Located in the mall next to Sha Tin Station on the first floor, Yaki Ana is a small Japanese…read morerestaurant with a wide variety of mains, entrees and desserts. The decor had a nice feel to it and the wall has a fabulous koi fish and sakura. Meals were decently sized and delicious. I ordered the chicken curry which arrived with miso soup and a tofu dish, later followed by a strawberry dessert.

Not worth the price AT ALL. I do NOT recommend going here. Although the environment is nice, we had…read moreto call waiters several times to get water/tea for us. The food is very average at this pricing. I went with my 2 friends and ordered only a few dishes and spent already 1000 HK!! The sushi rice is very tiny and the food did not look even at all close to what the menu image showed us. Especially the squid... I think the squid was a total rip-off. The image showed an entire squid covering the whole plate. When it came, we got only about 10 slices of small squid. Will NEVER come back again.

This Butao in the Sha Tin location is nestled right next to Din Tai Fung (a one-star Michelin…read morerestaurant) yet still manages to attract a waiting line of equal length. If that's no indication of how good the place is, perhaps the food will be a better one; I ordered the squid-ink ramen and was utterly beyond satisfied. The order form they have you fill out is laden with customisation options, so the broth comes as rich as you want it to be and same goes for noodle firmness, spice level and condiments. I went for a rich broth with normal firmness on the noodles. The broth definitely has a dominant squid-ink taste yet it's well-balanced with a robust creaminess. The pork belly was tender and succulent and ordering extra noodles makes it even easier to finish the rest of the broth. I would most definitely recommend a visit to Butao! P.S: the seating can be rather limited at times so expect to be sat close next to strangers.

I came here for lunch as soon as it opened. There was a huge line right behind. Once table is…read moreready, they will ask which package you're going to have for your meal. We picked the australian wagyu for $250hkd per person. The server brings the meat to the table and the other ingredients for the hot pot is self serve. There's quite a variety, from a salad bar to eat before the soup is boiled to meat balls and veggies. There is also a wide variety of drinks to choose, from soft drinks to tea and coffee. To finish your meal, there is a soft serve ice cream machine with toppings such as marshmello and sprinkles that is also provided. Overall, it was pretty good. Service was pretty normal. The only thing is I wish the servers would bring the meat out faster. Definitely worth a try during the winter!!

Cater to families, they have menu items that is suitable for all ages, even with a special menu for kids! Most items can be had as a "Set" meal, that includes: Salad, Soup and an appetizer. If you opted out it will be even more economical! Personally, I would highly recommend to add extra to have a complete meal! Please see my photos for my Stone Grilled Seafood Set and also D's Pork Donburi and Chicken Donburi! All the items were outstanding for the price they charge, also service friendly and the dining area is well kept and very clean!

Situated in a food court type setting within Yata, this eatery has dedicated seating and more of a…read morerestaurant-type feel than the other offerings. From an expectation standpoint, I thought it'd be meh to average and was very pleasantly surprised with what we ordered. Snow Crab Sushi - They place a nicely-sized crab leg section atop the rice with most of the shell removed. Only a pre-cut knuckle shell section remains, but is easily opened to reveal the rest of tasty crab flesh. Salt Scallop (Shio Nigiri) - Firstly, the scallops here are humongous, easily 2X what is typically found in the US. Secondly, who knew that sea salt flakes could complement nigiri so well? The citrus burst of the lemon plus salt and a generous portion of scallop makes for a perfect bite of food. Roasted Norway Salmon / Roasted Scallops / Roasted Fattest Tuna (Aburimono) - These were my absolute favorites and each featured a slight char to both the protein and the rice (blow-torched?). The resulting flavor was a delicious grilled flavor combined with the buttery texture of the fish. The ONLY negative to this place was that the rice kept separating from the fish etc. and falling apart. This is easily remedied by stuffing one thing after another quickly into your mouth ;)

While most cafes do tea sets only…read moreon weekdays, UCC does them on weekends as well which is great because their sets are actually pretty good value for money. They come with food and a drink, and most people get hot coffee because their coffee is AMAZING. It's UCC Japanese-style roasted coffee, so it's not the typical coffee you're used to drinking. It's much smoother and richer and I actually prefer UCC coffee to western-style coffee. The iced coffee is very refreshing, though when served this way the ice dilutes the flavor of the coffee so I prefer opting for the hot coffee. The tea set menu doesn't change often, and the first few options are always waffles - both sweet and savory, like waffles with blueberries and ice cream, matcha and red bean waffles, tuna salad with waffles etc. They gave other items too like French toast and a slice of cake, but the waffles are amazing and I choose that almost every time I'm there for tea. The waffles don't have the overly 'eggy' taste that I find in a lot of waffles at other places, and they're just the right about of sweet. The set comes with two waffles which to me is just about right for an afternoon tea set - doesn't leave me feeling bloated, but I don't feel like I've barely eaten either.
