3/5 stars Oh…read moregod..another Michelin starred restaurant... Expensive for what it is..expect to pay about $40/head for barely any food. It appears to me that people use this restaurant more for business meetings/networking. Hong Kong must be giving out Michelin stars like they are yelp stars ;) haha Anyhow, again, I don't understand why The Boss is a Michelin starred restaurant to be honest. Nothing was special about this place---maybe there is sitting area and you don't feel rushed like other typical HK restaurants, but the food was okay. I would not come back. The only item that REALLY stood out was their black truffle noodles (see pic).

The Boss, a name that gives you an impression of a place that only executives visit. Yes, it's…read morequite true. The ambience of this Michelin star restaurant does make it quite a decent restaurant if you're looking for a quiet dim sum place for business lunch. A la carte dim sum costs around $50-80 per dish, which is about double the price as a regular dim sum restaurant. Some of the recommended dim sum are baked barbecued pork buns (with pineapple bun crust), turnip cake with XO sauce and pan-fried rice rolls with XO sauce. I find that their lunch rice and noodle dishes are of better value. If the dim sum are not enough, I suggest you order some noodles or rice to full you up. Some of the fancier dishes are fried rice or noodles with black truffle. They have executive lunch menu with selected dim sum, soup, stir fried dishes and fried rice or noodles which starts at $200+ per person, which costs more or less the same as ordering a la carte dim sum and a dish of rice or noodles for sharing. Overall, the food, the service and ambience is great. The Boss claims that they do not use any MSG or artificial food coloring. The only reason why I am not rating this 5 stars is because I'm not a big fan of fancy dim sum with a modern twist. Too much delicacy like truffle and bird's nest on traditional dim sum isn't really my thing. I guess to become a Michelin star restaurant, owners and chefs must be creative to attract a crowd who are willing to pay more for dim sum.

Also, the tables are placed close to each other, so don't plan to have a too private conversation in this place. One of the best places for dim sum and char siu I swear! Also their signature dish "The crystal shrimp with Chinese cured ham" cannot be missed. As I type, my mouth starts watering already... Succulent shrimp with the perfect texture drizzled with flavorful stock served with a piece of decadent Chinese golden cured ham. Words and photos don't do it justice. Just go try it! Another must-order dish is the Chinese BBQ pork with rice. Honestly I'm not a fan of Chinese BBQ pork (char siu 叉燒), guess I ate some bad ones (very common) and I was scarred. But my mom told me it's really good here so I was like what the heck I'd try it. I ended up finishing the plate of char siu... The pork was tender and flavorful, and the honey sauce was the perfect hint of sweetness, not to mention the rice was delicious too! On to the dim sum... Some of the dim sum was just okay, nothing to write home about, but there were four that I highly, highly recommend. 1) Golden deep-fried dumpling with meat and veggies (咸水角) - crispy, sweet and salty, buttery pork and crunchy veggies as filling 2) Shrimp dumpling (蝦餃) - this is really the best shrimp dumpling I've had, and I had a lot of dim sum in my lifetime. Thin, chewy, soft and not-too-sticky clear wrapping completely filled with tightly-packed, perfectly seasoned and succulent shrimps. They are not stingy with the shrimps! 3) Crispy sesame mochi dumpling tart - everything I love about Chinese desserts morphed into one item, how can I not love it? The idea was great, and the execution was even better. On top of that lengthy description, may I add buttery too? 4) Red date glutinous cake - We didn't plan to order that, but we saw the diners right next to us raving about it, so what the heck let's get that too. Wow! So good! I love red dates and they turned those into a sweet sticky cake dessert! If you love sticky food, this is for you. I'd love to go back again for all of the above and try some new ones!

If you ask me to recommend a good Chinese restaurant in Sheung Wan district, Tim's Kitchen has to…read morebe the one. Tim's kitchen has several signature dishes, including the roast suckling pig and the crystal King prawn. The suckling pig is no doubt one of the best I've ever tried. As for the crystal King prawn, you cannot miss this and you will never forget how tasty a prawn can be after you eat this one. To start with, I recommend the appetizing chilled marinated wood fungus. Sometimes they even give you a complimentary dish of century eggs with baby ginger. Other dishes I recommend are the sweet and sour pork and the fried glutinous rice with Chinese sausages. For dessert, the almond tea is really yummy. (When I say it's really good, it is really good as I'm never a big fan of Chinese dessert soup.) Be aware that some of the dishes require ordering one day in advance. Check their menu on the website to see what you need to pre-order.

I have booked from overseas a month before with deposit. The communication with restaurant was…read moregood. Roy was quick and courteous. Service was 5/5! The location was easy to find but it was confusing to get to the right floor. Even when the address listed as the 3/f of the hotel, you have to find the specific elevator to access that floor. The hotel elevators did not have access to the restaurant and there were no sign to let customers know about that. All of the guests at my table needed to get on multiple elevator rides to get to the restaurant. The suckling pig was very tasty! The best I have had. The turtle soup was good but I didn't find it as impressive as other dishes. The sea cucumber were also amazing and tender. The only complaint I would have is that normally Chinese restaurants provide dessert at the end, with the expensive menu, this place didn't offer any. It left a void in the experience.

Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5…read morePrice: 5/5 Atmosphere: 5/5 Really delicious upscale restaurant that specializes in suckling pig. The service was incredible and the food was amazing. Everything we got was delicious. It is a little pricey, compared to other restaurants in Hong Kong, but totally worth it. You do have to order the suckling pig in advance so make sure to give them a call or message them through WeChat / WhatsApp. Suckling Pig: *5/5*: The skin was perfectly crispy and fatty. They serve it with fluffy steamed bread (mantou) with hoisin sauce and sugar on the side. It sounds weird putting sugar on it, but definitely recommend trying. They serve five dishes with the pork: crispy skin, pork meat, soup, pork intestines, and forgot what the last one was. Walnut Shrimp: *5/5*: The shrimp pieces were huge and fried perfectly. This was one of my favorite dishes. Do wish it was a little sweeter but that's just my person preference. Loved it! Stir Fried Lobster: *5/5*: If you love lobster, this is a must order. The sauce was perfectly coating the lobster and it's so so good.

When I first found out about this restaurant, I was skeptical and thought it was just about the…read moreaesthetics. The restaurant had changed its name a few years ago yet maintained the same great quality it did years ago. It is still in the same location as it's previous life and conveniently located right off the Shek Mun MTR Station. The lines are usually quite long and you have to grab a number by the entrance to queue up. Shatin Cafe has great weekly lunch deals that come with a hot drink, which can also be upgraded to a cold drink for just +6HKD. The menu is vast with food items ranging from an all day breakfast (toast, western toast, eggs, buns,) to stir fried dishes, from oven-baked meals to curry rice plates, macaroni soups and noodle soups to pan fried noodles and fried rice. The options are amazing and the chefs always cook with wok hei. Servers are very quick and get orders out ASAP from their very busy kitchen. The tables are actually quite large and comfortable compared to the typical HK cafe/eatery. With both booths and tables available, they don't skip a beat with seating guests either you are dining solo or with a companion/a group. They also give you free soup of the day for every meal for order until it runs out. It is usually a Chinese style soup or a Western style soup like vegetable soup in tomato broth base. Both delicious! The curry chicken baked rice, pork chop baked rice with egg. fish with black bean sauce, pork belly and soy puffs with bean curd rice, yeung chow fried rice, and more are all great dishes to recommend. The bakery is located on the right of the cafe where you can order for to-go or just enjoy some items as you dine in. Their pandan egg tarts and pineapple buns with a huge slab of butter are epic. They also do 30% off your bakery items if you visit after 1630 in the afternoon. Do not skip these items! They take cash, credit, and now Octopus as payment too (they only started doing this since their name change)...new ownership I do not know but the food and drink quality remains the same level which is what I really care about. The prices are somewhat higher with inflation but still completely understandable.

That's too bad, because they have always been a good restaurant at mid-high prices with good service, especially if they know you or someone in your party. The traditional Chinese soups they offer is well prepared, the BBQ meats good quality, and the dishes in general well prepared with fresh ingredients. But where this place is special is that I will forever remember it as the restaurant where I ate the last meal with Mom. We visited her in November 2017 to celebrate her birthday - and it was a joyous event; the next morning, she passed away suddenly - followed abruptly by two more deaths in our extended family. Three funerals in 8 days over two continents feels surreal even now.

The tasting menus look great, but I am not hungry enough to have a multi-course menu so I ordered a chicken and fish maw soup and a wagyu beef and foie gras fried rice in claypot. The meal started with a honey walnut snack and an amuse bouche of mini osmanthus cake. The chicken and fish maw soup was delicious and very filling, so I was halfway full by the time I finished eating it. I believe the restaurant calls it "Eight Treasures Soup" in English probably because there are 8 unique ingredients in it. The fried rice is so well made with a well-balanced portion of Wagyu beef and foie gras. I could smell the lovely fragrance of both the soup and the fried rice as soon as they were brought to the table. Service is also exemplary as the waiter and waitress were always attentive and quick when I needed their service. I highly recommend trying this restaurant for a superb Chinese cuisine dining experience.

We got mango sago for dessert as it's a popular Cantonese dessert, which was nice but not the star of the show. Service was polite, fast, and English-friendly.
