Arrived on time for our table, got seated immediately, warm atmosphere, not loud music, menues were handed over immediately and the special of the days presented in best eminem-rap-speed fashion.
For snack we were served nice crispy chipssticks which were refilled the whole eveing. We pretty fast settled on our mains and asked the waiter for a recommendation matching our selection, we took his advise for a 350HK$ Rose, which turned out to be excellent and easy going.
There is enough space here to feel comfortable.

Dinner:
All meals were served at the same time, which was perfect as we were sharing, portions are ranging from big (Ribs) to tiny (Carpaccio). Everything was nicely heated and off we went!

Salmon Carpaccio:
The only disappointment this night, 6 tiny pieces of average salmon and scallop. For 88HK$ we expected something else. This could very well be the sushi from next door, cut into little pieces.

Gwailo Wanton:
Our favorite this night. Nicely done raviolis, filled with yummy roasted chicken in a very delicious creamy and flavourful sauce.

Gwailo Wanton - Great!

Beef & Pork Lasagne:
Average, unfortunately a bit too less herbs in the lasagne for our taste buds, the pork and beef was alright, the texture of the lasagne as well, if there would be a bit more cheese on top, and a bit more pepper and salt inside, it would get a good rating

Full Set of Pork Ribs:
Great, the portion is definitely big enough for 2, the meat is cooked very tender and has a nice smoky taste, it comes with potato slices, mixed in a nice herb sauce, can recommend!

------------------------------
After Dinner:

No Dessert this time as we didn't really see anything "new" on the menu, asked for the bill and got it delivered to our table in very quick (and fancy!) fashion!
------------------------------
Other Remarks:
The service was outstanding we have to admit, not as in "very good" (which was of course the case) no, more as in, "Haven't seen such an old fashioned server since last year in France Province.

A must try! Fantastic food at a very reasonable price with great wine. I had the Salmon and Scallop carpaccio with French beans, coriander and paprika oil to start with and a glass of Scarlet Skirts rose,for the mains Wagyu steak with garlic mash potato and creamy spinach with a Chris hill reserve Pinot noir and the yogurt panna cota to polish off a fine meal. The manager was very welcoming and accommodated us exceptionally well. I highly recommend Jaa kitchen!

Look longer before you eat - looks greatWent to Jaa Kitchen for a quick after work meal. Chose the burger Very clever using the English muffin rather than a traditional bread bun. Generous cheese layer, Manchego if I remember, then onion jam and a spicy ketchup, chorizo. Sweet potato fires on the side, very nice plate.My second vist here and must go back for a full meal. Was by myself and the staff entertained me very well.

this is the worst experience i had ever had in my life....
last night I went there with friends celebrating her birthday. we booked 7 pm and we arrived around 6:55.
staff there were getting things ready and a manager (Ian, who I believe is a bristish according to his ascent) served us and asked us to sit down
as they were handling with the set up we went outside to walk around in the nearby area which we were excited to have our dinner here.

after coming back to the restaurant the waiter brought us to our table and that we start chitchatting as one of our friends not yet came (reserved for 4 ppl, 3 came and wait for 1), and then the manager came and said he was ready to take our order and we said we are waiting for a friend who was coming. Then the story came, below are the conversations I recalled:

"we are waiting for our friends"
Ian, "when is she coming"
"around 15 mins"
Ian, "We are doing business here. We are serving the best food in hong kong and we have a long reservation list. Our guest chef ....blah blah blah....can I take your order within 5 min"

at this moment both our friends and I were totally out of word, couldn't imagine a restaurant runner could be that rude (yes RUDE)

"so what's wrong if we would like to order after our friend came?"
Ian, "if you know your friend is late, why don't you reserve 7:30pm? You come at 7:00pm and I gave you the table at 7:00pm"
"so....what if we order the dishes one by one?"
Ian, "don't play games with me, madam. don't play games"
"so you are asking us to leave now?"
Ian, "if you want to leave, you can. It's up to you"

OMG! what kind of service is that? Yuck, I wanna vomit onto his face. Such a rude guy! Never tried being insulted like that.
Serving the best food in Hong Kong with the worst service in the world? Never....never...never come again.

位於荷李活道以南的Soho區一向是個廣為人知的美食天堂，各國美食可算是應有盡有，相比荷李活道以北、以家品小店而聞名的Noho區的確熱鬧得多。不過近期在Noho區悄悄地展開了一個小革命，夾集在眾多的家品店行列之中，出現了一批規模細小的咖啡茶座和温馨食店，Jaa Kitchen 便正是革命的其中一分子。對每一個新的客人來說，找到Jaa Kitchen 的所在相信會是個挑戰。地址所寫的荷里活道61至63號，在荷里活道其實找不到蹤影。四出查探之下，最終要轉到卑利街側的一條小巷才能發現到餐廳的蹤跡。Jaa Kitchen 面積細小，餐枱只可放七、八張左右，但氣氛悠閒自在，非常迎合蘇豪的個性，令食客有如致身於歐洲街角的小店一樣。餐廳裝飾略帶東歐風格，在陰暗的燈光陪襯下，不禁帶出點神祕而憂鬱的感覺。餐廳標榜做新派歐陸菜，但從餐牌所見，除了歐陸風情之外，菜式亦大有東南亞色彩。午市套餐三道菜分別有$145、$165、$185三款選擇，價錢視乎所選的主菜而定。緬甸軟殼蟹、配粟米、泰國涼瓜 (Grade: 3/5)頭盤點來東南亞菜常見的軟殼蟹，經餐廳經理介紹下，原來廚師特別用了緬甸的地道煮法，再加上粟米

位於荷李活道以南的Soho區一向是個廣為人知的美食天堂，各國美食可算是應有盡有，相比荷李活道以北、以家品小店而聞名的Noho區的確熱鬧得多。不過近期在Noho區悄悄地展開了一個小革命，夾集在眾多的家品店行列之中，出現了一批規模細小的咖啡茶座和温馨食店，Jaa Kitchen 便正是革命的其中一分子。

對每一個新的客人來說，找到Jaa Kitchen 的所在相信會是個挑戰。地址所寫的荷里活道61至63號，在荷里活道其實找不到蹤影。四出查探之下，最終要轉到卑利街側的一條小巷才能發現到餐廳的蹤跡。

Jaa Kitchen 面積細小，餐枱只可放七、八張左右，但氣氛悠閒自在，非常迎合蘇豪的個性，令食客有如致身於歐洲街角的小店一樣。餐廳裝飾略帶東歐風格，在陰暗的燈光陪襯下，不禁帶出點神祕而憂鬱的感覺。

餐廳標榜做新派歐陸菜，但從餐牌所見，除了歐陸風情之外，菜式亦大有東南亞色彩。午市套餐三道菜分別有$145、$165、$185三款選擇，價錢視乎所選的主菜而定。

緬甸軟殼蟹、配粟米、泰國涼瓜 (Grade: 3/5)
頭盤點來東南亞菜常見的軟殼蟹，經餐廳經理介紹下，原來廚師特別用了緬甸的地道煮法，再加上粟米和泰國涼瓜作配菜。

軟殼蟹份量雖小，但入口酥脆，味道跟泰國菜館的差不多。配菜相反更加搶鏡，薄切後的泰國涼瓜片遠看有點似海產的螄蚶，配搭新鮮的粟米粒，清甜和苦澀味融和一起，味道討好。

慢烤春雞、伴以茄子和酥炸鮮秋葵 (Grade: 3.5/5)
等了差不多二十分鐘，主菜終於現身，先試一下散叫的慢烤春雞。

燻黑了的雞皮雖然令賣相扣了些少分數，但味道未受影響。在慢火烹調之下，雞肉的肉質保持得非常嫩滑。調味方面特別加入東歐菜常用的紅辣椒粉，令入口更加惹味，再伴以茄子和炸鮮秋葵，對開胃消滯大有幫助。
