I really enjoy exploring the new cafes and restaurants that's been proliferating within the Kwun…read moretong factory scene, and I'm so happy with this find! As with all the others, the journey here is marked with cautious anticipation - from locating the right factory building among the many other grey, run down entrances, to riding that elevator up to the right floor floor with a row of silent big metal gates marking the entrances of other tenants, to opening that one door and entering into a whole different environment of glassware clinking, servers hustling and diners enjoying their food. // FOOD // FRIED CALAMARI APPETIZER: this was recommended by our server (who was amazing btw) as one of the most popular appetizers there. The fried crispy calamari was made special by a spice coating and green pickled chilies scattered among the golden rings, and the avocado dip that accompanied it cuts perfectly into the oiliness of the calamari. Calamari wasn't THE best quality I've had, but the flavors more than made up for it to make me love this dish. I would highly recommend this, as this is quite a unique dish! SEAFOOD PASTA IN TOMATO SAUCE: don't think this was the exact name, but that's the gist of the dish. Super flavorful tomato sauce, generous portions of clams and shrimp bits, perfectly cooked pasta. Simple dish, but surprisingly yummy! BONE IN PORK CHOP: it came sliced up to reveal the perfectly cooked interior, so it was very convenient to share. Lovely juicy meat with amazing roasted vegetables, and it comes with a yuzu dipping sauce. Save some of the avocado dip from the appetizer, and slather it onto the roasted vegetables; it's actually delicious! TIRAMISU: again, a simple dish but made really well! It was creamy and the coffee flavors came through nicely. TOFU CHEESECAKE W BLACK SESAME SAUCE: so this was more of a novelty driven decision... We originally wanted the double chocolate tart but they took it off the menu, so I guess I was looking forward to something more rich. It was good, with a sprinkling of nuts on top that adds to the texture, but I guess I just don't really like tofu cheesecake (tastes a little too healthy haha) // SERVICE // The server who took our order was super friendly! She recommended the appetizer, which we ended up going with and enjoyed, and took the time to clearly explain the differences between two different pork based main courses when we couldn't decide. Our water was also refilled regularly and service was really attentive. // ENVIRONMENT // The decor was nice, seating was comfortable without being too crowded (they also have several large tables so this is a good spot for a group! We saw two groups celebrating birthdays that night). However, it was a little loud - maybe because of the way the acoustics in the room are, or maybe because of the fact that there are a few large groups. It's not to the point of discomfort, but you do have to raise your voice a little to carry a conversation, so that's what knocked the one star off. Overall, enjoyed it and will be returning!

Food: Quality was great! We came for the Hainan Chicken after hearing about the place from a friend…read moreand indeed it was really good. We also had the flavored rice that comes with Hainan Chicken and it was quite good, but a little less flavorful than some other places. We inquired whether there was soup since we had ordered half a chicken instead of a set, and they very generously gave us two bowls. The soup was great! As a soup lover, it definitely had great flavor and had a home-cooked flavor, the feeling that it had been cooked for hours and good ingredients, including goji berries. We decided to be adventurous and tried the vegetables with cheese and it was alright, nothing special to write home about. I would have been a bit happier with regular vegetables, but you live and you learn. They also have a very extensive menu with a wide variety of dishes, including Western dishes and soup-vide dishes. The variety of dishes meant that there were families that seemed to live in the area that went to eat there, and groups of 20-somethings who went to have different platters or steak and fries. Service: The staff were very friendly. It felt like it was a family-run restaurant. They provided great suggestions, weren't pushy, and were very friendly. Environment: It's a simple environment with no frills, but it was clean and does its job. Would I return? Yes!

It has been such an amazing experience visiting families in Hong Kong and my Uncle who is a teacher…read morethere did some research and decided on this place after reading some good reviews and it did not disappoint! Everything was absolutely stunning! From the atmosphere to the food to the quality of the food. We loved it. We got the dinner for 4 when there was 5 of us but my son is only 9 so he doesn't really eat much. Plus it was more than enough food for the 5 of us. Especially in Hong Kong, if you're still hungry, you can always save some room for some Chinese traditional dessert too. So this meal for 4 was perfect for the 5 of us. We got to choose 3 appetizers so we got the truffle fries with parmesan cheese, mango shrimp salad and salted egg calamari. Entree we get to choose 2 so we picked the Salmon Wellington and Sirloin steak with purple potatoes. Pasta we can also picked 2 which was the seafood risotto and spaghetti with giant prawns. We also got half a dozen of raw oysters for appetizers and the meal came with some desserts. Everything was phenomenal. It was a bit pricey bc we paid around $1800 and the service could be better. You want to serve as an upscale Italian restaurant then you also have to provide a little more better service. I understand that it is not easy but with such a beautiful atmosphere and such phenomenal food, wouldn't you WANT to differentiate yourself by giving a little more better service? That's the reason why I took a star away. I didn't mind paying $1800 at all but I would have happily given a full 5 star is the staff had given a better experience. Other than that, the food, the atmosphere was absolutely stunning!

With the crop of thoughtfully designed cafes popping up within the Kwun Tong factory scene, I'm…read moresuper excited to try this cafe, which is nestled within a factory building on a busy street. It's not too hard to find, as there are plenty of signage leading from the front of the industrial looking building. After a short flight of stairs, you turn into the well decorated, comfortable interior of the cafe that's a nice escape from the hustle and bustle outside. On the weekday afternoon I was there, the place was packed with people on their lunch break from their offices. Nevertheless, I was able to get a table. The place was well lit, with a clean design that feels quite comfortable even when it's packed. I ordered the lunch set, which comes with soup (cream of mushroom), garlic bread, an entree of your choice and a drink (ranges from ~HKD 60 - 120ish, which isn't bad at all!) I also really appreciated that they had a designated healthy entree option (with the number of calories listed), since I'm trying to eat healthy. The mushroom soup was decent and tastes homemade, although could be a little thicker in my opinion. I got the healthy entree option, which is brown rice with grilled chicken and an okra salad. The okra gave the salad such a nice refreshing touch in terms of novelty, and was well dressed. Chicken could be a tad bit more juicy but had the delicious grilled flavor, and I enjoyed the sesame-based sauce on it - plus I actually felt super healthy eating it! Overall, a nice, affordable spot for a meal in a comfortable space! Excited to see how the restaurant scene blossoms in the future in this area. PS: they're currently running a promotion that gives you discounts if you have the number 6 on your HKID card (6 being similar in pronunciation as the word deer in Cantonese), as well as if you interact with their Facebook page.

Overall, it was a very dissapointing meal. I won't go back.

The pizza was actually quite good. We ordered La Reine, which is ham, cheese and 4 very sad-looking olives. The other pizza options are: pepperoni, 3 other vegetarian options, and shrimp +$25. We ordered Spaghetti Carbonara, and it's super super salty and creamy. It's just ok.

The chicken was tender and I really appreciated the sauce to rice ratio. I liked how there was enough sauce to cover the rice, chicken, and accompanying veggies. The rice was also quite interesting because it was slightly more "chewy" than your typical rice dish. The decor is also kinda cute but overall the restaurant is more casual. You could opt for soup and salad with just 30 more HKD. Service was alright and definitely could be better but the food makes up for it so I still see myself coming back if I'm in the Kwun Tong area!
