We ordered: - Silk Road - sweet, juice-like, has an island feel. - WTF Rusty Nail - one large ice cube, smoky notes with bitter end notes. Similar to an Old Fashioned. - Smoky Lemongrass Sour - yes, smoke in a cup. End note of pineapple juice. Can't really taste the lemongrass. The guys are attentive. Bar snack was served about 8 mins after drinks are served. Overall, nice experience.

A very welcoming establishment. Gets a good mix of locals and western. Small and cosy with an excellent selection of booze. A great place to finish with a nightcap. However it has been my experience that it never ends with just one here as the vibe tends to lend itself to chatting to other patrons and a few more than intended. Overall a cool place.

Other than the oysters, they have some fried fish/chips and other shellfish, as well as a fresh seafood market (and meat also). I imagine they do a lot of takeout/cook at home business. Not a lot of seating but every time I go, we are the only 2 sitting down for our food. The owner is friendly and it's nice to stop in and enjoy a rest and tasty snack on a busy Saturday!

I came here after seeing many of Kevin L's (Yelp HK's first CM!) checkins here. And because its in…read moremy neighborhood I decided to check this place out. The things I like about this place is that the food is made to order (be prepared to wait!) and the fish seems fresh. It's a bit pricey but then again most of the stuff is imported, and i guess expat cuisine (along with prices!). I mostly like the lunch specials which is $65 for fish filets, sauce, and a drink which makes the deal not so bad. Especially with the servings. If you're not too hungry you can share it with someone else. Though the things I dislike that this place with its prices is cash only, and also it's a takeaway only joint so for those who wish to try this but don't live or work in this area, the nearest public spaces you can sit is the lower part of the escalator or there is an open space near Wo On Lane in Lan Kwai Fong.

I came to FoFo for their Sunday brunch. The brunch set will set up back 368 hkd before service…read morecharge. The set comes with an appetizer, two tapas, a main, dessert and tea or coffee. I sometimes will not be full after eating at a Spanish restaurant but that isn't the case here. My four star rating is based on the following: Food: 4 stars Environment: 5 stars Service: 3.5 stars Value: 4 stars Recommendations: 1) ham, truffle sandwich, 2) charcuterie, 3) tomato bread, 4) onsen egg w/chorizo The meal was really strong at the beginning. We had the charcuterie board and oysters for the appetizers. The cold cuts were nice and thin packed with flavor and not too salty. The tomato bread that it was paired with was really simple and delicious. I also really enjoyed the oysters. The best part of the meal was the tapas portion. They do their own version of migas where instead of chunks of potato they use crispy potato strips and replace the poached egg with an onsen egg. This disease really good and I would definitely order this again. My favorite part of the meal was the ham and truffle sandwich. I'm a sucker for black truffle and the truffle really shines through here. The cheese was melted nicely and the bread was nicely toasted. This hits all the notes I look for in a sandwich. The fried white bait was also good. Of the tapas this was my least favorite but it was still tasty. These little fried fishes paired really nicely with the aioli and would be a nice complement to a beer or alcoholic beverage. The mains were ok and not as good as the tapas. We had the sea bass and the pork. Of the two the sea bass was better. It had a nice crispy skin and the dill and onions paired nicely. The sauce it came with I didn't like too much. Next time I think I will pay the extra 40 hkd to upgrade to the beef. We had the lemon parfait and the churros for dessert and both were pretty good but not great. I was a bit disappointed with the churros. They didn't come out hot and weren't as crispy as I would like. The chocolate sauce it came with was good and helped make up for the churro. The lemon parfait was different from what I expected. It was more like a lemon cake. It was nice and tart and the cookie crumbs it came with gave a nice sweetness and crunch to contrast the texture of the parfait. All in all I would definitely come back. At a minimum for happy hour to have some tapas and cocktails.

This review is for the rooftop only, not the restaurant itself…read more The views and happy hour were what drew me. I love rooftop bars and am on an unofficial quest to visit them all. I can say that FoFo's rooftop bar is solidly...middling. The happy hour deals were middling: 30% off house wine, beer, and sangria. I tried several reds before settling instead on a glass of prosecco which better fit the warm air. The reds were fine but nothing special. The prosecco was nice; dry and light. My buddy had the red sangria, which tasted like sweet fruit punch, almost like an Xmas drink. The views were middling: from Lan Kwai Fong sweeping east across Central and Admiralty into the hills above the Zoological and Botanical Gardens. No stunning harbour views or dizzying heights, but totally enjoyable nonetheless. Perhaps improved by the surrounding office windows which become fishbowls for observation at a certain evening hour. The atmosphere was superb! Just kidding. It too was middling. There was a nice breeze blowing across the roof, but the decor was strange - it was very dark and there were little orb lamps that just hadn't been turned on. The tables and chairs seemed to be lacking something, whether they just needed a good wipe down or their matching cushions were gone. And the whole place gave off the air of being a bit forgotten and empty, parts of the bar covered in plastic wrap and only one lonely server inattentively serving because his phone was more interesting than the clientele. Not sure if I'll be back.

I'm down if it's good food! Located in a residential area, I wasn't really expecting too much honestly. But I heard good word about it so why not give it a shot? Wow, for a neighborhood restaurant, this place was bomb! I had some dishes where I never had elsewhere before! We started with the fried pomfret salad. I love the fried fish, juicy, tender and mildly sweet. I wasn't a fan of the salad dressing though. It was like the thousand island from a bottle from the grocery aisle. I wish they make a good dressing. My favorite plate-licking dish was the shrimp angel hair with pumpkin sauce. Pumpkin sauce!? Large, succulent and crunchy shrimp with fresh shredded veggies mixed in sweet and buttery pumpkin sauce. How can you not like that? The flavors were really good and I was going bite after bite until I finished it without even knowing! My second fav was the crispy chicken with apricots and honey mustard sauce served on on a plate of spaghetti and veggies. Honey mustard is my favorite, and to combine that with crispy chicken? What a great idea! The chicken came out crispy and hot and the meat was tender and juicy. Love this dish! We wrapped up our meal with the famous chocolate souffle. Dang! That was good! Piping hot, creamy, sweet, slightly crispy on the outside and fluffy inside like a snowball! We got the vanilla flavor too but I liked the chocolate one better. The lady owner was there last night and she was bubbly and socializing with all the customers. Friendly and good service overall. Seating was a bit tight so make sure you make a reservation ahead of time or come early. Not only Asians come here, I saw a couple of westerners too enjoying not so authentic but delicious western food!

Amy's Kitchen may just be the pinnacle of HK cafe food, which is somewhat of a blanket label I put…read moreon HK fusion food. In the states, I tend to think of it as crazy baked spaghetti or baked rice with a porkchop or steak plopped otop. In the same way, Amy's Kitchen delivers. On their menu you will find some of their signature dishes like roast chicken stuffed with apricot over pasta and a mustard cream sauce, or a piece of pan seared foie gras over squid ink pasta. The food is a bit pricier than other local more traditional restaurants, but Amy's has something none of the others have. Amy's trump card comes in the form of a desert: their eggy, delicious souffles. Warning: Each of these serve two people, go solo on this desert at your own risk.

Delicious sangria by the pitcher - full or half - with over 30 flavours sure to please. Some notables are the lychee, chocolate, and piña colada. I've also really enjoyed their Hot Ginger martini. Great for a cooler evening when the wind is blowing. Speaking of wind, ask for a shawl if you're cool. They're on the 18th floor, and it does get breezy up there, so take advantage of the house-provided scarves to keep the chill at bay. Prices can be a bit high and on evenings to sit outside there is a minimum $180/head drink order. Still, it's not hard to spend that, and I'd say it's worth it.

I wrote a lot in my check-in here recently and must say how thoroughly disappointed I am by their…read morenew "laws" on minimum spend. So: $180 for bar and $300 something for food, per person. If you order food at bar, that doesn't count towards your $180 minimum spend. Now, I never thought I was a cheap person but when I'm being told that I can't sit outside in a free low dinner table because I opted for the "bar" table minimum spend, that makes me a little angry. Especially when it was violently windy and almost impossible to sit on the bar tables facing the harbour. I Went here with my friends because we had a friend visiting Hong Kong for a few days and I thought it would be a nice relaxed evening admiring the view and drinking sangria. Yeah we covered the minimum charge but it was thoroughly annoying to be told in an offhand remark, as I ordered a snack of croquettes, that those croquettes would "not be covered in your minimum spend". How am I meant to enjoy my night when I'm being reminded about money? We literally had to calculate whether or not our two jugs of sangria, 7 shots of tequila and own personal drinks covered the minimum spend. Also I noticed they upped the price of their sangria jugs. They used to be max $300 now they're around $480+ and you still only get a meagre 8 short cups. The croquettes were fine, overpriced sticks of gooey crumbed cheese. We hated the vibe so after achieving our minimum charge (LOL) we went for KBBQ just down the road. Not returning anytime soon.
