The Chinese Library

環境氣氛很好，初初感覺十分良好，音樂令人愉快，食物賣相不錯，可惜服務態度非常一般，不太禮貌，不感到被歡迎。負責我們的主力服務員款待客人的質素惡劣，請了這樣的員工令整個餐廳大為失色，不時大聲提及還枱時間，然而外面沒有人等候，不可能等待我們完成甜品嗎？甜品質素十分普通，得個樣！由於被催促地完成，也沒有心情欣賞了。幸好還有一個正常的經理為我們影相留念，但也不能挽回我對這間餐廳的評價，不會再去這一間餐廳了。

When you first enter this restaurant, it is clear that it wants to be in the company of Central's high end Chinese food competition (Mott 32, Duddells, China Tang, even the China Club.).  Unfortunately, The Chinese Library falls short of its mark.The room looks very classy.  As one would expect from an Aqua Group restaurant, it is a visual stunner.  However, the food (I had the Deluxe Set Menu lunch), the service, and the value for money are  just "ok".First, the service.  While my experience wa

Staff were not familiar with the menu, could not respond when asked for signature dishes and recommendations. They could also be more attentive and responsive when called for instead of staring over the dinners. Unfinished sharing plates were taken away without checking first and the bill was brought in without been asked for. Food taste and presentation was good despite extremely small portions for certain items given the pricing.

位於大館裡，來和朋友吃午餐，原來以為會有dim sum，沒想到是以正常炒菜為主。非常喜歡它的Free flow vcp，250一位感覺價格很合理，我看很多桌都有點，果斷點了這個free flow。午市set lunch有兩個選擇，我選了premium的set lunch。點心拼盤有三道點心，造型味道都不錯，黑椒和牛酥很有特色，讓我記憶猶新。第二個是炒星班球，感覺上菜速度有點快，一道菜剛剛吃完第二道就來了。第三道香辣汁燒和牛肋，味道不錯，和牛軟嫩但不油膩。吃到這裡的時候其實我已經喝多了。姜汁時蔬，後面是海皇海膽炒飯，海膽微微過油，有一點點焦香，很不錯。甜點是deepfried chocolate hazelnut ball，很不錯。 整體感覺性價比不錯，分量也恰到好處，味道好吃，有一兩道居然讓我感到驚喜。為了250的freeflow也會回來吃。

中環多左新境點-大館，我唔係遊客，當然無第一時間去行過。多得朋友帶我呢的鄉下妹去試下先第一黎，一入到大館，感覺好似去到1881咁，原來大家前身都係差館。呢度都幾多餐廳，今晚就book左呢間試下，叫做中文圖書館，但門外就係全部係外國人，餐廳入面好有電影場景咁，勁靚！餐牌內的選擇唔算太多，放心，食中菜有中文字餐牌😆，價錢都算中上。落完單，就會上呢2碟涼菜，一個似係芥末菜頭，呢一個似係酸梅車厘茄，2碟都覺得好有心，唔hea！呢個夠晒鑊氣，有4件，煮到岩岩好，唔會係全熟，而風沙食落有少少似避風唐風味咁！係呢3d餐廳食碟實勁唔抵架啦，但呢個芥蘭佢幫去左個皮，得番最幼既芯，又無葉，仲用石鍋熱住上，我就覺得好好食啦！呢個飯上菜時會問你洗唔洗分，懶人就當然最好食殘廢餐😆，請佢放底俾我影張相，就麻煩幫我地分2碗，你無聽錯，真係分得2碗😅，分量係少d，但有時細碟有細碟好。味道當然唔錯啦，濃味少少，可能只係我自己近來食得清淡。可以睇到靚仔侍應好優美咁幫我地分，幻想下換轉同樣事情，係普通酒樓...都係呢度好睇好多😂！咁靚既環境，食一次就夠，成間餐廳感覺去左外國既中餐廳，少少呃鬼佬咁，但野食同服務唔錯，我只飲熱

Located on the second floor of Tai Kwun’s Police Headquarters Block, the rectangular dining room is beautifully decorated and offers nice ambience. I love the high ceiling and the backlit jade marble wall.Highlight of the evening for me was the roast pork loin w manuka honey sauce (good balance of meat and fat) and the thousand cut silken tofu chicken broth (clear soup was simply light and delicious). The knife skill was exceptional .... The deep fried aubergine w Sakura shrimp and green beans w

Quick Squiz:  Visited for a weekday lunch on recommendation of a friend who visited earlier. Impressive entrance and front desk service, welcoming bar staff as we walked past, exciting (and delicious) menu. Staff were still "running-in" with some unfamiliarity with menu and service protocol, but perhaps holding it back the most would be its price.More about the restaurant: Set in the newly opened Tai Kwun in Central, its address on the first floor of the former Police Headquarters instantly give

本來想俾劣劣劣，但當中有一味好(炒飯)，還有環境好，所以手下留一點情。訂了位，staff 給了好位置，而且略胖的 manager 很有禮貌，心情大好。坐低點了 sparkling water and puer tea (having said that, 普洱茶甘弱雞但又另外收費.......)跟著 order .....問題如下，希望 aqua 集團改善:吃中餐竟然沒有碗，吃肉碎與有湯的菜非常不方便!!!人手不足，三催四請才有人加茶加水。價錢跟人均消費跟旗下北京道一號胡同差不多，但食物水準卻遠遠不如-------失望！手撕雞普通魚偏貴但味道不怎樣大千雞快檢討，跟中式快餐差不遠，誰叫了誰倒大霉。點芥蘭竟沒有葉，還算菜嗎？？？香瓜淡味到......難以置信。我不是付了你們一線餐廳的食物費嗎？怎麼味道卻似基層食堂？唯一讚: 海鮮金沙炒飯，可值 Michelin Star 一星。

My second night in the same location, after a disastrous dinner at Madame Fu, I had an impressive dinner at this new restaurant, Chinese Library. Staff are professional, caring and attentive. Great decor. Wonderful service. Food presentation is nice. It may another Chinese restaurant targeting for tourist and foreign but the food quality is top notch. They still need some improvements after opened for a few days. Overall it’s impressive and I will definitely go back. They are so sweet to prese
