We made…read morereservations online and they called us a few days before our reservation to ask if we wanted to reserve any special dishes. We didn't know what to reserve so we only ordered a soup and a limited char siu. Definitely recommend the char siu as it was so meaty, flavorful and nicely charred. Food did take a while to come out though which was kinda nice when HK is usually so fast paced that you can't enjoy a meal. Service was so so as it sometimes took a while to flag down the staff but it's also expected in HK.

I appreciated Tai Wai Dining Room offers the traditional Cantonese style dim sum. Lots of dim sum…read morerestaurants stopped serving those dim sum because they required lots of time for preparation. I specifically like the bone marrow dim sum dish which is hard to find in restaurants nowadays. My mom always wants to find a restaurant that serves good sesame rolls which is also hard to find as well. The way they prepared it still preserves the chewiness. I am so glad that my mom enjoyed it so much. All the dim sum dishes are very tasty. I recommend you to try try this place if you want to eat authentic traditional Cantonese dim sum. The bbq pork was good but not as special as people talked about. It still worth a try though. The servers are all very helpful and friendly. The interior decoration is very welcoming. My big party enjoyed dining here. This restaurant is a Michelin bib gourmand. If you want to try this place, don't forget to make reservation.

My previous visits to three-starred Michelin (Hong Kong restaurants) were disappointing -- their…read morefood was bad. Thankfully, this being only two-starred somehow exceeded them. At the very least, it meets expectations of a good restaurant. On the food side, the Blue Lobster dish is top-notch for what it is. On the other hand, the Sweetened Pistachio Cream initially fell flat -- until I discovered that mixing in the accompanying sugar coated pistachios gives the texture and some sweetness necessary to enhance the otherwise flat flavor. Unexpectedly, my favorite thing came from the petit fours. An unassuming almond shortbread cookie that proved the perfect complement to the otherwise lackluster Pistachio Cream. The outstanding thing here is the decor, for those who like luxurious opulence. Settled within the St. Regis Hotel, modern luxurious grandeur exudes throughout. Something that photos can't capture, but can be experienced in person. Service is on par for restaurants of this caliber, with the staff going above and beyond. I was super impressed when a waiter proficiently pulled out a flashlight to spotlight an abalone so I can take a better photo. Kinda funny. And a first for me. With Hong Kong being the paradise for food, amazing restaurants can be found for all price ranges. Why spend on a Michelin Star one when you can find way better food elsewhere? With a restaurant named Run, maybe I should have. But I did enjoy the decor and service. They were impressive.

A few noteworthy dishes include: - Cumin lamb pan-fried buns: Incredibly savory, well-spiced. - Matsutake vegetable dumplings: Flavorful, very fresh Asian veggies and thinly sliced matsutake mushroom. A refreshing, tasty option. - Barbecue Iberico pork rice roll with honey glaze: Perfectly tender, succulent and slightly sweet without being overly fatty. - Almond-studded taro shrimp puff: Taro puff meets shrimp ball, with shrimp perfectly wrapped in a thin layer of taro underneath the almond studded exterior. A delicious sight to behold! Excellent service and beautiful ambiance. Highly recommend visiting Run!

Very nice upscale Cantonese restaurant - an ideal place to impress your guests. Customer service…read morewas excellent and tea refilling was done promptly. 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.

FAST and cheap ! great for dinner or late night gatherings for some food and beer. What makes this place different from most restaurants is their kitchen is OUTSIDE. When you are near by, you WILL hear the ROARING flame of the fire from the individual wok areas they have. My family in HK had brought us here for dinner during our visit in April 2016. We had just came here just early enough before the rush. We got a table almost instantly. Yes this place still has lots of outdoor seating but what surprised me is how brightly lit and clean the interior areas were as well. Whats funny is ive ate next door before this place existed 10 years ago. XD Same concept place. You can go around and view the chef's working their magic with the wok on the volcano of a stove. Some will even particularly give you some extra "show". It makes them happy some people are still interested. We had ordered a few things. honey sauce/glazed pork chops, deep fried pig intestine, stuffed fried tofu and eggplants, steamed garlic shrimp, deep fried milk fish, malaysia style on choy, and salted egg & garlic yin choy. To my surprise though not too surprised... my favs were (in no particular order) the deep fried milk fish, deep fried pig intestine, and steamed garlic shrimp. Pork chops. Nothing too special. sweet savoryish sour sauce with pork chop. Deep fried pork intestine - not special but something i havent had in a long time so it was nice and tasty XD Fried stuffed eggplant and tofu - nothing too special, similar to what i make at home too. Salted egg with garlic yin choy - not so common vegetable in the state but still available. this particular one had red leaves too. ive only seen the green leaved version. Simple dish in a broth. Nice and light Malaysia style on-choy - to be honest, not sure what the sauce is. But ive noticed the malaysia style tends to have dried baby shrimp and chili. Lol Steamed garlic shrimp - simple. TONS of garlic. though i expected the shrimp to be bigger in comparison to the picture that was on the wall. but omg so tasty. THAT GARLIC *drools* om nom nom hahaha Deep fried milk fish - recommendation from my uncle. Ive never had it. Boneless (but as with all fish, id still be careful anyway). Lightly battered. Deep fried. The fish was light. Batter was crispy but light. It was really done well. Definitely a recommendation from me to others. Overall. Great place to eat at. As said, one of the last few left. If you are one who has been raised in the states, you may not like the chairs being plastic stools and you need to clean your own utensils and stuff. This particular location is a lot cleaner than i remember these places to be so im quite surprised. Especially the area it is in. Their order to table times are ridiculous. We had our entire order even faster than sometimes even one dish coming out in the states. Benefits of this style of cooking. SUPER fast. I've been told this place ONLY opens at night but i swear i heard the flame roaring mid-day another day when we were walking around near-by.

Service obviously left something to be desired but at least they didn't yell the order (to the kitchen) or being overly loud (quite civilized relatively speaking). We had to frequently flag down various waiters to get served, to place our order, to ask for napkins and so on. Food again was good. See photos. Relatively fast in the speed of serving. Their kitchen closes at 1:30 pm so as soon as we sat down we had to rush our order. Toilet is not in the restaurant but outside in the hallway, tucked away and unsightly. Dirty.

Their popularity was at an all-time high just before the pandemic and has remained one of Sai Wan's most frequent local eateries. To no one's surprise, the seating and layout are not group friendly and it can be very cramped. Sharing tables is a big possibility, and I'd come here with no more than 3-4 folks. Waiting is a common past time here, so try to aim for a pre-noon arrival. Their stuffed toasts are legendary and are indeed the real deal. The salted egg yolk toast is fun to eat and film, but the taro custard (香芋流沙西多士) is next level good. The lava that flows from within makes this the ultimate dessert item, and should be on everyone's table. Their XO stir fried radish cubes (XO醬炒蘿蔔糕), along with the XO fried rice rolls (XO醬炒腸粉) are two of my favorite items. The dim sum items are fairly standard (especially the shrimp dumplings), but the shrimp stuffed rice rolls are very good. The shrimp toast is not my usual kind of order, but this place definitely specializes in it. The service is warm and very quick with everything: taking orders, bringing food, and getting the check. Prices are not back breaking but it's a little more expensive than other comparable places. Cash is king.

The owners aren't outright friendly, but are certainly warmer than your average cha chaan teng waiter in Hong Kong. The sesame shrimp toast is more delicious than it has any right to be - crisp exterior studded with toasted white sesame, these triangles give way to plump shrimp meat in the middle, and a cute little dish of Kewpie mayonnaise on the side. The signature egg yolk is fun to cut into - giving you some real insta-worthy yolk porn, but is definitely heavy, so consider sharing. But for me, what won my heart was a delicious take on a childhood favorite - radish cakes: Chau Kee's versions are cut up and fried, so that the crisp fry-exterior gives way to a tacky and soft interior. Flavors of shrimp and seafood are present from the XO sauce. The menu is in both Chinese and English and full of pictures, so it's also gweilo-friendly!
