Everything is pretty good but if you and unsure, I would asked the staff there. They are great with recommendations. SERVICE: Great service. Personal but non intrusive. LOCATION: 1/F Peninsula Hotel (which means you have to go up a floor from the main entrance) The entrance to Chesa is a small door way near the middle of the floor... it doesn't stand out and is pretty easy to miss

Wow! Super surprised there is a yelp entry for this restaurant!…read more This place I feel is not in the most ideal area. Personally, I don't like coming to LKF to have dinner or lunch or whatever. Still, I can't fault them too much for the location, and many people have actually done the same since there are a number of good restaurants in LKF area. This place is primarily a steak place, though they have a few other things to choose from as well. I believe lunch times they offer a AYCE sort of option, where you get a main and then the salad bar is buffet. I've been to it before and it's pretty good. I've heard however since COVID they have changed it somewhat. The other night I came and got the seafood guazzetto, which is about $300 HKD, and has a bunch of different things such as fish, octopus, clams, etc. Lots of seafood essentially. Other things I tried included the sides of brussel sprouts, mushrooms, bruschetta, some of my brother's sirloin steak, some of the fish of the day (halibut?). Overall, the food is quite nice. I will say, they tend to use a bit too much butter/oil here. I know this is kind of true whenever you eat out, but here it is definitely noticeable. I would recommend them to tone it down just a little bit, since there are always ways to spice up your dish without going overboard on the fats

I came here for dinner three nights ago, and I'm still full from it!…read more The five of us shared bruschetta (it comes with four but they added one more for us), the cured meats (a great curated selection), and the meatballs for appetizer. They also brought out some veggies and dip before we ordered (which I had never seen done before) along with bread. The highlight of the night was the steaks of course. We shared the florentina (aka the porterhouse. A 32oz wagyu beast) and a filet. The meats came on a cutting board already cut, so the sharing was easy. They were perfectly seasoned, tender, and flavorful. We had roasted veggies and creamed spinach as sides. The latter was addictive! Chef Todd was around to explain their meat selection when I walked around to check them out in the case. We didn't get to send our regards to him, as we stayed late and were the last to leave. Todd, if you're reading this, hail to the chef! We went without a reservation and were seated right away. It was a Thursday night, but we had gotten there around 9 which might explain the vacancy. It's a great option for groups and celebratory dinners :)

Arriving right when HeSheEat opens may not be a really good idea. I can assure you there is no wait…read moreon a weekday at 11:30 am. But sadly a lot of the dessert will not be ready to be served. Luckily the only one I really want to have, Green Tea Fondue with Tofu Ice Cream and Pistachios was available. I am really into matcha and warm dessert so I really enjoyed that! Tofu ice cream was still quite creamy but the warm fondue was definitely the star. I was also really surprise with the quality of their cappuccino. The milk was perfectly frothed and the latte art did not even distort at all even when I almost finished drinking my coffee. Service was really attentive. Since we were here during lunch hour, the kitchen was busy prepping for the lunch crowd. If you want to have full access to the dessert menu, coming here after 3 pm might be more ideal. HeSheEat is a nice cafe to escape the craziness of CWB. Being on the 2nd floor, you have a bird eye view which is great for people watching.

I haven't had pizza hut in HK for years. I don't remember it being so terrible…read more After ordering, I overheard several tables saying they've been waiting for over an hour. They never apologized to anyone for the wait and also never followed up. The customers had to flag down several servers. It wasn't even busy but I did not see a single pizza come out of the kitchen for the 30 min I waited. The pizzas were horrible. It was not hot - pan pizza should have a super crispy bottom. It was not. The the toppings were little, and the crust was unbelievably huge. It had got to be the worst pizza I've seen and eaten. It was just eating 90% dough. The clam had no taste but the thousand island one at least had a little bit of flavor. I don't think I'll be eating at any pizza hut anymore.

Yes, I am reviewing Pizza Hut. I normally would not, but there is a very good reason…read more The reason is that the Pizza Hut back in the U.S. are self service. In other words, there are no waiters/waitresses. My folks and I ate at this particular location for lunch today. The three of us had the Golden Grilled Chicken pizza. It was very good. Especially the roasted chicken, bacon, and cherry tomatoes. What was not good was the total amount. It costs roughly about $30 U.S. dollars. Even though the total amount was not what we had hoped, still it was good to get a chance to eat at a Pizza Hut in Hong Kong.

今次去咗灣仔合和中心嘅自助山食自助餐，之前已經聽過唔少人講呢度嘅食物唔錯，今次終於有機會親自試吓，食完之後覺得真係冇揀錯地方！…read more 成晚最令我印象深刻嘅，一定係鮑魚扣鵝掌！呢道菜真係要特別讚吓，鮑魚鮮味十足，鵝掌炆得非常腍滑，入口軟熟，配埋香濃嘅醬汁，真係好好味！平時去食自助餐，多數都係留意海鮮同燒味，但今次反而係呢道鮑魚扣鵝掌令我最有驚喜，食完仲想再食，絕對係我今次最鍾意嘅菜式之一。 另外，乳豬同燒鵝亦都相當出色。乳豬皮香脆，食落好香口，而且唔會覺得太肥膩。燒鵝亦都做得唔錯，肉質嫩滑，鵝味香濃，食落好有滿足感。我自己一向都鍾意食燒味，所以對呢兩款菜式特別有要求，今次兩樣都冇令我失望。 其實食自助餐，我唔係一味追求食物款式多，反而更加重視食物本身嘅質素。有時去一啲自助餐，雖然選擇好多，但真正令人想食第二次嘅菜式就唔多。今次自助山就唔同，單係鮑魚扣鵝掌、乳豬同燒鵝，已經令我覺得食得相當開心。 服務方面亦都值得一讚！ 員工態度親切有禮，招呼周到，令整個用餐過程非常舒服。對我嚟講，一間餐廳除咗食物要好味，服務同樣重要，而自助山喺呢方面確實做得幾好。 總括嚟講，今次喺自助山嘅用餐體驗相當滿意。食物有水準，尤其係幾款中式菜真係做得出色，加上服務好，成餐飯食得非常愉快。

Wow, this buffet is seriously amazing. I've never experienced a buffet so extravagant and extensive…read morebefore! First off, the ambiance and views are stunning. You get 360 views of the city and the restaurant actually rotates! It's trippy at first, and I got lost multiple times trying to go back and forth from the buffet, but I could use the extra steps considering how much I ate. The food selection was massive, so there's no way I could write them all but here were some of my notes and things I'd get again: - Made to order grilled beef: really good, we asked for it rare since it's thin - Lobster with cheese was good: They had cold lobster and crab too but it wasn't super fresh to us and was a little watery. - Handmade dim sum: get the XLB and har gow - Roasted meats: Goose, roasted pig. The skin on the roasted pig was to die for. Perfectly thin and crispy - Prime rib: Good but a little over cooked for my liking - Sashimi and sushi: Really good quality - Fried ice cream: Very unique... kind of like the rolled ice cream. - Mango pudding: yum! - Butterfly cookies: I think they won some awards for these and it shows! We had a great time and enjoyed our experience here. They had a special baked Alaska show at 8pm, that wasn't super cool to be honest. I will say it is pretty pricey, but if you eat a lot of seafood, you will get your moneys worth.

OVO Cafe is one of the many cafes and coffee shops I bookmarked in Wan Chai; it is also the closest…read moreone to our hotel. I initially bookmarked this cafe because the interior looks absolutely beautiful, it is inside a flower shop, and it is a vegan cafe! Decided to walk over when it opens at 12pm today (Boxing Day), and got a seat right away. You have to scan your vaccination pass (aka blue code) upon arrival, and you order via QR code at the table (physical menu is also available upon request). It is very spacious inside with high ceiling, beautiful floral and green decors, and very friendly staff. We ordered the Cheese Fondue Lunch Set for 2, and it comes with a fruit x greens salad, and 2 drinks (you can order the free drinks or add a bit of money and get other drink items for this lunch set). The cheese fondue is obviously vegan, and because it is vegan cheese, it does get a bit clumpy, so be sure to stir, stir, stir to get the cheese more smooth before dipping. The set comes with 3 mini trays of food for dipping: baby corn, cherry tomato, broccoli, mushroom, potato wedge, tofu dumpstick, and toasted bread. For the drinks, we had a rose theme going on lol. I ordered the Rock Salt Rose Latte (you can select decaffeinated and the type of milk), and my partner got a pot of the Rose & Osmanthus Tea. It was a lovely lunch :) I can't wait to come back again to try the Chinese desserts!

Food: I had the lunch special of laksa (shiitake mushrooms, snap peas, tomatoes, half of a…read morehard-boiled egg, bean sprout, veggies, noodles). I liked it a lot. It was subtly spicy and gave it a good kick. My only qualm was that the noodle quickly absorbed the soup, so it got thicker and thicker as I ate. The portion was quite large and I struggled to finish and needed to enlist the help of friends to help me. The lunch special came with a soup, salad, or hot beverage. I went with the black truffle soup with mushrooms. Definitely made no mistake there. It was so, so good. Super flavorful with bits of mushroom. My dining companions definitely loved it too. I wouldn't mind more of it...actually that sounds pretty good right about now. Price: $78 for the lunch special, so quite reasonable for fresh, good quality, and large portions Friends tried the all-day breakfast and vegetarian burger, and they all liked their food too. Repeat? Yes!

It was through an uncle that lives in HK that recommended Nicholini's since we typically stay at…read morethe Conrad. Browsed the menu and easily made reservations prior to our arrival. The staff was super friendly and we were the first patrons for the night. The restaurant was quiet and within 30 minutes after being seated did it start to get loud. There was some sort of dinner party as they had a long table located near the window. The restaurant does have a nice view of HK and do request a table along the windows to enjoy the view. I guess white asparagus is in season as they had a page dedicated to it and selected an appetizer to see how it compared to what we had a month ago in Tokyo. For the appetizers, we started off with the white asparagus w/ what I believed to be prosciutto and a hollandaise sauce. The dish was decent but the issue was with the asparagus. It was just either over cooked or bad as it was sort of mushy. The second starter we ordered was the beef tartare which was ok but could've use a bit more seasoning. The Hokkaido scallops were the best appetizer for the night which was cooked perfectly and was well seasoned. Since we had just landed that morning we opted to just order the pasta dishes as our main courses. The cacio e pepe was a bit too peppery in my opinion but the pasta was cooked perfectly and did have a very pleasant truffle taste. The waitress suggested the little nicholini's as it was her favorite and it definitely was tasty. For dessert we opted for the dolce ponce and the gianduitto. The dolce ponce was more like a lava cake which was good but was really sweet and had a strong cheese aftertaste (not sure why). The gianduitto was ok but nothing too memorable. Overall a decent menu but I think I prefer the Italian meal we had in Tokyo last month.

Made a Sunday brunch reservation ~2 months prior to arrival via the Conrad Hong Kong website and…read morereceived an automated and personal e-mail confirmation. The restaurant has a slight view of the harbor. Upper House next door has a much more breathtaking view. The restaurant is rather upscale, despite only being on the 8th floor. There are tons of food stations. Sadly, the lobster/shrimp station was challenging with seafood that wasn't super fresh... The roasted suckling pig was okay. Ming Court and Lung King Heen have better versions. Their peking duck was also mediocre. Their foie gras was decent and so was their beef tenderloin. A hot cooked-to-order entree is also included with the brunch. My Australian lamb chops were excellent, definitely the highlight of my brunch Desserts, fruits, freshly squeezed juices, and lattes were all very good. 3 hour valet parking is included with purchases $1000+. Additional hour is $80. Brunch is served from 11 - 3 pm on Sundays. ~$800/head for Sunday brunch + 10% service charge. HS cardholders get 15% off.

When I saw pictures of these souffle pancakes, I just couldn't resist trying them myself…read more Thankfully the fad has faded somewhat, so the wait for a table, on a weekday afternoon, is about 10 minutes rather than an hour. There is an open kitchen where you can see the staff at work, beating the egg white, folding in the egg yolk, heating the pancakes on the skillet. They have the production down to a science, the staff keeps checking the temperature with a thermometer. These pancakes are fluffy by beating the egg white first to an airy lightness before incorporating into the pancake mix. Plenty of videoes are available on YouTube should you wish to DIY. My pancake comes out relatively quick. A light, fluffy cloud rich in the flavor of milk and egg. Like angel cake but creamier. It is so tasty on its own I don't need any sauce or cream to enrich it. It sure put me in a state of Shiawase, of bliss and happiness. Until it comes to paying the bill and I realized that the pancake cost me US$20... Happiness does come at a price... Which I would happily pay again.

I saw A Happy Pancake on IG and since I'm in CWB nearly every day when I'm in HK I had to try it…read moreout. A Happy Pancake opened in the city of Osaka in 2014 and they've been branching out ever since. This restaurant is another one in the latest trend of soufflé pancakes. The chefs do not use any baking powder and instead use a secret unique recipe which makes the pancakes softer and fluffier than regular pancakes. I went with a dear friend at 11:30am and we were almost the last in line for the first queue. We waited over 1.5 hours before we were seated. While I was waiting I perused the menu. They had both savory and sweet pancakes and a variety of drinks like coffee, iced tea and milk tea. It was quite efficient; the staff knew exactly what they were doing and told us that we could serve ourselves with lemon water, regular water or hot water from dispensers on a table near the kitchen. The ambience inside was modern, bright and well lit (for Instagramming of course). There was a menu in Chinese with pictures so you just point at what you want. They did have a laminated paper of information like their free WiFi and IG account information. Under out seats were baskets where you could put your purses or whatnot. For someone who stresses out about where to put my purse in restaurants this was genius! I wish they had more of these in the States... After sorting out our purses we knew exactly what we wanted as soon as we were seated and ordered: Meal Pancake with Scrambled Eggs and Thick Sliced Bacon (HK$128): This came with three wheat pancakes, scrambled eggs and literally 2 pieces of bacon that were 2"x2" each. The bacon was tough to eat, scrambled eggs were decently cooked and the wheat pancakes were dense and dry. I was underwhelmed by this dish. Not going to order again. A Happy Pancake (HK$108): This is what we were waiting for. In its simplicity, it was soft, fluffy, airy and melt in your mouth delicious. My friend and I really enjoyed this. You don't need fruit, sauces or granola to make this glorious dish, well glorious. It came with a butter and a small container of syrup. We inhaled the pancakes and called it a day. Servers and kitchen were like a well oiled machine and cranked out pancake after pancake after pancake. Don't forget to tip the hardworking people since 10% is not included on your bill. I will definitely go back the next time I'm in town, this time I'll go for breakfast at 9:30am so I don't have to wait so long.
