After a couple days in Hong Kong, we were desperate for a good salad, which turned out to be…read moresurprisingly hard to find anywhere near our hotel. So when we spotted Grill 28 and saw actual salad options on the menu, it felt like a small victory. We ordered the Spinach Salad and the Oriental Steak Salad. Service wasn't the fastest, but honestly we were just thrilled to see fresh greens. Everything tasted crisp and clean, even if the spinach salad randomly showed up with blue cheese (not listed, not loved, but easy enough to pick off). The unexpected bonus here is the 2‑for‑1 Happy Hour, which seemed to be the real draw for most of the crowd!

LOVELY! What a gem in the empty, cavernous Harbour Industrial Center (two blocks over from the…read moreoutlet shopping building Horizon Plaza). Having been out to Horizon Plaza to go shopping on occassion, I was aware that there are virtually no places to eat, sit , relax. On Yelp, I discovered Artichoke Canteen, bookmarked it and then had a plan for our shopping outing in Ap Lei Chau. In order to find, locate the entrance on Lee Lok Street. It appears to be residential or empty and it does feel a bit strange. The door man confirmed we were in the right spot and we took the elevators up to the 3rd floor. Hit the restroom you see when you get off the elevator if you need it, for although not a great restroom, it is the only one available to you. You continue to walk down the large, cement open hallways and think you are certainly in the wrong place, when at the end of the hallway you discover Artichoke Canteen. Open for about 3 years now and catering to many weddings, corporate events, fashion shows, birthday party dinners, large groups, art shows, etc, they do serve lunch and dinner. When we walked in, we felt like we had walked into someone's personal home and kitchen space in their funky urban warehouse loft. Very open, lots of light, extremely kind staff...it is a great, casual space. They have a great big outdoor patio as well. Big wooden farm tables, mis matched chairs and table vases, open window to see what is going on in the kitchen. The menu has a heavy vegetarian feel and Italian influences, but includes wood oven pizzas, pasta, salads, seafood and chicken. Everything is homemade, fresh, quality ingredients, made with care for serving healthy stuff. They have pea soup which is a specialty! We enjoyed their soup of the day, which was a fresh mushroom and potatoe. So delicious, absolutely fresh and tasted like the earth of where the mushrooms grew! We also shared the paella, made with saffrom that comes straight from Turkey. It was superb! Washed down with a freshly pressed 5 vegetable juice, we had a lovely little lunch at the Artichoke Cafe. The staff and owners could not have been more friendly, welcoming and gracious. We felt so welcome and comfortable in this little gem of a spot for our quiet little lunch. We will absolutley return every time we are over here shopping at Horizon Plaza.

Good pork steak! What a pleasant surprise! The artichoke salad is also good! Nice and comfy…read morerestaurant in an industrial building

Others got the chicken wings.......if you're not having dim sum or indulging in the local offerings, Spaghetti House is A-OK

I take it back. This branch of spaghetti house was horrible. Went for lunch and the lunch menu is…read morecheap compared to ordering a la carte. However we ordered from the menu and it was $168 for one spaghetti and one seafood soup. The worst part was the seafood soup was just a tin of mushroom campbells soup dumped into some seafood bits and it was obvious the puff pastry was heated up in the microwave. The spaghetti was tasteless and it was just a bit of cream sauce with 4 prawns on top. The service was also pretty bad even though the place is mostly empty. Compared to my experience with the branch in admiralty this place really should get shut down to avoid more people falling into its trap.

Great pasta! It's definitely worth getting their tasting menu here! For a party of 4; we were able…read moreto get 4 appetizers; 6 pastas and 4 desserts! My absolute favourite appetizer was the burrata cheese. It was chewy on the outside but fluffy and gooey on the inside. The pastas were all al dente; chewy and flavorful. The truffle taglionini is definitely worth a try. For dessert we got a panne cotta and tiramisu. The tiramisu definitely stood out as a favourite All in all it was a great place to go. Best to go here with a few friends to take advantage of their tasting menu!

Even it was full, the receptionist was able to give us a very comfortable and big table even we were just 5. They right away offered us a Bottle of processco. Although I dont drink alcohol, I really appreciated them for offering my friends a bottle of Procesco so we could be able to have a great Birthday and Farewell Celebration for our friends. To describe our dining experience in one word, I would say Awesome. 5 star isnt enough to rate their service. Az was the one who served our table together with Tammy. Both of them were excellent! They really could not have been better. We relied on their suggestions for the food choices and there was no regrets. Each dishes, from starters to desserts were absolutely perfect. before the food arrived, we were all chatting but after we had the first bite of the starter, our table should have been the most quiet table in the restaurant, we were all focused on how delicious the food were. I even ordered an extra round of Tiramisu out of the set menu we ordered, The tiramisu, is just WOW, The cream on the top until the buttom, made me want to order an extra one even I was already full. I'll highly recommend this restaurant especially to my friends who are Pasta Lovers. I could say Best pasta i've tasted ever and very GREAT service from the staffs especially AZ and Tammy. will surely be back soon with more and more friends. Also would like to thank them for the surprise Birthday Song for my friend.

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 :)

I wish the uni pasta had more emphasis on the uni portion - pasta itself was very good though. The steak was perfect for me although there was a tiny bone. The crema di limon was interesting. I thought pistachio crumble means there's some base but no it's just pistachio crumbs all around. Price was on the higher end but matches the setting I guess.

However, I ordered one of their specialties, the pappardelle with nose-to-tail bolognese, and loved it. My only complaint is that the pappardelle noodles were too wide (they came out like the pasta you use for lasagna) so it was a bit of a challenge eating with a fork. Still, the bolognese sauce tasted fantastic, and that's all that matters! The caprese salad also gets a thumbs up from me. According to their Facebook page, they have good happy hour specials ($99 for free flow Pabst Blue Ribbons, chicken wings, fries from 5-7 PM.) They also offer western (mostly American-style) breakfast starting at 8 AM, and has a DJ that does hip hop Fridays from 10 PM onwards. Basically... a solid all-day eating spot!

Came for a very late lunch with a friend - arrived around 3.45pm. The first thing I noticed was…read morethat the pasta counter, which I had been highly anticipating, was closed. The server let me know that it would reopen for dinner service at 5:30. That was a bummer, but the place proceeded to impress me in several ways afterward. First of all, there was a pizza on offer, at $32 for a rather generous square pan slice, with no cheese. For a lactose-free diner like myself, this is a big pro. Second, the order system is nicely designed. When you enter, you get a card which acts rather like a card in a University dining hall. There are several stations offering different foods, and the card is swiped for everything you order, which stores the value of that thing. At the end, you pay for what you ate. I enjoyed an antipasti (olives, sundried tomato, and anchovy) and a fresh bread (warmed and sliced to order), and my total came to $40. Not too bad for a late lunch/snack. Nice ambience as well. Like other places in Causeway, especially near Fashion Walk, the prices are a bit too high for my ideal. But it's a nice place to sit down and has a very versatile menu. I may be back.
