It’s my second time dining in AMMO. Last time about several months earlier, I had afternoon high tea with my friends there. It was not a good experience, as there was road construction work right outside the restaurant. This time, we had 5 of us for lunch. The table they arranged was a bit small for us.

We selected our dishes from the set lunch menu, which offered 3 options for the appetizers and main dishes (which were all pasta) respectively, and 2 options for desserts. The choices offered in the set lunch menu were balanced and attractive. For starter, I had the ham with sardinia bread, quail egg, and melon shooter. The presentation of this dish was very appealing, items were of bite-sized. It’s good to start a meal with the melon shooter as mouth amuser. I chose the tagliolini with John Dory, capers, black olives and basil sauce as my main dish. The portion was generous and ingredients were of high quality. I am not sure of the tagliolini (a kind of long cylindrical egg pasta) here was fresh-made or not, anyway the pasta and the sauce was tasty and aromatic. John Dory (white-flesh fish) was served in small fillets and the meat was fresh and buttery. But, my friends and I all found the pasta dishes rather salty, I thought part of the salty taste came from the capers. Then I had the passion fruit tart with sorbet. I am sorry to say that the tart reminded me of the lemon tart from Pacific Coffee.

I could see that the restauranteur and the interior designer have tried making the place look stylish and classy. But since the place is not really that big, I find the decor a bit over-done and ‘busy’. Also, I am a very sound-sensitive person, and don’t like the extensive use of floor-to-ceiling glass panels, metal materials and mirrors which reflect sound, making the place very noisy. Taking the opportunity, I have to thank my friend, Miss V. for treating us the lunch and it’s always nice to have re-unions and lunches with friends in new places.

我一向也吃歡吃 canapés 及 tapas 之類的小吃，好下酒之餘亦啱哂心多多的在下。「AMMO」此金鐘人氣食肆已是第二次到訪，這次公司book了此場搞 function, 有機會試盡一系列 signature 的 canapés。放眼望去，已令人覺得心花正怒放！冷盤的小食，分別有「Smoked Scotland Salmon with Sour Cream on Toast」「Foie Gras Terrine on Toasted Brioche」「Crab Meat with Tomato」無得傾，我最愛吃的一定是「煙三文魚多士」，三文魚吃下去口感肥滋滋，配酸忌廉很匹配。另外，「蟹肉蕃茄串」不論外型與味道都很惹人討好，香草味也是香過「岑麗香」，送白酒一流。熱食代表有「Deep Fried Mini Pizza with Smoked Cheese」估不到 pasta 也可以用來做 canapés，切成小方塊，芝士將肉粒與麵條黏起來，拿上手也不易散，抵讚。甜心系列則有「Chocolate Mousse with Strawberry Jelly」「Fresh Fruit Tar

久違了的餐廳,因為知道是now TV 煮角的Tony開, 試訂位數次都滿了又聽聞很難訂位, 終於決定一個月前訂好位。因放工後才去又不熟香港路, 訂了7:30當天晚上還下著雨, 靠openrice的地圖指南, 由Conrad酒店到正義道, 黑夜中條路望上望下又看不見有餐廳的存在。真是有點焦急便試試向上行, 終於見到餐廳的牌, 便走上前, 但路好像封了, 那時一位停車場職員走過來問是否要去Ammo, 便指點我們餐廳大門裝修, 要再行上轉左入大廈後, 再向旁的樓梯向下走。踏進餐廳, 一目了然, 前面有3張靠窗的卡坐, 中央兩張高長餐桌, 後面3張四人坐桌, 餐廳真的不大。坐好後, 面向酒吧, 環境紛暗。這時一位親切的男士問是否需要水, 再送上菜牌, 我們三個人點了4個頭盤 - Ham Croquette, Fresh Fig, Suckling Pig 及 Langoustine Basil. 可惜得個春卷好些! 因見酒吧都佔餐廳好大位置, 酒水應該了得, 便問經理的推介, 我們分別點了 Ammo's Cooler, Likechee 及Tropicality. 其中一杯好

天花的燈飾亦非常時尚別緻，以流線及圓形主形態，材料亦以銅為主。

餐廳主色以橙及黑為主，帶些冷傲，唯我獨尊之感！非常配合窗外山林穏袐之氣氛！

我們二人安排在靠窗的小枱，可以一面欣賞寧静的山林景，一面品嚐美食。中午餐牌選擇精而不多，主要是海鮮類的意大利菜式。

略為觀察一番在坐的其他顧客，坐大枱的似是一家人，有老有嫩，衣着名牌，想必Ammo成功吸引了富裕人士為常客，能够寧静地週日與家人相聚，的確比在嘈吵的中式酒樓舒適！

餐前麵包新鮮熱辣，富橄欖香，包身入口軟棉而麵包皮煙靱，配以上乗的意大利陳醋及橄欖油，非常出色！六片麵包，前菜未到，已被我們清盆，忍不着尚要加添！

Ammo 晚上餐牌跟中午幾乎一樣，只是多了十多道佐酒小吃，因為主要賣點是酒精飮品及輕食，此店價錢合理，值得重臨嚐嚐晚餐。

餐後從通往藝術中心之出入口離開，順道参觀，難得激活可能是睡眠了的藝術細胞，別有一番感受。

The best thing about hiking in Hong Kong is that within a very short time, you will be transported from a concrete jungle to a lush haven, replete with trees and other greenery. Tony Cheng (of The Drawing Room, Le Salon Restaurant et Croissanterie and Hainan Shaoye) has recreated this teleport-like experience for his customers, by setting up a new restaurant called AMMO in a one-storey glass building in Admiralty.

AMMO stands for Asia, Modern, Museum and Original, qualities that Mr Cheng hopes to convey through this establishment. Like his other ventures in Hong Kong, AMMO exudes an air of elegance and class. This restaurant at the Asia Society is located at a site which was formerly a British military explosives magazine compound. The historical site is given a modern makeover, with a glass-and-copper theme, large leather chairs and suspended copper spiral staircases giving the space a sleek, sophisticated and eclectic decor.

The restaurant’s seats are very limited, and bookings for lunch and dinner have to be made well in advance. However, if you are happy to sit at the bar table, you will be able to dine here much sooner. Prices for dinner, while not stratospheric, are definitely not cheap, but a great value 3 course set lunch (including coffee/tea) at HK$228 + 10% is available.

本地名廚Tony Cheng又一新餐廳! 位於金鐘正義道的 AMMO，室內設計簡約有風格，落地玻璃外面一片翠綠。雖然地中海料理味道一般，但餐廳的氣氛讓人彷如置身在綠洲。

(1) We started off with the Aquacotta with Japanese Egg, Winter Vegetables and Pecorino. The Japanese Egg looked glorious, and its smoothness was alluring. However, the soup, while thick and filling, could benefit from a heavier sprinkling of salt.

(2) Next was the Smoked Salmon with Creme Fraiche, Persimmon Coulis and Salmon Roe. The ingredients of this dish were vibrant, with the smoked salmon, creme fraiche and fish roe making for an appealing combination of flavours. However, our complaint was that the smoked salmon was rather thin and flaky.

(3) The Octopus Salad with Tomato Bread and Date Tomatoes followed. The octopus was supple and plump, but the tomato bread was not so tasty – it was a piece of dried up bread covered in tomato sauce, and it made us wonder how it was supposed to add to this dish. The salad was too small and did not fill us up at all, and the ingredients failed to come together.

(5) Surprisingly, the Homemade Parpadelle with Braised Veal Shank Ragout turned out to be a sublime dish which lit up the entire meal, and it was the best parpadelle I have had in Hong Kong so far. Perfectly al dente and stretchy, the pasta had the perfect thickness and width and the sauce and the parpadelle were like a match made in heaven. The veal shank ragou, tender and packed with flavours, was also excellently done.

(6) The Risotto with Tombinambur, Vanilla and Baby Squid had a lot of exciting and exuberant flavours. The baby squids packed a powerful punch, and the chewiness was enlightening. The risotto, cooked with tombinambur (a tuber from North America that tastes a bit like potatoes), tasted distinctive and delicious. We wished that the portion of this amazing risotto was slightly larger.

(7) There were two desserts to choose from, and I tried the Sfogliantine with Cinnamon and Muscat Grapes first. This dessert, admittedly, was very pretty – the transparent muscat grapes looked delicate, and the raspberries were beautifully lined up. However, the sfogliantine (a type of pastry) was rather soggy and the dessert was also too simplistic and lacked layers.

(8) I preferred the Blueberry Mousse with Mix berries Compote. The slightly citric syrup cut through the creaminess of the mousse and fresh berries lifted the flavours of the dessert.

Portions verged on the ungenerous side, the service could have been more attentive and eager given how smart the restaurant was, and the modern Mediterranean cuisine did not amaze us. However, with an opulent setting and a view that overlooks a rare green jungle, this restaurant is bound to be able to impress your loved ones.

The angel hair with uni was a nice blend with a generous portion of sea urchin.

And the ravioli with Peking duck filling was a good combination but like I said nothing new to me.

The fettucini with ossobuco was also quite OK according to my friend, though the portion of osso buco was a bit light.

My wife and I tried this restaurant for dinner on the weekend recently. We were quite excited especially given how much hype this restaurant has received and how long it takes to get a reservation (which I discovered later is due to how few tables they have). Unfortunately, after trying two appetizers, two entrees and two desserts, my wife and I agreed that this was a huge let down and we really did not enjoy ourselves. A restaurant like this, to be honest, would not survive in New York (where we're from) for more than 6 months.

Menu - very disappointing. Supposedly "tapas" but it definitely was not. Very small menu - maybe 8 - 10 items as appetizers + 8 - 10 pastas. No meat, no seafood, nothing. And definitely not many "tapas" as they like to claim. There is also a snacks selection part of the drinks menu which was fine but also very small. Definitely not what we expected at a supposedly decent restaurant

Food - also very disappointing. Appetizers were okay but definitely nothing special nor memorable. Pastas were terrible. Noodles were stuck together - just like the pasta I would make at home by myself when I was cooking for myself in college. Some noodles were undercooked b/c they were extremely chewy, almost crunchy. Cheese was clumped together which looked and tasted disgusting. My wife and I didn't finish our food b/c it was that bad.

(We actually just went to another restaurant afterwards to eat again since AMMO was quite bad)

Prices - not bad actually, quite reasonable. Much cheaper than what I had anticipated. Pastas maybe around $100 - 200. Appetizers around $80 - 150. Not unreasonable

Service - terrible. We had to ask several times for very basic items such as water, etc. Frankly, at a nice restaurant, we should not even have to ask! The waiter should monitor since that is his / her job. Also, the attitude was terrible - not friendly, very aloof, and really wanted to just write down food and move on. Definitely not the type of service we're used to and expect from a typical AVERAGE restaurant in New York. At the end, even to pay, nobody would come by to pick up my credit card. Waiters would clean up the table next to ours and despite waving my arms and saying "excuse me" several times, they still failed to acknowledge. I eventually walked up to the waiter and handed him the credit card directly. Again, this is not accepable for a restaurant that markets itself as being remotely "nice".

In conclusion, I would not recommend this restaurant to any of my friends since this would truly be a waste of time and money, In HK where there are many choices, I think you have many other better alternatives to choose from.

AMMO is one of the hottest and most talked about restaurant opening this year, and deservedly so! I finally had the chance to dine there with a few friends and left with great satisfaction of the food quality, staff service and overall dining experience.

AMMO is elegantly situated in a glass box in the new minimalist Asia Society Center in Admiralty, right across from Conrad Hotel. The restaurant is surrounded by lush greens and overlooks the natural landscape of the mountain, which makes you forget that you are in a concrete jungle and 5 minute away from Central. This is literally a heavenly oasis next to the CBD.

The décor is unlike anything in Hong Kong: Metallic touches, copper plated tables, green sofas, giant staircase chandeliers, etc could all be summed up in one word: “WOW”. It gives a retro-modern feel which fits perfectly with the story behind the historical site (former British explosives magazine) where AMMO is located.

After we were promptly seated at 7:30pm, we ordered a few tapas to share. One standout was the “Canaries red prawn with panna cotta” dish. A fresh and flavorful red prawn (cooked slightly raw inside, which was perfect) ingeniously placed on top of a milky bed of panna cotta, creating an exciting contrast of textures and flavors. Loved it!

For mains I had the “langoustine with lasagna” dish. Am not a typical lasagna fan but was tempted by the langoustine. Turned out to be a brilliant choice as the langoustine was cooked to perfection, as was the texture of the lasagna, which had chopped langoustine meat sandwiched between the layers.

For desserts I opted for the lighter choice which was the “Prosecco jelly with lime sorbet”. It came beautifully constructed in a martini glass. Just the right sweetness and acidity - a wonderful conclusion to a wonderful dinner.

The lights were dimmed around 9:30 and the music heats up, which gives a great ambiance for drinks so we lingered around after dinner and enjoyed a few cocktails before heading home full, tipsy and happy.

Having missed a lecture at the Asia Society two nights ago, my radiant female companion and I decided to stop into Ammo for (what we thought would be) a pleasant drink and maybe dinner. We’d heard the hype of this place before and had been intending to make reservations for dinner there, but as we were right next door, we figured that this would be a good time to pop in to check it out. The tables were full, but there was space for us at the bar.

We first noticed it is certainly ‘intimate’, but with a pleasing brass-themed aesthetic. The bar is quite beautiful, though the bar top is so high that the bar chairs are amongst the highest I’ve ever witnessed. Be careful sitting on these after your climb, lest you fall off and sprain an ankle or break a hip. And interestingly, there are few places to put your feet – a very important part of maintaining comfort when sitting up so high. I have broken my back a couple of times and the ability to adequately support my feet, high or low, is something I do value immensely as it adds tremendously to the comfort level and the ability to sit for relatively long periods.

After our ascent up the barstools, we ordered a glass of wine and a cheese board. The wine list is not bad and the cheese board is sufficient enough for two people (though my charming companion was emphatic that Parmesan cheese has no place on a cheeseboard – personally, it seemed a nice complement to the softs and I have bigger battles to fight in this world). The cheeseboard was adorned with a small cluster of grapes, but, surprisingly, the grapes were rather dirty and pathetic looking, so much so that I hand rubbed each clean with a napkin before giving them to my lovely companion.

A few minutes after the climb up to the seat of our barstools, we both could not help but notice how bright the interior was – which was so interesting, considering the detail to the aesthetic, they would light the place up like a warehouse. The lighting is so bright, it literally becomes painful. To the staff we hinted a few times, and then asked explicitly, to turn the lights down; however, they insisted that the lights would only go down after 930, once they stopped dinner service. Sadly for us, it was barely 730 and, on uncomfortable stools in such a painfully bright environment, we elected to just have the one drink and then leave lest our eyes start watering from discomfort.

I have to say, prior to this encounter it had not occurred to me to join or post on OpenRice, however, this brief encounter compelled me to join Openrice to share our experience. Had we waited two months to finally get a table, I think we would have been rather disappointed – granted, we did not eat the food (I cannot say how it tastes, but I can say that it cannot be missed under those lights). So, these tiny details could have made our experience much more enjoyable:

1. Softer/dimmer lighting

2. The barstools are tall and beautiful, but they could use a few pragmatic fixes to make them more comfortable

3. Definitely more attention to cleanliness/aesthetics of the tiny little grape clusters goes on a cheeseboard – (I mean, seriously, we’re only talking about 6-8 grapes here) – they shouldn’t look like the rejects of Wellcome.

4.Maybe a close proxy for Parmesan on the cheeseboard – but this is not a deal breaker.

With these little points addressed, I could see potentially going back before 9:30. However, without any changes, I would only stop by again if I was invited by someone else and didn’t have the opportunity to suggest something else or happened to be within 20 metres of the establishment after 9:30 and was craving an immediate glass of wine. Will certainly not wait five minutes, let alone two months, for dinner reservations – unless I hear they’ve addressed some of these tiny details.

The gods must have favoured us because we managed to get a table within two months of booking on a weekend evening for my bf's birthday while his parents were in town for the weekend. This place is crazily booked out. Initially I was a bit sceptical about über-hyped restaurants, but after visiting I can understand why it's so coveted.

Firstly, the setting is at the top of the slope opposite the British Consulate, standing alone with a nondescript and dimly light entrance with the words "Ammo". Walking inside the former magazine gap, passing through a slated tile and pebbled walkway alongside the hollowed out space separating the restaurant and a marbled wall gives one an eerie sense of the historical significance this building holds. The restaurant is cozy and intimate, with tables spaced apart, decorated with the impressive bronze wall on one side where the bar is, and floor-to-ceiling glass panes on the other three. Two high tables are placed in the middle of the room, and on one side there are two comfy sofa booths with low tables which creates a chilled out, relaxed atmosphere. We were initially seated at the table right by the door, but after asking if we could move one further in, the staff happily obliged. The voice level was surprisingly well controlled, and at no point did we feel like we were in a packed restaurant. The waiters will attend when you beckon, but not otherwise. Wearing white gloves when serving us our food was a bit over the top, but it's harmless.

The drinks list was substantial to satisfy everyone's needs - a non-alc for the bf's mother, a G&T for the dad, a cold Asahi for the bf, and a lychee cosmo for me. The two kinds crusty bread were deliciously gobbled up with dabs of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. We ordered several tapas to share, and each came on a spoon placed on a long narrow serving dish. The waiter informed us that each dish usually comes in three pieces, but they can bump it up for four for our group. Very thoughtful, and as service should be.

The sirloin steak with soy sauce was juicy, tender and expertly seasoned. The croquette was gooey with melted cheese inside and crispy on the outside. the Viet spring rolls with langoustine had a nice chunky piece of meat inside, but alas the skin was too thick and hard, and also tasted like it was refried. The suckling pig had a big chunk of fatty crackling which wasn't really my cup of tea, but the meat underneath was tender and moist, if somewhat salty. On top of that we ordered a crab salad on tomato puree from the appetisers, which had a delicate taste and chilled to the right temperature.

The mains are all pasta of different sizes and shapes. The three of them ordered the pork meatballs with parpadelle, while I had the ragout with fettucini. The pasta was al dente, had a deep yellow hue, which was complemented by the flavoursome but not overpowering ragout sauce, with the fresh herb keeping it fresh and simple.

As for desserts, we had two pan fried brioche with ice cream, a classic tiramisu, and a prosecco jelly. All but the jelly lived up to our expectations, unfortunately the jelly was a bit too gelatinous and stiff, therefore transforming the originally light dessert into a dense blob which even the ice cream scoop decorated with gold flecks could not save.

There was a chocolate mousse which, together with the lychee cosmo, were special items where by proceeds would be donated to the Asian breast cancer society. A great venue offering good food at reasonable prices with a social twist, what's there not to like? That is, if you can get a reservation.

The location and the deco of this place is brilliant- away from traffic and big shopping malls. The deco was simple with earthly elements which fits right into the area. We booked the place three months ago and was really looking forward to this.
Our gang of three arrived at 12:45pm, the restaurant was not full. We had our table right away and bread was served soon after. Good crunchy country style bread with crispy crust and olives. So far so good.

We ordered a set lunch with mushroom tart, pasta with tomato sauce. We also ordered some a la car dishes- seared scallops, quail salad and pasta with ragu sauce.

Mushroom tart arrived first, it looked dry but again looks can be deceiving....wow, it is not dry -it is stone dry. When a knife cut into it, the whole thing crumples like cutting into a beggars chicken with a hammer. We had to send the dish back and graciously, they replaced stone tart with the daily soup which was barely tasty with drops of balsamic vinegar added.

Scallop dish was again very average, served only lukewarm with unnamed slices of veggie. Quail was cooked crispy on the outside which looked pitiful on very small portion of green that can be counted with 5 fingers...stingy portion...

The two pasta were ok with the pasta with ragu sauce was the better of the two. Pasta was fresh but there is room for improvement on the sauces. Tomato sauce was so diluted which can not stay on the pasta and we had to spoon the sauce from the bottom of the plate many times before finishing the dish...

Lunch set came with coconut creme brulee and coconut ice cream. Good cup of cappuccino was the finale to our very anticipated but disappointing meal.

Soup: Gurnard / Minestrone

OK but not exceptional.

The fish soup tasted just ordinary, lack of distinguishable favors. The vegetable soup? Milder than the typical Minestrone.

Main: Tagliolini / Angelhair

The tuna tagliolini again is lack of favor. Al dente? in a way. The tuna compose and the sauce are also lack of taste, if not character.

The uni angelhair is better, given there are uni. But if you are a sushi fan, the uni is not in its best condition.

The apricot mouse is a fail. It can't be a mouse given the texture is close to being a condensed paste.

Overall, over priced, over rated. But a nice place to see, and to be seen.
