This is one of the upscale dim sum and seafood restaurants from one of the chains. I have only ever…read morebeen here for dim sum, but that is because it is super convenient for my family. The dim sum isn't bad here, and they have quite a few interesting items unique to this restaurant. Since it's "upscale", the price is a bit more expensive here, and I think they serve a lot of businesses that operate in the same building. I don't mind paying for service and decor, but considering all the delicious dim sum places in Hong Kong, the price doesn't justify it.

You will feel both pampered and respected on top of the near perfect food. It's a place for rich folks. Having said that, it's not a secrete place for rich folks so you'll see tourists. If you order carefully & don't have alcohol, you can probably get out of there for about HK$500 a head. Otherwise, it can easily be HK$1,500-3,000 a head. But it's quit good.

We were staying at the hotel and decided to give this 1 Michelin star place a try…read more We got the quail, Braised Wagyu Beef Ribs, and a few vegetable dishes. The quail was more gamey than I like, but it was still good. The Braised Wagyu Beef Rib were good, and worth getting. The price was more than a typical Hong Kong restaurant, but cheaper than most 1 Michelin star places.

Service here is very good and this is a great place to go for a date night or to take people from out of town. The food is also quite good and there is a good mix of creative takes on dishes and classic presentations. Food: 4 stars Environment/service: 4.5 stars Value: 3.75 stars Overall: 4 stars Recommendations: typhoon shelter shrimp, crab xiao long bao, char siu pastry On my visit I had the Peking duck which I found fine but wasn't particularly impressed by. The skin didn't have the crispness I was hoping for. The typhoon shelter crab is very good. I loved all the fried garlic and the hint of heat from the chili's. The shrimps were luscious and had the nice snap you get from fresh seafood. I also enjoyed the dim sum here with the crab Xiao long bao and the char siu apple puff the real stand outs for me.

I did some research and selected Fishsteria for a Sunday brunch outing. The price seemed…read morereasonable, this set brunch was not a "buffet" per se, and I do not eat red meat (only fish and eggs). So fitting three important criteria for me, my husband and I called up and booked a reservation. For quality and quantity of food prepared and provided, a solid 5 stars in my Yelping world. Not a question on this. My carb loving husband proclaimed upon savoring the first bite of his Linguini Mixed Grill with Light Tomato Sauce, "Not only is this the best perfectly prepared pasta I have consumed in Hong Kong, this might be the best bowl of pasta I have ever had in my life." These are bold words. We cave eaten pasta from the the shores of Italy to celebrity chefs holding court up and down Las Vegas Blvd. So these really are bold words. I can only speak to brunch (which is a seafood feast every Saturday and Sunday from 12-3pm). We made a reservation at noon. Often brunch with friends can be long, lingery, boozy affairs, but when it is just my husband and I, we kind of cut to the chase a bit and prefer to eat and enjoy, but be out in an hour, hour and half tops. As such, it was kind of key arriving at noon, before the staff got busy with the large tables that were more of the long, lingery, boozy type. There are two floors to Fishsteria. When you walk in the restaurant, there is a long bar and dining area in the back. For Sunday brunch (or I suppose Saturday day brunch too), they whisk you upstairs to their cozy, well appointed, casual, light blue/grey, warm wooded dining room. It is fish and ocean inspired with the color palette for their decor, but not "cheesy" as often seafood restaurants can be with fishing nets on the wall or a giant fake fish as art as a backdrop. The place maybe sits 100 people upstairs and there are some more private, intimate spaces up there for more of a private gathering. It is welcoming and comfortable. Brunch is $338. Add free flow fresh juices and homemade lemonade ice tea, add $98. Add free flow bloody's, gin tonics or champagne, add $288. So brunch for $338 is 4 things: buffet counter, starters served at table, choice of main dish, choice of dessert. You can look at the menu and understand the main and dessert part, but let me explain the buffet and the starters served at table. The buffet counter is a small table set up in the dining room with some green salad, some smoked salmon, some olives, some sardines, etc. The buffet counter is not large and kind of there to be an small appetizer. You can go back for more. The starters served at the table then slowly began to appear at our table....crab croquettes, a squid stew appetizer of sorts, fresh oysters, shrimp and melon taster and crab & mozerella salad. For quantity and quality of these dishes, we were kind of blown away by this unexpected part to our $338 brunch experience. They really were delicious and again, so unexpected, for nobody on the staff advised us what the "starters" were really all about. You get what you are served and you do not have more...there is so much delicious food at this point, I cannot even imagine asking for me. And then our actual meal arrived. Linguini Mixed Grill with Light Tomato Sauce and then a slice of baked cod. I kind of don't know what to say. Maybe my husband expressed it best as I wrote in a prior paragraph. Words escape me. You go your whole like traveling the world, living in cool cities, being exposed to great food, being almost insulted by the price of a meal in hip eateries and coveted spots and all it takes is one restaurant in Wan Chai to give you pause to stop and say "This is fantastic! And not only is maybe one of the best meals we have ever had, but for $338, it is the best value we have ever seen in Hong Kong." The actual menu is going to be more expensive, but if the quality is the same as the brunch, you would enjoy your meal. But again, as I only can speak to brunch, this place was unexpected, delicious and a great value.

Mother's Day Trip to HK. And decided to have lunch here since their dinner reso was booked up…read more Heard great things about this 3 star Michelin restaurant from some fellow foodie friends. Must say, I was rather disappointed. The only 2 dishes that we thought were actually Michelin worthy might be the Aka uni. Cauliflower. Lobster. Royal Cristal caviar. Etc. dish and the mango. Golden pineapple. Curry. Black fermented kumquat. Coconut cream dessert. The other dishes ranged from normal good to unmemorable. Perhaps comparing it to French Laundry is crazy, but it's really hard not to compare when they're both 3 star Michelin restaurants and the price is comparable. The ambiance was on point. However, service was mixed depending on the server and honestly... I've had better service at 1 star/ 2 star Michelin restaurants. In terms of service I'll just mention what I recall (they're nice overall, but...): 1) we found a piece of glass on my sister's place mat. They attributed it to the centre piece which we find utterly laughable, but sure, whatever excuse they want 2) while we were taking photos they came into the frame a few times. French laundry was much better... invisible when not required and visible immediately when needed 3) gave us the bill while we were still eating and asked us to leave early cause they need to close up for break before dinner service. I missed the exact wording as I was in the restroom but absolutely unacceptable. Never in a million years have we ever had any Michelin star restaurant do this to us 4) there were times when the staff didn't clear the dishes and gave us the next dish. There should never be clutter on the table where it takes away from the seamless experience 5) it was a nice touch that they gave us a Mother's Day cake to pack to go but they failed to mention that it needs to be eaten immediately or refrigerated within 2.5 hrs. Yes... they had a note on the cake box in font size 12. But a normal 3 star or even 1 star Michelin would mention it verbally too 6) them telling us that their kitchen is closed so they can only give us a doggy paper bag and not a box to pack our madeleines to go. I've contemplated giving this place a 2 star review, but I also don't think their food is bad... just not sure ALL their food AND service is Michelin worthy. 2 words. Thoroughly disappointed.

Hong Kong, Central. November 2023…read more Very good breakfast buffet. Very good afternoon tea. The breakfast buffet is a mixed crowd of hotel guests and business people looking for a place to eat and talk without being rushed. There is a good combination of Western and Eastern. A made to order omelette station and carved meats. A noodle bar with three kinds of noodles choices, won ton and fish balls, lettuce and choi sum. Made to order eggs and Eggs Benedict on request. The afternoon tea is about the scones with the hotel's signature rose petal jam. You'll want to buy a jar from the Mandarin Cake Shop to take home. The sweets and finger sandwiches are fine. The hotel's central location and service attract ladies and couples on an outing and businessmen taking a break from the office.

It has…read moreattracted many Mainland Chinese students from the nearby university and Japanese expat from the nearly Canon office as well as spicy food lovers like us to become regulars. It's so causal that it does not have a printed menu, everything is pretty much hand written and posted on the wall. With the exception of the set lunch, you get to mark it yourself on the paper and then hand it to the staff so as to limit the time each staff has to spend on serving customers. Therefore do not expect any service nor communications, its more or less like a fast food place but the staff will bring you the food kind of place. But the food (and the price!) will overcome all that, especially the Spicy Szechuan Chicken, it's one of the best I have ever had in Hong Kong. You can order it a la carte at dinner, or a smaller portion with a bowl of noodle and a drink for lunch. For under HK$40 a set lunch, it's a bargain no one can resist. So expect to wait in line during lunch hour and if need be you may be moved to a different table to make room for a large group, even if you are eating. With good food, things like that are forgivable.
