Once in a while I do my grocery at the market downstairs. Decide to venture the mall and found a good sushi train restaurant within the mall and this little cafe. Menu look promising so decided to go with the basic, a flat white. Possibly one of the best coffee I’ve had in Hong Kong. Yet to try other coffee and breakfast options. Can’t wait to be back!…Read More

Ordered takeaway cappuccino. Best coffee by far from what I’ve tried in Tsuen Wan. No clue why pacific coffee around the corner would be more packed than this establishment. Definitely want to be back for lunch or afternoon tea. Also did a takeaway of their Lady Rosa and Nocciolaciocc cake. Both are decent. …Read More

Visited last year and thought the ramen was ok. My husband wanted to try their ramen this time so we decided to have the same ramen because of the limited availability in selection. The ramen was made with pork and fish broth. Seriously delicious ramen and emptied out the whole bowl. The ramen was similar to the more expensive fish broth ramen in central but less expensive! Definitely will want to have a second bowl for my next visit. …Read More

Was looking forward to the food since the restaurant is set in a stunningly picturesque location. Set menu looked promising but it was underwhelming. Food was equally so. I guess I have expected more for the price you pay. Wait staff were somewhat preoccupied with their own agenda. …Read More

I always see the bakery kitchen being busy which tells me that their bread is made fresh all day. My favourite are the pineapple bun with a slice of butter inside and surprisingly they make really good mini baguette! Only a few bakeries in hk make good ones and I found it here! Crusty exterior, soft and fragrant inside. …Read More

Since it opened I always wanted to try their food because I drive past their restaurant everyday. The restaurant is small and narrow but pleasant. There are selection of sauces on the table along with cutleries. The menu is extensive and look authentic. With any Vietnamese restaurant I try to order the most basic, which is the beef pho. Taste wise it was delicious, but lacking in fragrance. The broth was slightly cloudy. Beef was tender and the noodles were soft and silky. Overall I highly recommend this restaurant for tasty pho. Will definitely be back to try other dishes. …Read More

Didn’t expect to find a good Japanese restaurant around Tuen Mun but was introduced this place by a friend so decided to try out. Interior was decent. Attentive staff. The presentation of the food reflected the taste. Wonderful flavours, decent portion, well seasoned and cooked right. Sushi was fresh. Really was surprised by what they had offered, a really decent Japanese food! Would definitely be back…Read More

Every other restaurant was full other than this place so we decided to have Vietnamese for dinner. Restaurant look decent, however food wasn’t. My noodle dish looked awful with only a few pieces of grilled meat and veg thrown in(note the word thrown, not arranged) and the accompanying nuoc mum sauce tasted like just sugar water. We also ordered fried spring roll which was literally dripping with oil. I’ve had authentic Vietnamese food in Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore, Australia and by far this place was the worst I ever had in terms of flavour, presentation and price. Never returning …Read More

Dirty cutlery, pushy waitresses asking you to choose a set menu, food that we didn’t order kept coming to our table and we had to complain more than 3 times and lastly food wasn’t great either. The prawn was mushy in the Har Gow, Shao Long Bao was dry and flavourless, Siu Mai was mushy and tasted weird. The only good thing I could think of is the fried rice and attentive service. Never going back. …Read More

Greeted with a faux fireplace(nice!) as my family went up the stairs. The restaurant was very spacious, with a view of the kitchen at the very end. Very attentive service, had the menu and high chair for my son immediately as we got to the table. Ordering was a little confusing at first but we eventually found out that if one person orders a meal with the salad bar, the other diner has to do the same. Salad bar had a selection of salad leaves, vegetables, condiments, soup, dessert, fruit, fresh juice, tea, I can't remember if they had coffee? and ice cream(Dreyers). It felt like there wasn't much of a selection but when you go through it, you feel it's more than enough. All the salad was crisp and very fresh. The main came and the presentation on the plate was nice, but a little disappointed with the size of the hamburger. It was very juicy and had a nice flavour but the accompanying sauce was too salty. Overall I really enjoyed my dining experience here as a family. …Read More

I've only heard good things about coco curry so I gave it a try today. Service was prompt and didn't take too long for my dish to arrive. I've also ordered a kids' meal for my son. The kids' meal had everything a child would love, rice&scurry, sausages, hamburger, wedges, tomato and jelly for dessert. It comes with a drink too for $47. Such good deal for a kids' meal. It didn't stop there as there was a free gift for children as we exited the restaurant! Food was delicious, service was great and reasonably priced. …Read More

Definitely revisiting. Loved the sweet potato fries. The burger had thick moist patty which I found crucial in a good burger. Would love to try other food in my next visit.Service was a little slow even though the restaurant wasn't packed. Love the high ceiling and spaciousness …Read More

As I enter the restaurant on a Saturday night, I see more patron drinking than dining. So I thought the food must be bad. Wrong. Started off with the terrine then the steak. Could have had seconds of the terrine as it was delicious. Steak was cooked under than desired doneness but it was still juicy and flavourful. I hear it's grass fed beef. Can't get any better. Loved the casual atmosphere of the establishment, and the lovely waitresses. …Read More

Started with crusty bread with butter and olive oil+balsamic vinegar. Ordered fried sardines which was crispy and delicious. Octopus salad had too much garlic but the octopus was tender and had a lovely charred flavouring. Cod pie? was piping hot and delicious, perfect for a chilly rainy day. Overall I really enjoyed the food. Service was great. Would love to be back to try other food…Read More

Lobster roll was dissapointing as the lobster was a bit chewy and it came in big chunk so when you take a bite, you pretty much take most of the lobster and eventually you're just eating the bun at the end. Soft shell crab burger was under seasoned. Cheesy bacon chips was ok, prefer the cheese to be more of a runny consistency instead of it ending up to be a large clump when the dish cool down. …Read More
