I saw a lot of yummy food on the menu but only available after 11am. We were here at 8am. They recommended the ham macaroni soup. It definitely didn't disappoint. Yin-yong coffee on the side. Another dish they recommended was the continental breakfast. Chicken steak with black pepper, fish fillet, ham, boiled egg, baked beans with tomato sauce and butter toast. I was definitely satiated.

The fresh spring rolls were actually okay (had a nice fresh crunch to it) and it started off promising until I got delivered the pho. Disappointing, flavourless and watered down soup stock. Where were the bean sprouts, fresh herbs, chilli and lime? Noodles were fresh and there was a winter melon in my soup (what???) and which made me think that this place is more influenced by Cantonese than Vietnamese. Did I just order the wrong dishes? How does this restaurant even get a high rating? Am I just spoilt that I've had amazing Vietnamese restaurants up to the point I moved to Hong Kong. Gah! I really wanted to like this.

Although a…read morelittle bit hidden down an alley way, it's worth the trek if you're looking to fill your pho craving. I've had this place twice now, once for pho and once for curry beef brisket. I really enjoyed both. Although the pho wasn't anything spectacular or wow-ing, it was definitely enough to settle my craving for warm, beefy pho. The beef brisket in the curry was tender and soft, and curry itself was creamy. If you're looking for a quick, dirty, and affordable Vietnamese spot in Central, this is the place to go.

My SIL insisted I try the restaurant. So glad I did. Love the decor with such an Urban feel. Bikes, tires, and road signs. Clean and modern throughout. I was captivated by their desserts. From the syringe injecting into a Bloody Berry cake to these color dusted cakes with various flavors. Wow, can we say croissant galore. How can you turn down a chocolate dipped croissant or one that is something called creme brulee? Okay, onto their real food. The slow roasted chicken came highly recommended as was the fish and chips. I also wanted to try the gwei miu salmon with a watercress risotto. They also needed to add they garnish the salmon dish with baby arugula. Hello! No need to say more. Sold! The chicken was juicy (brinded almost), full of flavor. The fish and chips had an amazing color on the fry, awesome beer battered flavored, and chunks of fish with every bite. It was over like an olive tapinade tartar sauce, which I couldn't get enough of. The risotto was perfectly cooked, which is hard to do. It was loaded with butter and cheese. Aside from its green color, it was hard to tell it was watercress. The salmon was also perfectly cooked and juicy. My only regret was that I ate too much and didn't save room for their desserts. Next time, for sure. Definitely be back and will be taking the Hubs here when he returns.

Heard about it from my friend who is residing in Hong Kong. The must to try list (according to her) was the toasts. Long queue was formed on a Sunday around 2pm. We waited for about half an hour before we were seated. Gave Teawood's handmade scallion noodles and the brown sugar Sun Moon Lake Formosa black tea with salted cream. And of course the famous toast with chocolate ice cream. I was craving dry noodles so the pasta like handmade noodles were perfect. I love fried scallions but it was a little too much for me as it sticks together in the tongue. The noodles were chewy and I enjoyed every slurp of it. The salted cream tea was alright. Would prefer it to have more foam on the top and less ice. Toasts.. Amazing! It was not too sweet for my tastebuds even though chocolate ice cream with marshmallow bits on top of fluffy yet crispy toasts with drizzled honey sounds too sweet. Service was efficient and will definitely come back in the future ;)

For an appetizer, I ordered the satay chicken skewers. The chicken was very sour and adding the peanut sauce on top of it didn't make it better. It was a disappointment. For an entree, I ordered the spaghetti carbonara. The pasta was not creamy at all and the sauce was very watery. Another disappointment. What really ticked me off was that I didn't even get my entree yet and the waiter handed me the bill. I'm like, are you serious? I'm definitely not coming back here again.

I had extremely high hopes for this cha chaang teng and after not having enough time to visit…read moreduring our last trip, we prioritized Honolulu Coffee Shop for breakfast. The restaurant is pretty spacious and when we visited, it was pretty empty. We had no trouble getting a table for our large group of six people. Staff speak some English and they have English menus available so we had no trouble ordering. I believe they're most known for the pineapple buns and egg tarts so of course, we ordered several to share. It's also an incomplete visit to a cha chaang teng without the coffee milk tea and on top of that, I also got a side of scrambled eggs. The pineapple bun was kind of dense and dry, even with the slab of butter. The egg tarts were also dry with a plain-tasting custard. The coffee milk tea was fine but we didn't realize until visiting another cha chaang teng that hot usually means unsweetened. And the scrambled eggs were so plain...I just remember cha chaang teng scrambled eggs being super silky and creamy. This was just disappointing and I didn't need to order normal, regular-tasting scrambled eggs. They're saving grace is how cheap everything was. For that price, it just felt like we got what we paid for...lower quality food. I was very confused because I feel like I read a lot of raving reviews about this place so maybe we visited on an off day. But out of every place we tried, this was pretty low on our list.

Unfortunately this did not meet my expectations, and was definitely my least favorite out of the restaurants we went to. Lots of seating available, for parties big and small. They have English menus available as well. The pineapple bun looked promising, but once I bit into it, the bun itself was not very fluffy and rather dense, and the crust didn't seem to have enough flavor to it. The egg tart crusts were also dry, and the custard itself was just ok. I tried a piece of my friends french toast, and that was pretty good, although they took the syrup away pretty early on even though we were still eating. The coffee milk tea was also just ok, nothing special and didn't really have a strong taste in either direction. I'd skip this spot and go to a different cha chaang teng.

So nice to be able to sample treats that met our dietary restrictions, i.e. no pork, no shellfish. Loved the large selection of vegetarian options.

Our friends enjoyed their dumplings. Add some cold Hong Kong Milk Tea for a perfect snack while exploring the markets around Mong Kok.

It comes with pictures so you kinda know what you are getting. The food comes out pretty fast and they are appropriately seasoned with Vietnamese spices.

BÊP, you have a new devotee to add to your quickly-growing fan club…read more I recently met someone here for a business meeting, as BÊP was suggested as a great spot with its ideal central location on Wellington and plentiful seating. And come on - who doesn't like Vietnamese food? Not me. I'm in the full-on love camp. When I lived in Chicago, neither heavy rain nor snowpocalypse conditions could keep me away from my weekly bowl of pho or bánh mì. Some weeks, my favorite Viet spot saw me two or three times. I know, I know - I'm addicted. Well I'm happy to report that BÊP more than satisfies my craving for legitimately solid Vietnamese fare. Because I couldn't commit to just one item, I decided to go with the 2-course lunch set. For under 100 HKD, you get to try two ample-sized dishes and you can choose a drink as well (for an additional nominal fee). However, I didn't enjoy the lotus root Vietnamese iced tea... it had a very strong, bitter taste that I fought to get down. I later switched to the lime soda and enjoyed that beverage much more! For my first course, I had the mixed green and herb salad with crispy pork belly. Wow - I was surprised by the ample portion of pork belly and it was quite good. Perfectly crispy and not overly fatty. This is my dream version of pork belly; wish it tasted like this every time! By the time our second courses came around, I had already put a nice dent into my appetite. However, the bun vermicelli with lemongrass chicken instantly enticed. The chunks of chicken were plentiful and aesthetically beautiful. Really! And the dish tasted even better so it wasn't just another pretty face. We also decided to split the lone dessert option on the menu - xoi ngot, grilled sticky rice wrapped in banana leaves, pandan coconut sauce and roasted peanuts - but this ended up sounding more appealing that it actually tasted. Would be nice to see a few more dessert options on the menu. Still stoked to have found a great spot to indulge in Vietnamese cuisine on the regular. I'll soon be back for a bowl of pho tai now that temps are finally dropping!
