Been here multple times and will be back soon.One of the better 小炒王 around, with it's unique dish of 太爷鸡.  Must try!!!  suprised that we were told that the chicken contains zero soy sauce...but when you taste it, it's super nice.can't expect too much from service, there never is any at these type of places, but the quality of food have not let me down yet (and i've been here more than 5 times in the past two months already)The soups that you can get are authentic, can actually taste all the herbal stuff which is a rarity as normal places would be tasteless...Overall...just super good!!!p.s.  might be easier to have a canto speaker accompanying you, as majority of the dishes are written in chinese on the wall or on the menu...…Read More

I was informed by friends that this was a very famous indian place.Having lived in the UK most of my life, and been to India for holiday many times, when someone refers me a "really good indian" restaurant, I only expect it to be close to the average standard of what having a balti would be like in any typical balti houses in the UK.When we received the menu, the appetisers were somewhat surprisingly traditional, but when we were ordering food, the curries and other main dishes were rather "Chinesesie-fied".  Not saying that this is bad, but when I asked whether it was possible to change one of the mutton dishes to a chicken dish, it was a plain no...so my question was whether they cooked everything fresh or is it already pre-cooked curries that they heated up.With this said, there were still some good dishes served, and I must say, majority of the quality came from the front when they use the traditional tandoori oven.The Tandoori Chicken was awesome, tender, juicy, and well spiced.When it came to the curry dishes, they were average, but accompanied with the fresh naans, I would say that this place is one of the better curry houses in HK.p.s.  If you are super picky...then please be informed that the food cooked here is of pakistan origin rather than southern indian origin.…Read More

My girlfriend and I booked a table for 1 pm the previous day and although we were able to book we were informed that if we are more than 5 mins late that our table would be released to walk-ins...With this in mind, I arrived 5 mins early, but when I went to the front desk to tell them I have arrived, it took them 5 mins to get someone to the front desk...but once acknowledged I was taken to my seat straight away.The place was really busy and I was told that this is always the case. My girlfriend was running late, and although I was waiting for her before we ordered, I didn't feel pressured into ordering and wasn't rushed at all...unlike other places when their packed out.We ordered the "Donburi Set - Bairin's Signature Special Hire Katsu Don" and also the "Rosu Katsu Set - Deep Fried Pork Loin"Both arrived within 10mins and it was super tasty. The meet was tender, the batter was think and crispy...the portions were BIG!!!...Definitely recommend it...but would definitely book in advance.…Read More
