My dad likes to come here with the whole family and order a bunch of his favourites. It's nothing fancy but it's comfort food. I've always found the food on the salty side, requiring quite a bit of white rice to wash it down. Plus, it's not the cleanest place in the world even by Hong Kong street food standard. As for service... what service? If you're here, try their roast pork (cha siu), as well as some of their clay pots. Just don't forget to order some rice to go with it.

It's outside and nasty. You have to ask for the key to use the women's bathroom, which is a squatting toilet. Didn't see anything in English so you might need to know Chinese to eat here.

It served with French fries.

DO NOT COME HERE. Disappointing to say the least and absolutely outrageously terrible service…read more Booked a reservation through Quandoo today to treat my family to dinner. We made reservations a few days ago and had spent substantial time looking through the menu, we were excited for this meal. Upon arrival tonight, the hostess refused to let us in, saying that we did not have a reservation (even though I have a confirmation email) and that someone actually booked the entire venue so they did not have a table for us. We argued with them for some time and were prepared to show them our confirmation, and they actually claimed to not e associated with the site Quandoo. Upon pressing more, they told us that they actually had a reservation and had contacted me to let me know the venue was booked and they were unable to accommodate us. This did not take place and I have no missed emails or phone calls from Petite Oyster. They did not so much as apologize for screwing up and we ended up having to scramble to find another restaurant in Sheung Wan last minute for my last dinner in Hong Kong.

We decided to splurge a bit before our hike so got their sweet and sour fish, lobster, and noodles. Everything was fresh and flavorful. Service was quick since it was early morning.

They're likely most famous for their Lobster and cheese but my favorite things have been (seasonally) the razor clams, steamed grouper, clams in black bean sauce, and the seaweed soup. Say hi to the friendly restaurant dog as well!

The full order of chicken is 12 pcs and we order the chicken and fries which is 6pcs of chicken. Beware as one pcs of chicken could actually be 1/3 of a piece of breast with mostly bone - we got 2-3 pcs of this weird cut, 1 leg, 1 thigh and 1 wing. The seasoning is pretty good. Chicken is tasty. Goes well with beer.

$580 for all you can eat shabu shabu. Unlimited beef, pork and hairy crab. First thing first - $580…read moreis not cheap for jap style all you can eat and naturally you will expect some real good beef / pork / crab. Beef is certainly good but not great. Hairy Crab is the standard buffet breed, which is a bit salty but lacking the freshness. The pork is a bit too fatty. The restaurant offers quite a variety of Japanese sake and umeshu. Those who appreciate jap sake will definitely appreciate the vast choice you have. Sake is served right with ample of ice for the umeshu and ice bottle for the sake. The service is quite good overall. I am leaning towards to give it a 4 stars but was held back due to the price and so-so food quality. For those who can eat a lot, I will highly recommend the all you can eat.

Hidden upstairs in an old commercial building in the busiest area of Kowloon right on Nathan Road,…read morenot a lot of people know this place exist. So most of their patrons are locals and people that work in the area. Just like all other Char Chaan Tein in the city they open early and close late to serve all meals all day, from regular stirred fry items to fancy restaurant quality dishes. Jade is our regular place for group gathering, for a number of reasons. The location - it conveniently located and close to the Yaumatei MTR station for everyone to get there easily and swiftly. It's also not known to tourists, so it's less busy and much quieter at night. Price - everything is very reasonably priced, and there is no service nor corkage charges. Food quality - very good given it's only a Char Chaan Tein. Service - not extremely attentive but good enough to be not disturbing. Space - their dinging room is big, hard to find these days when rent is sky high. The most important - it's a mom & pop operation and not a chain! With all my support for local small businesses, they have all my votes. So if your are entertaining a large or very large group with a limited budget, this place is a very good choice. For very large groups, reservations are always best.

One could say it's a bit ballsy to name your sushi restaurant after Tokyo's famous Tsukiji fish…read moremarket. What if your food pales in comparison? However, the vibe here is really chill and not at all pretentious, so I think living up to the name is the least of the staff's worries. The space is tiny and fits about 16 people at most. Ambiance-wise it's very no frills; menu-wise there's a lot to choose from. Their sushi bento set lunch had nice offerings- loved the mushroom-y miso soup. The only side I didn't like was the tempura; thought it was a bit overdone. Fish quality isn't mind blowing, but the pricing is very affordable (and I didn't get sick!) so a solid 3 stars it is.

Staff were friendly and attentive. Variety of menu items to choose from - pretty decent coming here for lunch. I tried their delxue chirashi, which had salmon, tuna and uni. Quality wise isn't super fabulous - but I think it's pretty affordable and simple for a quick bite (around $12-14 CAD). The meal also came with a small salad and miso soup, which was a nice appetizer start. If you're in the area exploring Soho, it would be a nice place to try.

WTF (Wine, Tapas, Fun) has been a popular go to in Soho for a unique combination of tapas, drinks,…read moreand even hookah / shisha. Located on the hilly Elgin street, WTF has been an easy expat friendly dinner spot and an even more intimate after meal drinks destination. The vibe gets even more interesting and pleasantly smokey with the late night hookah crowd. With its narrow interior and high ceilings, things can get a bit messy when the place is packed. This is not the type of place to move around and mingle when the seats are filled, so consider coming out on a weeknight or make reservations to secure a spot. Bathrooms are a bit of a misnomer as well, but keep the sangria to a minimum if you don't feel like doing the deed in a tight space. Speaking of sangria, their house red is easy on the lips. It's not potent enough to cause any funny faces but it's tasty enough to merit more than one glass. Their happy hour at one point was 2 for 1, which included cocktails and other beverages -- though I'm not sure if it still exists. I've had a quality margarita or two here, which is a good alternative to non-Sangria / wine-os. If there was any surprise, it was the food. Tapas were never meant to be portion heavy and they're pricey ($88-120HKD) but they're also really solid. The patatas bravas are a tasty staple, seasoned well, and feature a dollop of crema on top for some textural fun. I have high regard for the croquetas de jamon y queso, which is a crunchy mesh of ham bits and cheese and quite pleasing on the palate. Perhaps the biggest surprise was the gambas al ajillo, an easy dish to mess up but done quite well here. The shrimp were tender and juicy, retaining all the elements of a quality dish. I was less thrilled with the albondigas con salsa tomate, only because the meatballs themselves were a bit tough to chew but the salsa was on point. The same could be said for the chuletas de cordiro, a set of grilled lamb chops, which were more chewy than tender. And what should've been the star of the show, the jamon serrano, was disappointingly a few thin slices at something like 248HKD. I have no doubt they were imported from the source, but they didn't muster enough of a tastebud bang as I would have hoped. Then there is the hookah. Soho prices mean it doesn't come cheap, but the sting of the price tag is softened when puffing flavored tobacco with a group of people. The staff is usually good about coming to help rid the ashes and performing some occasional hookah maintenance. The reality of a long lasting puck is almost never enough to keep it interesting. And to that, I say WTF.

I like my own meal, and I also enjoy a more hearty portion. But on top of my disdain for tapas, the ones we got were for the most part ungood. We got the meatballs, the bacon wrapped shrimp, calamari, and ham & cheese croquettes. Everything was greasy and heavy, no subtlety or creativity in the preparation. And even the Tanqueray and tonic I ordered tasted flat. My friends ordered sangria that looked pretty good, but I didn't try it. Lower Elgin Street/ Peel Street/ Graham Street have a large selection of casual pubs similar to WTF. I recommend you look elsewhere.
