The Bites & Co.

記得上年去完意大利，令我最難忘既係pizza, 當地人鍾意一個人一整塊既pizza, 薄而脆， 返到黎香港周圍搵返呢種口感既pizza, 始終得一間係大嶼山既kitchen先食到但好開心今日終於比我係市區都搵到一間，而且近我返工既土瓜灣舖頭外面有濃厚既外國餐廳風格，有別於土瓜灣地道既餐廳，佢分開左右兩間舖頭，兩個唔同menu， 另一間主要輕食，沙律，toast等等。我食果間就有pizza, 意粉甚至鋸扒佢下晝既menu相對簡單，除此之外就係牆上面既扒類，舖頭唔大，最多坐16人左右，牆上面掛外國擺設，亦吸引到外國人入黎幫襯我地今次唔係嗌set, 係叫menu上既食物焗薯皮4件，厚厚既芝士有少少肉碎，好香，熱辣辣，食落口有好重既薯蓉味，好快就食哂成舊，但礙於要留肚，唔可以食多舊墨汁配魷魚 自家制麵條（粗麵）粗麵條真係要一讚，煙韌爽口，墨汁味道唔濃，有少少張左個口，加埋魷魚大大舊夠爽口，整個麵做得好出色，唯一不足既地方係太小麵條，試到少少就要停手鮮蟹肉汁 自家制麵條（幼麵）幼都食落去有啲似天使麵，淋身。相反呢個麵既份量算多，但因為加落濃蟹肉汁度，感覺就好似一餅麵咁痴埋一舊，食落口感覺普通，雖然都爽口，加埋蟹肉汁，碎芝士，乾身菜，味道尚算可以燒烤汁雞翼十隻，不可雙併水牛城味既雞翼，waiter哥哥話只係唔辣同辣既分別。但係十隻咁多同一款味又好似太多。雞翼放係一個鐵架上，下面放左石春，黎既時候仲有一個精緻紅色盤用黎放骨頭，賣相極好。而且雞翼比一層濃濃既醬包住，淨係進到都想食。食落口醬汁味道豐富，唔係得蜜糖味，反而覺得真係似水牛城雞翼走辣，而且雞肉入面都業得有味，整個食物除左賣相，質素都好好，如果放底既石春都係熱辣辣，幫忙座熱啲雞翼既話就無得彈四季芝士薄餅好香濃既芝士同番茄味道，而且肉碎份量剛好，最perfect係佢既薄，用刀切開後係要用扶住塊餅食，或者用义捲埋個餅放落口食，醬汁同肉碎就可以一口過食多啲。其實一個男士食哂一整個薄餅絕對無難道。同waiter哥哥講想要芝士粉，佢話無粉，轉頭係廚房磨左啲一塊塊既芝士出黎，好香濃既芝士味，夾埋個薄餅一齊食，好濃既芝士香味，不愧為招牌薄餅雖然落order到食物上枱要30分鐘左右，但十分鐘內上哂幾款野食，而且熱辣辣，食物質素亦非常好，最緊要賣相亦令人口水流。650蚊左右食到以上既午餐，性價比算高，讚…查看更多

呢間西餐廳係土瓜灣唔記得開左幾多年, 經過見到有人食但總係冇入過去食, 最近因為同朋友講起, 於是就黎試下~間餐廳有2個舖位, 裝修幾靚, 叫左水牛雞翼, 炸魚薯條, Burger, 水牛雞翼辣味適中, 有10隻, 好好食, 特別係個醬汁, 食得出係自家製 炸魚薯條, 炸魚個脆漿同魚有少少分離, 但魚身都幾滑, 個醬汁係幾好食, 友人勁讚呢到嘅醬汁話唔同出面果d , 食得出係自己調製。我就最欣賞個burger, 有驚喜, 個肉好juice, 唔乾身, 份量幾大個, 比想像中好, 粗薯條亦都好香脆, 3樣野都係即叫即整, 所以好夠熱值得一提係餐廳門口有張notice話座位有限, 晚市人頭要over $130一位, 其實呢張notice 都係阻礙我去幫襯嘅原因因為本身個餐牌入面d野都唔平, 求其點d都過 $130, 唔寫完出來反而令我唔想光顧。…查看更多

第四次入黎食，Menu 以及職員似乎都轉咗，友人最中意食薯仔班㦸帶子沙律，所以例牌會點。見到櫃台棒去一碟熱辣辣西班牙飯，傳來太香了於是亦點了一客，可惜食落除左入面D烤肉夠香之外，D飯認真麻麻。西班牙乳豬有些少驚喜，似重組好原本撕開一條條既乳豬肉配蘋果醬，似燒鵝蘸酸梅醬效果。黑松露菌湯咸咸咸。…查看更多

My friend passed by this place and got attracted by the dessert menu. Therefore, we decided to stop by for dessert after having dinner. We ordered 2 desserts (~$80 each) to split for 4 people. Then we were told that they have a minimum charge for $130 per person during dinner hours. I have no comment about the food since I didn't even try anything. I was really surprised by the attitude and service. When the restaurant had at least a few open tables around 8:30pm (no sign of customers waiting/coming), they didn't even bother to serve us dessert. I totally agree for minimum charge but $130 just seems a little bit ridiculous. …查看更多

Smart bunny 與Mr Bunny 於當晚大約七時多到訪，很多想點的菜式已經售完（無語⋯），唯有點些還可吃的⋯點了蟹肉焗薯皮，肉醬意粉和凱薩沙律。先來兩個熱麵包，味道不錯。凱蕯沙律很大盆很足料，不錯。肉醬意粉是美式口味汁是較酸的，smart bunny 個人不愛吃太酸的汁。蟹肉焗薯皮味道可以，但Mr bunny 投訴薯仔肉太厚，焗薯皮的薯肉應該切薄點。要投訴的是後門油壓式的門，一開了便很久也合不上，侍應們經常進進出出，令人整頓飯也吃北風。…查看更多

I visited The Bites two weeks ago with my parents. It's one of the few western cafes in the neighbourhood. It was Christmas and the restaurant was festively decorated. The restaurant was half full. My parents ordered the whole-day breakfast and I decided to take the risk of ordering a squid ink spaghetti. It was an average dining experience. Despite bragging about imported French croissant, we found it flat and soft, lacking the distinct light and airy texture that croissants should have. It tasted like an ordinary softroll, as if it's being reheated over and again. The scrambled eggs were overcooked and bland. The coffee redeemed itself though. My squid ink spaghetti was a bit better. Though the squid was a undercooked, the pasta was al dente and the portion was appropriate. But being charged $150+ for one pasta, I was wishing for more flavour and 'wow'. Service was so-so, waiters wore a blank face - probably the effect of working on Christmas day? Anyways, it was passable experience and I decided to give them the benefit of doubt. It wasn't on my list of places I'd vow not to return - yet.  I revisited The Bites on 1Jan15. There weren't a lot of choices of restaurants as it was a public holiday. Oh dear... there I saw the MK-looking waitress again. She gave us a cold stare when I walked through the door, didnt even bother to offer to seat us. I had to ask for a table for 5 adults + one kid. She said they're full. So I asked how long it'd take for a table - she gave a cynical smirk and said "I can't really tell?". Seeing that I was dissatisfied with her attitude, another more senior-looking waiter came along, and instead of apologizing or having the decency to politely reject us, he said with a blank face "你地等都唔會有枱，我地成朝都無枱！" ..... 認真巴閉! On hindsight, even if they did have a table, I wouldn't think twice before leaving immediately, to spare us all from a holiday morning ruined by a bunch of spiteful, unappreciative waiters. I'd strongly recommend everyone to think twice before visiting The Bites, which serves overcharged mediocre food with subpar service. Apparently, this isn't the first food review that complains about their poor service (or lack thereof), so take this as a credible piece of cautionary advice for you all discerning customers out there. Stay away from the Bites, and don't "get bitten".To The Bites: With this kind of service, good luck in surviving the competitive F&B industry in HK. Judging from this short encounter, I'm sure you'd definitely be gone with literally "no tables to serve" in no time!…查看更多

那個星期六去完牛棚來吃下午茶, 就我和女生朋友兩人, 時間是大概5點多, 不是什麼人多的時間吧, 位置還有的, 所以不用等位.我們因為純粹為了坐一下, 所以沒點太多食物.我都忘了名字, 其中一個是帶子PANCAKE火箭菜沙拉, 我覺得帶子和PANCAKE有點配不上, 但不難吃, 分開帶子/沙拉和PANCAKE來說是OK的.另一個是POTATOE什麼...真的記不住名字, 有點像中國的蘿蔔糕, 配白汁, 我覺得蠻好吃, 就是口感很不用, 但是吃完好飽.喝的比較多選擇, 尤其在啤酒方面, 可以試日本啤酒, 清清的花香, 女生會喜歡!!環境很舒服, 也許我們是天氣涼涼的, 又黃昏, 我覺得裝潢不算是非常特別, 但是有一種懷舊感覺, 就在土瓜灣區中很清新.…查看更多

Arrived at 11:20 but it opens at 11:30. A bit late for breakfast... The food is ok. Eggs, sausage, mushroom are about average for the price. The pancakes are thick!! However, the latte and cappuccino are below average. They come from automated espresso drinks machine. Taste is bitter, foamed milk is bad (expected from an automated machine). Maybe it is more for drinking beer than coffee. Overall is ok. Not many choices like this in To Kwa Wan for a western breakfast.…查看更多

服務態度度其差，剛去到還沒有枱，諗住等一下，點知waiter 一開口唔係問我地幾位，係叫我地出去外面30幾度高溫下罰企。問佢幾時有位，話唔知就算，d野又唔係平，又唔算好食，一定唔會再去！！…查看更多

今天即興和幾位同事去左試依間喺土瓜灣比較小有 provide all day breakfast 的 cafe。一行五人預先訂位，準時到達，不用等候被安排坐在門口位一張長方型而頗特別的原木枱，環境OK，起碼無擠迫的感覺。坐下不久，有四位同事各自點了三款不同的 all day breakfast, 另有同事點了Fish and chips + 一罐 diet coke。先講食物，all day breakfast 很快送到，我點的有炒蛋,sausage,bacon,croissant,一堆菜。份量適中，但男士應該就未必夠飽。各款食物就 just OK, 炒蛋略嫌太熟，太老 ；sausage 頗有咬口但 taste 一般 ; croissant 應該是買回來，再叮或焗熱番，起初望落去的感覺死死實實，諗 住一定吾脆，但好彩都有小小脆，所以我估起碼是番焗的, 但因為近來太多好味的croissant蒲頭 (希慎，海港城），相比之下即刻相形見拙 。Fish and chips 是另一位對食物頗有要求亦識飲識食的同事叫的 (以下簡稱佢為Fish & chips)，他的comment 也只是合格，沒有太多意見，我想應該 under his expectation, +_+ 。再講價錢，就地區來說在土瓜灣是頗貴的，放眼土瓜灣一般都是較便宜和大衆化, 但自從有MTR開始興建，豪宅落成，相信這區的物價，食店質素將會大大提高，但重點是食物質素與價錢應成正比，Fish & chips 不為意點了一罐 diet coke (預先無睇menu 到埋單也沒特別留意，因為心想 coke 應該都是10元八塊吧），但真喺千奇百趣睇小D, 大家請看單，沒有看錯，這罐可能有如紅酒般有特別年份的diet coke索價 $29 元!!!我錯，我錯在沒有睇 menu 同無check 單，就喺甘眼白白見住 Fish & chips 飲左人生中最L貴的 Diet coke。但無辦法，錢已俾，心已捶。我再打番去追問那些年的乜L可樂已是徒然，得到的答覆只是避免有人齋飲坐一世，所以將佢僄貴D!!!老細，$29 罐可樂，海浪公園，迪迪尼，置地high tea, 半島都吾駛依嗰價錢呀嘩，以後土瓜灣都全頼有你。Good Luck Mate !!!…查看更多

I saw this cafe for a while and wanted to try it for some time. Finally I had the chance and was delighted to see half the menu covered pasta dishes. My first disappointment came when I ordered a chicken spinach penne pasta dish. I placed my order but after a while the lady came back to tell me it was too early for pasta. It was past noon already at that time, in other words lunch time. I asked her what time pasta will be served and then she was stumbling. After a while she had to admit that they could not save pasta for the whole day without any reason. So then I checked the all day breakfast menu and wanted to order C. Classic omelette. As I do not eat pork I asked if they could put in spinach instead. And to make my omelette well done as I do not like watery eggs. This time a man came to take my order and said it was ok but had to check for the spinach swop. He returned to tell me the swop was ok but they had no mushroom as the fridge was broken ... Bad inventory management and back up plan. So I asked for dried tomatoes as replacement. He had to check again and returned to me to say it was not possible. Well, I just accepted this but stressed again I wanted the omelette to be well done inside. He confirmed me to say it was ok. The omelette came very fast but it was very yellow, no baking signs at all. When I checked the inside it was very watery. Clearly the egg has been only put into the pan for a little whole, just enough to make the outside ready to roll it over. The inside was still raw. It was for sure they did not took my request at heart. So I asked the waiter to bring it back to the kitchen and ask the cook to bake it again. He said ok. But after it was taken away from me I heard the sound of a microwave - that is the opening door and later the ready beep sound. Then my egg came back right after that untouched and still the same way it looked before when I asked to make it well done. The inside was less watery but still watery. I have tried two bites and it was tasteless. In the end I just ate the croissant and did not eat the omelette. With the breakfast coffee is included. But the waiter and waitress did not even come to ask me if I wanted coffee or tea. I had to ask for it. I left the cafe very disappointed and unsatisfied and hungry as it did not eat the omelette. The service was bad as it was very clear that the waiters and cook did not bother to take the request of the customer into consideration. Only the spinach swop was fulfilled. Also the food was bad too as it was tasteless and also the food did not consist of all the ingredients as stated on the menu. For the price I had to pay hk$ 67,00 in the area of To kwa wan you would at least expect a good service but noting was less true. I have never experienced such a bad service cafe as this one. Even if I go to peninsula or a normal local breakfast cafe they would try their best to take up on the customers' request. Maybe I had too high expectations or maybe my request is unreasonable - I only asked forawell done  omelette. Is that so difficult ? Just to keep the omelette longer in the pan and certainly not to heaten it up in a microwave!!! That is not cooking ...I will not try this cafe anymore as you will only get a first impression and they have ruined their chance. My parents had a restaurant for more than 20 years so I know what good service, good food and especially listening to and knowing your customers mean. They totally lack this kind of service and more important the lack or attitude. How can you manage a cafe like this?…查看更多

應該是本區唯一cafe? 坐得舒適, 即使門外間中有巴士駛過但感覺不差. 裝修看得出花過點心思. 但食物質素很一般, 因此覺得價錢不太值. 點了omelette和杏仁咖啡的all day breakfast. omelette以雜菌和parma ham做料(餐牌上寫的還有芝士, 但吃不出來) 因為下了Parma ham, 味道偏鹹了. 不知是菌類煮的時候出水(雖然已經炒過)還是因為火候不足, 蛋有點太水汪汪的. 牛角包是來貨的, 但可以選較高質的入貨嗎? 輕飄飄全無質感可言, 也沒有香味. 感覺是超級市場買的一樣. 而咖啡就普通得像是即溶的, 不太夠咖啡味也不夠杏仁香. 整體而言只覺得是包裝成cafe樣子的茶餐廳. 加油吧! 這地點還不錯, 這形式又是區內獨市, 做得好一定會有回頭客!…查看更多

見屋企附近難得開左間西式cafe，一直都已經好想去試試。不得不提嘅係新開張無耐，已經見佢好多時晚市已經爆哂位，好多外國人食話哂都住左係附近咁耐，依個鋪位晚市會爆真係好罕有，話哂鄰近都好多野食架嘛，比個叻佢！先講門面，以啡色為主，係一間小型英式cafe，裝修都好別緻。啲餐具都好靚同埋入面播嘅歌都幾好聽😁值得一提係員工都好有禮貌😊😊講番野食，依度主要賣English all day breakfast同埋pasta。我同朋友大概4點去食都見入面有唔小人食緊。我點左個 egg benedict breakfast set ($74) , 入面係smoked salmon同spinach，仲有啲生果做伴碟外觀都幾吸引！先提個包，一開始以為無咩特別，但食落發現個包係熱烘左同埋鹹鹹地，可能因為有菠菜，個包食落去唔會太乾，幾好Smoked salmon唔會太熟同唔會太鹹，連埋啲菠菜一齊食個味好夾，暖暖地真係好好味重點當然係隻蛋，恰到好處，一介落去暖暖嘅蛋漿會流落黎，唔會太生，連同上面黃色嘅醬汁(唔知咩黎🙈)成個味好夾好好食。曾經試過其他出名嘅egg benedict都無依個咁好味😋野飲就點左杯iced coffee,但係就無咩特別，係啲杯仔幾別緻。反而朋友點左熱caramel chocolate ($35) 佢就話好好味，唔會太甜，值得一試我略嫌份量太細，以我女仔食量黎計只不過是剛剛好，如果係男士就應該唔夠食😆同埋價錢有啲貴，一杯野飲同個breakfast set連埋單$144，仲要加一，當依區好多鋪都好平時，會有小小肉痛但整體黎講味道真係唔錯，下次黎會試pasta，見到其他人食好別引😋…查看更多

Just a few steps from the main bus routes from Central, easy to find, cute but quite small interior (only a handful of tables).We initially ordered a frittata which they simply called Roasted Potato, Chorizo, Eggs pie. Nicely presented with a small lightly dressed side salad, very nice and just enough Chorizo to add a spice touch. Why they don't call it a frittata is beyond me though?We next ordered the Prittata with Potato and Mushroom, this was quite flavourful with a nice cheesey sauce with plenty of mushrooms. Excellent, but a tad heavy.As well we ordered the Roasted Potato lasagne which supposely incorporated sweet potatoes, potatoes, asparagus and broccoli. Unfortunately this dish came off as a thick glob of colorful paste (they use a blue potato so it's very bright). I didn't see any asparagus and the broccoli was a mashed inside the glob. Good idea & concept, but in practice came off as 'glob' of heavy stuff. Wouldn't order this again.A fantastic selection of unique beers served cold in interesting stemware. Bites serves an all day breakfast which look to be a good choice.The menu is heavy with carbs (noodles & potatoes) and not a lot of salads. If you go, order a salad and potato/noodle dish to share and lighten up the load you carry out. I'd certainly return.Hint: Noreservations and sadly the system of waiting for a table has you standing outside the restaurant (no name or number system which would make sense)…查看更多

Went thre on the 'Time Out' recoomendation.The potao and chorizo egg pie had a nice flavour but was served hot on the outside, stone cold in the middle.The "french fries" were actually wedges and not cooked properly.   How hard is it to cook potatoes?    To me there is nothing worse that uncooked potatoes!My iced lemon tea came in a glass than was severely chipped.   When i complained they asked if i could just use the straw?   Huh?The only saving grace was the Blue Swimmer Crab Linguine.   ITs was pretty nice and above average for HK pasta.Would i go again?   That would be NO!…查看更多
