I was excited to try Carbone's Hong Kong location since my whole family love to go to their NYC…read morelocation. Luckily it was much easier to reserve a table in Hong Kong than the one in NYC. First off it was kind of hiding inside a commercial building. It required an uphill climb before reaching there. If you are planning to take your elderly friends or parents, I strongly encouraged taking a taxi there. We were greeted by a friendly hostess as soon as we stepped out of the elevator. The whole place was elegant and tasteful arts were hanging on the walls throughout the whole dinning room. It was lavishly decorated. The staffs were attentive and friendly. However I found it funny that the majority of the staffs only spoke English. It was kind of ironic that we had to speak English in a Cantonese speaking island. Of course we had to order Caesar Salad and Spicy Rigatoni because they are the two popular dishes at Carbon. Caesar salad was made in front of you and the waiter told us he flown to their NYC location to master the skill of making this salad. I was ensured everything was as good as their NYC location. The salad was fresh and crunchy; it was a combination of Baby Romaine lettuce, garlicky croutons and shaved cheese tossed in a rich tangy creamy dressing. Every bite was covered with a right amount of freshly made flavorful dressing. The mouth watering Spicy Rigatoni was so irresistible. The creamy spicy tomato sauce blended beautifully with the pasta. It was so delicious and addictive. I would not leave Carbon without eating its Spicy Rigatoni. We also tried the Veal Parmesan but it was kind of a disappointment because the meat was too dry and tough. The saving grace was that it was still full of flavor. We did have a good dinning experience there. I think it is a good restaurant for a romantic dinner or special occasions. It was as pricy as their NYC location but the food wasn't as good though. I just couldn't resist to compare both places. So for all the Carbon fans, it would be nice to visit this location because you might have a different opinion about it.

Eating a meal here feels like I'm in a scene from Godfellas. The atmosphere of old school New York…read moreItalian restaurant is captured well here. The food is really quite good and the service is also excellent as well. The pricing is where your eyes will jump out of your head. An order of meatballs will set you back 268 hkd and a side of broccoli over 130 hkd. The food is good but it's tough to stomach the price tag if you aren't here on a business meal. Food: 4.25 stars Service/atmosphere: 4.5 stars Value: 3 stars Overall: 4 stars Recommendations: bananas a la rum, rib eye Diana, baked clams, vodka sauce rigatoni On my latest visit to Carbone, I came for the set lunch. It's enough for two people but if you are really hungry you may want to order another appetizer. The set comes with your choice of a starter or pasta, a main, and a choice for dessert. We opted for the rigatoni with vodka sauce, the ribeye and bananas a la rum. 1) Rigatoni with vodka sauce- coming to a American Italian restaurant and not ordering this seemed like a shame. Good thing is that the dish is down well. The vodka sauce is nice and creamy and the pasta is cooked well and had a little bite to it. 2) Rib eye Diane - The rib eye is cooked and served in a really luscious mushroom sauce. The sauce really makes the dish. The steak itself was slightly a bit tough and had a few cuts with too much fat. However, I did really enjoy this dish. 3) Bananas a la rum- my favorite thing I had. Bananas are flambéd in a rum sauce and then poured over three scoops of ice cream and cake. Vanilla cookies are crumbled over the dessert to provide some texture and crunch for the dessert. This is really delicious and is a must order.

On the day we were there, it was ordering 600g off main and get a bottle for 150 or similar things like that. It doesn't look like a great deal to us so we just ordered a bottle separately and had whatever food we'd like. Roasted half chicken was awesome - tender and flavorful and it comes with fries. However the duck leg is very meh.. small portion and not that great. Oyster was small but tasted ok. I have to say one staff was giving us such bad service - when we asked for the wine list without knowing it's at the back, she just took the menu away. If I ever come back again, I would not sit upstairs. Downstairs is way nicer.

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.

It comes with fries too so it is very filling. Risotto- exceptional! The semi-raw egg just add an extra creaminess to it. But they drizzle quite a lot of oil on top of it so it felt a bit heavy but overall very good! Side note: the AC here is very very very cold so bring a jacket or come with an extra layer in summer time.

Not necessarily for a recent visit, but more so one in general…read more This spot has been here for a number of years already. Though it's technically a restaurant, this place has a very big facility, which means if you want to come here for drinks, a place which functions kind of like a lounge, or have some sort of office event, this place is also a good choice. As such, this place is unsurprisingly quite popular on Friday night (or Thursday night also), or just nights when people typically have social activities in general. Personally, I feel like the food is not bad. I first came a number of years ago, and thought at the time that the food was pretty good. Having come back again in the past couple months as well, I found myself still basically feeling that way. However, I feel like this place is pretty bad value overall. It's very expensive, which is, I feel, mainly due to the high overhead costs. Having a restaurant in this one little area is very expensive, considering this is prime office real estate. The problem is made worse by the fact that they just have such a large space here. The amount of food you get is not really in line with the price you pay; it would be one thing if it were expensive and you got enough food with your dollar, but that's just not the case, even if the food is good. The problem isn't just M&M fox however, Quarry Bay in general is in general just a wasteland when it comes to fine dining that is actually good value. I think if you're really determined to have western food that is like... better than mcdonalds, you should either go to frites (less than five minutes away), or just not dine in this neighborhood in general.

Wow! Super surprised there is a yelp entry for this restaurant!…read more This place I feel is not in the most ideal area. Personally, I don't like coming to LKF to have dinner or lunch or whatever. Still, I can't fault them too much for the location, and many people have actually done the same since there are a number of good restaurants in LKF area. This place is primarily a steak place, though they have a few other things to choose from as well. I believe lunch times they offer a AYCE sort of option, where you get a main and then the salad bar is buffet. I've been to it before and it's pretty good. I've heard however since COVID they have changed it somewhat. The other night I came and got the seafood guazzetto, which is about $300 HKD, and has a bunch of different things such as fish, octopus, clams, etc. Lots of seafood essentially. Other things I tried included the sides of brussel sprouts, mushrooms, bruschetta, some of my brother's sirloin steak, some of the fish of the day (halibut?). Overall, the food is quite nice. I will say, they tend to use a bit too much butter/oil here. I know this is kind of true whenever you eat out, but here it is definitely noticeable. I would recommend them to tone it down just a little bit, since there are always ways to spice up your dish without going overboard on the fats

I came here for dinner three nights ago, and I'm still full from it!…read more The five of us shared bruschetta (it comes with four but they added one more for us), the cured meats (a great curated selection), and the meatballs for appetizer. They also brought out some veggies and dip before we ordered (which I had never seen done before) along with bread. The highlight of the night was the steaks of course. We shared the florentina (aka the porterhouse. A 32oz wagyu beast) and a filet. The meats came on a cutting board already cut, so the sharing was easy. They were perfectly seasoned, tender, and flavorful. We had roasted veggies and creamed spinach as sides. The latter was addictive! Chef Todd was around to explain their meat selection when I walked around to check them out in the case. We didn't get to send our regards to him, as we stayed late and were the last to leave. Todd, if you're reading this, hail to the chef! We went without a reservation and were seated right away. It was a Thursday night, but we had gotten there around 9 which might explain the vacancy. It's a great option for groups and celebratory dinners :)

Clean brunch menu that you would expect of other restaurants - I went straight with an ala-carte to really try out the menu. My stepdaughter ordered the Mushroom Linguini which was prepared well - al dente and not soggy. Hubby went for Eggs Royale with salmon and they turned out decent. I decided on a Quinoa Salad topped with a side of grilled beef (note: beef needed time to rest after serving, wait for about 5 min and it would be about right). Overall decent food for brunch - not exceedingly expensive - would definitely go back. More so since it's just a stone's throw away - happy to have another decent restaurant in the hood.

The staff were great! They let us arrive early and decorate the table with balloon, confetti and appropriate party theme head wear. They were also so patient as we waited for about 45 minutes before we ordered any food as the guest of honour was running a little behind schedule. The restaurant has a super atmosphere; relaxed, chilled and totally adds to the upcoming buzz of the Sai Ying Pun neighbourhood. The food did not disappoint either. We started off with group sharing starters of a plate of cold cuts (from the specials board) and mini pulled pork sliders. The array of meat on the cold cuts was fab - so many different types to try. My personal fave were the sausages. I can never resist a sausage. For mains, I hit up the chicken schnitzel. Dericious. Perfectly crumbed and fried. Only downside (if you'd like to call it that) is that the portions are HUGE! I would recommend sharing mains or skipping starters. I ended up taking home half my main (which was scoffed by a friend at the after bar as she's missed dinner). I also tried bites from my friends and I have to mention the pork knuckle. Salty. Tender. One of the best knuckles I've had in HK. All in all a great find, and one I recommend if you're in the neighbourhood.

Before I start expressing how I actually felt about the dining experience, I want to specify that…read moremy waiter was the best part of this experience by a mile. Mustafa (hopefully this is spelled correctly) was: kind, attentive, incredibly speedy, and inhumanly composed. An absolute delight to have as a server, and frankly while my review isn't particularly positive, I would have found the experience to be borderline 1 star just based on the actual flavors of the food relative to the pricing if not for him having saved the experience. If I could do this dinner again, I would honestly order less food, as you get the same view whether you order a single tasting menu and grab some takeout elsewhere afterwards, but at face value the flavors seemed bold yet feasible, as though they could turn out well depending on the execution. In reality we ended up spending approximately $1200HKD per person on a tasting menu that had one to two memorable items each. We actually spent an additional $98HKD on a dish that neither one of us felt compelled to finish. The second course tempura was more interesting flavor-wise than either of our mains, in part due to the chili infused tempura sauce doing a lot of heavy lifting. We are not generally fine dining individuals, it is an occasion we reserve for special events (this was our anniversary), but we do have enough experience to know that the execution of these dishes was miles away from a single Michelin star, yet commanded prices well above most of the one-star restaurants we've visited. The waiter took plenty of photos to commemorate the experience, and we managed to see both the 8PM "city of lights" show on the businesses spread along the harbor, as well as a fascinating lightning storm directly in front of us in a massive panoramic, which should lead to an unforgettable night, but the quality of the food left us grasping at straws to find silver linings. I wish I could remember this experience more fondly, but every time a family member asks whether we enjoyed the food, we struggle to muster any enthusiasm and at roughly $2,800HKD after 10% service charge I can't help but wish we had gone elsewhere to get better food and just visited some sort of observation deck instead.
