My friend and I come here every December for their Sunday champagne buffet. Pre-COVID, it was…read moreglorious with endless selection of high quality seafood and meat, I remember Peking Duck, suckling pig, prime rib rack, Paella and many more. Post-COVID, it's gotten worse year over year and now that Nicholini is closed, the buffet no longer stretches across the entire floor, it's limited to just Brasserie. The restaurant was packed to the gills pre-COVID but now only a handful of tables were occupied while we were there. Gone is the unlimited lobster, shrimp and other seafood and instead you'll get a platter with one of each and if you want oysters, you have to pay a surcharge of US$4 per piece. There's no longer a carving station and instead they put out a braised beef stew and another low quality item I can't even remember. The sushi/sashimi station is also gone and instead you'll get a pre-assembled fish bite of some kind. The live pasta station is still there but with mediocre selection, it's good but not something you would expect from a restaurant of this caliber. The rest of the buffet is just so sad with very limited and low quality selections, there's a tuna fish salad on offer, need I say more? They're also stingy with their champagne, we had to ask for a refill a couple of times and they stopped pouring half an hour before closing. We've given this restaurant more chances than it deserves and this time we're saying goodbye to them for good. For the price that we paid which was over US$150 per person, there're better choices out there.

This is my favorite steak place in HK so far…read more I ordered a M9 Rib eye steak with steamed rice and sautéed spinach. The M9 Steak tastes amazing. The steak was very tender and juicy, making every bite melting in your mouth. Also, the steak had a good amount of salt, not needing to add more salt unlike most steak places I've tried. The steak had a good meat to fat ratio. The spinach was sautéed with garlic. The spinach had a very strong and delicious garlic flavor plus the perfect amount of salt and juiciness. Worth to try. Also, although the rice was just simple and steamed, the rice tasted good and it wasn't over cooked. The seating area was nice and had a nice outside view. Although the price may seem pricy, the food quality was totally worth it. Overall, very delicious meal and will come again to possibly try another dish. 10/10

The Pulled beef Benedict is extremely lack of flavor. The poached egg has no taste as well. Overall if it is one of the signature dish, then I don't know what else to say. The Ragu Papperdalle is a bit better in taste, at least not seasoning and flavor. Honestly, not recommended for a brunch spot as price is not really cheap. Spent over $300 for two without drink.

The café offers both indoor and alfresco seating, creating a laid-back vibe with its crisp white décor. My fav of the day goes to The pork shred is tender and flavorful, infused with a smoky sweetness that pairs wonderfully with the creamy hollandaise. Another main dish was rich and flavorful, with tender chunks of beef slow-cooked to perfection. Esp. the sauce!! Love it so much. Doused in umami yoghurt sauce, was also fork-tender, while its accompanying sauce adds a creamy texture and a hint of nuttiness. We rounded off our meal with a special . It looks aesthetic with its baby pink colour. The sweetness of the chocolate perfectly balances the natural earthiness of the beetroot!

Staying at the Conrad in HK and due to Hilton Diamond status, I was lucky to have daily breakfast…read moreincluded. The breakfast buffets at Garden Cafe was pretty good. They have a nice range of both western foods as well as Asian offerings. There is an omelet station and a wonton noodle station. A few items change daily, but most remain the same which can get a little boring if you are staying long. Coffee is from a machine, which is fine. I was disappointed that they did not have HK style milk tea- despite being at a 5 star note in Hong Kong! Service was ok, but sometimes had to flag the staff to get their attention. Ambience was nice with high ceilings and lots of natural light.

I ate two at one go. Also tried the noodles, chicken congee, bacon, etc etc.. yes, I ate a lot!! Tea served here was of TWG. Freshly squeezed orange juice was refilled promptly.

This was the perfect late night eatery I can happily say satisfied my cravings for American food in…read moreHK. The owner was so inviting and attended to us even though the vibe was casual. The ambience was like a retro diner, with unique CD art on the walls, diner-like stools, and photos of guests enjoying their meal at Burger Joy. I wasn't feeling a burger, so I ordered some truffle fries and wings. I was so impressed at the amount of truffle they sprinkle on the fries and the flavor of the wings. SO hot and fresh which made the meal so delicious. I went with Cajun seasoning and the exterior was lightly crispy and coated with the powder. Fantastic flavor! As a Westerner, I could rely on Burger Joy for that classic American style dining. They have late hours and close at 2:30AM! Glad my friend and I discovered this spot as we have been out so late and nothing but convenient stores were open in Wan Chai.

At one point in time, Burger Joys was the closest thing I could find to a quality American style…read moreburger. It was and still is such a hard thing to find in HK, which seems strange given the popularity of burgers and the huge expat population. Now that several big time fast food chains (#1) have opened up, Burger Joys and their pricey burgers may seem somewhat pedestrian. Burger Joys is still fairly unconventional from most of the other burger spots, which includes serving full on booze (even cocktails!) and remaining open for 24 hours a day. The latter is mainly for location's sake, Wanchai and it's red light district vibe tends to spurn a lot of expat visits; many of whom are less likely to look for a HK Cafe over the idea of a burger and fries. The burgers themselves evoke memories of In N Out by presentation alone, sans taste and price. That said, the burgers are good. I'm not sure if the signature double cheeseburger warrants the $139HKD price tag, but it's still tasty. Throw in a shake and some fries (better with truffle!), the meal gets closer to 200HKD+ with the service charge. Thank goodness they accept credit cards. The service has been a mix of great and subpar. Some days when the gentleman from Vancouver is working, the service is professional, fun, and efficient. Some other days / hours, it's a crapshoot of casual and lackluster staff. The mileage definitely varies. I suppose the adage applies: come for the food and nothing else. At 4AM. ___________ (#1) Why hello there Shake Shack (https://www.yelp.com/biz/vy-CrKB4FnUXHJfTm5VBnw) and Five Guys (https://www.yelp.com/biz/V95VaC8flVy_APuFJGq3Tw)!

Went to the Flying Pan in Wan Chai for brunch with a few friends. It's built like a traditional…read moreAmerican diner with a large variety of meals suited for all hours of the day (it's open 24 hours!), which is perfect for a quick pick-me-up in the morning or a carb craving after a Wednesday night out (go big green). Its portions are massive, at least relative to others in Hong Kong, and it has some pretty good deals if you want a cheap but filling meal. I ordered a $50 HKD set with four pieces of toast, two eggs cooked the way psychos like em (yolkless and fried), a bowl of tomato soup (my side-dish option), a bowl of fresh fruits (my second side-dish option), a cup of orange juice (my beverage option), and I also added on two link sausages for $22 HKD. I wasn't a fan of either the fruits (they didn't seem all that fresh) or the sausages (sorta tasted like plastic), but you definitely get a value meal.

- Hong Kong - for the price and the quality, I'd say this was a pretty decent mid-tier lunch…read morebuffet! I enjoyed the food mostly, except for the dessert. So if you really like dessert you might end up being disappointed. I came here for the fish maw and other stuff, so I was happy! Besides fish maw, I highly recommend trying their shrimp. It's so plump, succulent and crunchy! I believe they said it's from Vietnam. Their sashimi selection was very decent too. Most of the time I'd skip the sashimi, but they've got clams and amaebi, yum yum! Also, service was excellent. Attentive even though they're slammed. The waitress never stopped clearing out empty plates throughout our meal.

I've been to several different Churrascaria's, and this is Hong Kong's only version of one (that I…read moream aware of). In general, the buffet was decent (but of course don't fill up on it), and the steak was overall good, but the pichanha only came around 2 times and one time great and one time so-so (not cooked correctly, a bit overdone). They were pushing the chicken and pork out of the kitchen more frequently than the steaks, and some of the beef cuts advertised on the menu were not available. They offer a free flow wine which is worth it although the quality is only so so. It is extra to add caipirinha which is too bad since it is authentically Brazilian but not worth the extra cost. You need to reserve ahead as it is busy, usually some larger parties.

It's definitely a place for a business lunch or whoever you need to impress because it's a classy place - of course, in the Island Shangri-La. But I felt like I paid for the location and the ambiance more than the actual food, which I am generally not a fan of. The food tasted good, but the value wasn't that good. We're talking about almost $500 (~$60 usd) for a lunch set so it'd better be amazing and unforgettable, right? The sashimi was fresh, but nothing too special. It's good they gave us fresh wasabi, but for this type of place it's pretty much a standard. Their rolled beef slices stuffed with vegetables were delicious but a bit underseasoned. Codfish was good but nothing stood out. Same for the fried rice. It's just when food was put in a cute, small container, and served in a fancy environment, they'll trick our brains to think they taste better, but when I thought about the actual taste, it wasn't anything special. It's cool to see the chef cooking in front of us on the teppan, but he wasn't too friendly and mostly just did his own thing and cook in silence the whole time... The staff didn't check on us regularly. It wasn't easy to track a server down. I'd say overall the food was good but nothing so special that you couldn't find in another Japanese restaurant in HK; and there are so many of them. It's cool we came here for a nice brunch for a special occasion, but I'd be hesitant to come back again especially for the kaiseki - it's a big commitment!
