The all-you-can-eat oysters are generous and of excellent quality. Each of the three types of oysters has its own unique characteristics, some are plump and some have a strong oyster flavor. Orders are served quickly every time. The quality of other dishes is average to above average.

It was great! The venue felt a bit crowded at first, but it was still very well done. Lots of realistic props and scenes, plus many video clips shared. $25 is totally worth it! 🤓👍🏻😬

I brought a friend to the Red Chimney restaurant at the Hang Feng Hotel for the lunch buffet today. We were seated promptly at 12 noon, and the variety of food was quite extensive: - Cold Seafood: Crab legs, snails, shrimp, mussels, oysters, and sashimi (salmon, tuna, red seabream, herring, octopus, pickled mackerel) - Cold Dishes: Salad bar, cheeses, smoked salmon, Spanish ham with melon, a variety of sushi - Hot Dishes: Roast beef (good quality, not dry), lamb chops, roasted meats, curry, steamed fish, etc. - Desserts: Assorted pastries, Häagen-Dazs and Mövenpick ice cream - Drinks: Various hot and cold drinks, coffee machine The quality was good, and at only $268 per person (including the service charge), it was a real bargain!

Recently purchased this eSIM, and it was the best travel decision I made. The process was easy and hassle-free – no need to line up for a physical SIM or worry about losing a tiny card. Setup was quick, just a few taps on my phone, and I was instantly connected. It turned out to be very convenient for navigating the city, using maps, booking rides, and staying in touch without interruptions. Definitely a useful and practical option for travelers in Hong Kong!
