Hopewell Hotel | Lobby Cafe | Semi Lunch, Dinner Buffet, Afternoon Tea Set

We booked a table through Klook for the semi-buffet dinner at the Lobby Café in Hopewell Hotel, Wan Chai. The restaurant has a stylish decor, and the tables are well-spaced. The food selection was appropriate; that evening, the seafood included crab legs, shrimp, and mussels, along with roast beef, Western soup (cream soup), Chinese soup (lotus root and pork hock soup), poached chicken, sushi, Parma ham, cheese, pork siu mai, and crab meat salad. The salad greens were very fresh. Desserts included Movenpick ice cream, chocolate bread pudding, and chocolate soufflé, all of which were delicious. Food was refilled quickly. If you inform the restaurant in advance for a birthday celebration, you can receive a complimentary dessert and a personalized message. Food taste: Delicious Service: Friendly and nice staff Restaurant environment: Comfortable Experience: Satisfied Price: Reasonable

The restaurant has a clean and comfortable environment with spacious table arrangements, preventing overcrowding and ensuring privacy from neighboring diners, which is excellent. Although it's a semi-buffet dinner, the buffet area offers a sufficient variety of food choices. The inclusion of crab legs in the cold dish selection is a highlight. The crab legs and shrimp are fresh and flavorful, which is great 👍🏻 The salad bar has a wide variety of options and tastes great. If you enjoy salads, this restaurant is worth visiting. The Western and Chinese soups are served at a hot temperature, which is very good, but the bread rolls are hard, dry, and not fluffy, which is disappointing. There is a small selection of Chinese dim sum and hot dishes. The dessert area only had one fruit cake initially, and it wasn't refilled with the same item, but replaced with something else. There are many dessert choices, including Movenpick ice cream, fresh fruit, a freshly ground coffee machine, iced tea, and Twinings tea bags. You can add main courses for an extra charge. It's optional to add a main course, but even without it, my friends and I were already full. In conclusion, this is a great choice for light eaters and those who enjoy salads and fruits. The salad selection is diverse, and the taste of most of the food is delicious, making it a satisfying dinner 👍🏻

Service: I'd like to commend Mavis, who responded to my email. My friend and I were celebrating a birthday, but I forgot to inform the hotel beforehand. I sent an email requesting a birthday candle that morning, and they were able to arrange it by noon the same day, which I really appreciate! Food: Although it's described as a semi-buffet, there's a good variety of food, and many of the items are quite filling, so there was no need to order a main course. There were three types of Chinese dim sum: siu mai, char siu bao, and ma lai go. Additionally, there was baked pork chop rice, cold noodles, sushi, and a live noodle station. The salad selection was too extensive and the taste was just average. The dessert variety was limited and nothing special, except for the Movenpick ice cream and soufflé, which were good. Each person received a complimentary main course of roasted beef, which was delicious, and the gravy was also very well-made. For the birthday celebration, they also provided a large cake and macarons.

It was my mom's birthday, so I brought her here for a lunch buffet. It was my first time, and the whole experience was quite good. The staff were very diligent in refilling water and clearing plates, and the food was constantly replenished. There was also more food than I expected, and everything tasted delicious. There was a good variety of desserts, and the complimentary dish was a pleasant surprise; both the wagyu beef and the mashed potatoes were excellent. My mom was very satisfied with the entire meal!

Restaurant Environment: Spacious, ample room. Experience: Good. Food Taste: Although the variety of food isn't extensive, there are Japanese dishes, 4-5 types of salads, 3-4 dim sum options, Chinese and Western soups, hot dishes, skewers, fruits, desserts, and pastries—all readily available. Additionally, each person receives a chef's special truffle and caviar seafood pancake. The food quality is excellent, making for an enjoyable meal. Price: $226 per person for a semi-buffet lunch. To enjoy this at a hotel in the heart of Wan Chai, the value for money is quite good.

The semi-buffet offered a wide variety of food choices, and the quality was excellent. The service was also very good. My only minor complaint is that at exactly 1:00 PM, likely due to lunchtime, the entire restaurant was full and quite noisy, and there was a queue for food. Overall, I was extremely satisfied with this semi-buffet. I would give it a 90% rating and will recommend it to friends and return again. 😋🙏🏻

This was my first time having the semi-buffet lunch at Hopewell Hotel, and I had seen many positive reviews beforehand. It truly lived up to the hype; for a semi-buffet, there was a good variety of food. The quality was high, especially the salad bar with its fresh ingredients. They also offered bubble tea and shaved ice. Each person received a serving of scallops, which were tender and delicious. My colleagues and I were all very satisfied. It offers great value for money! I'll definitely be back again in the future.

The food, ambiance, and service are all truly excellent, especially the crab meat salad and the long crab legs. The salad is very substantial and tastes wonderful, while the crab legs are perfectly defrosted, with firm, stringy crab meat that's meaty and, most importantly, not salty—absolutely top-notch. The desserts are also outstanding, especially the freshly made crepes, which are fantastic with ice cream. Plus, if it's a friend's birthday, you can let the restaurant know to blow out candles and eat cake, haha! 🤣

The restaurant boasts a clean and comfortable environment, with spacious table arrangements that prevent overcrowding and minimize eavesdropping on neighboring conversations - a definite plus. While the semi-buffet dinner doesn't offer an overwhelmingly extensive selection, the food quality is decent and acceptable for the price point. The inclusion of crab legs in the cold dish section is a definite selling point, with both the crab legs and shrimp offering freshness and good flavor. The salad bar offers a wide variety of choices. Food is constantly refilled, and there's even Movenpick ice cream available.

Experience: Although there wasn't a huge variety of food, everything was very fresh. Restaurant Environment: The place is spacious, with good distance between tables, and it's clean. Food Taste: There were only three hot dishes, which was a bit limited, but they also had dim sum, sushi, and very fresh salad greens. There was also a noodle station. This time, we even received a complimentary ribeye, which tasted great! 👍🏼 Price: $226 is reasonable. Service: The waitstaff were polite and attentive.
