Had a horrible dining experience here. I was visiting hongkong from Canada with 2 friends and was…read moreexploring the area. 1 of the friends was having dinner with her dad at Angelini so me and my other friend were exploring the area. My friends dad then invited us to dinner too so we ended up going up there.. I got to the table and a female employee came up to my friends dad and told him that there was a dress code and rudely pointed out that I was wearing shorts. She then bluntly stated that she would "let this time pass". Then the food came out. My friends dad ordered a salad which was very plain and the dressing was bland. He also ordered a seafood pasta which was well under seasoned. I ordered the squid ink cannelloni which was decent. The filling was a little too rich and but the cannelloni pasta was good. For the female employee making this place sound so fancy and the high price, the food sure proved it wasn't.

Motorino is hands down my favorite pizza restaurant…read more I've been to multiple locations of Motorino, both in HK and NYC, and it's always consistent. A little expensive for pizza, but since I do not eat it often, I think it's well worth it. The brussel sprout pizza is my favorite, and unique (I've never seen it at another pizza place). I'm also into any pizza with prosciutto now it. Make sure to save room for dessert - the cheesecake is fantastic.

Motorino of Blacksheep Restaurants has been our go-to for pizzas close to home in Hong Kong…read more Serving Neapolitan style pizzas, these have pleased our NY tastebuds or cravings for pizzas here. Having been there multiple times, I was a bit surprised when on this recent visit is when they handed us a stamped loyalty card. I asked our sweet server if this was something new and she said no. I asked her why they didn't inform us of that on our previous visits and she, of course, didn't have an answer, but politely mentioned she's seen us before and that's why she gave it to us. The pizzas are good. They've added cocktails recently here, I reckon. Their menu keeps changing. The one time we had antipasti there - smoked eggplant, my jaw was on the floor with the price to portion size proportion, more because the taste disappointed as well. But the good news is that their pizzas don't disappoint. As with other Blacksheep Restaurants, they have the friendliest of staff. Pictures on the blog - thevegetarianvoyager

This little convenience soup shop is one of my must visits every time I'm back in Hong Kong. They…read morehave locations all over the city, and I absolutely love their Cantonese style soups (老火湯). So comforting and full of flavor. They offer lots of varieties, but my personal favorites are the 杏汁花膠豬肺湯 and 竹絲雞湯. The soups are pre-made, and they'll heat them up for you so you can enjoy them right away. Aside from soups, they also serve herbal drinks and fish siu mai (魚肉燒賣), which make a perfect quick snack. Pro tip: buy their coupon card -- it's a great way to save some money if you plan to visit more than once which I always do!

I was excited to try Carbone's Hong Kong location since my whole family love to go to their NYC…read morelocation. Luckily it was much easier to reserve a table in Hong Kong than the one in NYC. First off it was kind of hiding inside a commercial building. It required an uphill climb before reaching there. If you are planning to take your elderly friends or parents, I strongly encouraged taking a taxi there. We were greeted by a friendly hostess as soon as we stepped out of the elevator. The whole place was elegant and tasteful arts were hanging on the walls throughout the whole dinning room. It was lavishly decorated. The staffs were attentive and friendly. However I found it funny that the majority of the staffs only spoke English. It was kind of ironic that we had to speak English in a Cantonese speaking island. Of course we had to order Caesar Salad and Spicy Rigatoni because they are the two popular dishes at Carbon. Caesar salad was made in front of you and the waiter told us he flown to their NYC location to master the skill of making this salad. I was ensured everything was as good as their NYC location. The salad was fresh and crunchy; it was a combination of Baby Romaine lettuce, garlicky croutons and shaved cheese tossed in a rich tangy creamy dressing. Every bite was covered with a right amount of freshly made flavorful dressing. The mouth watering Spicy Rigatoni was so irresistible. The creamy spicy tomato sauce blended beautifully with the pasta. It was so delicious and addictive. I would not leave Carbon without eating its Spicy Rigatoni. We also tried the Veal Parmesan but it was kind of a disappointment because the meat was too dry and tough. The saving grace was that it was still full of flavor. We did have a good dinning experience there. I think it is a good restaurant for a romantic dinner or special occasions. It was as pricy as their NYC location but the food wasn't as good though. I just couldn't resist to compare both places. So for all the Carbon fans, it would be nice to visit this location because you might have a different opinion about it.

Eating a meal here feels like I'm in a scene from Godfellas. The atmosphere of old school New York…read moreItalian restaurant is captured well here. The food is really quite good and the service is also excellent as well. The pricing is where your eyes will jump out of your head. An order of meatballs will set you back 268 hkd and a side of broccoli over 130 hkd. The food is good but it's tough to stomach the price tag if you aren't here on a business meal. Food: 4.25 stars Service/atmosphere: 4.5 stars Value: 3 stars Overall: 4 stars Recommendations: bananas a la rum, rib eye Diana, baked clams, vodka sauce rigatoni On my latest visit to Carbone, I came for the set lunch. It's enough for two people but if you are really hungry you may want to order another appetizer. The set comes with your choice of a starter or pasta, a main, and a choice for dessert. We opted for the rigatoni with vodka sauce, the ribeye and bananas a la rum. 1) Rigatoni with vodka sauce- coming to a American Italian restaurant and not ordering this seemed like a shame. Good thing is that the dish is down well. The vodka sauce is nice and creamy and the pasta is cooked well and had a little bite to it. 2) Rib eye Diane - The rib eye is cooked and served in a really luscious mushroom sauce. The sauce really makes the dish. The steak itself was slightly a bit tough and had a few cuts with too much fat. However, I did really enjoy this dish. 3) Bananas a la rum- my favorite thing I had. Bananas are flambéd in a rum sauce and then poured over three scoops of ice cream and cake. Vanilla cookies are crumbled over the dessert to provide some texture and crunch for the dessert. This is really delicious and is a must order.

Even it was full, the receptionist was able to give us a very comfortable and big table even we were just 5. They right away offered us a Bottle of processco. Although I dont drink alcohol, I really appreciated them for offering my friends a bottle of Procesco so we could be able to have a great Birthday and Farewell Celebration for our friends. To describe our dining experience in one word, I would say Awesome. 5 star isnt enough to rate their service. Az was the one who served our table together with Tammy. Both of them were excellent! They really could not have been better. We relied on their suggestions for the food choices and there was no regrets. Each dishes, from starters to desserts were absolutely perfect. before the food arrived, we were all chatting but after we had the first bite of the starter, our table should have been the most quiet table in the restaurant, we were all focused on how delicious the food were. I even ordered an extra round of Tiramisu out of the set menu we ordered, The tiramisu, is just WOW, The cream on the top until the buttom, made me want to order an extra one even I was already full. I'll highly recommend this restaurant especially to my friends who are Pasta Lovers. I could say Best pasta i've tasted ever and very GREAT service from the staffs especially AZ and Tammy. will surely be back soon with more and more friends. Also would like to thank them for the surprise Birthday Song for my friend.

If that wasn't like that I'm totally giving this place a five cause the quality was WONDERFUL! From service to food, everything (ofcourse except the clams lol)! First came in and greeting was nice, I love their staffs all friendly and helpful. Also when I was looking around (not too obviously I hope) and staff immediately approached me and helped me! That's quality customer service right there even if a customer didn't ask but you know right away to help. Anywaysss FOOD. Great food! The buffet salad bar is worth the price already! Great salads and great dressings to choose. They even have smoked salmon and seafood salad! Amazed. This is actually better than food in America lol... The main course was nice too. Something similar to what I've had in a restaurant in Seattle. But the clams was not as fresh and big and sadly one of the clams has so much sand I can't even "wash it out" and eat it. There are at least 3 clams with sand but it wasn't bad so I was like, well, just rise it off and it's fine, but that one clam makes me wonder if they ever cleaned the clams. Sadddd cause the pasta was pretty good and the sauce was a bit spicy yet garlic-y and fresh. Dessert: Not too many options but THAT CREME BRULEÉ THO. Best / one of the best one ever had. Creamy yet eggy. Well balanced and lots of vanilla bean in it, not vanilla extract!!! The real stuff! Others are just fruits and one cheese cake and one Apple cake, the might change different things for dessert daily? Not sure about it but again THAT BRULEE is No. 1 reason I'm coming back for lunch lol Overall, I would definitely recommended to all! I'm actually planning to come for another lunch or dinner. The price is decent for the quality of food! YES! Come here for a decent Western style lunch/dinner!

I had the ribeye and it's cooked perfectly. It's very fatty, though. My coworkers that got the same didn't like it as much. 3.5/5 Ok selection in the buffet table. Smoked salmon, cured meat, plenty of salad, nuts, bread, and deserts. 4/5. I wish there's some hot food tho. Also, the table is relatively small so when people are taking their time to get the food, other people have to wait til they finished so there's always a queue, which is pretty awkward. Didn't get the drinks but the bar looks good so it's something to try next time. Had the lemon tea for after meal beverage and it was alright.
