On a Sunday night we hadn't intended on going out to eat...somehow after a few drinks at the Pawn, a great pub in Wanchai, We decided to hop in a taxi and try Striphouse, a new steakhouse I had been meaning to try since moving back to Hong Kong. Little did we know, as we rode the elevator up that the joint was closed Sundays but lo and behold, "Bistecca" (I had mixed reviews on) was open and we were accosted by one of the chefs to try their "wagyu" (most expensive item on the menu, come on.)

On a Sunday night we hadn't intended on going out to eat...somehow after a few drinks at the Pawn, a great pub in Wanchai, We decided to hop in a taxi and try Striphouse, a new steakhouse I had been meaning to try since moving back to Hong Kong. Little did we know, as we rode the elevator up that the joint was closed Sundays but lo and behold, "Bistecca" (I had mixed reviews on) was open and we were accosted by one of the chefs to try their "wagyu" (most expensive item on the menu, come on.) Anyway we were seated quickly, the dining room was a ghost town-never a good sign but as I said, I've never been out on a Sunday. But so far so good, the service was friendly, the atmosphere, although "quiet" for a crowded resto was good. Buzzing. Meat. The air smelt of meat.
We were eyeing the bone marrow in the glass case by the kitchen and the head chef commented loudly, "That's Bone Marrow", Yes sir I know I'm a steak-girl. Hawksmoor in London became a regular thing/regular haunt. Anyway, off the menu we got that with some toast, it came with tapenade. Very nice. For our mains, we decided against getting a steak each and stuck with one to share. Now the whole "concept" of steak here is that you get all these sauces as extra and order sides, so we got creamed spinach and these very very salty courgette fritters (so much so I really felt a bit meh after the whole meal)
With two martinis, two glasses of prosecco, a ribeye, two sides and a complimentary dessert (chocolate chip cookies) the bill came to just little over 900HKD, which, in my mind, is very reasonable for Lan Kwai Fong.I would return!
