Sweetheart Garden Restaurant — Restaurant in Hong Kong Island

I was recommended this restaurant as a solid place for Hong Kong style western food.

The cheese fish fillet baked rice and ox tongue spaghetti was very disappointing. When it came out, the plate was piping hot but the food was already lukewarm and mushy. The cheese and fish fillets were flavourless.

The spaghetti sauce was flavourless and the texture of the noodles were mediocre. The Ox tongue had a rubbery texture and was bland.

The worst part of the experience was the service. I understand servers in Hong Kong tend to be a bit rougher around the edges, but there is still a certain standard which is to be met. The staff here were just plain rude and dismissive.

The place is inexpensive as both dishes in a lunch set cost $70 HKD and came with soup...

Unfortunately, the quality had gone downhill. The soup and steak is quite bland and flavorless. I ordered New Zealand Ribeye... but it tasted like some cheap meat with no taste. I think they used way too much tenderizer, so it is without a steak's texture. They also don't give bread anymore to meals other than iron plates.

(original) This more like it, smoking hot sizzling plate sirloin steak with extra sauce, soup + tea...

This place is steak restaurant with more than 30 years history in Hong Kong. Not the top tier restaurant, but considering the price, I would say one of the best steak restaurants in Hong Kong. The photo I just uploaded is only HK$69, and even with 10% service charges, its less than HK$100(approx US$12) during lunchtime. (except the escargot) Unfortunately, this restaurant have no access...
