  • 3.5 Another weekend, another HK style cafe to try. Blue Ocean offers more than your average HK style cafe in terms of dishes and is a pretty good place to try out if you're in the area. Pros: Menu is more extensive than most HK style cafes Prices are good Cons: Service is a bit slow Reading past reviews one would think to avoid this place. However, after going myself I didn't see most or any of the problems the previous reviewers experienced. We came on a Saturday night. It was busy but the turnover was fast and we were seated within minutes. Blue Ocean is situated in a plaza with a ton of other HK style cafes. If the wait time is huge, you can always go to the other ones here so it's no biggie if this place is too busy at any given time. One look at the menu and I see items offered that I don't normally see at other HK style cafes. They have 10 oz rib steak dinner here!! I didn't order it this time but I will be back to try.. maybe.. lol. There's also Japanese inspired pastas a la Shiso tree. I ended up ordering the Hainese chicken on rice and my GF got the pan fried chicken steak on pasta with cream and tomato sauces. Both items were on a seperate special menu dinners which all come with soup and a drink. The food came out rather quickly. My Hainese chicken rice was pretty standard. Nothing special, nothing amazing. One thing to note is that it was all boneless. I don't know if I just got lucky or if this is a standard for thm, but it's a good thing. My GF's pasta was alright too. My little one loved the pasta and she's rather picky now so that's another plus. The tomato sauce wasn't tomato-y enough though. It tasted a bit watered down. All in all, the food is good for HK style cafe standards. You can't come in to this place and expect 5 star cuisine. You shouldn't be going to HK style cafes if you do. The prices here are standard and at times pretty good depending on the dish in question. You get pretty good value to. The portions could be bigger, but it's not downright abysmal. The service can get slow at times when it's busy, but it's nowhere near as bad as previous reviewers say it is. I saw a table beside us order a baked pasta with spaghetti. It came out with penne by mistake and tbe customers really wanted the spaghetti and they took it back for them no questions asked and made them a new one pretty quickly. All in all, Blue Ocean was a pleasant experience for us. It wasn't amazing but it was nowhere near as bad as previous reviews make it out to be. Either they've really cleaned up their act since those reviews are it was never that to begin with. Either way, it's a decent place and I can totally see myself coming back when I want a cheap meal.
