First impression of the store is that its clean, tidy and well stocked with a variety of lunch/afternoon snack options.There are heaters/warmers and a fridge on one side of the store with warm bentos and the fridge houses sushi and cold lunch options.There is a long bench with barstools on the other side too which is handy since it’ll be useful when I need to pop down to grab some lunch and I can have it there and then.Every bento 🍱 looked great and appetising - lots to choose from. The staff told me the 🍱 bentos etc are made fresh everyday, so there is limited stock. No overnight bentos sold.They even suggested that if I fancied the look of any I can pre-order so that they can keep it aside for me to pick up just in case it’s sold out when I get to the store 🤣 - so nice! Overall the staff were really friendly and helpful - not always something I experience in HK, especially in Central where footfall is high and restaurants just want you in / out as soon as possible.On this day I got the salmon onigizaru, lobster onigiri and a prawn tempura rice roll - all to share with my boyfriend. I wasn’t particularly hungry so wanted a few to share.My boyfriend had the salmon onigizaru and said it was delicious. He lived in Japan for a while and said it tasted authentic and the filling was generous. Same for the lobster onigiri, I was surprised at how much lobster filling there was for $15 (!). The prawn tempura rice roll was also yummy. Seaweed for both the onigiri and rice rolls were very crispy. Will be going back again to try out the bentos soon! Just need to check out their menu and call to ask them to reserve me mine incase they sell out - excited to have discovered this place 🤭…Read More

I booked afternoon tea at the Tea Saloon for my sister’s baby shower. The food was great and the staff were very friendly, accommodating and helpful!The afternoon was fully vegetarian and it was such a hit with the baby shower party. The food was delicious and beautifully presented.We will definitely be going back again!…Read More

We went for dinner on a Sat night and it was disappointing. We ordered the pork bibimbap, crab salad, fried chicken thigh and scotch egg - all 4 dishes to share between 2 people.The portion sizes are small e.g fried chicken thigh is literally ONE (small) chicken thigh which meant there were only 4 relatively small bite size bits of chicken. It was a shame because it was nice & crispy even though it was a bit on the salty side.The ‘king crab salad’ was mostly cucumber mixed with a tiny bit of king crab and mayonnaise - I was only able to taste the mayonnaise and cucumber. Again it was a small portion for HKD100.The bibimbap lacked flavor - it came with a light green spicy mayonnaise which I wasn’t sure if we were to stir into the hot stone pot or not - it gave the bibimbap some flavor but we were a little confused.We waited for 45mins for the scotch egg - I understand the long wait if they were making the whole thing fresh like boiling the egg, wrapping it in the meat... bread crumbing and frying but... 45mins?!... we were also one of 2 tables there so it wasn’t like they were busy with other orders...(We had one piece of chicken when I took the picture. Didn’t take a picture of the scotch egg because we were still hungry after having had 3 dishes - we just wanted to eat, pay and leave).The service was OK, the waitress was polite and helpful when she came over. It did take us a few attempts to get anyone’s attention in a restaurant that was dead (@7pm!) when chasing up the scotch egg.They should either reduce the price or increase the portion sizes. If you want to overpay for tapas size food - then this is for you.We won’t be going back again. …Read More
