Because we had someone gluten intolerant in our party we chose somewhere relatively easy to…read morenavigate on our first night in HK. The staff were lovely, decor was nice and the food was ok but nothing to rave home about. The waitress was especially helpful about checking if things were gluten free, something we had warned was a rarity in this part of the world. Over all if you're looking for something western and familiar with mid-range priced food that is pretty ok, then check this place out.

I went to this Outback branch a while ago but I remember it being worth a good review. Even though…read morethe space isn't great - lacking decoration and a little too dark, the food was amazing. As it was packed we were seated at a table on one of the corners, facing the street. It was a nice spot, but the air con was full-on and it felt a little uncomfortable. Even though I wasn't in the mood for a steak, I wasn't going to order a salad, not at a steakhouse, so I made up my mind and went for the NY Strip with two sides: sweet potatoes and veggies. My friend ordered the burger with cheese and bacon. I think I made a much better choice than he did. His burger was excellent, the meat cooked to the perfect point, but my combo couldn't get any better: big portion, juicy meat, with just the saltiness I like, bread served on the side, and even got a salad...! You can pick either peppercorn or mushroom sauce but I asked the waiter not to add any sauce so that I could taste the meat properly. There were no leftovers on my plate. The sweet potatoes and veggies were the best companion to the meat but you can also pick fries or coleslaw as more traditional sides for the steak. The main takeaway is that meat was excellent in my opinion AND the combo of salad, bread, and the two sides made it for a filling dinner at a very reasonable price.

I went here with a Japanese friend who's also from Osaka. He's generally happy with the food and he…read moresaid the price is similar to what he used to have in Japan, except it's slightly more expensive in a hk. Anyways, you must reserve a table much earlier coz it's super crowded and walk in is almost impossible. Food was great and we had a great time there. The only thing was that we only had 1.5hours for the BBQ and we found it not enough. We still wanna eat more but didn't have much time... anyways, I recommend this place to people who wanna have authentic Osaka BBQ experience.

I like this place better than it's North Point counterpart although I'm probably a little biased…read moresince it's so close to my apartment. However, I do think the layout is better, and it's table service and not that weird thing where you order and then sit but then you can't because people do it the other way around thing. Basically, it's objectively and subjectively better. You basically get the same wings deal but without all the awkwardness. Oh yeah, they have 3 dollars wings on Tuesdays-my raison d'etre for going to either location. They have to be in orders of six though and it is pretty no frills you just get the wings, if you want celery and ranch it's extra. I've tried most of their flavors from mild (don't bother they might as well just be naked) to their hottest (it will do the trick.) I would stick with the more 'traditional' flavors because the other ones are too sweet in my opinion. I will say their non wing options are also okay. I've had their bacon cheeseburger which is a pretty decent pick. The bacon sandwich looks huge but I've eaten it twice and I've felt like I could eat again. I will say to stay away from the shake, I had the oreo shake and aside from the cookie it didn't have much flavor.

I especially enjoy their mushroom dumpling, with a black skin made from olive pickled leaves. The soy marinated tofu is not smooth enough, and the cheung fu is on the firm side. We ordered the sweet and sour pan fried noodles. It's my first time trying it, I expected something like an orange sauce over noodles, but we were instead given a bowl of white sugar and a carafe of vinegar, and apparently this is how this dish is normally served. While the cake of noodles is crispy on the outside, it's a dense mess of soggy and mushy noodles inside. It would be better is the noodles was less cooked and better drained/dried before hitting the frying pan. Following the Chiu Chou traditional, kungfu tea is offered at the beginning and end of the meal. It's basically a very strong brew of tea in a miniature cup. As they bring only the cups instead of along with a teapot to pour at the table, the tea is not as hot as it should be. Despite the few misses, overall it's quite a nice selection of dim sum and generally good flavor.

3.5 Stars Just…read morearound the corner from Via Tokyo, a quiet cul-de-sac awaits with hidden gem eateries like cafes, dessert shops and now a Japanese yakitori bar comically named Bilibala. Why is the name comical? Well "bilibala" is supposedly what loud chatters sound like in Cantonese and thus the name is aptly suited then for a bar serving drinks and yakitori which is perfect for a night out chit chatting with friends. Some of the things we tried were: Cold Japanese Tomato with Black Truffle ($58) - the black truffle was quite aromatic while the sweet and fresh tomatoes made for a very refreshing snack. Japanese Fish Ball with Wasabi ($48) - I was pleasantly surprised by this unique combination as the chewy fish balls went perfectly with the spicy wasabi. Tamagoyaki ($58) - the tamagoyaki was well executed with the many soft layers of sweet egg. Lychee with Bacon ($32) - whoever thought of this combination of lychee with bacon is pure genius. The sweetness of the lychee balanced the saltiness of the meat perfectly. Just be careful when eating this as the lychee may still be quite hot and may burn your mouth. Ox Tongue ($40) - the ox tongue was a bit average as the tongue could be thicker and bouncier in texture but the array of sauces for the yakitori were a nice touch. Fresh Eel ($88) - Loved the crispiness of the skin and the tenderness of the eel! Tsukune ($48) - the ever classic minced chicken meatball was delicious to eat as bits of chewy cartilage had been incorporated into the meatball so it was crunchy-licious! Grilled Rice Roll ($38 each) - in 3 flavors: cod fish roe, pickled plum, and bonito flakes. The rice rolls were quite crunchy to eat while I especially liked the spiciness of the cod fish roe and the tartness of the pickled plum. Japanese Mochi with Cheese ($28) - finally we ended the night perfectly with these scrumptiously soft and chewy mochi filled with melting cheese that were just heavenly to eat. Verdict - the affordable price tags and great quality of food at Bilibala make it a great spot for happy hour with friends to eat and drink the night away.

I've held off on reviewing EA because I'm torn. While I love this place and some people I've…read moreintroduced it to have called it my 'canteen' because it's so close to where I live and the fact that I order from here all the time; the space is small and I don't know if writing more positive reviews will just make it all the harder for me to sit and order. However, they've since moved to a bigger space so I'm ok with sharing my not so secret place. I've tried almost everything on the menu and basically everything there is good. The burgers though-they have burgers with chicken, which doesn't count but are still delicious. Why come to a burger place though and not order beef? The beef here is fresh and delicious and it's cooked medium rare-medium. I only eat burgers at that level if I trust the beef to be high quality. I always get the burger here at that level. Price wise, compared to what you can get at other burger places it's just...you can't compare. While other places have a quality burger you pay-what you get here for the price is ridiculous. If you think that's subjective then they have a set for 68 bucks carry out during lunch: burger, fries, drink. It was so good that when I was home recovering from surgery I ordered it 3 days straight. Seriously, just go see for yourself.

Came here for dinner. Ordered the Mac mommy burger (grilled chicken burger). After a few bites I…read morecut the burger in half because the patty was way too big. When I opened it up I realized the entire inner burger was RAW. They cut the chicken meat into small pieces and form a patty that way. There were literally chunks of raw chicken in the center. Good thing I put a flashlight to the burger. Make sure you check your burgers before you eat them... The lady cooking should have come out and apologized for basically poisoning their customer. But nothing.

Those from 深井..... no no they are not even on the list. Even though they have other items on the menu but they are not worth mentioning. If you are here for the goose, stay with the goose or maybe try their chicken. Ordering other items are risky, I tried their drunken chicken wings and they were served right out of the fridge at 4C, so cold that they tasted like ice cubes. Draw back, it's very localized and comfortable seating does not exist. Sharing table with strangers is a must and your eating time during rush hour is limited to 45 min.! With a price tag that is 1/3 less than it's competitors, their meats do sell out fast especially on the weekends, they say they close at 10:30pm but by around 9pm everything is already gone and that's when they end their business day.

Oh my! This was probably the best darn char siu I've had ever. We accidentally stumbled into the…read moreneighborhood and I checked my bookmarked restaurants. We sat down and ordered the soy sauce braised pigeon and the char siu. The braised pigeon was good, albeit a bit small to nibble on given the cramped space at the table but hey...you're in Hong Kong. The winner was for sure the char siu. We ordered it with half fat and half lean without rice or noodles so we could stuff ourselves with more food later. The char siu comes with gailan vegetables so you don't feel that bad ordering pure meat. It was incredible. We loved the fatty cuts and the char siu was tender and not overpoweringly seasoned. Don't forget to pack your own tissues. We tucked into the pigeon with our hands and needed a few Kleenex tissues to wipe it off.
