There was a ton of lamb meat in this shawarma, which bore a resemblance to shawarma in name only…read more The pita was more like a wrap, the veggies stopped at lettuce, and the sauce was vaguely Thousand-Islandy, but if you want as much lamb as possible for your buck, this is the place to go! I didn't see any central-Chinese-style mutton skewer places in my entire trip to Hong Kong, and that's usually my choice for stuffing my face with lamb, but this'll do in a pinch. Personally, were I a citizen of a country that didn't have a regressive, challenging, competitive visa policy with China, I'd just cross the border and try my luck with skewers in Shenzhen.

On this visit, I was so sad to see that they don't have the ox tail as a part of their lunch sets anymore but it was so good last time that we had to ordered it al la carte. The ox tail with red wine sauce was once again delicious! The ox tail pieces are huge and are SO tender which just the right about of fatty bits. The red wine sauce is savory but also somewhat sweet from the wine and from the onions. There was a good amount of veggie in the dish and it came with either rice or pasta. Also got to try the steak with black pepper sauce and pasta as a part of their lunch set. The meat was tender and black pepper sauce was well seasoned with a nice peppery flavor. The borsche soup was pretty solid with lots of ingredients. Price performance is def better for lunch sets but ox tail was super worth it! Food came out quick and service was pretty standard. Lots of seating but also lots of people during lunch rush hour.

Most of the diners seemed to be blue collar. Started off with the satay beef soy sauce chicken Nissin ramen which was okay. The satay sauce for the beef was pretty strong and the beef quality was mediocre as it was slightly rough. The soy sauce chicken wings were barely passing as it didn't taste super fresh and was rather bland. The iced milk tea when it first came out was okay but was rather watered down after 10-15 minutes. Service was okay by the staff. They accept cash only. Parking might be challenging...

Only one staff person spoke English, and it wasn't my waitress which raised some confusion. Even the staff person who spoke some English had problems understanding me. Ordered the "shark fin" soup and mapo tofu. Mapo tofu looked and tasted nothing like the sichuan dish I'm used to. No peppercorns and only serrano peppers. I liked it and the soup but was confused by the order. Receipt is in Chinese so I didn't understand there was a service charge applied. I tried to pay by credit card but the restaurant insisted on a $150 minimum. When i handed her a $500 bill the non-English speaking waitress said, "Big Money". She looked at me expectantly so I didn't know if I should have tipped there. I ended up leaving a tip on the table which made the manager happy when she called after me for leaving money behind. She insisted on pressing my elevator button down,

This place offers "snack style" foods or small plates. The dishes are quite unique. The "Fu Yue lo mein" is delicious with noodles tossed in a fermented bean curd sauce. There are several choices for dumplings and our favorite was the fennel/dill with pork. I also loved the fish balls. They're called QQ something here. Lots of photos on the walls to help you choose what you want to eat. We also had sweet potato leaves and a plate of drunken chicken leg tendon. Everything tasted good, but I did detect a bit of MSG on my palate later. Cheap good eats!

My friend suggested this place as she saw an online article for afternoon tea for two for HKD88…read more(about USD11). That's a great price, and I figure if even the food is awful, it's still not much more than two drinks. As others said, this place is somewhat a hidden gem. Its entrance is a narrow commercial building entrance on Nathan Road, right by Hillwood Road, closer to Jordan than TST. Located on the second floor, the big windows look out to verdant shades, totally blocking out the hustle and bustle outside. The price of afternoon tea has increased, but at HKD128, still a fair price if no longer a steal. We ordered flavored fresh-squeezed lemonades (or you can choose tea, coffee or soda), and our food arrived on a wooden board: two hamburger sliders, two salmon croissants, bacon wrapped asparagus, mac & cheese, BBQ fries and brownies. All is quite tasty except for the mac & cheese, which I find really bland. Applegreen bills itself as offering Californian cuisine. Their menu has lots of salad, and pasta ranging from carbonara to tequila lime chicken to mentaiko. There are also carne asado quesadilla, Jamaican chicken wings, jambalaya flatbread and more, just to show how international the menu is.

My last review of 2015 goes to one of my favorite not so hidden gems in Hong Kong! Located on the…read moreborder of Jordan and Tsim Sha Tsui, Applegreen is one of my favorite lunch spots. For Hong Kong, this restaurant is quite spacious. I've always been able to grab a seat every time I came in the afternoon. I've tried many different dishes here and usually it doesn't disappoint! What I like the most about Applegreen is that they're not just a salad house. They have a pretty wide array of dishes and drinks on the menu. But of course, if you want to eat "healthier", they have plenty of salads to choose from. Most of their salad has "half" servings, which is actually misleading. Their half portion is enough for 2-3 people if you order it with a second or third dish. Their "full" serving of the salad is humongous. Probably more suited for 3-5 people. Just be warned! Also as a tip, if you order salad you can request FREE banana bread to go with it. For their other dishes, they have your typical pastas, but what I like is their Flatbreads. Think of it as a very thin crust pizza. Quite tasty and large in portion. They also have some more unique items from their varying breakfast menu, such as honey glazed bacon, eggs benedict, or other experimental items. As for their drinks, most of their tea-juices have unlimited refill! Surprisingly an uncommon thing in Hong Kong. Applegreen is moderately priced. But for the portion and quality, its a pretty good deal. Its also conveniently located by the Jordan MTR station.
