It's sushi time! We had a friend in town and decided we'd had enough of the run-of-the-mill sushi…read morechains and headed to an independent restaurant for a different range of sushi. We had a delightful time looking at the menu, deciding what to order and settled on quite a few different types of sushi, sashimi and grilled items with a range of salmon, yellow tail, toro, eel and the best plate of the night - the volcano roll. It was spicy, succulent and divine. The other highlight were the grilled mushrooms. Perfectly baked in tin foil, they were buttery and tasted even better with a dusting of chilli powder. We ventured out and tried a bacon wrapped lycée - it sounded like a good idea. Unfortunately the bacon let down the dish. It was the thick type of bacon and tasted a bit too much like a slab of ham. The waiters lacked a little common sense and muddled up our orders quite a few times. If you have a table of five people, 3 pieces of salmon sushi is not going to be enough to fill hungry bellies. They did redeem themselves, in my books anyway, by "messing up" and bringing us two plates of volcano rolls instead of one. We happily paid. My verdict, go for the volcano roll, but it's not a high restaurant on my list to return to.

The food here is typical Japanese izakaya (居酒屋) style. I know drinks is a huge part of that culture, but I cannot comment much on the drinks menu since I didn't drink this time. Food is the usual you would expect at a family style izakaya, nothing overly innovative or ultra high quality. Food is decent and within expectation; in general very good value for money; the bill for two was just HK$4xx!

With so many ramen places around, Butao ramen does a great job. We got there around 630pm and beat…read morethe dinner crowd, so we were able to get seated quickly. Their menu is similar to Ramen Nagi. You can choose between regular, black (umami), red (spicy), or green (basil) broth flavors. They also do a rotating special ramen, which was lobster today. You can then choose the type of meat, spicy level, vegetable and noodle type/texture. We got the Black King, which has nice squid ink and umami flavors. Level 3 spicy had a mild kick, but wasn't overwhelming. The lobster broth ramen was also super flavorful, although the lobster meat itself was a bit tough. Overall, a solid place to come for a flavorful bowl of ramen with options to satisfy everyone except if you are on a diet.

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.

Ordered the beef tendon noodle and a bowl of shrimp wontons. Both were served up within 3 minutes and it felt like I inhaled them equally quick. Noodles were chewy and flavored with the sauce from the beef. Fantastic. All wontons had good chunks of crispy shrimp. The only complaint was that the soup base was on the heavy/salty side. The prices were great as well, especially when considering the area. Despite the fact that it's in an alley, the place was still really clean and the a/c was blasting to help keep the humidity down. Will definitely be back.

We went there last evening for dinner. It was earlyish and they weren't as busy but by the time we…read morewere done, the place was filling up. Predominantly vegan, the place can be described as ovo lacto vegetarian. Jasmine tea, preserved vegetable dumplings with broth, fried noodles with vegetables, fried rice with chinese mahogany and an eggplant claypot was on the table. With a side of pickled cucumbers and mushrooms. The claypot eggplant was the star, flavorful and very tender. Spicier would've made the dish star-rier. It didn't occur to me that the fried noodles would be actually fried and not stir fried. Abundant mushrooms in that one. The fried rice was nicely done, crisp vegetables and all. The white pepper brings out the flavors. The dumplings were good, thin wrappers and mostly mushrooms in there. The broth was simple but tasted good, and I think it was the white pepper that did it again. They have non-Taiwanese / international dishes on the menu as well, so that maybe for another time.

One of a few pure vegetarian restaurants in Wan Chai. The set up of this place for lunch is similar…read moreto Happy Veggies in Wan Chai and Art Veggies in Sheung Wan, but this is my favorite by far compared to the others. They're similar in the aspect that you get to choose 3 veggie dishes / sides out of 6 listed options. If you work in Wan Chai (or even just in the area) and want to grab a quick vegetarian meal, this is the place to go! I love eating here compared to the other two similar concept restaurants because the food is simply the tastiest of the three. Everything is just super flavorful and tasty. Also, unless Happy Veggies and Art Veggies, they give you a small bowl of rice in case you're the type of person that doesn't eat much rice, but then they give you the option to scoop more rice and soup. Unlimited rice and soup, at your service! The other locations only give you one bowl or rice and one bowl of soup. THUS, if you're the type to eat a lot, you will certainly get the bang for your buck here. I always leave this place pretty full and satisfied. Aside from the veggie sides being yummier than the other places, the portions are larger too for the same price. So... even though Happy Veggies is closer to my office, I still rather take a bit longer time to walk here and eat Liza Veggies' food. :) *FYI - they display their daily veggie options in Chinese... Thus if you can't read Chinese, I recommend coming here with a friend that can read Chinese OR just look around tables to see what others are eating to get a sense of what you would like to get. It is certainly not ideal for non-Chinese readers, but promise it is worth it! My Chinese reading skills aren't all that great too, but I still come back time after time. It's a testament to their food la. ;)
