Well Lo Shunde Cuisine — Restaurant in Hong Kong Island

Well Lo is located at the 16th floor of the building, facing Victoria Park. There are about 10 tables in the whole floor. Attentive staff service but not up to a professional standard, however still acceptable.

In general, their food is usually over salted and not freshly prepared / cooked. Well Lo also serves Dim Sums during lunch time. In our gathering, we tried their chef recommended dinner menu.

Fried Goose A bit salty and over done, causing the meat difficult to chew. The goose is not fresh, not tasty and not yummy.

Roasted fish intestine with eggs Not hot and no fragrance when serving. The dish is like a steamed pudding but adding not enough water, hard and no taste.

Shrimp toasts Shrimps are fresh but the toasts are oily. You will feel a mouthful of oil.

Deep fried minced fish pancake Fish is really not very fresh. Both sides of the pancake are not brown but with burning marks. You may see a layer of oil on it. If the frying oil is hot enough, you may see a brown surface embracing the pancake.

Vegetables in soup It is nice and the most delicious dish for the dinner. If they can reduce salt, it will be perfect.

Sauteed minced duck in lettuces It is the second best dish for the dinner. Taking minced duck and pine nuts on lettuces, perfect.

Well Lo is a place suitable for social gathering in the evening because of it spacious area and nice park view. Having said that their food quality and cooking skill are, frankly speaking, poor. If you want good food and good taste, Well Lo may not...

Starting the meal with hair in my tea and lacking apology sends a big signal.

It all starts with an unattractive baby melody music on loop that signals lack of taste.

I can put this aside but the menu itself lacks attention and looks like someone in middle school created.

The food lacks skill as the shrimp dumping skin falls apart.

We started at 11:30 and I place my order and the did not see food arriving until 11:50.

The wait staff lacks smile and cheerfulness.

In this economic dismay, you would think we would get some smiles.

Everything we ate lacked quality.

The soup dumpling lacked seasoning and 80 percent of the things we ordered as not edible.

We over heard the manager routing on the wait staff.

For all you can eat, pay 50 hkd more and go to Nuhai in TST.

Great location but lacked hospitality basics.

For instance, the manager asked me what had arrived since they did not have a system of what arrived.

This restaurant is famous for its Shunde cuisines. For those who are sitting near the window, the view is spectacular. We ordered three dishes for the four of us; all of them were typical Shunde cuisines. Two of them were quite good, but we were slightly disappointed with the "Fish Lips" which was not so good as we expected. Moreover, it was the most expensive dish among the three dishes...
