Western food! The flying pan has very reasonable prices, poor coffee, mediocre food, and good service. I ordered the salmon Benedict, Kenzie the pepper and onion Benedict. The eggs being over cooked, had a non runny yolk. I ordered sides of baked beans and corn grits which were both fine. Our plates came out with the sides switched up. Not a big deal. Not bad for a western breakfast in Hong Kong. Not great either. I've had better western breakfast in Shanghai, though you would think Hong Kong being the international hub it is, would have even higher standards for western foods. Eggs Benedict: 85HK. Unlimited coffee: 35HK. Using a restaurants own WiFi to post a 2 star review about them: Priceless. read more

The Flying Pan - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Hong Kong, HK

I visited the Flying Pan for a quick breakfast before heading off to work, and first impressions were good- it's a small, but low-key place, and while the menus are a bit much to look at, the food was just right. I went with an Eggs Guacamole and a mango juice and I thought it was all pretty awesome overall. The food isn't overly expensive, you get fairly generous portions, and they definitely don't skimp on your free sides. The potatoes were a tad dry and I probably wouldn't go with them the next time around, but their grits aren't half bad. Hollandaise sauce is thick, yet runny, and the eggs were poached perfectly. The guacamole was offered in generous portions, and the only thing that I could possibly say they weren't generous with, in terms of portion size was my juice. That's fine though. I'll definitely be back to try a few other menu items. read more

The Flying Pan - Eggs guacamole with grits and potatoes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Hong Kong, HK

If you are craving a big American breakfast (big omelets, waffles, benedicts, eggs, meat, etc), this is your spot. It is a true breakfast joint! The menu has a wide variety of breakfast options, bottomless coffee, a bar and even burgers. The concept is 24 hour breakfast though and thus breakfast is the focus. Servings are large by Hong Kong standards and prices range roughly between $70HKD-$100+ per breakfast entree. It is centrally located, open 24 hours (serving a gaggle of over served customers between 1am-4am most likely) and as such, the establishment has the feel that it might be well served with being doused with clorox and needs a good scrubbing. Tabletops are clean and things are organized, but it has the vibe of one of those breakfast holes you would find in a college town that just serves a high volume of people and is never clean enough and a touch warn. I am a bit of a germ phob and have had to dispell most of my "museum corners" concepts of clean here in Hong Kong, thus the 3 rating for this establishment. The food was good though and I actually enjoyed being there before 9AM on a Sunday when there was no patrons and it was peaceful (read the paper, have a garden omelet, drink coffee). This place probably gets busy during normal breakfast/brunch hours on a weekend. Staff was welcoming and friendly. Even though only giving it 3 star, I would probably go back, if hankering for a good solid breakfast. read more

Ever feel like you are starving so bad after partying all night in LKF but the last place you want to go is McDonald? Here is an alternative for you all - The Flying Pan. Since this place is open 24 hours a day, you have no idea how thankful party-goers are as it has now become the most famous post-clubbing destination. You can easily spot this place from afar as it has blue walls and blue and white tile floors; and its logo is an egg on a flying pan (so self-explanatory). Once you walk in, you will feel like you just walk in a 1950's diner (or a blue version of the diner on 2 Broke girls) filled with funky table tops and paintings. I strongly recommend sitting at the booth if it is possible and I will explain later. Most people come for the all-day English Breakfast here and there are quite a lot of choices including Pancakes, French toast, Bagels, Egg Benedict, etc. However, I have tried better egg Benedict somewhere else before so I will skip that here. Instead, I recommend the English breakfast set and you can choose - toast, salad, beans, sausage, potatoes, veggies and the like. The food does not take too long to be ready and you will be surprised how big the plate and the portion is. That's why I said sitting in a booth would work better as it is very difficult to have your plate and drink on the bar table. Make sure you do not order too much or you will have a hard time finishing them all. As for the drinks, they have a variety of drinks like smoothies, milkshakes, beers, spirits or juice. I prefer the milkshakes personally and feel free to let me know which flavor you like the best. The service is all right but do not expect too much as it is sort of fast-food-like still. read more

The Flying Pan - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Hong Kong, HK

I was at the Flying pan during weekend for a late lunch. I figured this place being so popular and has such a big noticeable sign from the bridge, I would give it a try. The place was busy but the customer flow went by very fast. I was seated very soon with a bar facing seat. But soon I asked for a proper table that got recent available, which I was granted. They rushed to take my order fast as they probably assumed me as a regular returning customer. I have to say the menu was very complicated. They offer a service similar to the Hk style cafe which is fast and efficient. However, if the menu have less customization but just list out as many combinations as possible, it would have been easier for the customer. The food was so so. And coffee tasted so so as well. I am not a good cook, although I can make good coffee. But comparing the food quality to what I am capable to make, I think I could make better breakfast. The food required little skill to prepare and the coffee was just standard drips. However, I could see this restaurant having a successful model. Cheap, fast, simple. All day breakfast, 24 hours a day. This would be nice for tourists who found Asian food too foreign and would love a simple comforting touch of western food. Even if you just stepped off the plane and arrived to Hong Kong, this place still over you a good breakfast to welcome you to this city. In summary, good place for tourist. 24 hours all day breakfast is a great option to the local neighborhood. Also offer a cheap alternative of western food in the region. Cheap, fast and simple. I might come here again in the future, when I feel lazy to make my own. read more

The Flying Pan - Frying pan - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Hong Kong, HK

I'll admit - I'm not a huge fan of the whole 'breakfast all meals and every meals!' fad. To begin with, I don't really like breakfast food that much. I don't really like bread, and I'm iffy about egg - it depends on how it's cooked. Anyway, I'd heard many good things about The Flying Pan and when one of my friends brought it up, we both said we'd never been so we decided to try it out. We got there at around 7:30 and the place was surprisingly empty. The restaurant was less than half filled, and it was really quiet. The decor of the restaurant looked quite like an American diner with the bar stools and the blue-tiles tables (though they kind of reminded me of bathroom tiles...). They had a HUGE menu - I don't mean physically, but there were so many options! My friend and I spent about 10 minutes deciding what to eat and eventually I settled on the eggs guacamole with avocado and salsa. I got the set meal so for the drink, I picked orange juice. The food arrived within 10 minutes and to my surprise, I actually quite liked it. The egg was cooked to perfection and was just the right amount of runny. The avocado was really soft and tasted very fresh - I can't stand avocados that are hard because they haven't ripened, so I was really glad that it wasn't the case. Like I said, I don't really like bread, so I didn't love or hate the slightly toasted buns. Overall, I was impressed - but the portion is TINY! I finished this in about fifteen minutes flat, and I'm not a fast eater at all. I was still hungry after it and I felt like I could eat at least half of another portion! I liked the food - I really did - but for such a tiny portion, and at $74 for the set meal, I didn't think it was worth the money. I could make this at home for less than a third of the price. Poaching those eggs to perfection might be impossible, though, but you get my point. Overall, good food, tiny portions, unreasonable prices. read more

The Flying Pan - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Hong Kong, HK

This is the place for breakfast if you're a hungry American looking for something other that pastries, noodles or McDonald's in the morning. The coffee is fresh brewed and not instant and for $37HKD is bottomless. The menu has every conceivable arrangement for eggs and pancakes. Oh and did I mention they give you napkins? The portions are good sized, they offer milkshakes for the adults (nothing like a little bourbon in the morning). The service is quick, friendly and the servers speak English very well. We stopped here because of positive Yelp reviews and the members did not disappoint. Plus they have free WiFi so that you write positive reviews while you have you're 5th cup of coffee. read more

While staying in Hong Kong this past summer for three nights, my fiancee and I found ourselves at The Flying Pan for breakfast each morning. The main reason why? The food and prices were both great! We had no complaints about the delicious food that was served to us, the coffee that was poured for us, and the bill that was given to us that wasn't too high considering it's a restaurant in a prime area of the city. Whether you're a resident of Hong Kong or just visiting for business or pleasure, I highly recommend checking out The Flying Pan for a delicious breakfast at a nice price. A bottomless coffee pot with bacon and eggs is always a good thing to start your day. read more

This is the worst breakfast I have ever had in my life, American breakfast or not. It seemed everything came out of a trash can. Hollandaise.sauce had a weird off smell. I am glad i haven't got sick. Maybe if you stick to toast you are safe there. There is a coffeeshop across the street. Wish I had gone there instead. read more

Presentation is better than the flavor. I came here because of the Yelp pictures that looked lovely. The pros: Wifi Large portions of familiar Western food Open 24 hours The cons: Everything is overpowered by the strong unpleasant smell of synthetic butter. The fake butter smell was so revolting that I was looking around for rotting yogurt or sour cream. My dish would have tasted much better if it had been made with real butter. Also everything needed a little salt. Wouldn't return unless they start using real butter. I ordered the Eggs Maharaja. It was a variation of eggs Benedict. read more

My go to place when I want/need bottomless coffee with my breakfast. I've been here many times with Eddie and a few other friends over time. It is right around the corner from where Eddie and I stayed for a while (Chancery Lane) and not too far from where we live now. Breakfast is good, American style, it is open 24 hours and you can't beat the location. Service is not bad, language is always a bit of a challenge, I got my Chinese sign language down pretty good. If you want peanut butter with your breakfast toast it is an extra $15 wow. I will no doubt be back, not because it is the best but simply because the food looks familiar to home and it is kind of funky place to dine. read more

This is another post-party destination because its open 24 hours a day, and also close by to the 'fong (aka Lan Kwai Fong) so it's easy to get too. Also because there is all day breakfast, so theres no shame in getting up after midday after a big night and still having a western breakfast. read more

No frills, you get exactly what you order and it is fairly quick. The bottomless coffee is great, because one needs a whole pot to feel like they have had a regular cup of American joe. Menu is in English and there are more choices/combos than you can imagine. Staff is friendly and very quiet. Mostly full of English speakers working on their laptops (free wifi) or having a meeting with coworkers. Good, easy breakfast and the flying pan clock is cool. read more

Decent stop for a big American breakfast. We went in about 6am, had to wait quite awhile for a kitchen cleaning in progress. Our plates were huge, and good food, although my waffle was cold and lacked flavor. The location and atmosphere screamed late night stop after a night of partying, but overall a good stop for what we wanted. Bottomless coffee a plus. read more

this place is done up all like a retro american diner, complete with blue tiled walls reminiscent of the '50s. the menus a little crinkled and grimey, but the choices are firm breakfast classics - all variations of eggs with an infinite permutation of sides - and it's served up without fanfare. quite comforting, and nothing fanciful - the bread is buttered and properly-toasted, the beans are out a can, and eggs are poached just right. read more

The Flying Pan - eggs ben with salmon on muffins - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Hong Kong, HK

Great food at a great price. Bacon was nice and crispy. French toast was the best I've ever had. It wasn't too sweet and had a light crunch. Blueberry syrup wasn't too sweet but perfect. They mixed mango and pineapple juice for and it was the first time I've ever tasted the mix and it was awesome! Hands down, probably the best place for breakfast in HK. I will definitely return. read more

The Flying Pan - I had a waffle, a pancake, french toast (OFF THE CHAIN!!!), eggs, bacon, ham, and a sausage patty. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Hong Kong, HK

24 hour breakfast?! Yes, please! The portions are American-sized, the insideout grilled cheese BLT really blessed me today. Prices are reasonable, menu huge, house white wine was terrible, but why did I order it?! My mistake. Food came out quick and they were playing Whitney Houston, so it was a major win. I'll be back. read more

I've sadly been here a few times (for breakfast/brunch and take away on the way to work) when I was new to HK and naive - and always ended up regretting my decision. How hard is it not to mess up something like eggs? Everything is greasy (yes even the eggs!) and overall quality isn't good at all. I wouldn't recommend it and would actually recommend against it. read more

Right before coming to this cute little brunch spot, I got caught in a massive rain storm in Soho. My taxi driver dropped me off about 3 blocks too far, so I came into the restaurant soaking wet. The restaurant is really quite cramped, and I am pretty used to the cramped little restaurants in HK, but when I'm soaking wet from the rain, it was quite uncomfortable. I got a breakfast platter (pancake, bacon, eggs, ham, sausage, salad, and fruits). I loved how it was laid out on a massive white plate (very aesthetically pleasing for instagram!). Everything was solid, though nothing super memorable. I remember the pancake being the best. It was fluffy, light, and buttery, just how I like it, but there was sadly only one piece... read more

The Flying Pan - Brunch - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Hong Kong, HK

I would travel here everyday just to eat breakfast . Good service and short waiting time for food.

Great place for Americans and Westerners to grab a breakfast if they are missing home. There were 8 of us and the pancakes got rave reviews, along w the French toast. The breakfast burrito my Mom got was a disappointment but the frittata my husband got he loved. Great service and a huge menu to pick from. read more

In Korea it is so hard to find a brunch place where they have eggs Benedict. So coming to hongkong I had to get some! And this place is great. Friendly staff and the food is delicious! The sauce was a bit different, it had a fruit taste to it but meh still good. read more

The Flying Pan - Eggs benedict with potatoes and a side of bacon - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Hong Kong, HK

If you want some good value for money breakfast that's no frills this is the place to get it. It's American diner style food complete with bottomless coffee! You also can't beat the fact that it's 24 hours and the prices are pretty cheap compared with other places around town. The food quality is maybe not the best ever but you get what you pay for and their breakfast deals are pretty good. Eggs, sides, juice and a dessert all piled on to your plate! I definitely didn't leave hungry! read more

The menu is a lot similar to diners you'll find in LA. Rancheros, omelettes, toast, brunch of that sort. The price is pretty comparable to them too. The place is really small. read more

I'd dare say The Flying Pan is like the IHOP of HK. This particular venue was pretty small (in comparison to their others) and made it a bit awkward for ideal seating, but I don't expect much when in Hong Kong. Their "bar" is pretty basic and not full, but it's cool to have an alcoholic option. When we first walked in there was a weird smell as if there were a dirty mop, but we settled in and the smell just fainted in the background as food began to come out. We decided to stay after walking around looking for a pace to eat (most paces nearby are on lunch so you must wait till 5-6pm for them to reopen: The Flying Pan is 24/7!) Out of the endless options at TFP, I ordered Blueberry pancakes with chocolate sauce, scrambled eggs, and bacon. Their "small" in drinks is literally a shot glass so just pay the extra ~$10 for a large (I got cranberry). The meal was fulfilling and cooked to my liking - but nothing crazy, esp for the price. I was happy about how crispy the bacon was, and how well done my scrambled eggs were. Waiters were polite, and all the staff seemed to be working well together. Not too long of a wait time either. My bill was ~$150HKD. Note: this is your regular western breakfast, nothing special - but definitely happy to eat something familiar for brunch. read more

Food is good. My family had eggs Benedict (avocado and turkey, So Cal) and the flying pan, sides of pancakes and French toast. All said that this was exactly what they needed after a long weekend exploring the city. This place has real large and crispy pieces of bacon ( a hard find in mainland China) read more

Good standard American fare!! I ordered the corn beef and hash plate which was excellent!! I also enjoyed the musical selections of the Smiths and the Cure in the background read more

We came here because after a couple weeks of traveling in Asia, we wanted some American-style breakfast. The menu sounded great, but unfortunately the food was mediocre. The coffee is really bad too, so if I was you I would just skip it. read more

Good place for Americans to dine to slowly acclimate to the different and fascinating Chinese culture. Enjoyed a very American breakfast with decent prices. Service is patchy, but friendly. Had to tell the kitchen staff that the public restroom was out of soap. Got a good laugh over that. read more

The Flying Pan was one of the first brunch spots in Hong Kong that I went to. I recently went back with my bf for brunch. The service was fast and friendly. The menu is quite extensive, with a variety of breakfast plates to choose from. You can add on additional sides as well. We ordered a smoked salmon eggs benedict and a eggs platter with bacon and grilled tomato. Food came quickly, I would compare it with diner food in the US like Dennys. Overall, food was decent, the area is definitely not lacking of better brunch places, but The Flying Pan will be a convenient place to get breakfast food, especially since its open 24 hours. read more

Search no more for your post-bar food joint. The Flying Pan houses a HUGE menu of delicious western breakfast items inside its quaint American diner decor. It's also open 24/7... so... what else do you need? read more

We are here twice on our trip to HK. It was really good. The glasses of juice are way too small however ha ha. We'd eat here again

In a land where a 24-hour cafe is impossible to find, The Flying Pan is a great option for students to study who, for whatever reason, can't hit up HKU's 24-hour library. Food is good, milkshakes are good, staff is nice. Food comes quickly and the portions are quite big. Music is usually soft rock or something similar. read more

I would give them zero stars if I had the choice. Bad orange juice comes with breakfast. Fleas flying in your face while breakfast. You probably find eggs benedict better in any other western restuarant in Hong Kong. Seats are available cause not much people in the morning (wonder why). Avoid this restaurant if you have a choice! read more

Great at 4am on your way home but what food isn't? I would never choose to eat here at any other time, especially in an area with so many amazing restaurants. read more

This is a serviceable restaurant. The food is never bad, but never good. It is always acceptable. A coffee and an average breakfast plate costs 150 HKD, which is quite expensive considering the average quality. I sometimes go here and like that it exists, but am always looking for a better breakfast place in the mid levels. read more

I love trying new places, but every once and while you just want an always reliable staple. Great selection and attentive staff. Also the only 24hour diner in Soho always makes it an option read more

More English (beans and tomatoes) than American. Keeping in mind it's Hong Kong and (almost) SoHo, it's not bad.

To put it shortly, don't go. It's one of the only places open at 5am so I've been a couple times and it's always bad. The food is straight up garbage and so is the service. There's flies everywhere and just writing this is grossing me out so I'm done with this review and with this place. read more

Go here knowing the service will be slow and a bit awkward but the food is good! I had pancakes and my husband had eggs and toast and bacon. The coffee pricing is a bit high for bottomless though. read more
