The noodle tastes like something I could get from the supermarket. The soup taste like very watery . The chicken isn’t tender although it has been sliced up very thin . The set goes for $138 including a tempura sides and soft drink . Don’t like it live up to the cost of this ramen. A once off visit for sure. …Read More

I recently visited 樂園, a Hong Kong-style tea restaurant that specializes in serving traditional Hong Kong dishes and drinks. During my visit, I tried their famous ying yang, deep fried pork rice, sauté beef French toast, and their fried rice noodle.The highlight of my meal was definitely the deep fried pork rice. The cut was thick and crispy, with a meaty texture that was perfectly balanced by the sweet soy sauce. The rice was a bit firmer than I was used to, but it worked well with the sauce and the pork.The ying yang was balanced and delicious, with the perfect combo of sweetness and bitterness. The red bean was also cooked to perfection. The sauté beef French toast was an adventurous combination, but it actually worked pretty well. Although it wasn't to my personal liking, I would still recommend giving it a try for those looking for a unique twist on the classic French toast.The fried rice noodle was another standout dish. It had a lot of "wok hei" flavor, which is a Cantonese term for the smoky flavor that is imparted to a dish from the high heat used in traditional wok cooking. The dish wasn't oily at all, and the portion was very generous. Some might find this dish a bit salty, but I personally enjoyed it.Overall, I was impressed with the food and drinks at 樂園. The atmosphere was lively and the staff were friendly and accommodating. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for authentic Hong Kong cuisine, especially those who love deep fried pork rice.…Read More

The newly renovated restaurant offers a warm and inviting atmosphere, and the hotpot concept is always a great option for a fun and interactive dining experience.The basic menu, priced at $368, offered a wide range of ingredients for the hotpot, including fresh and succulent seafood, juicy meats, and a variety of vegetables. I was especially impressed by the quality of the seafood, which was some of the best I have had in a hotpot restaurant.The broth was a standout as well, with a rich and flavorful taste that elevated the overall hotpot experience. The restaurant also provided a variety of dipping sauces and spices that added even more depth to the flavors.One of the best things about "淥鼎記" is that there is no time limitation for their all-you-can-eat hotpot, so you can take your time and fully enjoy the experience. The service was top-notch, with friendly and attentive staff who were always on hand to refill the hotpot or offer suggestions.In conclusion, "淥鼎記" is a great option for anyone who loves hotpot and wants to enjoy a delicious and interactive dining experience.

I recently ordered a take away meal from their cross region delivery service and I have to say, I was thoroughly impressed! The order consisted of spicy noodles, eggs, and drunken chicken and I have to say, it was a fantastic combination. The portions were generous and the food was simply delicious. The spicy noodles had just the right amount of heat and the eggs were cooked to perfection. The drunken chicken was juicy and flavorful, making it the highlight of the meal. The delivery was also on time and the food was still warm when it arrived. The best part? The price was reasonable, making this meal not only delicious but also a great value. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with my take away experience and I would definitely order from this restaurant again. If you're looking for a satisfying and delicious meal at a reasonable price, I highly recommend giving this restaurant a try!…Read More

Drawn to fact that the restaurant was formerly the Central Magistrates' Office, with the decor maintained and refinished back to its vintage appearance.We were grated with enthusiasm by the waiter upon arrival. The waiter handed us a champagne as a Welcome Drink, and then took us to our seat seat. Next he handed us an Al La Cart Menu, and at first glance, there were fewer options than we expected.We had done former research and knew that the onion soup is a must try, when we ask about soup this is what he told us…"Yes Onion Soup is one of our signature dishes" with a rude attitude and said "no share ..no share this is for one person" in a serious tone, and then nodded his head to indicate to us "one for each person, no share". Why Is he making presumptions that we are going to share our soup when had no intention of doing that. When selecting the main course, we were deciding between lobster or Prime Rib. We wanted to know about the portion. Checking with the waiter again before we made our mind . This is what he bluntly replied "one person portion, you can't share "We were all a bit stunned to hear his answer, how can you say these before the guests made a decision? Just because we are Asians, we felt we had been labeled that sharing food is in our vein ? We ended up ordering some starters, one onion soup per person, one main course per person, Dover Sole and Prime Rib, Side Dishes, red wine, etc.As we were expecting the food to come, there were several *suspected* food bloggers at the adjacent table, I say we suspect they are bloggers because they used more than two flashes, three mobile phones, and two SLR cameras to take pictures of their food, what’s worst, they were speaking very loudly, which completely ruined our mood to dine in such a new and decent venue. If there is a filming event, should the restaurant staff arrange for them to go to a special location that won't affect other guests?Finally our food arrives, let's talk about the onion soup first. The crispy skin is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The onion soup is full of ingredients. It's is delicious and a must try. Next came Dover Sole, which is fried fish, ordinary appearance, small portion, taste is good but no surprise there . Prime Rib served with Yorkshire pudding, a traditional British entree, but out of the ordinary given the price tag. As for the side dishes, house confit potatoes look very flattering and delicate! Like a thousand-layer cake, layer by layer, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Creamed Spinach is rich and creamy enough. As for the bread, it was just too ordinary. From experience , usually high-end restaurants will make their own special bread. The bread in this restaurant doesn’t seem like it was homemade. Yet their butter is very aromatic!Back to the reason of our further disapointment. During the whole time as we were eating, flashs of lights keeps coming from our adjacent table （the one with the suspected food bloggers ). Which has caught our attention again. At first glance, they ordered two onion soups and shared them among five people. The waiter also provided five additional small bowls for them to share. So what happened to the “no sharing rule” they had been so strict on ? Also as the main dishes arrived one after another to their table , All five of the guests stood up., first performing a round of "celery before the food" ritual, and then openly sharing all of their main dishes. Waiters providing them with extra plates to share without hesitation. Speaking loudly and makingp noises with their tableware. So what’s up with the double standards being placed upon bloggers and us actual diners who are paying for the supposing same service ?Seeing the waiter at the next table set the dessert in front of them, the diners picked up the camera and mobile phone to take pictures, one of our friends picked up the phone and took a long distance photo of the dessert, and then the chef in charge realized and warned our friend "you shouldn't take picture or video", we were instantly shocked , is it because we didn't order this dish, we have no rights of taking any pictures? You lighted up a show with your desserts to drawn attention to your other guests in the house, but just because we didn’t order the same dish you have to treat as down ? We were equally confused and shocked by all of these.Frankly speaking, the restaurant environment is very good, and because of its historical value, people are more eager and looking forward to tasting food in this environment, but unfortunately being mistreated like our group did , and then allowing *suspected* special guest to not follow their restaurant (a email from the restaurant reminding guests to dress properly before the guests show up) We followed all the guidelines but only to observed some people were allowed to break the rules in a ex venue of justice, how ironic. Originally, we all wanted to enjoy the food slowly and have a nice gathering with friends. But being mistreated the way we did, we just want to leave ASAP. After we finished our main, the waiter handed over the dessert menu, we said we were full, let's do it next time. In exchange for a response from the waiter: "No way! With the amount of your meal, you can still have the ability to hold desserts", then turned around and left. Is this some sort of British black humor or the wait or simply being rude ? I will let the reader decide .In summary, special venue , food alone does not meet up to the price tag, there are plenty of better restaurants in town. But the reason we will likely not come back is due to its service and mis treatment to the normal guest . …Read More

You get a nice decoration and dining environment but the quality does not live up to the price nor the deco.Signature dish iberico pork is dry and favorless.I can understand why there are plenty of seats available while other shops on the same street is crowded with people. definitely not coming back. …Read More

A bit surprised to locate another ramen shop in Mong kok that lives up to standard.broth is full of favorLarge pork belly chasiu fulfilling for even a guyOverall I’m pretty happy with this meal and will come again if i pass by.There is a small queue outside by the time we finished our meal on a weekend and I can definitely understand why.…Read More

Just random walked in this place but found the quality to be unexpectedly great. I’m sure it’s better then those located at the mall nearby, would definitely go again.…Read More

Their spagetti never disappoint, only slightly spicy but just enough to spark your palette. With impossible beef it is perfect for vegan or people who would want to go green. The Katsu Curry Risotto is also pretty delicious but found the portion a bit heavy. so far one of the few dish ive tried with omni pork that doesnt taste weird. For a lighter menu I would recommend the spagetti while their rice if you felt like some comfort food in your tummy.They usually have a small group of people lining up for take away and dine in.However I do think the food they provide is worth waiting for. …Read More

Heard many great things about this shop so decided to give it a try. Ordered the top recommendations which is the Hainanese Chicken, the laksa noodles , and their coconut dessert. The Hainanese Chicken was nice but I was expecting it to be better. The laksa was good with scallops but again not something that would make me line up for 30mins. The dessert with thr coconut had a nice presentation and the coconut icecream mix quite well with walnut and coconut meat. Overall quite good but just not a shop i would line up just to eat it.…Read More

came for the chicken, but after a hour of non stop rowing on the kayak we need more food. So we ordered two veggies, a tofu with minced pork , a coal bbq pork neck, and passion fruit cold drink. Boy must I tell you everything was above our expectation. The chicken which we ordered in advance was fantastic but the pork neck is also highly recommended. They did it better than alot of restaurants outside the city. A wonderful stop point for kayakers and hikers. Number on thr OR seeems incorrect though.…Read More

Came here for lunch for two. Ordered two of their lunch menu and overall the food and quality are great. However, Found the portion a bit small and the price a bit expensive ($1300 for two). Food is a weatern with a slight asian DNA. The resturant also offer a great view of the victoria habour, so if you like the view it might be a good choice for you. …Read More

This is one of my favorite go to places for ramen. The couple that opened this shop have passion for running this small shop. The japanese husband is responsible for making the noodles while the wife help serves the customer. If i come here I woulf usually order one noodle and one dumpling. All the noodles are great and my personal favorite dumping is the one with japanese spring onion. …Read More

Booked this resturant for family birthday celebration. Make sure to order their smoke infuse chicken. Ordered a coupe of dish recommended by fellow Openrice members and did I not disappoint. The higibht for me is the black squid pork meat patty. The texture and favor is just at the right combination and raised it to the mext level. This is true cantonese cooking, bringing simple ingredients in the perfect harmony and push it to another dimension. Highly recommended for family and friends gathering because there are some many dish Id love to try next time. …Read More

Second time im here since their opening. Had a great diner there and meet up a friend to try out their lunch. Picked a lunch set that was under $100 which includes a main, soup and standard drink. you can throw in a bit extra to upgrade to their signature drink, which I did. I ordered the pan fry fish with chips, which was pretty okay, the soup was tomato based perfectly exercuted. The special drink I picked was a fusion twist on hk popular dessert tofu fa but in a form of a smoothie, very interesting and it taste great. Overall I like their regular menu better but for a lunch in TsT below $150 , this is worth revisting again. …Read More
