My very first time visiting this place was years ago. Shout out to their Tuesday Wing's Night!…read moreClassic. Friendly staff, good North American eats at decent Hong Kong prices. It's a non-zero-sum game. Literally - especially if you decide to challenge your mates to homicidal wings. Their spicy ratings goes from: Honey Garlic, Wuss, Cajin, Mild, Medium, Hot, Suicide and Homicide. I could feel that numbing, tingling sensation on my face as I ingested my 3rd suicide wing. And as I gasped for water and reached for tissue to wipe my drool, I could here this lovely Swiss man sitting three seats away from me, telling customers he's a regular there and that he would never dare go beyond Medium. And that's when I decided that my friend should get the Homicide ones, because if there was a moment to capture what a sucker I am... that would be it. One homicide wing in, my insides were nuked. Perhaps I should have eaten breakfast and lunch first. I feel that their homicide wings should come with a sympathy glass of milk. They don't... so that was cruel of them. Good game, Big Bite. Special shout out to their A&W root beer floats for when you miss home! Their poutine was...acceptable. If you ask me, their Sai Wan branch is better. Less people and more space!

Rather strangely located in North Point, and not even on King's Road, but the "back alley" that is…read moreJava Road, is a great burger cafe - Big Bite. With the advent of Beef & Liberty and Butchers Club Burger, it seems that the humble burger is making some waves in the culinary scene in HK. Well, Big Bite has been a little known stalwart in the burger kingdom for sometime now, and for good reason. They serve a simple menu of burgers and dogs, with various fries and drinks. I say simple, because by concept it is. However, the menu may betray otherwise, as it is a bit of a head bender trying to workout what is and is not in the meal deal etc. So remember to pull out your PHD in statistical analysis before embarking into the menu. Alternatively, just point and grunt. The burgers are brilliant. 100% ground US beef, they are cooked really nicely, so they retain that lovely crumbly dry texture, without being just mince in a bun. The bun is a lovely soft and light wisp of a thing, perfectly framing the pattie and whatever else you can cram in. Unfortunately, I do have a grumble though, the burger was a bit luke warm, and I put this down to the service. I don't know what is going on with the service, but it sucks. It's not even a proper restaurant, in that you order and pay at the counter before taking a table, but even with only one part of the waiting service to do (i.e. bringing me my burger), they take an absolute ice age, bring everything at differing times, and forget stuff. The total result is a cold burger, followed 10 mins (and three requests) later with poutine that is hotter than the sun. Unfortunately, this sucky service puts a big black mark across the food. I doubt that the chef likes his burgers to be cold at the table, unless that is the Canadian style of serving them? Definitely give it a go, as you can get a really good burger for much less than the fancy boys. Just keep on top of the wait staff and get your food out at the same time - hot. Maybe sit up by the pass at the high tables, so you can be all over them. One last brownie point; they have an excellent selection of beers, and on Tuesdays, you can add HKD3 with any beer purchase for buffalo wings - get out the blue cheese!

But we had just eaten a huge meal, so we put it on our list of places to return for a snack. We came back 2 days later and HOLY YESSS JACKPOT. These skewers are delicious! We had all kinds: chicken, pork, beef, squid. They are so flavorful, tender, and delicious. We even came back the next day for a snack. Pros: Skewers are awesome Price is reasonable for the area Good beer Friendly Service Cool seating area Fast service Cons: Small seating area, but that's Hong Kong for you Quick Tip: Get the spicy! (it's not too spicy) Definitely a place executing Thai skewers at a primo level. Peace and love to GRILL

Since I haven't had a prime rib in FOREVER, I finally acquiesced. The restaurant was filled with business people during lunchtime. The Lawry's in BH isn't even open for lunch! The HK Lawry's also had other choices for a starter other than the spinning salad and entrees that aren't offered in the US. I ordered the spinning salad for nostalgia's sake. The salad was fine, but my dad's foie gras with fig was a better deal. I stuck to the classic prime rib, though I ordered the HK cut (HK$408), which is smaller than the California Cut and Lawry's Cut that I am accustomed to. It came with mashed potatoes and Yorkshire pudding. Paired with the horseradish, the prime rib was just the way I remembered it to be. My dad opted for the twin lobster tails (HK$378), which came already de-shelled, saving him the struggle of removing it. Overall, it was a decent lunch. There's better food to be had in HK, but if you're looking for a traditional reliable Western meal in an upscale setting, there's Lawry's.

Most recently, i was invited here again for a family gathering and to my surprise - it was actually good. We order some nachos which was acceptable, being a non-Mexican restaurant and in Hong Kong. Next on my list was the Australian Wagyu sirloin, taste was ok as well as the baked with all the trimmings that came with it. But poor vegetables, there were overcooked and stone cold. To flush this all down, i had the classic margarita which the alcohol pour in this drink was below PAR. I had asked the waistaff if i can get a little more, but apparently it was all set in the recipe and it can not be modified. So i just asked for another shot of tequila poured it into my margaritas which made the different. Otherwise, it was like drinking a lime juice on the rocks. There was a promotion going on in becoming member for 720 days that would enable you to get -50% the entire bill, including alcoholic drinks. i guess i should come back.

A feast worth coming back to…read more We came here for dinner and ordered one of the large sharing platters for five, then added a couple of à la carte cuts because the menu was too tempting to stop there. Our platter came with beautifully marbled beef cuts like kalbi, misuji, rosu, and filet, plus tongue and other prime selections. We also tried the premium zabuton and harami à la carte, which turned out to be some of the highlights of the night. Every single cut of beef was top quality, tender, and perfectly complemented by the sauces on the table. The flavors were clean and rich without being heavy, exactly what you want in yakiniku. The service was very good, staff were friendly and helpful, and the style of the booths gave a nice sense of space and privacy. The restaurant was not too busy so we got to relax and enjoy our food at our own pace. Between the platter, the extra cuts, and the great side dishes, it was an unforgettable meal. I would definitely come back.

Personally preferred the monkfish as it was a more unique flavor. The chips were good. Larger cut fries -Mixed basket: Oysters, crabcakes and calamari I had were quite good. Didn't try the baby fish in the basket. Overall, the entrees were better than the appetizers. Price per person for 4 people: $200 I'd return for the entrees, but reconsider the appetizer choices.

Main St. Deli is a very acceptable place to grab a quick burger or sandwich if you're craving…read moreAmerican cuisine and you're in the area, but it doesn't quite live up to the quality of the other restaurants in the Langham Hotel or nearby in the Tsim Sha Tsui area more generally. The restaurant is located on the bottom floor of the Langham Hotel and, when we arrived for dinner on a Monday night, was nearly empty. Perhaps unsurprisingly, service was excellent and fast, and the restaurant is tastefully decorated and spotlessly clean. Unlike what the name of the restaurant implies, the menu is not focused solely on New York City foods. Rather it is broadly American, with items from New York cuisine, Tex Mex cuisine, southern American cuisine, and others. I had a cheeseburger and fries and also tried the eggs Benedict. The burger was exceptionally well cooked, juicy and tender, but perhaps a bit underseasoned. The fries were similarly underseasoned but well cooked, just like the burger. The eggs were pretty good but nothing spectacular. Prices are very high and perhaps a little too high considering quality and portion size. Overall a good experience at Main St. Deli but one that I wouldn't recommend going too far out of your way to try.
