| - Quick Spoiler: Good food, slow service and expensive.
Atmosphere: the restaurant is relatively new at the time of this review. It's modern design is simple and clean. The restaurant is actually pretty small but they crammed as many tables as they could inside. Nice for a simple date or causal dining. Audience was comprised of all ages.
Order: my wife ordered the famous Supreme beef rice and I ordered the duck breast pasta with numbing spice sauce. We also shared the chef's special 1-bone chicken wings.
Food: the chef's special chicken wings were really just fried honey garlic wings with sesame. It was tasty but definitely less meaty than normal wings.
The Supreme beef rice was quite delicious. It's rare beef on a hot plate with a mountain of rice in the middle. But you actually have to mix it together first before eating. The beef is half cooked, which is why you need to mix it right away while the plate is hot. There's scallions, corn, sauce and butter hiding in the rice (which is where all the flavor is). This was the best dish of the night.
The duck breast pasta with numbing spice sauce was actually spicy. The duck was thinly sliced so it cooked fast, but it tasted a lot like sausage. This was a good dish but nothing spectacular.
Service: this is where it all fell apart. Although we were next in line (with 2 people), they decided to give the next table to the group of 3 who were actually 2 groups down on the waiting list. While I'm normally understanding that bigger groups should get the bigger tables first, there were already lots of 2 people groups sitting at 4 seat tables. We ended up having to wait another 20mins because of this. With no attention from the staff, I decided to grab the menus myself to figure what to eat. I was judging by the bored faces and empty tables that people were waiting for food for awhile. The service was slow, but the staff were buzzing around all night. This leads me to feel that they understaffed as well. They used a dirty cloth to wipe the table quickly. This left a weird odor. They sent out our main dishes way before our appetizer. Finally when we wanted to order dessert, the waitress loudly and rudely told us everything was sold out.
Overall: while i would come back to try the food (worthy of 4 stars), the lack of attention to customer service resulted in their 3 star rating. The prices they charge aren't your cheap HK diner prices, therefore a higher level of service is a reasonable expectation.
