A pleasant surprise!! Never knew this restaurant which is very close to my office! Most dishes are beef related but even non beef dishes are amazing! It's a shame that I didnt take any pictures of the food because each dish only last for a minute before it ended up in my stomach. Manager was very friendly too and even the waitress impressed us by presenting the birthday cake we prepared by surprise! Very good experience and it definitely became one of my favourite in Hong Kong!…查看更多
The service was not attentive and the time they took to cook my fried rice was the slowest in my life whilst I'm the only person in the restauran. The main dish was fine only. Case in point, Sichuan Mala Beef Tendon, was neither Sichuan nor spiced, so I was really annoyed in the end. I am now bemused by the hype and raving reviews about this place.…查看更多
牛三館前身是一間酒吧,坐落威靈頓街🐂三館是🐂魔王天堂。地方不太大,門外擺放一張長枱;其實是餐廳延伸,可叫一點輕食配餐酒。餐廳內中式裝修,佈置優雅,唯獨枱與枱距離比較少。我明白這因為土地問題!😞中式🐂肉他他賣相跟西式沒有大分別;本地🐂肉味夠新鮮,跟洋蔥食可帶出劃🐲點晴效果。麻醬茄子醬汁混了一些陳醋吊味,茄子軟硬度也適中,作前菜很開胃。松子炒碎牛肉用炸粉絲墊底,很香口,也很下飯。最後Rice in a Cow其實是炒飯。先將甘筍粒、西芹粒、鷄蛋炒飯。飯做成一個模後,將半生熟薄片🐂肉鋪滿飯上,再鋪上芝士後焗至半溶,之後將用羅勒、薑混合攪碎成青醬放上芝士面。秒殺!…查看更多
Ngau Saam Gun, (牛三館) in Chinese, is opened by three food enthusiasts, specialising in modern beef dishes. The restaurant only uses yellow beef from Shaanxi, which is a bit sweeter than any other western beef. Creash WongCreash Wong is also the Director of Wine of DRC Group. He stated that the dishes in Ngau Saam Gun are innovative yet full of traditional Chinese elements. There are also some Chinese liquor influenced dishes going to be featured in the restaurant. Chinese Beef Carpaccio ($180)Sliced of raw and ultra-fine beef tenderloin with shallot, chives, olive oil, picked with vinegar, and seasoned with sea salt and black pepper. The light seasoning brings out all the original flavours and the sweetness from the beef, letting us know how tasty local Chinese yellow beef can be. Salt and Pepper Beef Throat ($98)Do you think you can guess what this is without reading the title? We thought it was jelly beef tender at first! The beef throat is marinated with Chinese spices beforehand to shrunken it. It is then sauteed and seasoned generously with salt and pepper. The spicy dish can definitely go better with fresh lime juice. The texture of beef throat is a mix of jelly tender and beef joints. They are a bit chewy but still tear-able. They look oily and fatty but they are actually moist and sticky. They are diced in small pieces and they are really fun to eat with a glass of nice chilled drink. BBQ Beef Char Siew ($138)Can you guess which part of the beef is used to make this amazing beef char siew? Ngau Saam Gun uses one of the tenderest meat of a beef, the cheek. This dish is very limited and first-come first-served because one beef cheek can only turn into around 5 servings of this precious and elegant dish. It is also our favourite dish from the restaurant. This part of meat has around 1/3 fat ratio. Firstly, it was marinated with dry spices for three hours then sous vide with all the standard traditional BBQ ingredients for 8 hours. The meat is so soft it melts in our mouths and it is also super smoky, just like pork char siew. Our concept to traditional Char Siew is a lot dryer and harder, but this one is the complete opposite! It is so soft, juicy, moist, tender, easily chewed........What's more? The charred edges are the best part to die for! Beef Brisket with Sesame Seed and Poppy Seed ($128)The beef brisket was cooked in clear broth first, then deep fried with a coat of mixed sesame seed and poppy seed. Though it is deep fried, the high quality meat is still very tender. It is never worse to have a dry piece of brisket stuck between your teeth. The thick layer of seeds not only enhance the flavour but they make the dish super crunch and poppy! Rice in a Cow ($128)Similar to toad in the hole, but fried rice wrapped in thinly sliced fatty beef and melting cheddar cheese, topped with a housemade ginger sauce. Its ginger sauce is inspired by the traditional one that usually goes with chicken. It is a twisted version that blends ginger with some Parmesan cheese, olive oil, and pine nuts. The fried rice is cooked with Italian parsley, pesto, carrots and eggs. We could tell it was fried nicely by its dry and not sticking individual kernel. Everything that is wrapping the rice lifted up the flavour layer by layer, first the juicy beef, then the savory cheese, and lastly the tangy nutty ginger sauce. Hua Tiao Rice Wine Panna Cotta with Chili Meringue ($68) An obvious Asian influenced dessert that uses the floral-like Hua Tiao to make the smooth and milky panna cotta, topped with two Chinese chili meringue. Do not underestimate this dish as the liquor actually tasted strong and we could smell it from far, while the chili meringue was really spicy but not overly spicy that would kill your palette. The alcoholic taste and the spiciness complemented each other very well, we got drunk on food by the end of our meal. In conclusion, it was a special and fun dining experience with all the discussions about choice of beef and ingredients. We learned so much from the innovative dishes at Nhau Saam Gun. We hope to see more new dishes coming up and we can't wait to try more! …查看更多

Nested on Wellington street is a new modern Chinese restaurant called Ngau Saam Gun. "Ngau" meaning cow in Chinese which automatically draw our focus on beef. Ngau Saam Gun gurantees the freshest beef possible as one of the owners is a beef supplier. Playing on Modern Chinese, Ngau Saam Gun uses Western Spices on all of the dishes aiming to surprise our palate. "Local" beef is being used here, and by local, they actually mean cow from China. It got to our nerves for a bit as we all known how unreliable China's food is, or at least to me. Yet after my dinner tonight, I can tell in confidence that their beef quality is legit.Ngau Saam Gun is much smaller than I expected, probably can hold 15 diners max at once. From the outside, Ngau Saam Goon looks like a nostalgic dim sum shop with a modern rustic touch, a crackingly cream white stone wall contrast with metallic black frames with studds. The interior continues the theme, using greyish wood floor tiles, dark wood tables creating softness to the eyes and to make a contrast against a beautiful burgundy 3D cow mural.The ceramic coaster was another beautiful piece that I like in the restaurant.Menu is easy to read two page menu offering abundant choices. Like many Chinese menu, it is well categorised in cold and hot dishes, main, soup, rice and noodles and dessert. Wine and Sake lists are available and extensive but we only have tea tonight. Interesting items such as Beef Carparaccio is on the food menu, but knowing the cows are sourced from China, I think I will pass.We started with Deep Fried Beef Dumpling - HKD100 for 5 pieces, rather pricey if you asked me. The filling looked like a beef ball but tasted like beef patty with bold beef flavour. I was disappointed as the filling was rather dry, sauces are definitely needed. This is an average dish to me but the boys loved it.Cold Beef Trio - HKD160 is a cold appetiters with cow organs cooked in three ways. First we had bible in pesto sauce. Pretty average bible, rather chewy in texture and not strong in pesto flavour. Second bowl was tribes braised in a tomato and basil broth. The tribes were very fatty and tender. Third bowl held the tendon which tasted splendid, utterly tender and glutinous after braising in cinnamon and five spices for 10 hours. An excellent cold beef trio indeed.We also ordered the 5-Veggie Tofu Cake - HKD80, a heathy but boring dish which went nicely with spicy sauce.Next came the long awaited "The Bucket" - HKD210, Rosemary Short Rib served in a wooden bucket. The short ribs were very tender after 11 hours of braising, but seriously the best was the caramelised carrots and the extremely glutinous tendon! totally feeling the collagen in it!Spicy Minced Beef Noodle - HKD70 was my favourite dish at Ngau Saam Gun. Savoury minced beef, caramelised onions, crisp ebi and springy noodles! One of the best in Hong Kong! Highly recommended!The Three-Way Mini Pig - HKD250 came in last cut into pieces and served in three interesting sauces, namely honey mustard, plum and pesto with garlic and onion. The pig was nicely roasted with crispy skin and tender meat. It was however a tad gamey which was unexpected. Sauce wise, the honey mustard and plum were both nice, but the pesto doesn't go with garlic and onion in my opinion.The dessert option is limited, we wanted to try the osmanthus glutinous cake but it was not available the day we went. So we went to somewhere else for dessert.Overall I was not too impressed by Ngau Saam Gun's interpretation of Western spiced Chinese dish as I found them not flavourful enough. Yet I really enjoy the quality of beef here. It is rather difficult to get such flavourful beef nowadays. Having said that I also found Ngau Saam Gun quite pricey, where I can easily get better food at Man Wah. The only thing that could get me back to visit Ngau Saam Gun can only be the delicious spicy minced beef noodles.…查看更多
