An out of town guest craved Chinese / Cantonese food and picked this place for quality of food. Likes the good choices and particularly appreciated the half portion as a choice- that allowed us to taste more dishes. What they recommended were all good. Dishes are fancy yet sound and tasty and innovative. Good and fresh ingredients used. The place is spacious and well decorated (not overly done). Staff are helpful and friendly. …Read More

佢有優質街坊生意的心意和質素。 疫情下我們有15人來吃點心午餐， 經理非常體恤我們的需要， 為我哋安排非常周到: 包括10四五人嘅位置, 切蛋糕等等, 多謝晒! 食品也有水準。 價錢非常相宜. 我們對他們的服務非常滿意。We came as a big group. The managers are so nice to organize our seats well (despite covid rules) and arrange our group cake cutting nicely. Food also is good- hand made dim sum. And it’s not expensive. Definitely a good neighborhood place. …Read More

Looking for a good place with views on island east side and this new restaurant in the new hotel satisfies. Views are amazing during the lunch time we went. Nights should be good too. Seating is spacious and comfortable. Menu is modern Southeast Asian with some innovation. Portions are good/ big and we like how they tasted. We had Pumpkin Curry, Prawn & corn salad, Satay, pork belly with lettuce. Full bar available and drinks menu is not bad. It’s a great place for gathering and/ or a relaxing brunch. …Read More

中環街市剛剛開張已經在Wako吃了兩轉， 一轉星期六中午， 一轉星期五夜晚。 晏晝和夜晚Menu不同。 晏晝氣氛有啲似在日本的市場， 人來人往， 非常熱鬧。 雖然繁忙但食品上菜沒有怠慢。 晚上氣氛變回中環氣氛： 靜中帶旺， 旺中帶靜； 可以慢慢品嚐清酒。 酒方面很多選擇： 有多款來自各地清酒和首次引進香港的生原酒 （ 生啤概念） 。 喜歡的還可即刻將喜歡的酒買回家。 食物性價比高， 吃的是魚鮮真味道。 The central market just opened and I have come here twice : once at Sat lunch and once a weeknight dinner. The ambience and atmosphere are very different. Lunch feels like a Japanese market with crowds and a lot happening ; dinner feels like a modern central hangout venue. Take your pick. Food quality is good and fairly priced for central. It’s sushi bar setting - you can ask questions and make your earnest requests to the chefs directly. Good selection of sake , esp the draft sake - a new Japanese technology. You can always buy your favorite sake to go. …Read More

We discovered this place early July then been back three times. We like the omakase offering where you really can dictate the price range and what you want, rather than set menus. Prices are much more reasonable then other places where premiums are charged for celebrity chef, deco, or special food treatments. Fresh and seasonal Food imported from Japan is served in an authentic and direct way, which results in great value for money. Desserts are different each time, made with seasonal ingredients. Sake selection is not too many but are quite special. The owner chef is a great host - get the bar seat. High recommendation. …Read More

This is almost like a speakeasy - hidden in the 2nd floor of a hotel - between wan chai and causeway bay. The idea of all you can drink sake bar is hip, fun, and innovative. And it’s just sake from all over Japan. It’s also fruit wine, rice liquor and other types. Small table setting for intimate and casual gathering. They can also set a place for your bigger parties. You can learn about each drink as they have the first japan certified sake sommelier in house. Food choices are izakaya style with lots of varieties. Great for Happy Hour or an evening of catch up or a casual date. …Read More

I have been here several times, for normal meals and also special wine pairing events. Wine selection is great as I know its wine consultant / vendor is good. Menu is seasonal with signature dishes. Presentation and taste both well delivered. It’s not over fancy or exaggerating, while you still have the fine dining feel and each dish has its appeal. The chef’s skills show. …Read More

I frequent here and enjoy it every time - I am in that area. The only drawback is that the location is not the most convenient to get to. Else I like the food, the space, the view, the menu. Each dish shows Italian authenticity and some innovation and care. Price is moderate. It’s a good experience. …Read More

We had a great lunch experience. The ambience is fun and you do feel like you are in japan. Good alcohol selection. A lot of sashimi to choose from. Lunch menu is of great value with attractive presentation. Taste is also fine. I would think dinner should be also a good experience there- better book early. …Read More

I have been here a few times. Not only the decor and staff are nice. The food selection is quite attractive and tasty- and good variety for Keto menu. I had pizzas, “rice”, “noodles”, all good. Desserts are particularly nice. I really enjoy the experience. …Read More

This neighborhood western eatery with seafood is a gift. I can having the party , going out experience within steps to my home. Great selection of fresh oysters and Sunday afternoon Happy Hour is a steal. All the other hot dishes are casual and easy with the seafood mains. Staff are always nice. It gets busy on weekends with tables by the side walk. You can feel being away from home. …Read More

Not familiar with Kowloon bay - but today we are around here and have this place a try. So pleasantly surprised. The famous marinated goose doesn’t disappoint. Chiu Chow “shiu lok gwah” with shrimp is also nice- nicely fried but not oily. The mantis shrimp is done well, seasoned well, and so fairly priced. Dessert soups are also good. The chef indeed is superb- can handle all traditional dishes. Unlike most stall food stations - this place is quite clean and neat. Will come again. Quite easy access / connection from Kowloon bay mtr. …Read More
