The service is absolutely impeccable (a rarity in Kowloon) and the Shanghai-style food is amazing (flavor and presentation).

Although the place was busy, but the staff was cheerful in attending our needs and taking orders. We ordered pig hoof in Chinese wine (川香麻醬豬手) - each bite of the hoof with skin was crisp and with no fatty taste; grainy beef with mushroom (香茶菇爆牛肉) - the beef was tender and soft with the right combination of mushroom; braised spinach (上湯菠菜)- very soft and no bitter taste; stewed fish fillets in rice wine sauce (糟溜魚片) - was fresh, tasty, and excellent addition of soft cloud ear; and minced chicken with pine nuts wrapped in lettuce (松子雞米生菜包)- each bite of warm chicken wrapped in the cold, crips, and fresh lettuce was just heavenly! Desserts included traditional mung bean cake (傳統綠豆糕) and mango juice with pomelo and fresh mango (楊枝甘露) - highly recommended! The above five dish menu was good for a group of five people. We left without an overwhelming feeling. The diligent staff -servers and managers, did add to an excellent dining experience!

The food is decent and is not a bad choice if you want to have dumplings and you are in the area. My rating is based on the following: Food: 3.5 stars Atmosphere: 3 stars Value: 3 stars This place gets really busy during lunch times so try to get here before 12:30. There is no lunch set so this restaurants better suited if you go with a group of people and share a set of dishes. They do have a afternoon tea set which I have yet to try.

Ashima is a good restaurant, but wow is it awkward to access. The main entrance is along the…read moreoutside of the mall, while an unofficial entrance is also located right next to the bathrooms. This place makes excellent noodles of both the fried and soup kind, and they offer very flavourful side dishes too! I wouldn't order Xiaolongbao here (that's Shanghainese, and there's better stuff in the menu anyway...), but you should definitely try the different kinds of buns and snacks. For the more adventurous diners, the pig ears here are very well seasoned and tender, yet slightly chewy. Their pan fried green onion bread (蔥油餅) was impressive, seeing as it it had a light crunch to it, thanks to the sesame seeds on top, and the fragrance of the green onion was well balanced. Prices overall are also quite reasonable, but if you choose to eat early, I.e. around 5, come a little earlier and order off the tea time menu for extra value. Service may not always be the speediest, but the food generally makes up for it.

If you are near here, eat here!…read more We were the only westerners in the restaurant, which gives a good hint about local quality. The menu had a LOT of items, each numbered and with short descriptions in English. Everything was, as you'd expect, served family style. We had the hot and sour soup, some veggie dumplings, shredded beef with vegetables, shrimp in chili sauce, all served with tea. Each was fantastic! Seriously. Not good. Not great. Fantastic! There was enough soup for four, which magically disappeared from our table for two. We cleaned every plate, and not because the servings were anything short of generous. The service was also great, while a bit hovering as they seemed worried about how we might handle everything. For one, I was happy they noticed us struggling while making a mess trying to shell the shrimp, bringing us a knife and fork (and extra wet-wipes). Interesting to me, this was the first time we each had two sets of chopsticks. Thankfully, the internet quickly taught us that one set was for serving ourselves from the community plates, and the other for eating. Don't use the eating pair for serving or the serving pair for eating -- it is bad form, especially with COVID being so huge here. Note: they are happy to bring serving spoons, forks and knives if you ask (or appear hopeless). My other mistake, in addition to the shrimp peeling fiasco, was not tipping. When I saw the 10% service fee, and knowing tipping is totally optional and not expected in Hong Kong (and most of SE Asia), I still should have left a bit more, especially considering how helpful they were.

This place makes some pretty good dumplings from scratch and you must also try their dau fu fa (bean curd dessert), It was very fresh, smooth and tasty. The pan-fried pork and beef buns were good as well. Their soy bean drink wasn't bad but I just prefer a stronger taste of soy beans. Their service is fast. Will definitely come back to try some other of their menu items.

I went here last here on my visit to HK and this was the one restaurant I wanted to return to this year. Not only were the Xiao long baos filled with juice, but so were the potstickers. Be careful when eating because my dad bit into one and it sprayed juice all over his sweater! The pork chop was- big and moist. I can't believe the pork chop noodles was about $10 USD. When we got back to the US, my daughter said she was craving those noodles! I like that the minimum orders for the xiao long baos is four and the potstickers is three so you don't have to order too much. The restaurant was very clean and modern. A hidden gem!

My favorite meal during our stay in Hong Kong!…read more We arrived a few minutes before they opened at 11:30am. They had lots of tables available. They gave us an English menu and we were starving so we ordered a bunch of things. Everything was pretty delicious, but a couple items really stood out: XIAO LONG BAO - The best xiao long bao I've ever had. The skin was thin and delicate and the filling and soup were so savory and delicious. I had two and ordered another set just for me. I didn't even really need the sauce. :D PAN FRIED POTSTICKERS - This was super tasty and juicy inside, but watch out.. it's HOT! SPICY CHILI WONTONS - Not spicy, but the chili sauce was super flavorful. This restaurant wasn't in our itinerary, but I'm so glad we decided to go here. We were all extremely happy with the meal.
