Fortunately, we were able to grab a table since we met at 10 AM on a Tuesday, but the service was quite slow. Overall, the food was pretty good and innovative. There were pastries that looked like shiitake mushrooms, but were soft baos that were filled with taro. I also enjoyed the lap cheong bao and custard buns. We didn't get too many savory items (only tried the har cheung and siu mai), but I remembered the sweet items were better. Not a bad spot for dim sum since it's close to the subway station and in general, a lively neighborhood to hang out at.

Having just returned from Japan and craving curry, I knew it was about time that I try SAMA. After…read morea rigorous yoga session, we climbed up the steep steps to SAMA and to our delight, there were many tables available. Immediately after being seated, I took a look around the the interior, and spotted a Hitachino Nest Owl T-shirt! I asked and it costs HK$120. Quite pricey, hmm... But back to the food! You have option to choose your spice level, your curry soup base, and your meat / vegetable accompaniment. I ordered the level 5 coconut marathon chicken curry while my friend ordered a level 10 tomato-based hungry bear (with hamburger patty) curry. Both were SAMA-licious! I didn't need to order any extra veggies because the pepper, okra, eggplant, broccoli, carrot and half egg were pretty sufficient for me (a girl). If you're looking for quality curry, go to SAMA!

As a lover of all things Japanese and especially all things curry, I was super stoked to come check…read moreout SAMA, a legendary spot from Sapporo which made its way to HK only a few years ago. Located on the corner roundabout on Gough, this Sheung Wan hot spot (#1) has attracted quite a following to an otherwise quiet area of the neighborhood. Like most places in the city, SAMA is tiny. There are only a handful of tables to accommodate groups (which likely seat 20 at most), so I wouldn't be surprised if there were waits during good weather nights. The decor has a modern edge to it, along with the consistent corporate urbanized graphics one would expect from a Japanese chain. The staff speak English decently, but Canto is the way to go here. How the curry portion of the menu works: 1) Choose A Spice Level: Baby Bear (0-5), Adult Bear (6-15), Crazy Bear (16-30). 2) Choose A Soup Base: Tomato, Coconut, Prawn (Seafood flavor) 3) Choose A Curry Entreé: Chicken, Pork, Seafood, Vegetarian Options ranging $78-128 One can also choose additional toppings from extra meats (+$30), veggies (+$10), tempura (+$30), and eggs (+$10). The menu is available in English, Chinese, and Japanese. There is a nice selection of Asian craft beers as well as nice variety of sides. My group and I enjoyed a variety of curry dishes, with the most notable being the Oink Oink ($96) spice level 10 and Ocean Trophy ($108) spice level 15. There was one with the Vegetarian Bear ($78) but with a solid spice level of 20. The flavors are extremely potent and the spice is definitely no joke. I thought SE Asian curries gave me trouble, but the veggie curry had me feeling the sweat beads. I like the punishment. Our array of sides were also tasty. I enjoyed the Tempura add on, as well as the Curry Fries ($28), Shishitou Brussel Sprouts ($58), Hokkaido Spinach ($72), and Garlic Prawns ($72). I wasn't super crazy about the Spiced Chicken Karaage ($68), Hokkaido Corn Croquettes ($18), or their Nagoya Style Curry Wings ($28). A slight eyeroll to the gimmicky t-shirt and recipe books on display but I'm sure there are some serious fanboys / girls out there. Parking is limited but doable in this part of HK. They accept all credit cards and are open till just before midnight. ______________ (#1) Literally. No pun intended.

I was sooo full, but I finished it all. * Razor Clams - perfection * Lobster - very flavorful and exceptional taste From the exceptional Char Siu to the Egg Noodles, I have not had anything better in San Francisco. Well, except for the unusually yucky Supreme Shark's Fin Soup. There is nothing supreme about the fake giant Shark's Fin and the thin soup. However, the service is superb and the head manager and head chef sincerely asserted on the genuineness of the dish. Love the subdued elegance of the atmosphere, excellent yet unpretentious service and exceptionally innovative cuisine. Can't wait to come here again!

If you prefer your chicken broth to be rich and creamy, their soup ramen is a delectable indulgence. There is always a line wrapping the restaurant. ＊Signature Chicken Soup Ramen 鶏白湯そば Unlike typical ramen, their broth is uniquely frothed to a cappuccino style to make sure every strand of noodle fully adsorbs the broth. The chicken broth is thick, creamy and densely packed with flavor. You can easily tell it is prepared out of simmering the chicken essence for hours. Each ramen is accompanied by a slice of slow-cooked chicken, two slices of cha shu and deep-fried burdock chips. I am totally impressed by how tender the chicken breast is! I asked for addtional ajitama every time. The egg is perfectly soft-boiled and marinated.

I saw that there are often lineups, but I came after the lunch time rush ~2pm) and there was only 1-2 other tables and no wait. Inside was quite spacious with bar seating and table seating - I honestly didn't mind the bar because it was still roomy (even roomy enough to put my carry on below me haha). There was only ~3 options on their menu so I opted for their Signature Chicken Soup Broth Ramen ($148 HKD). I was honestly blown away by the foamy broth - lightweight but full of chicken flavour. Not salty at all and had such a clean and creamy taste. Noodles were cooked perfectly and tasted similar to thin ramen noodles. It came with 2 different cuts of chicken and both were so tender. I especially enjoyed the cut of the thigh. The fried burdock root had a nice chewy texture. It didn't get too soggy even sitting in the warm broth for a while. I'd say it could be just a tad more crispy because it was a little hard to bite though but the flavour was perfect. Honestly it is quite pricy for a bowl of noodles, but I would definitely revisit as it was that good. Definitely worth the trek out to try!

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.

This is a Chinese style vegetarian food where they use meat substitutes to look and taste like real meat. Normally I am not a fan of this, I love vegetables but if i want some cha siu pork, I'll buy the real thing.... In saying this, the food was delicious. We ordered five dishes to share between the four of us. Their fried rice was delicious, it was an interesting mix of asparagus, egg and avocado. We also ordered a plate of cha siu "pork", Peking style sweet and sour "steak", taro "fish" cakes and and an egg, broccoli and "crab meat" dish. All came out hot, in the Chinese style of when they were ready and not all together. All the fake meats resembled the look and taste and texture of their meat equivalent except for the taro cakes. They just tasted and felt like taro, not fish like at all. This was fin as they tasted delicious as taro cakes. I would recommend coming here with a group as it will be hard to order a variety of dishes if you have no one to share them with.

It comes out on a tray and you pay for at the cashier. As with anything Disney, the food here is pricey. Most of their combo meals run about $20US. It' whatever entree you choose with a drink. The side order of wings were 3 for $6US. We ordered the Hawaiian Pizza Combo, Mickey Sushi and Maki Roll Combo, Curry Pork Chop Combo, and Curry Chicken and rice Combo. The food was good. The pizza was thin crust and crispy. It was loaded with toppings (tomatoes, green peppers, onions, pineapple, ham, and cheese) and shaped like Mickey's head. The Mickey Sushi was also shaped like a mouse head. It was sushi rice and tobiko. I liked the fried chicken wings the best. It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

No worries about eating all these fried food, they offer every table a Japanese tea to help digest the fried food. Also a bit of watermelon to help at the end of the meal. Almost forgot to mention, service is very efficient. If you're looking for Tonkatsu definitely need to give this place a try.
