Fun classic HK decor, energetic and friendly staff. Isaac in particular was very welcoming and helped us going through the menu. We ordered the spicy chicken wings, roasted goose, and stir fried pea tips. The food was tasty and delicious. I really like the roast goose taste, especially the crispy tasty skin, however to meat is a little bit tough to chew. It would be perfect if it’s more succulent / tender.

Great food and outstanding service. Though it was made clear at booking due to demand we had to be out in 90 minutes never felt rushed with the wait staff working fantastically well together. The sommelier provided excellent assistance in selecting a Chinese grown wine which we were keen to try. Food wise thoroughly enjoyed the Razor Clams and Goose..Great atmosphere and a great dining experience. Special mention to the waiter who tipped us in to an 11 to 1 winner at Happy Valley whilst we had a chat about the races..

Hard to book a table at this restaurant, but it’s worth a try. I love the way they mix traditional Chinese and modern vibe. The colours red and silver on the wall were visually striking and the ambiance was vibrant. For me, the food was a bit salty. The cocktails went down well with the salty food.
Most of all, the staff were attentive and friendly. They offered three pieces of my birthday cake and I blew the candle, wishing all the people around me a happy life!
Char Siu, and Baby Cucumber Flower were tasty. The price was reasonable.

Ho Lee Fook, translated to English as “Fortune Cookie for Mouth,” lives up to its name. The food is incredibly delicious, and the service is top-notch—fast, friendly, and English-speaking staff. Vegetarian options are plentiful, and I highly recommend their soup, the one made with dates, mushrooms, it has a sweet taste. While the restaurant is pricey, I believe it’s worth it. They also have a bar. Since it was full, I suggest making a reservation in advance.

I visited this restaurant for my dad’s birthday after multiple friends recommended it to me. It’s a popular spot, so be sure to make a reservation and arrive on time, as there’s a maximum two-hour dining limit.

The ambience is spot on, but the food didn’t quite meet my expectations by Chinese standards. I was wowed when I first walked in and saw an entire wall of golden lucky cats, which set the tone for a playful dance between Chinese and Western aesthetics.

The dining room features a mirrored ceiling, which visually expands the space, and the walls are adorned with modern art, giving the impression that the space could double as an art gallery. The atmosphere leans towards a Western orientation, though the room is bathed in Chinese red, from the carpet to the wallpaper, creating an exotic and refreshing vibe.

The staff were friendly and attentive. The food is Chinese fusion with a tilt towards Western tastes. While the flavors were fine, most dishes were too salty and heavy for my liking. I’ve always believed that a good chef should let the ingredients speak for themselves, so I prefer less seasoning. However, that might just be my personal preference. The dessert was surprisingly good and turned out to be the highlight of the night. The staff also accommodated the birthday celebration by placing a candle on the dessert and offering complementary majiang cakes.

Overall, it was a fun dining experience. I’d recommend this place for the vibes, not necessarily for the food, though I think it would be well-suited to Western palates.
