This airport had an ample…read moreamount of restaurants to chose from but this place just called out to me because I have not eaten Cutlet in such a long time.And this place surely did not disappoint. I ordered the combo which included 1 piece of shrimp, port cutlet, and a chicken breast cutlet. The combo was served with a miso soup rice and some kind of pickled something. The dish was also served with a sauce and some kind of dry rub with black sesame, the latter i truly enjoyed. All the variation of cutlets i enjoyed. You may be saying... only 1 piece of shrimp... but that one piece was enough. If you are trying to decide what to eat at the Hong Kong airport, this place should be one of your choices. Cheers!!

From its first location in Shijuku in 1966, Saboten has expanded to over 500 branches worldwide,…read moreand is considered the largest tonkatsu (pork cutlet) chain in Japan, and hence the world. Which means: Saboten is a good place for reliably good tonkatsu at a good price, even if it may not be the best tonkatsu in your life. In fact, their menu is wholly focused on fried pork cutlet, so if this is not your thing - especially if you don't care for pork or fried food - walk along. The thick cutlet is succulent and tender inside, the crust is light but can be crispier. Don't forget to get their black & white sesame blend to add to the tonkatsu sauce, or just sprinkle onto the rice and pork cutlet (the way I like it.)

After walking around the airport in search for good eats, nothing else really looked intriguing. But then we stumbled upon Bari-Uma. The ramen pictures on their menu looked good, so why not? Because we already had a meal on the plane, fiance and I shared the ramen dish: Ajitama-Uma. It is described as "pork-flavoured shoyu soup with thick-cut flamed chashu". It was actually pretty good. Quite tasty and lots of flavour! Not bad for airport food.

Service is efficient, can be friendly depending if you're a regular client. It can get unorganized if it's packed.

Stir fried river shrimps, sweet and sour fish, pan fried pork Bun, Xiao Loong Bao, Zhejiang Pork, Chinese Cabbage with smoked Chinese ham, just to name a few. All perfectly done. Can't remember an occasion with a fault from the kitchen. Excellent value for money.

My partner and I had an awful dinner at Pizzeria Inaia Kennedy Town. We got moved from a nice…read morefour-person table to a freezing cramped corner table right after ordering. Later we saw a white couple sitting at our original spot. I am 7.5 month (30 weeks) pregnant, yet the staff used "the other woman is pregnant" as an excuse to explain the table arrangement and claimed they could not see my obvious pregnancy bump. They offered nothing but a careless sorry. The aggressive staff and obvious double standard based on race made this a deeply unpleasant experience. Unprofessional and unfair! We would never visit and hope this could let more people see.

At first I was a little confused about the name, Greyhound Cafe? Not really sure why that name and…read moreI thought it is something "bus" related and maybe an American diner?! Greyhound Cafe is a franchise originated from Thailand and now in Hong Kong. Food is Thai Fusion. So you will find quite an interesting menu but the flavour profile is mainly Thai. This has become one of my family favourite place for gathering and of course I ended up coming here when I am in town. Reservation highly recommended as the restaurant is small and you will have 90 minute window to enjoy your meal. We tried quite a few items with some hit and miss. Just be warned they uses fresh thai chili pepper to season quite a bit and if you cannot eat spicy, there are non spicy dish that you might enjoy more. Spaghetti Cha Cha Cha ($128) seems to be the crowd favourite. Chicken Satay was meh... and the raw vegetables skewers that came with it was fail. You must not miss dessert! Mango Sticky Rice and Pandan layer cake both really good! They also offers Afternoon Tea Set which is much better value than dinner a la carte.

Surely there should be an old Chinese proverb that says, "Don't judge a dai pai dong by its dingy…read morerestaurant facade." ABC...stands for A Better Cooking kitchen. This name is lame compared to what we discovered when we dined there this week. We had heard the the hype around our Sheung Wan hood, but ABC was against the grain of what were expecting. I felt my mind was being challenged against my expectation of what I would experience and also being BLOWN at every turn. If you told a Hong Konger that you had the greatest Italian restaurant experience inside a dai pai dong, they would look at you and say "you are wrong...dai pai dong's don't have Italian food" They would be thinking, "silly white girl, she does not know what she is talking about." And when you say again, "no really, red and white checker table clothes, wine list, pastas, etc", they would probably look at you again like you had things confused in your mind on what a dai pai doing was. Now granted that the popular suckling pig ($178HKD) is not really an Italian item to be found on most Italian restaurant menus, the remaining items on the menu are really quite nice and might apply authentically to a true Italian dinner table. Pesto pasta ($148HKD), pan-fried foie gras w/chutney ($128HKD), beef carpaccio ($88HKD) , creme brulee ($48HKD). My husband had the suckling pig and said it was different than your standard Chinese version of suckling pig. He indicated that the meat was more tender, like almost a pulled port consistency. We enjoyed the foie gras as an appetizer and were almost left speechless..."am I really eating foie gras of this caliber in a dai pai dong?" MIND BLOWN! I had the pesto pasta and the pasta was cooked perfectly and was really a surprise to my palette. Good quality noodle, good preparation, steaming hot to the table. MIND BLOWN! The restaurant itself is in a dai pai dong setting, with tables butting up against tables for a Chinese place, a dumpling spot, a Vietnamese place and an Indian restaurant. The environment is clean, but clustered. The red and white table clothes will give it away on where you are going once you ascend the moving escalator from the street (across from the 7-11 on that corner) up to the dai pai dong. My head keeps thinking, how is the local gem (really kind of a hot spot, for it was really busy) even here in this chaotic dai pai dong environment. MIND BLOWN! The wine list kind of sucks, but the fact that you are sitting in a dai pai dong and there is actually a wine list, your head is still kind of spinning and I did not care that I was drinking at sub-par chianti. MIND BLOWN! They even have a larger liquor license with Gordon's Gin and Absolut Vodka on their menu! MIND BLOWN! We were greeted by the most friendly, older host/waiter. He was happy to serve us. No turn and burn mentality of a dining experience here. MIND BLOWN! They are speaking decent English and it was easy to communicate, even when my husband was not chiming in with Cantonese. They take reservations. WHAT? This is a wolf in sheeps clothing for certain. What dai pai dong setting takes a resy? MIND BLOWN! Now I am just being picky, but I think I would like to see something like a calamari appetizer or fresh breadsticks...my horrible pre-conceived ideas of the Olive Garden are my influence...I am a victim of bad US Italian food chain restaurants. Calamari though is a staple on every Italian restaurant menu...right? Sometimes a 5 star Yelp experience is not a flawless experience served in a 5-star Beard rated restaurant. Great restaurants are not without some error, but ABC gets a 5 because they blew my mind on what to expect from a dai pai dong experience and it is a solid Italian restaurant experience.

Good quality dishes at great value here. It's actually one of the better restaurants that I have…read morecome across during this last trip. Tables weren't packed too closely to each other and service was polite and prompt. Portion on the group dinner set was also plentiful as well. The highlight of the meal was definitely the spicy lamb rib dish. The skin was so deliciously crispy, I just kept going back for more. The lamb itself was gamey, so if be warned if that's not your preference. Peking duck was very good as well, though I think they serve quite a bit of meat along with the skin nowadays. The spicy pork belly with asparagus and okra was boldly flavored and I would recommend if you're comfortable with a bit of heat. Of course, what Northern Chinese dinner would be complete without some XLBs? Solid work on the XLBs here. Would recommend giving them a go. Downer was the fried prawns with salted egg. The shrimp just wasn't fresh enough and it had that mushy texture. The flavor of the salted egg didn't really come through either. So fried giant mushy shrimp... Overall, above average for Northern Chinese in Southern China with all things considered.

So this Northern Chinese Spicy Food restaurant offer pretty good service, venue and food with an…read moreacceptable price. I first tried this with a group of colleagues for a celebration. That allowed me to taste more than ten dishes of their food. They all tasted great without much to complaint. And the bill ended up at 1500$ that fed about 12 big guys. I particularly loved the fish dish which they cooked the entire fish with spices and additional meats and mushroom on the it. It tasted great with lot of flavours while the texture was smooth at the meat and crispy at the skin and bones. In comparison to the Peking Duck, the duck was a bit too thick cut. Other dishes are not big, so you may try more dishes with our limited space of our stomach. The service was attentive, even during the busy lunch hour with a lot of tables to fill, the waiting staffs gave us lot of attention to clearing our plates and even changing our dining plates as well. For the price of 100$ to 200$ per person, I think the overall service was outstanding. However, there is still room for improvement. For food, although they all tasted wonderful, I have a feeling that some of them could be better, such as the peking duck. As for service, if they are to welcome us verbally, I think they should have done it with greater enthusiasm. Anyhow, I will come back when I ever need to drop by in the weekend.
