!- Great service- Great view of Hong KongTO SUM UP:Excellent ! One of the top fine dining in Hong Kong with a fantastic scene.But be careful if you take the wine pairing which includes about 5 glasses of wines, you could easily get drunk, might not be suitable for women that are not used to drink a lot :)…Read More

I have been to South Korea, and for sure this restaurant is not as good as back in the country but not bad though.COULD BE BETTER:- A bit disappointed on the quality of the Kimchi. Actually some of the starters were not even Kimchi ...- In genuine Korean BBQ's the meat is not even marinated and do not even need to has the quality of the meat there is great. So just wondering if sometimes marinating is not used to hide some things ... just teasing ;)- REAL Korean desserts rather than ice cream ... come on guys !GOOD:- Good panel to discover Korean food- Meat greatly marinated- Clean place, grills are changed on demand- Nice staffTO SUM UP:Good place to discover Korean food.…Read More
