In TST, Indian, Korean, and Japanese cuisine are readily available but the last few years the hood…read morehas seen a rise in Modern European, specifically German cuisine. Located between the N1 and N2 exits on the MTR, Biergarten stands out amongst through the Podium Plaza lineup of international establishments. It was the very first German find and eventually became my most visited one as well. I appreciate the bits of authenticity they've put into the business all the way from their signage to their menu, which is listed in German and English. The ambiance feels distinctly pub-like and some of the staff is German speaking, which I've found in most of the bartenders. If only everyone was wearing lederhosen, this could be the ultimate (but tight space!) Oktoberfest destination. In general, I enjoy drinking here. They have a good selection of beers, German and others, on tap and available in bottle / can form. There are plenty of stools at the bar and front area is open enough to call this place outdoor friendly. The bartenders make for interesting conversation and are adept at recommending quality beers. If there is any fault, it would be the food. The menu is broken down to soups, salads and classic mains, there is even a dedicated section to cold / hot sausages. And while most things are certainly reminiscent of dishes I've had in Deutschland, none have captured the magic of anything I've had. This is asking a lot for Hong Kong obviously, where western food tends to be lackluster and sadly the case applies here as well (specifically: the goulash, wurst plate, knuckle hocks, meat loaf, schnitzel). It wasn't all bad of course, I did appreciate the mash potatoes. Sadly, a delicious side does not make up for a string of mediocre mains. Given the major lack of presence amongst locals and the general feel of the place, it goes without saying Biergarten is a likely option for many non-Chinese tourists. Their sister location Fass (https://www.yelp.com/biz/biergarten-fass-%E9%A6%99%E6%B8%AF) has outperformed them in almost every way, so if the food quality matters (which at this price point, I don't see why it wouldn't), then that would be the better alternative.

It took about 45 minutes to make, but oh my...what deliciousness! The server asked me if I wanted it "cut". I didn't know what that meant, but it sounded like the norm. I'm glad I went with "cut" because the hog leg came out hacked in a few spots making it much easier to eat. Crunchy skin, meaty pork flavor, lots of collagen, and delicious fatty parts! Right up my adventure eating alley. Yum!

The pretzel bread was delicious too, and the pig knuckle was a hefty size that we could barely finished. We did know that it would be a meat heavy menu, but my friend wanted some salad, so we decided on the German sausage salad. Imagine our surprise when the dish came, two pump link of sausages accompanied by a teeny side - like two bite-ful - of frisee salad! Please, be more generous with the greens! There was a oompah band going around the tables entertaining us, and servers were dressed in German folk costumes, all creating a festive atmosphere. The menu seems to aim hard to be international - so if German food is not your thing, you can consider many options such as Thai salad, Malaysian beef shank, pesto pasta, curry chicken and more. Not sure if they are just trying to include all tourists, but I find it a bit weird.

When I talk about Beer Hall, what will be the first thing that pops up in your head? Germany? Beer…read moreHall Putsch? Okay, I am obviously not talking about history so just let me cut to the chase - King Luwig BeerHall. I am completely aware of the fact that I am such a light-weight that I cannot drink that much, but once in a while I just let myself go for a bit (finger cross not as much). God knows how many times I have been here but I am still a fan of this place. The pork knuckles are definitely its signature dish here (of course it is slightly pricier than having than in Germany); however, the sausage platters to me seem rather ordinary and quite disappointing frankly speaking as people keep saying how good German sausages are, not here unfortunately. The scallop soup is very creamy and delicious as well. As for drinks, the last time I went there unfortunately I was kind of ill so I did not order beer, however I ordered one Mango whatever that does not have alcohol, while my friends ordered draughts of beers... bravo... the beer here generally is rather nice and not too strong flavoured so it is great for people who cannot drink that much. Also if it is your friend's birthday, please be prepared that the lead singer will sing him/her a happy birthday song. I am not a fan as it is rather embarrassing, but the atmosphere is definitely very cool (after a few glasses). It appears to me that King Luwig BeerHall has become quite a chain now in Hong Kong, I have tried the one in Tuen Mun and honestly, the one in Tsim Sha Tsui is definitely better in terms of the atmosphere. I strongly suggest that you should make a reservation as early as possible. Not that it will be full-house but more to do with the fact that you may not be able to watch the live band perform if you just walk-in as you will be sent to the farthest table and you can barely hear what they are singing.

The menu was small with a little over 10 items in the lunch set, but it was really good. I got the grilled beef set which came with a salad, rice, miso soup, and a few other goodies on the tray. The beef was seasoned and grilled perfectly. Very tasty with a teriyaki marinade. The set cost $128, which I thought was very good value for a filling portion.

The side dishes served here are very good and is a good sign that the food will be good. They are stingy with the refills and will only give two dishes to ask for a second round. However, the bbq uses a gas grill and not charcoal. You definitely will taste the difference. Food: 3.75 stars Service: 2.5 stars Environment: 3 stars Value: 4 stars Overall: 3.5 stars Recommendations: seafood pancake, ok tongue, marinated galbi, thick cut pork belly The service here is not very good. You will need to proactively get the waiters attention for any help. They don't do any of the cooking for you and the food comes at a slow pace especially given that the meat is cooked at the table and is raw. The non bbq meat items are really quite good here and I would come back to try more of these. You can tell by eating the kimchi you can tell that the food is authentic. The price isn't too expensive if you stick with the non premium meat. Is about 350 HKD per person for food.

I was at first a little…read moresketched out by the lack of a queue considering how there was a long line at the restaurant next to it, but after getting sick of waiting for that other restaurant, I decided to be adventurous and try this place out. While the staff were somewhat lacking in presence, they definitely made up for it in food quality and value for money. We had a kimchi pancake which was fantastic! The pancake itself was crunchy and fragrant while retaining the flavour of kimchi, and the squid stone pot rice was also really good, being both crunchy and chewy, allowing for that variability in textures. Staff were nice enough when we could find them, but considering how they had the waiter call bell system, they should have pointed out that system when we took our seat since it was rather inconspicuously placed out of plain sight. To sum it up, I would try this place out again!
