For people who've never had a Chinese style steak before, it's totally different from Western steaks. Basically, Western steaks are seasoned pretty lightly, to bring out the natural meat flavour, and grilled. Chinese style steaks are pan fried (probably, I'm no chef) , then sauce (garlic or black pepper) is poured on top of it while its on a sizzling plate. I personally prefer Western style steaks made by steakhouses like The Keg because I find the sauces overpowering, covering the meat flavour, but Chinese style steak isn't bad either since it's a really good deal.
I had the lunch special ($67 HKD) and have tried both the rib eye (I ordered the sirloin but they gave me the wrong one and tried to pass it off as sirloin lol) and the sirloin at 70% cooked. I expected them to undercook it a little bit, and they did, so I ended up getting the steak exactly how I wanted it. The sauce, both flavours, is quite strong, and the black pepper varies between being not too spicy to quite spicy. The soup was regular, the drink that comes with the meal normal.
I tried the upstairs place next to Sweetheart Garden Restaurant, called something like "The Worst Steak", but I prefer this place because for an additional $2 HKD,($65 HKD lunch set vs. $67 HKD lunch set) you get to choose the type of steak you want. To me, that's quite important. Also, a nice thing I noticed is that they don't force each individual to order a meal by charging them money for not eating, which is what they do elsewhere.
I've been coming to this place since the last time I came to Hong Kong and I'm glad to see that nothing has really changed. It's not the best steak I've ever had in my life, but it's a good deal, the steak is good, and they give you enough to make you full, something that's not always something to be expected when you eat out in Hong Kong. read more
