Some of my family members in HK claimed it to be one of the best restaurants in Hong Kong. Certainly when I walked into the restaurant, I was amazed by their incredible interior and dining space, also had the view of the harbor. They have huge dining hall that easily fits few hundred guests. We ordered pearl shrimp dumplings, crab cake, roasted duck and waygu beef noodles soup for our meal. All the items had amazing flavor. Roasted duck had delicious crispy skin. I had never seen waygu beef in a soup dish before. The soup was mixed with vegetables, little spicy, but full of flavor. The service was top notch at the restaurant. All the staff members were super attentive, making sure water glasses/ tea cups were full all the time, cleaning out empty dishes and helping guests with all other requests. Dishes were served in short time, only the baked crab cake took long. The restaurant also gives 20% discount Marriott Bonvoy members. They also have some half priced dishes for Bonvoy members as well.

Service here is very good and Dynasty is a great choice for a date night or special occasion. I really enjoyed the food here as well. Some of the best deep fried dim sum I have had in HK. Food: 4.25 stars Service/environment: 4.75 stars Overall: 4.25 stars Recommendations: char siu, egg rolls, fried rice, daily soup, fried fish appetizer The lists of best char siu in Hk often includes Dynasty in the list. This distinction is well deserved and definitely something that should be ordered on your visit. The shrimp egg rolls here are really great as well as the small fried fish appetizer. They really know how to deep fry things here where the dishes are crispy and light. Do make sure to save room for dessert as the desserts here are also very good.

This restaurant was recommended to us by one of our tour guides in HK. We watched the Symphony of…read moreLights on the harbor and the restaurant was a short walk from where we were. It was a little hard to find and is located on the second floor of the building. When we got there, we were seated right away. It appeared to have mostly locals in it when we were there. The view seemed to be nice, but we were not seated by the windows. We ordered several things off of their menu including roast goose, fried rice, pork etc. Everything was cooked well but we were not too impressed by these dishes. We have had several of these dishes at different restaurants prior to coming here, and the dishes were much better at the other restaurants. We were not too impressed by the dinner. Overall, this was probably our least favorite place we ate at in HK and we probably wouldn't come back.

Dumplings to look like fish, Baked goose wrapped to look like a sleeping goose. We couldn't imagine how the food would be during regular restaurant hours. Before leaving Hong Kong we ate at their sister restaurant Maxim's at the airport- AWESOME!! The VIEW from this restaurant is extraordinary. Fabulous!! Awesome!! View of Hong Kong Harbor.

Yue is a big step up from your typical Chinese restaurant. The culinary precision and meticulous…read morepresentation bring it to the vicinity of fine dining, though I still hold Shang Dynasty as the ultimate Cantonese cuisine so refined it is fit for royalty. I tried to look up the items we ordered on the online menu, but for some reason I failed to identify anything because all the extensive names and big words sounded similar and the dishes seemed to blend into each other--so please bear with my unofficial food names and descriptions in this review. 1) I think the most unique item was the layered pudding with fish filet: not only is it award-winning, I also saw it featured on TV! The presentation of the aesthetic layers in the simple glass cup is ravishingly beautiful, and the TV program talked about how the chef uses a special technique to construct the layers. However I found the actual taste to be just alright; rather, I was primarily impressed by the fish filet. You know how when you get pork belly in your ramen, it's tiny but explosively delicious? That's what the fish filet was like--despite its modest size (and appearance) of a chicken nugget, it was melt-in-your-mouth savory heaven. Lastly is the mini asparagus garnish, which I didn't care too much for as it is primarily for looks, but I found myself amused because I don't think I've ever such chibi / ちび asparagus. 2) There was another award-winning fine-dining-esque item with another type of pudding and a piece of chicken. Although this one had no pretty layers, the chicken was equally mind-blowing. 3) We also got the specialty dim sum sampler. Again, the main specialty was presentation because the actual food ranged from okay to great. The 蝦餃 / shrimp dumpling was quite tasty with a delightfully thin dumpling skin and sat in an adorable mini dim sum steamer. The taro puff with fried taro nest was good too, with an interesting fluffy fried coating on the taro puff. However it was rather filling and the taro nest was too crunchy (let's hope that the crunching was much louder in my head than in reality). The last chicken thing was mainly for presentation; it was good but nothing earth-shattering; plus, I found it strange to eat a dessert shaped like a chicken because it seemed like it would be more fitting savory than sweet. 4) Lastly, we got two additional dim sums: the quality was good and I liked how they adhered to flavor profiles of traditional dim sum though some of the presentation and ingredients were novel. The ambiance is nothing all-out and completely out of the ordinary, but it was nice and comfortable. Food-wise I think Shang Palace may have an edge on culinary prowess, but Yue does not disappoint and it certainly seems to have an expertise in presentation.

The food is fine, provided that this is normally a Chinese restaurant and effort has been made to provide a variety of bite size food to make the cocktail party interesting.

This is one of the places I have to visit during my stay in Hong Kong for breakfast, snack time, and/or dinner. One of the dimsum you must try is the Rice Roll with Crispy Shrimp. The rice roll is thin and the crispy shrimp added a nice contrast. Also, try the Radish Cakes serve with chili sauce and Chicken Feet. The opening hours for this place are from 730AM-11PM. Also, 5HKD is automatically added to your bill in lieu of service charge. This is for the hot tea they serve...which you cannot refuse.

When we arrived, around 8:20pm, almost all the signature poultry dishes were sold out. So I guess your safest bet is to call in advance and reserve their signature tea smoked chicken. Take note. We ordered the sweet and sour pork, winter melon with chilis, salted minced pork and shrimp, the char siu BBQ, and the stir-fried flat noodles with beef. They asked if we wanted to order a bowl of specialty rice to go with the mains, but rice is rice right? The winter melon was quite spicy but very fragrant 很香 from the shrimp paste flavor. The sweet and sour pork (gu lu yok) was a bit underwhelming to say the least - maybe it's because I'm used to the bright orange flavor of this dish at other restaurants, and the presentation nothing special. The char siu was very very lean - not fatty at all and the meat quite tough to bite in at times. I think they used the leanest pork tenderloin for the char siu... but the fat is the best part! :'( The 乾炒牛河 was done well, the beef was tender, solid classic Cantonese dish.

Kin's Kitchen is definitely one of the best Cantonese restaurants in town. Here's my experience at…read moreKin's Kitchen for our company year end dinner last month. Before I go into the food, I must praise how well-trained their staff are. This lady named Jacky was very welcoming and kept making sure we were well served. Her sincere and genuine attitude earned some praises among us and she even rewarded us with some free desserts at the end. We also ordered a bottle of red but our wine expert friends tasted something wrong in the wine and the male waiter tasted the wine and confirmed the wine went wrong. He immediately allowed us to order another bottle. This kind of service is quite rare in most local restaurants in HK. We ordered many of their classic dishes including the Kin's smoked chicken, fried thousand-year-old egg with pickled ginger, stir-fried lion-head fish fillet with lettuce shoot, seasonal lamb pot, pomelo peel with vegetables and mushroom, fried glutinous rice with Chinese sausages, etc. The best dish was definitely their signature smoked chicken. The lion-head fish is generally rare to find and hard to cook, yet they made the dish simple but spectacular. In terms of the decor, the restaurant has many interesting things if you look around. There are some small fish tanks in bird cages hanging in the restaurant. There are also many photo portraits which were taken by the owner, Mr. Lau Kin Wai. In case you don't know, Mr. Lau was a former art-critic and food-writer. It's not a surprise that the interior design of his restaurant is filled with art. I highly recommend Kin's Kitchen for some Cantonese fine-dining. I'll definitely be back to try other dishes.
