I am a huge fan of Japanese food and seafood, so when I heard about a Japanese Crab restaurant, I…read morewas beside myself. I know that sounds exaggerated, but my stomach is very influential upon my moods. The first time we tried to find this restaurant, we got lost and wound up getting there right when it closed. Disheartened, we almost gave up on it since Wan Chai was so far from Sha Tin (4 MTR lines to get there). On the very last day, we decided to try again and I am so glad we did! Despite the fact that we didn't have reservations, the staff very kindly let us dine in one of their private rooms upstairs. The private room was fantastic both for the overall experience and for the kids. Service was very attentive without being intrusive. The wait staff took great care in informing us how to cook and/or eat each item. We ordered 3 lunch sets (3 adults, 2 children). One executive set ($500(?) HKD) including crab tempura, crab shabu shabu, grilled edamame, chuwanmushi, and veggies, one Wagyu set ($150 HKD) including wagyu beef and udon, and one Crab Rice set ($180 HKD) with Matsuba crab / salmon roe and the crab tsukane. Each dish was beautifully presented, incredibly fresh, and oh so tasty. I would highly recommend this restaurant for the food, service, and experience.

You know how one gets the meat sweats? Well...if it were true, I would probably get Crab sweats! ....ew.. Moving on, my friends know what a huge crab fanatic I am so they were so nice to take me to a restaurant that was especially crab focused. This place is absolutely, most definitely, completely, TOTALLY, a heaven for crab lovers like myself. Kanizen is a Japanese restaurant that focuses on the different ways to eat Japanese horse-hair crab and mainly Tabara crab. We chose the pre-fixed dinner for two and it had about 7 courses. Just thinking about this meal has got me salivating at my laptop. (Metaphorically) Once you walk in the dimly lit restaurant, you see a pond with ENORMOUS crabs just chilling. The size of these things are quite shocking. I let my waitress know that I wasn't able to finish the whole thing and she assured me that I can, she was, of course, absolutely right. First came out cold crab meat with UNI and tempura fried egg on top. Heavenly, the egg yolk was runny and ran down my crab meat. The crab meat was sweet and perfect. Next came out the crab legs, which I love. Every course was spectacular. My favourite of all was the crab congee you make or can ask the staff to make for you. It was the perfect ending to my crab meal. I was so satiated and I cannot wait to go back.

This was my favorite meal on my entire trip to Hong Kong, a city where Michelin-starred restaurants…read moreare a dime a dozen. A little hole in the wall, a seafood restaurant that doesn't sell seafood...wait, what was that? Ah Shun does not sell seafood. No - they *cook* seafood. You supply the seafood. I came quite nervous about all this; I don't know Cantonese very well and I don't know the area. And yet, it was all so simple. One of the owners simply escorted me to the local fish market, and together we filled up two bags of live fish, shrimp, and clams (approx. $100). Back at the restaurant, I just took a seat as the cooks did their thing, turning out three excellent, simple dishes (approx. $200). The experience was both surreal and comforting, and made the trek to Cheung Chau the most memorable day of the trip. If I could, I would go here again and again!

With his deep knowledge about seasonal ingredients and his fun approach of sauces, Eddy constantly gives me and my guests surprises to our palettes. If I had to name the dish that wowed everyone, it must be Hokkaido salmon fish roe sushi. From Chef Eddy, we learned that fresh salmon roe is only available for two weeks of the year. We felt incredibly lucky to have savored this sushi's crunchy exterior and its flavorful juice. The next restaurant you should bring your family and friends to? Of course, it is IE Sushi & Teppanyaki.

Everything served was up to standard as according to it's listing price I would say. Don't hesitate to ask for advice if you want!

I would give waiter 5 out of 5 marks here for their good service:) It is with no doubt one of the best in town that serves food with quality. However if you are looking for a place for fine dinning, I would suggest you to some other fancy places as it is other cozy and a better place for friends or family dinner.

This is another staple for me when I am back in town. The oyster selection here is wide and if you…read morefancy other dishes they have Japanese sashimi, fried/grilled oysters, pasta, pizza, rice/noodle/porridge, lamb racks, steak, you name it! My parents and I always get a bottle of champagne to share, the sashimi platter, uni, a dozen oysters, lamb racks or some other hot dish. In terms of oysters, I like ones that are more creamy and big, so my favorite must-get oyster is the Ostra Regal (France--salt water). If you don't like salty-oysters, I recommend trying one from Eagle Rock (America).

Why do I only give 3 Stars? The staff is to busy and not proactive.

Growing up in the US, we used to have seafood boils all the time, so imagine our delight when we…read morediscovered this place. You'll want to focus on the seafood here, although it should be noted that there are other menu items for people who don't enjoy seafood. A must-order item is the seafood boil, which (as you've probably guessed) is fresh seafood boiled with a blend of Cajun-style spices and then tossed with your choice of sauce. Each order requires a minimum of three kinds of seafood. We recommend the Dungeness crab, baby octopus and live crawfish with the "Mr. Crab Cajun Sauce" in medium spicy (we tried the mild before, but it didn't have enough of a kick to it). Service can be hit-or-miss depending on how busy the place is, and the air-conditioning can sometimes be on the cold side.

Tai O is a fishing village located on the western coast of Lantau Island, about a 40 minute ride by…read morebus (or 30 min by taxi) from Tung Chung MTR station. It is like a suburban "Venice" untouched by time. Minus the nasty pigeon poop on San Marcos Square, and US$20 cappucinos and $50 Bellini's. And probably one of the last surviving parts that are still doing a few things the old school way. If you think sun drying clothes is a bit too old world, then your nose may be offended when you smell the pungent dried and fermented shrimp blocks and shrimp pastes when you walk to the factory shops that sell this stuff! Salted fish has nothing on dried and fermented shrimp condiment. Vietnamese fish sauce comes close in that precious flavor profile. Ditto for Vietnamese style fermented fish flavoring used to season pork blood cubes. So if you are into that stuff, chances are you might appreciate fermented shrimp products here and feel right at home. So this restaurant eatery 大澳橫水渡小廚 in Tai O is much like most other places that offer home local style cooked food and dishes. It's not the best looking, but it can be quite remarkable if you know what to order. So much to eat so little time. Ended up braving this place and tried something very fermented, salty, proteiny, and carby. 咸鮮籠仔荷葉飯 (Ham seen lung hai hor yeep fan) 咸鮮 = salted freshness. Basically sun dried salted seafood 籠仔荷葉飯 = rice steamed in lotus leaf, in a bamboo steamer But what they actually put in we were quite surprised with What appeared to be pork jowl/pork cheek/pork neck, dried white fishlings, scallions, and of course fermented shrimp paste (and maybe some cooked/melted fermented shrimp block), and a believe a little bit of squid tentacles. The ingredients are not expensive, although this steamer cost HK$118 which a tad high. But you are getting an original taste of the land. This feeds 6 nicely if you are ordering a variety of dishes to try. Otherwise even one order split across 4 people is more than enough. Save your valuable quota for lots of other fantastic bites in the village.

The town was mostly shut down for the night (at 8 pm!) and there was really no where else to find dinner. We called Tai O Crossing Boat Restaurant to check if they were open, and they offered to stay open to accommodate us. We were greeting by an extremely friendly, charismatic man called "Uncle Ray" who chatted with us about everything from his time in the States to his children. We really enjoyed him! The food was delicious! We tried the flat noodles with beef, the steamed choi sum with pickled veggies, the steamed pork patty, and the young chow fried rice - every dish was great. I would highly recommend any of them! My only slight complaint is that the food was a bit expensive, but the service and taste made up for the slightly high prices.
