I completely dismissed this restaurant originally when I saw the gimmicky presentations, but some dishes offer a playful interpretation. Should try: Roast Pigeon was cooked perfectly. Succulent and juicy. They offer gloves which is a fantastic idea to eat the small bird. Beef char siu was tender and had good flavor and char texture. The thyme was decorative but added a nice scent. Interesting: Mangosten fritter is more for the look but also had a nice crab lobster sauce filling. Meh: Charcoal Buns were sweet and savory but does not taste different from the traditional version Sponge Xiao Lung Biao- Normally I love this dish but the change up here did not do anything for me. I wasn't too impressed by the filling nor the skin. If you are new to or want traditional dim sum go elsewhere. Also I didn't really order from the dinner style selections. Glad I didn't because they are small portions and didn't look that novel. If you are like me and had dim sum countless number of times, it is fun to try things with a twist. The woman next to me kept admiring how the food was presented. Look for the L signage and go to the second floor. Casual clean open dining room. Not crazy about the ant decals but it feeds into the playful nature of the restaurant.

Came here the other day for lunch. I've actually seen this place around on social media so it is…read morenot like I am completely unaware of it. However, just never had the chance to come. The place is fairly large actually, at least for a second floor restaurant? While there were a lot of people here, there was also a fair bit of seating. The service staff is pretty good, don't have any complaints here. The food aspect is quite interesting here. They have a lot of new stuff, which includes new takes on classic items, as well as new things that they invented themselves. I believe that some of these are quite similar to other things that people have experimented with, but it's no less welcome to see it. However, I wasn't a huge fan of the food overall. We got some stuff like pork puff pastries, the vegetarian siu mai (which sadly is not that great, but whatever), claims in chinese medicine soup (which was pretty gross), the truffle chicken, a few small dishes. Overall, I think they are trying a bit too hard to mess with things that are already quite decent. I appreciate the experimentation, but it's probably not for me.

Gaia Veggie Shop is a brilliant vegetarian restaurant, that serves a Chinese style menu, but…read morecatered to vegetarians, vegans and Buddhists. Specialising in both mock meats and vegetable replacements, Gaia serves up very tasty interpretations of classic Asian dishes. They are so good in fact, that a true carnivore like me can still be satisfied by a meal here. As an example of their menu, let me mention some of my favourite dishes. The sweet and sour fish is not fish, but make of mashed taro, so it's not a replacement as such, just a dish in it's own right. The steamed "chicken" in lotus leaf is made of a variety of mushrooms, and is made in a a gravy that is savoury and meaty. The beef and asparagus rolls use mock beef slices, which are a very good approximation to the real thing. They also to some fake sushi which is interesting. For me, the best things about eating mock meats are the good impacts on the environment, and of course not eating animals, but also, I find the vegetarian adaptations of meat dishes less fatty and oily. It means you can have a really good feed, and not feel all greasy and sluggish afterwards. The restaurant is typically Chinese, in that it is crowded and crammed with tables, everything is plastic or laminated, the lighting is bright and unforgiving. However, it is clean and well presented. The staff are very welcoming and friendly. Some of the senior staff speak reasonable English, so you can make yourself understood, but if in doubt you can always point to the pictures in the menu (which includes English). Actually, everyone there seems to be so friendly. I once even shared a couple of dishes with two complete strangers who had ordered too much! Rather than waste it, they wanted me to try some of it! Don't forget to grab a loyalty card (you can even pick one up at the front desk on the way in). It's just a plastic business card, but they will give you a 5% discount upon presenting it.

Good was average. Waiters (all of them and on all tables) had a habit of slamming the dishes and…read morecutlery on tables.

New Years Eve Dinner meal right in Times Square!…read more Searching for a place that will take 7 people on such a short notice, our friend was able to get a reservation the day of for us all to eat here. Honestly though, it wasn't super full and we probably could've came on a short notice but all in all, glad we made a reservation anyways. Normally, my family will tend to order off the set menu as it is much easier to do but there will always be a ridiculous amount of food left over. As half of us were foreigners and the other half natives, we asked the natives to just order all their favorite foods to share family style so everyone will be happy. We ordered: chicken salad with sesame dressing.

Old school vibes…read more Old folk pushing carts with old school dishes, and older patrons at the tables. This is the type of place that's vanishing, even in HK. It's not modern and it's not the cleanest but it's got character. And the food has flavor. Prices are cheap now for what you get but it's more than reasonable. They've got the staples as well as some rarer stuff like the coconut steamed egg, fish balls and steamed fish head. When you hit lunch time, their roast meats are surprisingly good. Especially the meaty roast pork. It sounds silly but the meat flavor really comes through. Enjoy it while you can.

They have some rules for sharing the tables with other guests not your groups on the same table.... Especially for morning tea n brunch. Not sharing table guests will have to go to 4th floor at 11am only for lunch start!!! Dim Sum for regular 3rd floor with some classic Dim Sum Carts with streamers hot dim sum dishes, and also some Dim Sum stations that guests will have to carry the dim sums themselves self served but with the ladies allocate dim sum orders!! Very busy everyday and it offers the traditional tasting, it's so delicious!!! Since it's a busy environment that guests need to carry or order quickly while they can can, it runs out so quickly for each cart n stations... but of course, the restaurant kitchen will refill the foods but guests have to wait if not rushing fast enough!!! Overall it's a good dim sum restaurant for local Chinese and tourists that like dim sums foods a lot!!

Steamed rice rolls are one of my favorite dim sum dishes, so when my friends and I came across a…read moreMichelin starred restaurant that specialized in the dish we had to check it out. The fillings were different than the ones offered in the US. The quality of the rice roll covering was better compared to other places because it was more light and thin. Really fresh too as you can see them making it towards the back of the restaurant. The fillings we tried (dried shrimp in one and pork in the other) were above average. The congee was unique since some type of leafy green vegetable was embedded into the rice porridge. As a result the congee had the flavor of the leafy green along with the savory flavors that are typical in congee. Our favorite item was the steamed turnip cake. We had several orders of that. Compared to those at other places this one was much lighter. Texture was smooth and it went really well with the slightly sweet soy sauce that covered it. We were amazed how it stayed together in a cube since it seemed to fall apart as soon as we tried to pick it up with our chopsticks. Service was average. I'd probably stop by here if I'm in this area again. Definitely for a turnip cake and a few rice rolls.
