Café 360 is an Americanized Western café that serves fusion-type dishes. Located in Dragon Centre…read morein Sham Shui Po, Café 360's menu and food offerings certainly draw in a crowd. I would say that the interior (and cute exterior) is very typical to what you'd see in the hip, trendy LA Asian American cafés - pretty quotes on the wall, cute decorations, dim lighting. This is definitely a good date place - and you can roam the mall after! I came with my family during their afternoon teatime, thinking that there would be some specials offered around 2 PM. I think they had a lunchtime special, so even at 2 PM, the restaurant was packed with customers and guests waiting for a seat. After you're seated at a table, you have to go to the front counter to order your food. You're given a number, and when the food is ready the waiter/waitress will serve the food to your table. Since it's Hong Kong and you can split dishes without anybody really caring, we decided to order fewer items to be shared amongst ourselves and eat elsewhere if we were still hungry. Porcini rice with pork and kimchi in stone pot: $46 HKD and with an additional $12 HKD, we were able to add on a puff pastry soup. I have to say that the rice was really good. Very similar to the Chinese sausage in a stone pot, except this rice had flavoring and ingredients to it. Along with the pork belly and kimchi - flavoring of everything was on point, and it definitely filled us up. Cream of mushroom puff pastry soup: When the waitress brought our soup to us, one of them was slightly burnt, and without us even commenting, she said that she was going to ask the chef to remake a new one for us. I don't think we would have really minded, but that was really nice of her. The soup is definitely something you must try! Rich flavoring of mushroom in a creamy broth. The puff pastry was light and flaky, with really good flavor. As you break into the puff pastry, some of it drops into the soup so you get a crispy texture as you drink the creamy soup. I really liked it. Spaghetti Bolognese with puff pastry soup: This set lunch combination was $56 HKD or roughly $8 USD. I thought it was fairly priced, since it came with the puff pastry soup. The spaghetti wasn't too unique. Tasted very similar to how my mom cooks her spaghetti, except it was slightly sweeter. I probably wouldn't recommend ordering this dish if you're looking for something unique or different to try. Hot tea and hot milk tea - nothing special. The hot milk tea was pretty strong, but not as smooth as some of the other places I've tried. tl;dr - Overall, a really cute place to go for lunch or brunch. They also serve waffles and breakfast items. I really like the interior design of the place. The workers are super nice and friendly. Highly recommend if you're looking for a nice place for brunch!

They serve surprisingly good western food choice ! On the night that I went, the salmon steam tomato omelette rice ( omrice) was on special meaning it came with free drink and soup (!) We also ordered the baked spaghetti which was pretty tasty . Would highly recommend this place and would definitely want to try other things on their menu . Personally I think it is good value for the quality of food and the ambiance you'd get. But if you are talking bout about relativity, it is rather expensive compared to other choices you can get in Sham Shui Po .( I don't think anyone should travel all the way just to try this place )

Their roast goose was meaty, juicy and not overly fatty. Their wontons had a full shrimp with minced pork and just the right amount of firmness. Can't go wrong if you crave Cantonese fast food and they are open late.

We tried the following: Cucumber swirls marinated in rice vinegar with white button mushrooms and red chili. A crunchy cooling appetizer. Sweet & Sour Tenderloin - their version of the classic Cantonese dish. Served in a cloud flowing dish. Bite size piece of meaty pork in a light batter, smothered in sweet & tangy sauce with a hint of chili pepper. Shrimp with Vermicelli - raw butterfly shrimp on top of vermicelli steamed in a clay pot table side with soy/garlic based gravy. Very umami and the shrimp were cooked just right. Fried Rice w/Truffle and Beef - honestly this is just like beef fried rice with a very very slight hint of truffle. Tasty but not special. Mango Shaved Ice - their take on shaved ice with a whimsical marsh mellow panda bear and red bean paste in the middle of the shaved ice. A very refreshing dessert and good ending to a savory dinner. Better than most mall food!

However, I really didn't think the food matches the decor and price point. Food: 3.5 stars Ambience/service: 5 stars Value: 2.5 stars On my visit I had three courses: poke tuna appetizer, the longastine ravioli, and the chestnut dessert. 1The tuna appetizer was ok. It is a passable dish but I really didn't think it was anything special and nothing really distinguishing from eating something similar at a pole shop. 2The langoustine ravioli dish was the best of the night. The laksa broth it was served in had a nice richness and wasn't too heavy. The noodles it was served with was also nice. I'm also a sucker for a poached egg so this is a dish I would like. The portion was a bit small for a main but the flavors were good. 3The chestnut dessert I really didn't like very much. There was too much chestnut purée and the brownie bites it was served with wasn't that great. This dish could have really used some ice cream.

Time of visit: September 2015…read more After reading that Maison Es is one of the new must-try restaurants in Hong Kong, I put it at the top of my list (mainly because of the girly interior decor). Needless to say, the whole experience was very, very disappointing as you might have already read about on my Instagram. Suffice it to say, everything was overpriced and the food quality definitely did not justify the pricey menu. I ordered the following: Blueberry Pancakes with Orange & Lemon Curd Five sad-looking mini-pancakes that were too dry and floury. For $180, I'd rather go back to Tabibito and order their super-fluffy pancake with caramelized bananas. Mushroom & Eggs Crêpe Don't remember the exact name for this dish but all I can say was it was another overpriced dish. Croque Madame If you're not ready to pay $200 for a disappointing Croque Madame, don't come here. Crab Cake Soufflé Let's just say, I prefer sticking with soufflés for dessert. Valrhona Hot Chocolate They can't possibly mess up Valrhona chocolate though right? All in all, the food was overpriced, the staff didn't know what was going on and the food was mediocre (and that's a generous statement). The interior decor and the flowers by the entrance are a nice touch. Our server told us the chefs recommend that we order something sweet first before the savory. We asked him why that was the case and his response was, "I'm not too sure. It's just what the head chef said." From this conversation, here's another lesson I learned from this experience. While most restaurants treat the servers as part-time workers who only need to take down people's orders and help the customers refill their water glasses, these are the people who are customer-facing and are essentially, the face of your brand. If they don't understand the restaurant, the brand and the concept well, they won't be able to help you persuade the customers to order an extra dish or try an additional dessert after their meal. I'll admit, I was quite harsh when I said I don't think Maison Es will survive for too long if they don't make any improvements but since the F&B industry in Hong Kong is so competitive and the customers are more and more demanding as the middle-class continues to grow, F&B establishments need to continue to improve.

We know good Italian food. Five of us, on a strong recommendation. The lobster pasta: two tiny pieces of lobster, no sauce in sight. The whole branzino looked suspiciously like half a fish -- dull presentation, duller flavour. The rest was equally unbearable. The waitress WHISPERED the specials. We asked three times if she could speak up. No luck. She said she'd be back to take our order. She never came. The staff huddled at their stations, ooohing over some social media platform. NOT ONCE did anyone glance at our table. We were ready to order another bottle of wine-- probably to numb us to the pain of the meal and dining experience. No one came.

The set meal, three courses at about USD $38, offers a solid value, service is friendly, and a classic tiramisu in a glass cup with soft pillows of mascarpone is a genuinely perfect dessert.
