Zagat's Top HK Restaurants - do you agree? Recent visit was two three weeks ago, did not notice the difference. Quite frankly, it's is pretty hard to screw up top quality steak. The skills required of the chef is to prepare it to perfection and precise as requested - mine was a perfect med rare. Tried the truffle mac and cheese side for the first time - sinful with a mil calories, but soo good. |

If you are into pinapple top bbq buns, that's what they're most famous for. Che's is highly recommended. |

Zagat's Top HK Restaurants - do you agree? Steaks in HK are extremely overpriced compared to US for sure. Almost doubled, but then again, what isn't... cars, luxuries, orange juice...with exception of taxes, which if you were American (I am) you'd have to pay both worlds. It's all part of logistics - so buy FedEx or UPS stocks folks! DP is not as expensive at IC, they have amazing oysters and their signature lobster bisque is to die for. Been there couple times and tried both their aged and usda (less expensive one). I agree Kobetobiko, I in fact prefer the USDA less expensive option more. More juicy and tender. If you're looking for a steak on this side of the island, it would be my choice over wagyu, RC, Lawrys, Mortons...etc. Craft's, stonegrill - those are just crap for the price you pay. |

Best Italian restaurant in Hong Kong: Da Domenico? Yes, DD is to die for, expensive, but that's the reason why many go there fore special occassions. Voted one of "the most romantic" placed to dine in HK - I'm sure I will be challenged by other 5* hotel junkies. The food at DD is amazing, but for less expensive good Italian food, I found Goccia and Rhugetta good too. Please do not go to Azure to avoid disappointment, service is horrid, food is medicre - attitude is sky high, almost in line with Sevva. |

Zagat's Top HK Restaurants - do you agree? Steak Foodies should check out Dakota Prime Steaks, i couldn't believe they were amazingly good, took me by surprise. I use to go to InterCon all the time, but hated to venture to "the other side" Now I go one closer to home in Central. I heard that they source the same steaks as IC and under charflame. I was impressed. RC and Morton's are way overrated. Service at both are mediocre to say the very least. At least at IC you get good service and steak. At DP, I thought was attentive too for a non-hotel restaurant. |

You have to check out Che's in Wanchai - I would seriously say that it's the best dim sum in HK - non hotel, non fine dining at reasonable price. Must make reservations though. The Broadway Building 4th Floor Wanchai Lockhart Rd. We go almost every weekend. |

I agree with many of the postings - Lung King Heen, Tang, and Yan T Heen are all great places, but super expensive and in luxury of hotel. If you want a casual place to go, don the fine dining ambiance, expensive tab but still enjoy THE MOST AMAZING DIM SUM. You have to check out Che's in Wanchai. It is one of the most hidden gems in HK dim sum scene. All the well to do families and tai tais come here..and reservations IS A MUST otherwise, forget about getting a table. I've been living in HK for over 4 years now and must say, we go almost every weekend. The food is impeccable, service as you would expect from local owners, and ambiance is alright. It's clean place, but the food is exceptional and the bill won't break your bank. Expect to shell out 350-400 for two - not cheap. Their signature is BBQ Pork bun - baked one with crunch crust top and melt in your mouth soft center. AMAZING. There's only a limited number per day, so order it first thing when you sit down. Shrimp dumpling, ribs, raddish cake, siu mai, lotus leaf rice wrap, signature shrimp sauce veggie in clay pot is to DIE FOR. |
