UCC Coffee Shop (Causeway Bay Plaza) — Restaurant in Hong Kong Island

Lunch set includes one meal, salad bar and one drink which sounds like an OK deal until you realize that all the food is actually tasteless. The spaghetti I ordered where the blandest I had in my life and I had to drench them in salt and pepper to at least keep myself from wanting to kill myself on the spot. They only let you go to the salad bar once, however, there's no purpose in going more than once anyway since the salad selection is lackluster to say the least. Not even cucumber. I took a mountain of potato salad which again, was so bland it was an affront to the very concept of potato salad. I drenched my lettuce in sesame sauce in a vain attempt to fill the void that this sham of a lunch left in my soul. And all of that for 170. Even half that price would have been too much. Coffee is alright and the place is nice and comfy though so if you just want a cup it's alright I suppose, but don't fall for the trap that is their food. Just go to...

firstly, service. the waiters have bad attitudes towards customers, even worse than 茶餐廳waiters. I specifically asked if the tea was in a pot and could be refilled, and they said it was only applicable if we ordered separately, in a really ignored manner (i don’t think they gave a care about our accommodations) . so we did, and turns out, we didn’t get the pot. so then, we complained and they just gave an eye roll and after looking for them, we realised they canceled our order.

we ordered 3 spaghettis - 2 tomato seafood and 1 carbonara. the quality of the food was not worth the price. as a spending customer in hong kong, i do understand that usually foods are priced at 150+, for a decent meal. but the food was messily placed and barely had any ingredients in it. it tasted like diluted supermarket sauce with dollar shop pasta. i couldn’t...

Dinning at UCC was like a walk down the memory lane. It was one of those early Japanese cafes / brands that entered Hong Kong with their popular dishes such as special blended coffee, waffles, Wafu pasta and let’s not forget the infamous salad bar.

Nowadays, I can’t help but feel a little disappointed by its qualities and services. The whole self-serve ordering with QR code felt very impersonal and when you got a chance to interact with their waitresses, they were not overly welcoming.

Food wise were okay. The pork cutlet curry rice was on a sweeter side and the seafood soup spaghetti & risotto had way less seafood than they were pictured. As for dessert, the waffle was as good as I remembered.

Overall, the experience was far from the one I had in...
