    Ok, first of all, I have to admit I was totally here for the HKD$38 happy hour deal. They have a…read morequite extended happy hours over weekdays, from 12pm to 9pm, and we were here at 6pm sharp. Branded as Korean American gastropub, surely I wanted to try both their drinks and food. The happy hours menu is off the chart - they had 27 different drinks including beer, wine, liquors, soju cocktails (and I'll explain why I know the count so precisely...). If you check in to Yelp you got a free popcorn chicken per table too, boom. Free stuff is always the best stuff, and the popcorn chicken was actually very good and we ended up ordering another dish. Now on a chill evening of the last day of the a long weekend, we shouldn't really be drinking too much. But then, when the first round of drinks arrived, we were kind of skeptical about the portion of soju actually added to the cocktails. We blamed that to the Appleju where the apple juice masking the taste of the alcohol. But when we ordered the Sparkling Citron and they were still kinda of more like mocktails than cocktails, we quite shamelessly asked the staff if they could put more soju/liquors in our next round of drinks. I know, it's only $38 after all... Back to the food. They were amazing. Kimichi fries was good, and from a person who actually doesn't like kimchi AT ALL, this compliment does carry a lot of weight. We tried also the spicy fried chicken wings (not spicy enough), the salt and pepper wings (VERY GOOD), cheesy kimchi sliders (good, and again from the mouth of someone who doesn't like kimchi). Three hours passed right in front of five of us, as if the time went quicker when you were sitting at the chillaxing front door table. The drinks got better (i.e. stronger) afterwards which was definitely a plus. One of our friends wanted to challenge to finish all the drinks on the happy hour menu but we only managed to go through the right half of it. But I wouldn't complain at all having 20 cocktails in total among five of us and still managed to get down to HKD$350 per person, including the food we had.

    Finally! Respectable and tasty Korean inspired gastropub food in the heart of Central. Edition has…read moresome amazing grub that will satisfy anyone in the mood for some K food, but too lazy to travel on the other side of the city. The chef is a homegrown Hongkie however has studied food in both LA and Seoul, so the fusion food that is served here really hits the spot for me as I have a similar mix. The highlights of the evening: CHICKEN WINGS! The wings are smothered full of flavor, cripsy, juicy and overall deliciousness. I just wish they had more of it! Check out Wings Monday which is only $5HKD per wing with every drink purchase. Bulgogi Sliders- also delicious. High in flavor and raw garlic and jalapenos make this tasty slider packed with a punch. I perfer even more heat with more chili, but that is easily solved by just asking for some extra jalapeno. Kimchi Grilled Cheese- so easy yet so satisfying. Grilled with two types of cheese and layered with kim chi, this really sings comfort food for me. You can add an assortment of things to the sandwich, including fried egg- perfect. I also got to try some of the special homemade Korean spicy sauce and Siracha mayo- delicious. The drinks- they have Soju infused cocktails that are sure to please. Chili Mango, Yuzu, Milkis are all quite unique. Want the whole bottle straight up? No problem- very reasonable in price. Soju not your thing? They have a regular wine, beer and cocktails list too. Chef tells me they will be having some cool happy hour deals too so stay tuned. Overall, love this small cozy space. I am a huge fan!

I couldn't really read the QR code menu on my phone as the website wasn't too friendly in design for mobile navigation. They brought out a paper menu and it's a novel with pictures of every item! I decided to not go with their set lunches (three course soup/salad, mains, dessert or coffee). I just went for a beer and a crab/shrimp ball bite. It was delish and would def return for a more substantial meal. FYI, HH starts at 3pm where most of their beer and wine by the glass is close to 50% off!

I wanted to try the surf and turf Tuesday but they were sold out!! super disappointing! We came back for the mussels which are cooked properly, bathing in a broth of wine, olive oil, butter, parsley and stock. The fries were perfectly crispy and even work to dip into the broth. Although moule frites is the popular dish, I personally like to dip nice warm bread into the broth. Nothing better than soaking fresh bread in a tasty sauce. It's a cool spot for some drinks too Taste: *** Service: *** Ambiance: *** ------------------------------ FRITES Belgium on Tap G/F Queen's Road Centre 152, Queen's Road Central, Central, Hong Kong ------------------------------

Set up is modern contemporary, with a focus on wood tones that give a warm and inviting feeling, with highlights of moss green seatings, makes the space warm and cozy! Food is also a blend of traditional & contemporary fusion, we started with 1/2 Dozen of Scottish Oysters from Cumbria, light & refreshing, not overly creamy, with a crisp texture, a perfect match with our Sauvigon Blanc from New Zealand. USDA Strip Loin was paired with a light Teriyaki Sauce, served alongside ratatouille & steamed Japanese Rice. The steak was cooked according to my request: Medium Rare, I love the lightness of the Teriyaki Sauce that did not steal the show, and was just savory enough to enhance the meat. Roasted Miso Marinated Black Cod Served with Japanese Rice & Seaweed Purée, fish was cooked to perfection, still juicy and very tender, the Seaweed Purée gives a new dimension to the notion of having the umami of seaweed blend perfectly with the fish! The lunch set which comes with a Starter, Main & Dessert is at HK$198.00 / US$25.26 / CAD$33.47 / JPY¥2,717.37! This is our first try and with an outstanding venue and view, I am planning to be back to try out more on their menu! Since this location is relatively new, I am giving them a break for some of the mishaps with their service, overall, they are still polite & courteous. Parking is free with validation, just bring your dining bill to the service counter.

Plus the Chinese name of the place alludes to the phrase "so fucking good". Turns out, the food and the beer selection is pretty damn decent too! The menu is actually quite big, and represents the east-meets-west vibe of Hong Kong. For example, you'll find Iberico ham here in the form of char siu atop a bowl of rice and adorned by Japanese onsen egg; or braised Napa cabbage in a creamy French-style sauce with local fried shrimp. I came here with my mum, who prefers more traditional Chinese food as she's lactose intolerant, and we still had a great time. On top of that, they have a decent selection of draft and bottled beer, with a lot of local brews represented. They also have very interesting non-alcoholic choices -- again, great for non-drinking parents or friends. The lighting can be a little bit dark for some folks, but as long as anyone needed visual support has a phone with a flashlight, or a friend, reading the menu should be ok. This is absolutely the kind of place I'd chill at with a bunch of good friends.

Food: 3.75 stars Beer: 3.5 stars Environment: 4 stars Service: 3 stars Overall: 3.5 stars Recommendations: crab rice ball, signature ipa I ordered the char Shui rice with spa, crab rice ball, and the fried chicken and washed it down with a flight of beers. The flight of beers costs 140 hkd and you get a choice of 200ml servings of four beers. The char siu is sous vide and was really tender. The taste was a bit on the light side and wish it had a bit more of the bbq flavor. The rice was also really nice. However not a fan of the spa egg and the canard liver which seemed a bit out of place. The fried chicken and crab rice balls were both good. I liked the crab balls better and they had a nice crispness and the crab flavor shines through. Fried chicken is a substantial portion and this could be a main if that is all you are eating. The chicken is tender and has a nice crunchy exterior.
