After a morning of playing basketball, we were ready for some grub. We settled on Tai Hang because…read morethere would be something for everybody and there wasn't a wait. Although consistent at all of their branches, I wouldn't say the food at Tai Hing is my favorite. It's way too expensive for what you get. This time I had the beef brisket curry, and the lunch set was $65! It was just the curry, rice and a drink. The flavor of the curry was pretty good, but again, not worth the money.

Service: Busy at lunch time on a weekend so they were a bit slow, so we would need to get up and…read moreask them to help us. Food: I had the beef with flat noodles, wet-style as part of the lunch set. I was AMAZED how tender their beef was. Not tough at all. Their veggies in the dish (choy sum) were also not chewy either. Large portion size so I managed to eat about 80% of the dish only. Price: The quality of food was good, but prices were higher than you could get at a local place with similar food. With a drink, the set was about $70.

Really underrated place located in a fancy-looking office building in Siu Sai Wan. This is where…read moreall the local employees go for lunch, and the lines are always, always out the door. We came here on Monday by accident, and went back every single day of the work week. There's just no beating it in terms of price, taste, and portion size. The items are all pretty much under 40hkd, and there are just so many options. You could eat here for a whole month and barely try half the menu. There's a bbq section where you can get char siu pork or roast duck over rice. Or order up something from the menu and drop it off at the kitchen for them to cook it for you. The portions are great and because they are so busy, everything is fresh made and tastes great. Just a solid restaurant overall.

So far, this has been one of the better cha caan tengs in Quarry Bay that I've been able to find…read more Their menu includes a wide variety of soup noodles and rice dishes. I ordered their lunch special of curry beef brisket with rice and a yin yang (coffee and milk tea). The curry wasn't too spicy and there was a healthy portion of beef brisket in it. The brisket was also tender. The yin yang was decent but nothing to rave about. The lunch set was about $43, which is about average for a lunch set. There is plenty of seating which is filled with white collared patrons from the nearby offices. The service is fast and along the lines of don't bother me and I won't bother you. I will probably come back here if I'm looking for a quick lunch option.

I find the food there to be quite good and quite a number of options…read more Service: They are efficient at what they do and take your order quickly (may need to flag them down during busy hours). My food has always come out accurately so their efficiency has not made them lose accuracy. Food: I like what I've had, which has included steamed fish with rice. I've also had black bean sauce spareribs with bell peppers and onions over thick rice noodles (ho fun) and it was quite good as well. Price: Prices are quite reasonable here with options on the $30+/40+ range.

I prefer their breakfast over lunch / dinner - there are freshly baked pastries and options like truffle scrambled eggs croissant and Eggs Benedict for breakfast. Eggs are poached perfectly, which is a rarity in Kowloon. Comfortable seating, lovely staff.

If you're looking for a general, across the boards review of Oliver's, this won't be of much help…read morebecause there's only one thing I eat at Oliver's - and that's their baked potatoes. Okay, I have tried a little of some of their other stuff - I've had a bit of some kind of pasta which my mother ordered when I was younger, but I've never ordered anything but the potato here myself before. It's not to say that their baked potatoes are amazing - they're actually a hit-or-miss, but when they are a hit, they're pretty good. I usually either go for sour cream baked potato when I'm feeling a little plain Jane, or for the smoked salmon and egg salad one when I feel a little hungrier. When I say that they're a hit or miss, it's because sometimes, the potatoes are served freshly baked and steaming hot, so all is well, but sometimes, it's served just warm, making the taste of the potato quite underwhelming. In my opinion, a baked potato that's eaten just warm is a baked potato that's wasted. There's no fun in eating a baked potato that's only at room temperature. But on the occasions where the stars are all aligned and the universe has decided to cut you a break - i.e. the potato is served hot, it tastes really, really good. The sour cream is cold so it tastes great against the hot potato. The smoked salmon and egg salad one is actually better in my opinion, though they're quite skimpy with the smoked salmon - expect tiny pieces, and not a lot of them too. The egg salad tastes pretty good and there's an even mix between the whites and yolks. Overall, it's hard to say that the potatoes here are amazing because sometimes they're served at room temperature and therefore not so good. I don't have much to say about the other items on the menu, of course, but since this is kind of a fast food place I wouldn't expect things like the pastas and the sandwiches to be fantastic.

The price is kind of expensive since the amount of food was not too much. Oliver's Super Sandwiches…read moreis obviously famous for it's sandwiches. But mine also had a roasted potato with cheese and I even liked it more than its sandwiches...

My meal arrived very quickly, but I waited more than 20 minutes for my hot lemon tea to arrive. I then realize they had it on the counter but no waiter/waitress bring me. So I get up and get myself. They should hire more waiter/waitress... when I go there was only 1 or 2.

It's pronounced Agnes "Bay", like in French. Taiwanese 1 - 0 Hong Kongers this time…read more For all these years, I never got the hype of Agnes b. in Asia. It's never a big name out there in French or the rest of the world. It's like the fashion-equivalent of Michael Learns to Rock. People in Hong Kong really love it back in early 2000s, and now I barely know anyone that likes this brand in particular. Now Agnes b. may or may not notice the same, but they have their strategy - leverage its brand, and diversify. This particular shop is a cafe and a florist. While the food is nothing near amazing or authentic, and the flowers at the florist is just above par (hey I have a high standard), the decor makes up for everything and some more. It's enough to attract first timers but not enough to keep returning customers. Which, ironically, is perfect on Gough Street, while nowadays consists of only tourists and hipsters. Agnes b. is too mainstream to attract hipsters anyway compared to other shops, and you don't really have to care about returning tourists... so yeah, it can and probably will excel very well here but I have other options for sure.

Yep! Food is really good. The ambiance is comfortable and serene, and its on the very cool Gough…read morestreet ;)

It's a nice and quiet outdoor restaurant with a fair amount of drinks and HH options. However, on this particular day they were not serving any cocktails, which was a bummer. I can't say much about food since we only stuck with drinks. But by the looks of their menu, it appears they serve some light bites. Staff was welcoming and accommodating. Overall, we have a nice time!

Solid happy hour deals on both drinks and food made this place worth visiting. The open air rooftop…read morebar made it worth staying for a second round. Well, that and the fact that happy hour runs until 8.30pm so we had time for another. The rundown: 2x Mojitos - my dining companion said they were strong and good and her first one had her ordering a second 1x Raspberry daquiri - delightfully fruity and nicely strong 1x Mac's Great White Wheat Beer - your average witbeer, pairs well with fried foods -- 1x fried calamari happy hour snack - fairly small portion, appreciably soft and tender calamari but batter a bit undercooked (should have asked for them extra crispy). The tomato sauce dip was also nice 1x onion rings happy hour snack - delicious (and did ask for them extra crispy). The honey mustard dip floated my boat but my companion deemed it disgusting It was great to see the sun set over Causeway Bay and the wicker chairs on the terrace were surprisingly comfortable. I'd come again even though the signature LED roses do not please me.
