Fish Fran Restaurant — Restaurant in Hong Kong Island

Appreciate that they have the bilingual menu. Can pay a visit after your old town tour in SSP. The restaurant is lauded for its spicy hotpot with a variety choice of ingredients to choose.

Service charge of 10% included even though no tissues were provided and staff was generally busy and overwhelmed. Cash and...

Ordered spicy fish noodles, the fish is great and it's tender. However, it's way too much fish bone, and cannot be enjoyed easily. As the restaurant also offered alcohol, people...
