1 MOST HELPFUL…read more MOST RECENT STAR RATING Steve Beamer reviewed Ilis -- 5 star 10 mins ·  This small restaurant, one block away from Austin Road near the Jordon MTR stop was really great. The food was excellent, the staff was attentive and friendly. Advertised as Western Fusion, we had a large group of family from the USA, Hong Kong, and Singapore so we got a chance to try many dishes. We started with some chicken wings, clams, oysters, escargot and scallops as appetizers and all were really fresh and tasty. The spices were done very well. We had a salad with mixed mushrooms following the appetizers, and two soups - pumpkin and cream of mushrooms. The pumpkin soup nicely surprised us with little lumps of crabmeat. Then we had main courses of Yellowtail, Lamb Shank, NY Strip steak and Carbonara. I can see why the Carbonara is one of their signature dishes as the kids were fighting over the last strand of spaghetti. Since we had a large group, our meal was served for sharing so everyone got to try each dish. However the restaurant offered several set menus ranging in price. To finish, we had creme brulee, green tea lava cake and chocolate lava cake. Overall, we had a great time, the food was great, service was excellent, nice atmosphere and decor. A great little gem tucked away just off the main road. Very good value for the price paid.

It has been patronized by HK celebrities and movie stars. As usual, a reservation in advance on weekend must. When we got there, it's so busy already. We got seated right the way, however, it's so cozy with other table. The menu was well-printed and selections of food with pictures were great! The service was good but a bit slow side. Crispy deep fried tofu with house special sauce - One of the chef's signature dishes, the tofu outside so crispy and inside so smooth and soft. Delicious! The house special sauce a bit at sweet side, it's tasty. Pork ribs with rice cracker in strawberry sauce - Pork ribs braised perfectly and fusion with strawberry sauce was creative in Chinese cuisine . Stir fried Pea sprout - It's was good but not great. Pea sprout wasn't fresh and a bit overcooked. Rack of lamb in curry sauce - The rack of lambs seasoned well and deep fried a bit to make it crispy. It mixed with curry sauce would cover the gamy taste. Steamed seafood fried rice with lotus leaf - It's simple but really satisfied our stomach. Overall, all the dishes were good. I would say all the hype coz the HK celebrities and stars.

It looked like the restaurant was about to close. However, upon ordering and getting the food, it was SO good! Had a simple noodle dish with chicken and the flavor was out of this world! It was located in the Ocean Terminal mall, close to the pier. A parking garage is located there, but just as good to Uber there or just walk. The restaurant is in the corner of the mall and the tables are in an open area. Not a ton of tables, it was closing time. So unsure of the crowds during peak hours. The staff was helpful, but it was slightly difficult to communicate with them. It took a bit of effort to show and explain what we wanted. But it worked out! Would definitely recommend trying it out!

Mak's Noodle is very good. One of my goals of visiting HK was to eat a good bowl of wonton noodles…read more Although Mak's isn't the best, they did satisfy. I prefer non-chain, smaller establishments with local favor. This branch is located inside the Harbour City mall on the Kowloon side. We had their vegetables w/oyster sauce $47 ($6 USD), wonton noodles $53 ($6.79 USD) and beef brisket with tendons $130 ($16 USD.) Everything tasted great. Service was excellent. The restaurant was full with a short five minute wait at noon on a weekday.

This restaurant is a bit out of the way and the kind of place you wouldn't know about unless you knew a local. I learned of this spot from my aunt who lives in HK and has brought me here for dinner a couple times. The storefront does not have an English name so you will need to look for the Chinese title. Look for a red color sign. The restaurant interior has a feel of a hole in the wall. When you enter, grab a table if there is one open. Though be forewarned that you might need to share it if the restaurant fills up. It is best to get in early (5-ish) before the crowd at dinner time. There isn't an English menu, so it helps if you come here with a Chinese speaker. But there are menu item photos plastered over the wall so you could simply point to what you want here. The signature menu item here are their dan dan noodles. They are also a very good deal since it is just HK$24. This dish is spicy, though you can ask for a less spicy version but it is a bit watered down in flavor. On my recent trip, I had a few other items in addition to the dan dan noodles and all four of them were great. They have this fried fish appetizer which are crunchy that I couldn't get enough of. Then there were the two Sichuanese standards, chili green beans with ground beef and ma po tofu. The green beans were nice and crisp with plenty of garlic and chili pepper. The ma po tofu was silky and comforting. They also have xiaolongbao here which are HK$50 for an order of 8. For a restaurant that does not specialize in Shanghai cuisine, I thought these were quite good. Not the best I have had, but solid. The service is great here. And the chef was quite accommodating despite all of the special requests we had. The restaurant is a bit off the beaten path, but if you are looking for good Sichuanese food, Wing Lai Yuen is worth seeking out.

She used to live in this neighborhood when she was a child and this was one of her favorite restaurants back then. It's very popular among the locals and there are hardly any foreigners. I've been living in China for over 6 months but this Sichuan restaurant serves more delicious food than what I had in Mainland! I especially liked their 擔擔麵 (dandanmian) and 小籠包 （this is not really 川菜 but who cares? 好吃！）, so good! 不錯！For desserts, I recommend 炸銀絲卷 (sweet fried bread which is crunchy on the outside, you eat it with a condensed milk like dip), 雷沙湯圓 (hot mochi with black sesame cream inside) , and 豆沙鍋餅 (Awesome pancake with sweet red bean paste! H-A-O-C-H-I!! ) Fast, inexpensive, & delicious. Highly recommended!

Dining with a view…read more.. Moon Moon Restaurant is located in the Hong Kong Jockey Club and since a local friend who took us around the island is a member at this club though it'd be the perfect spot for lunch and indeed it really was. Though there was no race scheduled for this day there was a group playing field hockey which I don't know how it works but is nice to see a bit of activity regardless as we have a Birdseye view of the field. The restaurant is quite large and am impressed of how clean a vibrant the vibe is as many seem to enjoy dining here and the view itself is just to relaxing and stunning versus a sold wall is just very airy and refreshing. We were treated to a wonderful meal as Andrew ordered for us which I know is difficult considering many do have a variety of palate including myself and another person having a shellfish allergy is so greatly appreciated. Honestly as it all was a complete blur even though he mentioned everything that was ordered they all instantly dove in along with endless hot tea that really balanced it all was just spectacular and an excellent choice for us to enjoy and take the glory that Hong Kong has to offer. Thank. you!

Dimsum lunch in Hong Kong…read more.. Our friend, Andrew, is a member of the Jockey Club. His grandfather and father were also members. He wanted to take us to lunch here. Only one vehicle per member is allowed to park in the structure. Andrew's wife had to park their second van "very far away". Uhg... Andrew ordered for us and kept in mind that two people in our party of ten have shrimp allergy. I couldn't take photos of every dish because most of our group are non-Yelpers and they were very hungry. We enjoyed items such as crispy dried noodles with sauce on the side to keep the noodles crunchy; deep fried spring rolls with black Truffle; shrimp dumplings; cha siu bao; deep fried mochi with duck filling (hom sui gok); and steamed honey sponge cake. Service was accommodating - especially when forks were requested for people who don't use chopsticks. We also asked for the beef balls, spring rolls, and hom siu gok to be cut in half because they were shareable. Teapots were filled with hot water upon request. We're lucky that Andrew took us to this exclusive restaurant with a spectacular view of the race track! Thank you so much for an enjoyable lunch!

FAST and cheap ! great for dinner or late night gatherings for some food and beer. What makes this place different from most restaurants is their kitchen is OUTSIDE. When you are near by, you WILL hear the ROARING flame of the fire from the individual wok areas they have. My family in HK had brought us here for dinner during our visit in April 2016. We had just came here just early enough before the rush. We got a table almost instantly. Yes this place still has lots of outdoor seating but what surprised me is how brightly lit and clean the interior areas were as well. Whats funny is ive ate next door before this place existed 10 years ago. XD Same concept place. You can go around and view the chef's working their magic with the wok on the volcano of a stove. Some will even particularly give you some extra "show". It makes them happy some people are still interested. We had ordered a few things. honey sauce/glazed pork chops, deep fried pig intestine, stuffed fried tofu and eggplants, steamed garlic shrimp, deep fried milk fish, malaysia style on choy, and salted egg & garlic yin choy. To my surprise though not too surprised... my favs were (in no particular order) the deep fried milk fish, deep fried pig intestine, and steamed garlic shrimp. Pork chops. Nothing too special. sweet savoryish sour sauce with pork chop. Deep fried pork intestine - not special but something i havent had in a long time so it was nice and tasty XD Fried stuffed eggplant and tofu - nothing too special, similar to what i make at home too. Salted egg with garlic yin choy - not so common vegetable in the state but still available. this particular one had red leaves too. ive only seen the green leaved version. Simple dish in a broth. Nice and light Malaysia style on-choy - to be honest, not sure what the sauce is. But ive noticed the malaysia style tends to have dried baby shrimp and chili. Lol Steamed garlic shrimp - simple. TONS of garlic. though i expected the shrimp to be bigger in comparison to the picture that was on the wall. but omg so tasty. THAT GARLIC *drools* om nom nom hahaha Deep fried milk fish - recommendation from my uncle. Ive never had it. Boneless (but as with all fish, id still be careful anyway). Lightly battered. Deep fried. The fish was light. Batter was crispy but light. It was really done well. Definitely a recommendation from me to others. Overall. Great place to eat at. As said, one of the last few left. If you are one who has been raised in the states, you may not like the chairs being plastic stools and you need to clean your own utensils and stuff. This particular location is a lot cleaner than i remember these places to be so im quite surprised. Especially the area it is in. Their order to table times are ridiculous. We had our entire order even faster than sometimes even one dish coming out in the states. Benefits of this style of cooking. SUPER fast. I've been told this place ONLY opens at night but i swear i heard the flame roaring mid-day another day when we were walking around near-by.
