I was a bit thrown off by the char siu... thought I ordered the new kind for my husband and son but turns out it was the same. So the menu was a bit confusing. The gyoza in black garlic oil is great.

There is a counter up front and tables in the back suitable for larger groups. I had stopped by earlier in the week with a vegetarian colleague and was told they had no vegetarian options so be aware of that (no issue for me). They have ordering online by scanning a QR code and it was easy enough to navigate; a server was helpful in making a few recommendations before I confirmed my order. The ramen came out quickly (it was early on a week night, so not busy). I had a BBQ pork option and it was good, though not as good as ramen that I have had stateside. I paid a small premium for extra noodles, but they came on a side plate so were somewhat dry and not as enjoyable as the main dish. Prices were quite reasonable, so if you are craving ramen I would say Ippudo is worth a try.

This place gets pretty busy during lunch time, I came here around 11:30am and there was already a…read morequeue. Good thing they have good service - you can read their menu ahead of time and order right away once you are seated. And the menu is only a small selection - choose a ramen base, toppings, thickness of noodles. I chose the black squid version, with thick noodles. The broth overall is very strong and thick. A lot of flavours hitting the palette. The noodles were done to the right level. Inside the restaurant is very small, probably around 15-20 people. Pricing wise was around $15 CDN.

It was kind of hard to find but pay attention, look around the street and you'll find it…read more Black King ramen was squid ink broth, which was salty and fishy, but they did not skimp on the squid ink! Even the ground meat was covered in squid ink! This was a really good ramen, even if I did feel kinda thirsty afterwards. The noodles were Chinese rather than the Japanese ramen, which was ok, but it would really be better if they had the latter! The pork belly was so fat and thinly cut though, oh my gosh. You could add pickled radishes and veggies from little jars on your table (one was spicy and the other was very salty)-- both were delicious. You share that as well as any more spicy seasoning and communal water. My bf got the Red King and it wasn't as spicy as he thought it would be, and it is more chili oil than actual chili powder. His soup was salty as well. I quite like this place for its novelty ramen. If you know what you like, you can also customize your ramen!

I think the quality has gone down a bit since it first opened. Worth coming here for the lunch set which is between 78-100 hkd depending on if you do the appetizer plate or not. Don't expect any real type of service other than the staff taking your order and bringing out your food. When it gets busy you will also have to flag down the staff to get some service.

Truly one of the better seafood restaurants in Sai Kung. But, be warned, it is very expensive…read more The first thing to know is that Loaf On is not one of those touristy spots on the water. There isn't a pretty view of the sea. Instead, you will walk up two flights of very narrow stairs to a pleasant dining area and excellent service. The walls are decorated with their Michelin one star awards over the years, which is an accomplishment. My wife and I came for lunch. The set price lunches have a lot of food, but cost just under $3000 for two. I didn't need a banquet. So, I skipped that. Instead, we shared fried tofu as an appetizer. It was hot, creamy and light. Definitely the right choice. Then we shared grouper prepared two ways as the second course. A wise decision. It was delicious, had contrast, and emphasized the fresh fish flavor. That cost $880, but well worth it. Much better than the seafood places nearby.

The food is cooked well, nothing fancy but like…read morewhat a good homecook can do - however it costs way more even compared to neighboring restaurants. I'm guessing because we're paying for the Michelin Star, and the cleaner, inside, tableclothed setting. I can attest they also have clean washrooms! I have to dock a star though because of all the nickel and diming they do even after charging more for their dishes (e.g. higher tea charge at HKD $18/pp but at least they exempted my toddler, another HKD $10 for providing 2 wet naps, for market priced dishes they charge not by dish for prep but by number of people at the table, etc). The server also gave my mom some attitude when she asked to see the Mantis Shrimp we ordered live before cooking (which is usual for Chinese restaurants to check the freshness and size), and said bluntly that they're already cooking it. We came to try how they do their Mantis Shrimp so that was the star of our lunch. We had it prepped fried with garlic, pepper, salt. My hubby liked the natural sweetness in the meat. I found it just OK. We ordered the Fried Tofu with Chili and Garlic that others seem to enjoy, again hubby liked it, I found it OK. It came on a pile of orange rice crisps that had no flavor and added nothing to the dish. Our last dish was the Braised Pork Belly with Pickled Vegetables which was pretty good with ample meat that was very filling. My favorite of the 3 dishes. For a restaurant located on Sai Kung's Seafood Street, its also interesting that they're famous for their Crispy Skin Chicken, which you have to reserve in advance or you're out of luck if you try to order it there. We did not reserve ahead... :/ When looking for the restaurant, note that they are on a street not overlooking the waters and have no fishtank display outside to show you their fresh produce like their neighbors. So keep an eye out for their signage. Their dining area is up a flight of narrow stairs but I think they might have a table or 2 on the street level though I didn't get to see since they directed us upstairs though an outside entrance. Service wise, at least they carried our stroller up for us.

Bingsu is Korean milky shaved ice and although none here are comparable to the best Bingsu which is Homilpat in Seoul, this place comes pretty close! The Bingsu here is similar in texture to Hanbing in Harbour Plaza, but the sizes are bigger and and you get much more for the same price! The texture of the ice is what determines a good Bingsu and the shaved ice here is pretty soft, although not the snow like fluffy texture in Korea. You have to mix the ice as well as the ice is not made from milk and they just use condensed milk on top so if you don't mix it only the top will have flavor and the bottom will just taste like flavorless ice aka frozen water. My favorite bingsu flavors here are the mango and green tea. The green tea comes with a scoop of matcha ice cream and some red bean. The mango comes with a scoop of mango sorbet and mango sauce which kinda overpowers the natural mango flavor with an artificial one. The melon one is okay too and comes in a carved out honeydew and topped with a melon bar Popsicle. The food here looks pretty good as well and I will have to try it sometime!

We had to wait for 30 minutes to get in and I was starving but I guess the wait is worth it. There are quite a few things on the street below the restaurant so if you're impatient, you could walk around for a bit. The place is quite popular for young people. There were many friend groups and couples eating there. Everyone was sat quite closely together because the place wasn't big but I didn't mind that - it just added to the hub bub of the place! We ordered the Alien Tteokbokki, one of their most unique dishes, for the main dish. For drinks, I ordered the Chocolate Oreo slush and my friend got the Blue Lime Lemon Rita, a beer infused slush. Alien Tteokbokki (288 HKD): Deep fried squid on a ramen and tteokbokki base. very unique plating; taste was good but not special. They had 4 things on the side that were: scrambled egg, mashed potato, beef balls, and this interesting cheese donut thing. They tasted not bad, but were definitely very processed. Chocolate Oreo slush (53 HKD): oh my god this was so good. Quite pricey, but it was a really nice chocolatey sweetness and the whipped cream was nice and light. Though the whipped cream may have been whipped a bit too long as the texture was a bit grainy. Blue Lime Lemon Rita (88 HKD): really quite good - a sweet, tropical flavoured slush with a Corona beer stuck in the slush by a clamp. Presentation was very cool. You couldn't really taste the Corona until the end, but even then, it was only 3% alcohol content. Pricey but definitely recommend the Rita. Every table seemed to have a version of it. Their sweets/desserts and drinks are definitely their unique dishes. There was this Melona Shaved Ice that looked absolutely scrumptious, as well as a variety of other shaved ices. Overall, if you come here, I'd recommend trying their more unique things like the Ritas rather than the more "normal" dishes that you could find elsewhere. They may be yummy, but for such a long wait, definitely try one of the many cool things here!

They have pretty much every kind of meat you could think of between the pork and all of the body parts (including intestines), chicken, beef, and duck. Although mostly average on taste, I thought their food was a good value. It was $34 for a plate of chicken over rice and a soup (can be swapped for a can of soda). One of my favorite parts was the peanuts that came with the dish. Yummy, yummy. I wouldn't go out of my way to come to Jordan for this restaurant, but if I were already in the area then I would consider it as an alternative to the normal cha caan tengs.
