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.

Super silky and smooth, without a chewy skin. The salted egg yolk shrimps are coated evenly and the shells are edible! The mantis prawns are very juicy and fresh. I also loved the clams soup and the pork chops! Must haves: salted egg yolk shrimps, deep fried tofu, and mantis prawns. Prices are also very fair. Probably even cheaper than many other places that aren't as good! I saw a few michelin signs on the walls, but I'm not sure if it's referring to them or the alcohol they're promoting. But I do think their food is good enough to be Michelin!! It is quite a busy place so be sure to book a reservation!

Also known as "Hing Gung" (慶功), it literally means to celebrate and to reward the hard work the crew put into the show. Much like sik siu, since the eaters are of high exertion, the food would most naturally be as trashy as can be~ Healthy eaters might want to hit the return button now as the foods may be despicably fattening. Deep fried is almost the golden rule for every trashy food, even in Hong Kong; the famous shrimp toast is actually minced shrimp smeared on a piece of bread and deep fried to crunchy perfection; and you got it, the piece of bread is soaked with grease. To make it even more damaging, mayonnaise is served on the side for you to dip the toast in. Damaging as it seems, but it is also very gratifying and is often the dish that is cleared the soonest. Hing Gung is often an event of the nights and there aren't a lot of joint cater to this batch of customers at this time of the day. I still remember walking into this shop with the waiter asking us to wait outside the shop at 11 in the evening, while they were trying hard to rearrange the tables to sit the 15 of us down. For a restaurant that is still crowded towards midnight, you know they must have done something right.

Couple the fact they're located on one of the highest floors of iSQUARE (#1), this means one can enjoy their food and a view at the same time. Let's start with the dim sum. It's all very good. I have to give them kudos for high quality renditions of spring rolls, egg tarts, rice noodles crepes, shrimp dumplings, Malay sponge cake, and number of other items. The tea is good as well and for the most part, everything is high quality. Speaking of quality, the hot pot presentation is definitely IG worthy. More importantly, the broth for the Chinese herbal and mala were very clear and full of flavor. Sure, their a la carte ingredients are a tad spendy and somewhat portion challenged, it is still completely legit. Reservations are always recommended at places like this. There is no hard dress code per se, but I wouldn't recommend coming here dressed terribly. Service is always very good and super courteous. I would highly recommend coming here in a group because hot pot and dim sum are best enjoyed with others. ____________ (#1) A beastly mall in TST: http://www.yelp.com/biz/ECraV3C99IfQIrE_hCB9Ng

It is near the touristy areas, so you'll find more English on the menu. Not a bad choice for some noodle soup especially when you are in a pinch.
