There isn't a pretty view of the sea. Instead, you will walk up two flights of very narrow stairs to a pleasant dining area and excellent service. The walls are decorated with their Michelin one star awards over the years, which is an accomplishment. My wife and I came for lunch. The set price lunches have a lot of food, but cost just under $3000 for two. I didn't need a banquet. So, I skipped that. Instead, we shared fried tofu as an appetizer. It was hot, creamy and light. Definitely the right choice. Then we shared grouper prepared two ways as the second course. A wise decision. It was delicious, had contrast, and emphasized the fresh fish flavor. That cost $880, but well worth it. Much better than the seafood places nearby.

The food is cooked well, nothing fancy but like…read morewhat a good homecook can do - however it costs way more even compared to neighboring restaurants. I'm guessing because we're paying for the Michelin Star, and the cleaner, inside, tableclothed setting. I can attest they also have clean washrooms! I have to dock a star though because of all the nickel and diming they do even after charging more for their dishes (e.g. higher tea charge at HKD $18/pp but at least they exempted my toddler, another HKD $10 for providing 2 wet naps, for market priced dishes they charge not by dish for prep but by number of people at the table, etc). The server also gave my mom some attitude when she asked to see the Mantis Shrimp we ordered live before cooking (which is usual for Chinese restaurants to check the freshness and size), and said bluntly that they're already cooking it. We came to try how they do their Mantis Shrimp so that was the star of our lunch. We had it prepped fried with garlic, pepper, salt. My hubby liked the natural sweetness in the meat. I found it just OK. We ordered the Fried Tofu with Chili and Garlic that others seem to enjoy, again hubby liked it, I found it OK. It came on a pile of orange rice crisps that had no flavor and added nothing to the dish. Our last dish was the Braised Pork Belly with Pickled Vegetables which was pretty good with ample meat that was very filling. My favorite of the 3 dishes. For a restaurant located on Sai Kung's Seafood Street, its also interesting that they're famous for their Crispy Skin Chicken, which you have to reserve in advance or you're out of luck if you try to order it there. We did not reserve ahead... :/ When looking for the restaurant, note that they are on a street not overlooking the waters and have no fishtank display outside to show you their fresh produce like their neighbors. So keep an eye out for their signage. Their dining area is up a flight of narrow stairs but I think they might have a table or 2 on the street level though I didn't get to see since they directed us upstairs though an outside entrance. Service wise, at least they carried our stroller up for us.

Fair warning, if you are planning to eat seafood, expect you pay a pretty penny. The nice thing…read moreabout here is that you get to pick your own seafood. My recommendations: lobster noodles (yee meen) with cheese, razor clams with vermicelli/garlic and geoduck sashimi. We came in a big party so we were able to order 6 different types of seafood. Of the 6, everything was really good but the top 3 were phenomenal. The lobster noodles with cheese was my favorite. You can't find this in America and my friend specifically chose this restaurant for this dish. The cheese that they used went perfectly with the lobster and noodles. Almost made the noodles like a carbonara. I have never had razor clams before but it's just a long clam. The meat was soft and chewy. Who doesn't like fresh garlic and noodles? The sauce that was on the clam and noodles was delicious. Lastly the geoduck was used for sashimi and soup. The geoduck was sliced thinly and dipped with wasabi soy sauce. It was super fresh and you can't just stop at once piece. The soup that was prepared with the head had vegetables and tofu. It was rich and really sweet. The one thing I wanted to try in Asia was the mantis shrimp. They may look big, but it hardly has any meat. The flavor was spot on though. Service was good and they came around to change our plates frequently. Our bill was 6444 HKD for 7 dishes.

And then there is a charge to have all seafood cooked to whatever seasoning. We ordered mantis shrimp, it was deep fried there isnt much meat, scallops were steamed with rice vermicelli noodle and soy sauce, scallops were over cooked, and crab was deep fried with fried galic and green onions spicy. Cooked just right, and a fresh live fish was steam chinese style with scallions and soy sauce, fish steamed perfectly. They have indoor and outdoor seating. There is no pricing for the seafood than has to be weight, and there is a fee to cook each seafood item that choose, it will add up bill quickly. After receiving bill we were charged for tea and anything extra you requested. If you need to splurge once when in Hong Kong it is ok, pricing will be on the high end. They also have on far left a restaurant with same name. And on right is another restaurant that has same fresh live seafood restaurant. So chose wisely.

Firstly, I want to call out the amazing service here. I was sitting outside but there is indoor seating and an upstairs. A boy came here with crutches and his table was upstairs. unfortunately they don't have an elevator but the host offered to piggy back him up which I thought was amazing. The host also kept giving people a heads up whenever the nearby lot had a cop giving out parking tickets. You can just tell that the staff was very customer first by the type of personal and unconventional service they provided which I, myself have never seen anywhere else before (literally in the world). Location wise, it's right on the water front on sai Kung, so the view is quite pleasant while you're enjoying your meal. After you order your dishes, you can go over to the giant fish tanks to pick out the fresh and live seafood. Literally every dish I had was absolutely amazing in flavor and super fresh. There's a few other Michelin Star rated seafood restaurants within walking distance but I've been told that the flavors here are unparalleled to. Here are some of the things we ordered in no particular order and hopefully somewhat correct names: Fish soup (5/5): surprisingly my favorite most memorable dish. Strong flavors without being overwhelming Fried squid cake (3.5/5): not as special as other items but great texture, crispy on the outside, similar to a deep fried fish ball Geoduck sashimi (5/5): super fresh ! Fried tofu (4.5/5): on the house and probably one of the best fried tofu I ever had. Crispy on the outside and the softest tofu ever inside. Fried abalone (4/5): great deep fried flavor. My only complaint was it was a little chewy but that might also be the natural texture of abalone Fried bigass shrimp whose English name I don't know but directly translated to "pee itself shrimp" (5/5): one of my top dishes, as large as a lobster. Tasted like lobster, deep fried flavor to perfection, but difficult to remove the shell from *update: mantis shrimp is the name* Uni fried rice (4/5): fried rice was cooked to perfection but I had to knock off a star just because it didn't really capture the uni flavor Crispy chicken (5/5): full of meat and flavor was on point, I was amazing at how they were able to make the skin on chicken so crispy as if it was Peking duck Red striped crab cooked in egg white (4/5): a little bland for my liking but the crab meat resembled the middle ground of king crab and singleness crab. Very simple flavors for those who like that Stir fried surf clams in black bean sauce (4/5): good flavor, cooked perfectly, but very similar to regular stir fried clam I would totally come back again on my next visit to Hong Kong! It's a shame that it is a bit of a journey and the best way there is if you know someone with a car, but worth it!

I've had plenty during my semester abroad, but this was hands down the best one I've tried. The exterior was perfectly crispy and sweet, and the bread underneath was soft and fluffy. If I had more time, I honestly would've ordered a second. There are chairs and tables outside, but you need to order a drink if you want to sit. Service was quick and they have a lot of other options. My friend and I both gave the pineapple bun a 10/10. I'd definitely come back for this again one day.

Don't leave Sai Kung without trying the pineapple buns with butter (bolo yau in Cantonese) here…read more Sure, there may be a line and very little seating available, but I promise you, you'll be a happily fed baby after. The pineapple buns with butter are served warm so the slab of butter in between the bun melts as you work your way through it. The top crust is so crispy while the interior of the bun remains soft and fluffy. This is incredibly hard to achieve. But most importantly, the flavor balance is everything. I admit it's almost like a heart attack in a bun, but they somehow don't make you feel guilty eating it. The butter just melds with the bun in a way that's not disgustingly oily? I've been on a hunt for pineapple buns with butter that are as good as this place but I haven't been successful. I also got their garlic bread, but I think you can skip it. It's very crispy and big, but not particularly notable. You should try their Portuguese egg tarts though, especially if you see that they're fresh out of the oven! They also sell hot and cold drinks here, like almond drink. Don't be shocked if the workers display an attitude... this is a well-known problem among HK service workers, so don't take it personally.

Then, slurp up the soup and savor the dumpling. Eat it with your eyes closed and dream of fairies dancing on Mount Emei in a sea of clouds.... Also, be sure to order the rice roll wrapped around a crispy fried bread stick with shrimp inside. I don't know how they do it because when you steam a rice roll, the bread stick inside will get soggy. They must've fried the crispy bread stick with shrimp inside, then wrapped the steamed rice roll around it afterwards. The rice roll must've been cooked separately. It is soft outside because of the rice roll, then crunchy inside, but with a savory shrimp center. Atmosphere (**** out of *****); Average large Hong Kong restaurant. Service (***** out of *****); The waitresses will check up on you often. This is unusual for a Hong Kong restaurant. Most of them just take your order and then drop off food. However, the waitresses here are unusually service oriented. As a result, I usually tip them 20% instead of the usual 10% customary here in Hong Kong. Conclusion (***** out of *****); The tally is 5 stars due to the exquisite food and crazy low prices. They always have different specials every month with half price dishes. Also, certain times of day has special priced dishes, too. There's no English menu so be sure to bring a Chinese speaking friend. It is worth the commute across the harbor to dine here.
