This is the second time I have visited this restaurant for lunch. The buffet is $98 + 10% service charge. I am always looking for fresh vegetables and I can get plenty of them here. Both days I started with really flavorful soups, Beef + Lemongrass and Vegetable with Shrimp Paste. The next thing I tried was the rolls. Tuna and Tofu rolls and minced beef on crispy rice. Over the two days the was Sauteed Morning Glory, Sweet Potatoes and Capsicum, Salad with Duck, Salad with Pork and Short

I don't really have the recollection of why K and I came here, but I do remember what we had, and what it was like =P Heres what we had: "Bread basket" comprised of sesame crackers and prawn chips, all very crunchy and yumm. "Lime soda" ($35) We both ordered a lime soda each to wash down our meal. It was very sour with lots of fresh time and lots of fizz. Totally my kind of lime-soda! "Vegetarian Curry"($120) Was a bowl of green curry that was chock full of assorted vegetables such as eggplant

We went to Song for company lunchon. The restaurant is pretty much empty when we arrive and during the entire lunch hour. They put 14 of us on a small table while there are plenty of space around. Food took a long time to prepare even though it's not busy, we tried to speed them up, but their reply was all food are made fresh.... When food finally arrive, it was very dispointing. we ordered some Pho Bo, and cold noodles. The noodles were too hard as if not fully cooked. The soup base do not h

This is by far the worst dining experience at Song's in my life worldwide! The waitresses there were remarkably rude and totally unprofessional keeping their social decency to the minimal as if they were trying to unplease their customers as much as possible. And regarding their food I must say they arent the worst of all I have had before; however with that kind of price (~$250 per person) I can get it anywhere else and with better service. So please don't go there my friend! We should have the

朋友住SOHO，適逄情人節，唔想被斬到一頸血就去左呢間，兩個人埋單要$230，喺呢區算平喇！我地叫左一個越式拼盆同一碗生牛肉河，越式拼盆份量都幾大，最後都係食唔晒。拼盆有粉卷，炸扎肉，蝦餅，春卷，蔗蝦，味道唔錯，不過春卷Ｄ皮比平時的厚，同埋粉卷放耐左Ｄ皮好靭，結果就被遺棄喇！而牛肉河個湯味道很鮮甜，好好味，係貴左Ｄ囉！呢度服務都唔錯，可能因為係高級地方，侍應態度都好親切。其實呢度附近有好多餐廳都好有情調，裝修都好靚，肯定係好貴架喇，不過唔食嘢都值得黎睇下，就係半山電梯既後段。

早陣子﹐有個在澳洲開越南餐館的朋友問我﹐高級的越南菜館在香港受落嗎﹖只想起在蘭桂坊的Indochine 1929﹐便告訴他香港沒有多少這樣的餐廳﹐而且食物質數與價錢不稱﹐我試過一次是不會再回去的了。怎知上個禮拜在Soho 找食的地方﹐碰上了這個久遺了的老朋友﹐至少有兩年沒有去過了﹗那就進去試試吧﹐看食物的質數有沒有保持好﹗依稀記得那時午餐是半自助的﹐頭盤和甜品都是自助﹐主菜就二選一。雖然選擇不多﹐但是味道還是可以的﹐最重要是價錢合理嘛﹐好像是每位$98 另加一。時至今日﹐價錢是便宜了$10﹐但是主菜是沒有了。只有那個選擇不多的自助餐檯﹕有一款湯﹐兩三個頭盤小吃﹐那個豆豉蒸魚片算是主菜了吧(算是最好吃﹐而且唯一的熱盤)﹐一個炒飯﹐一個炒米粉﹐一個甜品﹐就是這樣了﹐連咖啡和茶都不包。比這區的西餐廳還要貴﹗那天吃了什麼都不記得了﹐因為雖不致難吃﹐但也實在是太普通了﹗不過這裡的環境是不錯的﹐下次可以晚上來試試它的a la carte﹐希望比午餐好吧﹐因為價錢真的是挺貴呢﹗

聽聞SOHO腳下荷里活道,有間高級型格越南餐廳"Song",昨日朋友話想試下,結果推翻我的Chippy,走進此"酷店".一直主觀地覺得,東南亞菜,係擺唔到上大檯,今次,純悴抱著見識心態,尤其對我呢個食慣強記,意蘆等地mau越南菜館,直頭等如大鄉里出城,睇下高級越南菜,究竟係咩一回事.環境的確典型post soho格(注),越南比法蘭西統治左幾十,無論任何方面,不自覺地沾染左少少法國氣息.連帶此店格局,似食法國菜多一點.未坐暖先送一兜蝦片任添,幾好,脆得黎真係有蝦味.打開餐牌,話到明高級越南菜,價錢同一般Soho西餐廳價錢相若.實在有點汗顏,平時食開十九二十銀的牛河,呢度要九十大洋.其他主菜,百幾銀左右.頭盤用Rice paper包住的卷,理應叫米卷掛,賣相非常之唔錯,味道就好一般.餡料都算多元,有蝦有Tuna,由其Tuna果件,仲加埋Wasabi.食壽司乎?一間越南菜館對唔對辦,生牛河就係最主要的指標,九十大洋的牛河,湯底好鮮甜,牛肉亦有肉味,質感鮮嫩,呢兩樣,其實係咪價值$90的牛河應有水準?平時lunch去意蘆,一個牛河,都係$10.貴少少強記,$21.老趙,都係咁上下價.鴨仔蛋呢

introduced by one of my colleagues...the decoration is full of art feeling like candles, drawings, stainless steel accessories. pomelo salad very fresh & specialpapaya salad is just so so..chicken & crab roll is just ok and i think "rice paper" in harbour city is better..beef cube is VERY good, only 70% done so the texture is excellent!!!"pork face meat" with noodles also very good, trusted that the noodles is watered with ice then fried and is perfect matched with the meat.curry chicken & swee

同朋友仔食飯, 可能KC提過話係條小巷到入, 所以特別留意, 好快就搵到!成8點都只得一檯客, 餐\廳幾蚊型, 位幾逼; 環境格調唔多似食越南, 好彩食具係囉! 青木瓜沙律都話明係我至愛之一, 今次又點會唔叫呢? 呢個有蝦仲有楊桃, 唔辣, 清甜但好平凡. 再一個炸軟殼蟹Rice Paper Rolls, 炸軟殼蟹好得, 但朋友嫌菜苦口; 跟住上係鮮菇炒檬粉, 好淡味, 鮮菇亦無果種香味, 唔掂! 仲有兩碟肉類, 一個係燒雞塊, 另一個係炒牛柳, 燒雞塊有好大陣炭味, 食落幾苦, 唔接受的話唔好叫; 反而個炒牛柳做得幾好, 牛柳舊舊大件, 好嫩好有肉汁, 難得唔炒到全熟, 吃時點附上蒜汁, 好fresh! 食物水準比預期差, 食完之後無咩香料味留低, 感覺同其他地方食好唔同!再夜, 人客愈愈多, 但幾乎清一色係鬼! 再講服務, 好一般, 侍仔可以話係無咩笑容, 只係交功\課咁.註: 呢度話晚飯7點後先開始營業喎!

有日朋友請食飯，帶左來呢度。由荷李活道果邊入，小路的兩旁有小蠟燭引路，幾有趣。裝修幾好張張檯都有蠟燭有氣氛同格調，情侶撐檯腳一流。兩個人點了木瓜芒果蝦沙律，招牌推介吞拿魚卷同炸軟殼蟹。沙律有青檸汁同芒果幾醒胃，但蝦就麻麻地，所以除左蝦之外成碟掃清。吞拿魚卷幾清新，加入蔬菜及香葉，剛好中和炸軟殼蟹的油膩，不過就適合夏天食多一點。埋單四佰幾，都算物有所值。但坦白講麻麻地飽，因人地請唔敢叫太多野，結果之後走左去食牛腩河。

The food was only so-so. But the service was truly terrible. I have never been to a restaurant where the waiters are so rude! Never going back again.
