We had a big family luncheon. They told me that the dim sum from this place has won a lot of awards. I would have to agree and they have specialized dim sum not offered at other places. We ordered many dishes. The bun with the salted egg yolk was my favorite. I was in heaven. I'm all about the salted duck egg. The two other dishes that stuck out were the shumai topped with abalone and the spring roll wrapped in look fun. As usual, I had to get my shrimp dumpling. It was huge with fresh shrimp, and the skin transparent. Winner! The steamed fish was very appetizing. The meat was smooth and firm, with a nice texture to it. I could tell that it was very fresh. The goose was good also, but on the fatty side. The goose has to be ordered a day before if you're planning to get it.

Service can be a hit or a miss, depending if anyone is holding a banquet or not. Seafood selection choice is OK and normally prepared nicely, especially the steamed shellfish or whole fish. Barbeque items such as roast pork or suckling pigs is also good.

The curry flavour came right through. But the Star is the beef tongue. So tender and full 9f flavour. Moreover, the portion was large. Lots of beef tongue and enough rice to fill you up. All this for $79 is a steal. Oh and it came with a Chinese soup of the day too.

For that amount, this place gives you a choice of 7 different types of noodles and lots of meat options. See my menu pic. As added value, you get 2 fried eggs instead of 1 like the two other neighboring cafes. Good service, English on the menu, and comfortable air-conditioning give One's Cafe an additional star above just average.

I dropped in on a Wednesday around lunch time and it was busy with mainly locals/businessman. I didn't spot an English menu so good luck ordering if you don't speak or read. I asked a businessman who helped me; it's mainly noodles and rice. Most were getting takeout. - Fried rice with ham and egg ($36 HKD) - good wok hei to the rice. It's pretty standard fare but flavour was good and not over seasoned. Pretty solid portion size too. Good, cheap street food. Cash only. 3.5 stars.

We get to pick the spices used, the spice level, and all the ingredients. We usually don't get a lot of seafood but this time we decided to go with some crab and clams along with frog legs, lamb, lotus root, and some other good stuff. It's nice and spicy, going perfectly with a little rice. We get the cumin flavoured in which pairs so we'll with the heat of the chilis. If you're down for something new, give this place a try.

The popular dishes such as the shrimp dumpling/hargow, pork shiu mai, and the beef rice noodle/cheung fun are all pretty standard. Some of my favorites include the cha shiu, and the beef tendon which not every dim sum place has let alone make it decently flavored in the way that this place does. The peanuts, dipping sauce, and teas are also solid. During our one week trip this year we came here twice, and we would probably come again!

As for Japanese cuisine, most of the time very minimal seasoning is required, the freshness and quality of the ingredients speak for themselves! As for service, I have hear that Hong Kong does not shine in this category but I have to beg for different, here as to most other places I have been to, I would say their service ( food industry in general ) is above the 85% mark, of course there are always room for improvement!

This is one of my favourite hotpot places in town. The place was opened something like 4 years ago…read moreand I have a been a regular there ever since; they have also become a celebrity (no pun on the name) in the area too. This restaurant is not a chain as such but it was start by two brothers who still staff the place, much like the newer generation of hotpot places they serve not only the usual hotpot favourites but also specialize in seafood items and even serve sashimi if you come here on the right day. Dotted around the shop are blackboard with the special of the day being listed and you are strongly recommended to try whats on the boards as they will be the fresh items for the day. They have a huge choice of soup bases to choose from and one of the most important things in a hot pot- beef- is categorized into so many sections that you wouldn't have known that so many bits can come off a cow. The other items on the menu do go on and portions could only be described to be generous. Another favourite to try here is the special wanton that they make on site. The shop further benefits from the fact that it occupies a corner section so it is a good size with around 12-15 tables; they always have the A/Cs on full blast to keep everyone cool .Drinks aren't the cheapest but there is always some beer thats on special offer to keep every well hydrated. For drivers, you could park right outside but then again the fuzz does visit every now and then hence you will be well advised to check on your pride and joy every now and then.
