Restauranter i Kennedy Town

This was my first time visiting for the lunch buffet since the restaurant renovation, and it was for a friend's birthday. The food quality was very high, with oysters, king crab legs, sashimi, chilled shrimp, and chilled conch available. While the variety wasn't extensive, freshness was paramount. It was a shame that on a Saturday, the restaurant was only about half full; I hope business improves in the future. The biggest surprise was the bar staff, who made specialty drinks for guests on the spot. Besides regular coffee or tea, she could also prepare iced lattes (no ice, no sugar) or coffee tonics. My friends and I were all very happy, eating and chatting slowly from 12 PM to 2:30 PM. It was a great weekend activity, and I highly recommend everyone try it!

It's a buy-one-get-one-free deal, and for the price of this lunch, there's an unexpectedly large amount of food, so it's no wonder the place was packed. The desserts, in particular, were very thoughtfully prepared and unique, including mango Napoleon, durian pancakes, crème brûlée mochi puffs, taro egg waffles, several kinds of soft cookies, and various Movenpick ice cream flavors. They were truly impressive and delicious. The seafood, such as oysters, shrimp, and clams, was standard, and surprisingly, there were even lobster claws. The salad was good. The hot dishes and Chinese options were average and could be improved. The Japanese sashimi wasn't cut to order; it was pre-cut and available for self-service, and the quality was just okay. Sushi, cold noodles, and similar items weren't particularly exciting. The service was normal. Overall, this meal offered excellent value for money, and I would definitely come again.

This time, we booked the dinner buffet for a birthday celebration. The last time I visited was three years ago for the lunch buffet. While the variety of food isn't extensive, the quality is excellent. I'm grateful to the restaurant for arranging a window seat for us this time; the view was lovely. The evening atmosphere is much better than during the day. There weren't too many diners, and everyone was very orderly when getting food, allowing us to enjoy our meal in a quiet and comfortable environment. 👍🏻 A special mention goes to the attentive staff who constantly checked if any plates needed to be cleared. They even prepared a small cake and took photos of us with the night view from the window sill. 🙂 The theme of this buffet was Japanese cuisine, featuring dishes like sukiyaki and caviar wagyu sushi, which suited my current preference for lighter meals. Additionally, the ginseng chicken soup had a strong ginseng flavor without being too overpowering; I had three extra servings! The desserts were decent, and there was a good selection of homemade gelato flavors. One highlight was the unique baked goods; I even made my own mini pineapple bun. 🤭

En ultimat og perfekt lunsjbuffetopplevelse! Anbefaler på det sterkeste The Astor Restaurant ✨ Denne gangen kom jeg spesielt til The Astor Restaurant for å nyte lunsjbuffeten, og den totale opplevelsen kan bare beskrives med fire ord: «ekstremt fornøyd». Enten det var beliggenhet, service eller matkvalitet, overgikk det fullstendig mine forventninger! Utmerket og praktisk beliggenhet 📍 Restauranten ligger på Eaton HK, og beliggenheten er veldig praktisk. Det er en kort spasertur fra buss- eller MTR-stasjonen, noe som gjør det ekstremt enkelt å komme seg dit. Restaurantens overordnede romdesign er veldig særegen, med en nostalgisk, retro filmatmosfære kombinert med moderne og komfortabel stil. Man føler seg avslappet og glad så snart man kommer inn. Upåklagelig service fra personalet 💯 Jeg vil spesielt rose serviceinnstillingen til alle frontlinjemedarbeiderne den dagen! Fra de som viste oss til bordet, til de som ryddet tallerkener, og kokkene ved de forskjellige matstasjonene – alle var smilende og høflige. Tallerkenryddingen var veldig rask og effektiv, slik at det aldri hopet seg opp tomme tallerkener på bordet. De var også alltid oppmerksomme på gjestenes behov, noe som ga en følelse av å være en verdsatt gjest. Ekstremt høy matkvalitet – sjømat og mat 🦀 Det som imponerte meg mest var matens rikdom og kvalitet! Sjømaten var veldig fersk, og påfyllingen av kalde retter som østers og brød krabbe var ekstremt rask – jeg så aldri en tom tallerken. Utvalget av varme retter var variert, enten det var stekt biff, stekt lammelår, smakfulle ferdigretter eller utsøkte dim sum, var krydderet perfekt. Man kunne virkelig føle kokketeamets dedikasjon. Dessertdelen var en perfekt avslutning, med et stort utvalg av iskrem og utsøkte små kaker, og kvaliteten var absolutt på nivå med eksklusive dessertbutikker. Oppsummert: The Astor Restaurant demonstrerer en ekstremt høy standard når det gjelder atmosfære, service og mat, og gir utmerket valuta for pengene. Dette er definitivt en matopplevelse man ønsker å gjenta, og jeg anbefaler den på det sterkeste til alle venner som søker god mat og utmerket service!

Buffeten på Hong Kong Ocean Park Marriott Hotel, "Rykende fersk hummer, uovertruffen!" er det perfekte valget for en overdådig buffet som gir "stor tilfredsstillelse". Matutvalget er rikt og deilig, med både vestlige og kinesiske retter, og prisen er "kjøp én, få én gratis", noe som gir høy verdi for pengene! Men fordi alle mattypene er superfriske, selv om jeg kommer hit for å nyte middagsbuffeten én til to ganger i måneden, klarer jeg virkelig ikke å nyte all maten! Så du trenger ikke å bekymre deg for å stå i kø for "varm hummer" ... lenger enn en "hær", mange mennesker, inkludert "meg", spiser bare en halv eller én hummer, grunnen er å spare "mageplass" for å finne alle slags deilige matvarer. Du vil snart bli overrasket over at "ingen står i kø for hummer, fordi andre delikatesser er for gode!" I tillegg er servitørene høflige og "lynraske" til å rydde tallerkener, profesjonelle "tallerkenryddere", men de rydder ikke utenomjordiske UFO-er "flygende tallerkener". Så i de nylig offentliggjorte "UFO-filene" som har vært hemmelige i mange år, vil du absolutt ikke finne spor eller informasjon om "generasjons-tallerkenryddere" fra "The Pier Kitchen"-buffeten på Hong Kong Marriott Hotel! Haha!

The buffet restaurant offers beautiful sea views and comfortable seating, with a reasonable variety of food. However, the hot soup dishes were disappointingly cold, not hot. The male staff member who cleared plates and served ice cream and desserts had an excellent attitude. A major drawback, though, was that precisely at 9:30 PM, when the buffet was scheduled to end, most of the chefs and staff collectively made loud, clanging metal kitchenware and cutlery noises that everyone in the restaurant could hear! This method of clearing metal utensils and rapidly removing food made it seem as if guests were not allowed to stay even one second longer! It was quite startling and embarrassing for customers, almost as if they were being rushed out. All the guests, including a foreign family of three who had arrived late and only had an hour to dine, quickly got up and left the restaurant with me and other patrons. In all my years of frequently enjoying buffets at various hotels in Hong Kong, I have never encountered a hotel restaurant where, precisely at closing time, most of the chefs would display displeasure and deliberately create loud metallic noises, subtly hinting for guests to leave quickly. This was a rare and unsettling experience! Adding to this unpleasant experience, there was a huge, terrifying painting at the restaurant entrance when I left. The painting had a dark, somber tone, depicting only two expressionless men and a child staring directly at you, with terrifying, bottomless black eyes and no whites. It was incredibly eerie and disturbing! No wonder I had previously seen comments from guests saying their seats were in front of this giant painting. I couldn't understand why such a terrifying and unsettling painting of men and a child would be displayed at the entrance of a five-star hotel's high-end restaurant. Seeing this horrifying painting as I left only deepened the unpleasantness of this buffet experience!

Den 29. mai dro vi til Harbour Grand Kowloon for en rikholdig lunsjbuffet (12:00-14:30). Prisen var rimelig og ga god valuta for pengene. Utvalget av mat var stort, og kvaliteten var garantert deilig. Personalet på hotellet ga god service. Jeg har vært der mange ganger og har aldri vært misfornøyd. Vi satt nær maten, da vi var to personer, inkludert en eldre person som ønsket enkel tilgang til maten. Omgivelsene var fine med store vinduer som slapp inn mye lys, selv om airconditionen var litt utilstrekkelig, men det var ikke et stort problem. Når det gjelder maten, var det stekt biff, som jeg liker best, laksesashimi, blekksprut, ferske kamskjell og ferske reker – alt var ferskt og variert. Kakene og dessertene var tilfredsstillende. Det var litt mangel på bestikk, men det ble raskt fylt på, kanskje kjøkkenet ikke rakk å vaske og erstatte det. Jeg gir totalt fem stjerner og er fornøyd.

This was an incredibly high-value experience. The food quality was excellent; the lobster was very fresh and sweet, and even the grilled oysters weren't tough. The Chinese chef at this buffet seemed particularly skilled; even simple siu mai demonstrated a deep level of expertise. The restaurant also provided each person with a fish maw soup dumpling. All the hot Chinese dishes were delicious, and the Southeast Asian dishes were also very flavorful. There was a wide variety of food choices. This package also included unlimited sparkling wine, and the timing was very generous, allowing us to dine until 10 PM. It's a highly recommended experience! 👍🏻

Fullsetning, god variasjon av mat, personalet rydder raskt tallerkener, og kokkene er entusiastiske og høflige. Siden lokalet ikke er så stort, er det plassert mest mulig mat på den begrensede plassen, men bordene er ganske små og står tett. I midten av måltidet var det feiring med bursdagskake hvor bursdagspersonen kunne ta bilder, og det var til og med noen som spilte gitar og sang bursdagssang for å skape god stemning. Etter fotograferingen ble det ringt med en bjelle, og alle kunne stille seg i kø for å få en bit av Napoleon-kaken med fruktblanding, som smakte godt. Kveldens beste retter var spyd med oksetunge og en porsjon thailandsk agurk med abalone per person. Faktisk er 99 prosent av buffeten på Royal Garden i et lukket rom med svært få vindusplasser, men i kveld var jeg heldig og fikk sitte ved vinduet, slik at jeg kunne se lysshowet over Victoria Harbour klokken åtte. Så koselig!
