The Wanchai branch was pleasantly located outside the tram stop opposite Southorn sports ground, near the bakery.
There is a flight of stairs that take you up to the restaurant. Before you enter, there is a small counter for you to check in. I arrived on time, and so did some other people who booked, however the restaurant was not ready yet for the customers to come upstairs, hence everyone waited another 5 minutes.
I was surprised that my booking details were printed on their list rather than hand-written one like other places.
At the bottom of the stairs, one side was mirrors, and so was some part of the restaurant, walled mirrors, which was quite cool.
The restaurant was split into two sections, the buffet section and the dine in section, and a bright hallway leading to the dining area. In the hallway, there was a desserts cabinet with high-end looking desserts and dressed up chefs standing there looking professional.
Anyway sat down, and started ticking away at the food selection and submitted them to the waitress, however she recommended that we were only to submit some as the food would come very fast and the table wouldn’t be big enough.
This was true, the food did come fast, however when it got busier, the items came a lot slower.
As one of the waiters brought out the skewers, it was actually touching his shirt, so I mentioned it to him, and he disposed of it, instead of serving us that one.
Overall the food was OK, the fried food was slightly disappointing, as the oil wasn’t fresh.
Their items with cream sauce were not that good either such as the pasta and dried shrimps, baked oyster and bacon, and mussel. Their cream sauce was a bit heavy, also the baked oyster had a massive piece of shell in it.
One of the side dishes was good, the tiny pot of vinegar jelly with seaweed.
Although it was Japanese food, I felt that it wasn’t that Japanese, such as the lamb chops, soft pork bones. Basically the food is similar to Aoba.
