Visited a week ago. Presentation of food looks very good and Instagram worthy. I tried the pork wanton noodles with add-on BBQ pork (aka char siew). Every meat aspect is really good. However I disagree that the BBQ pork is in line with those in Hong Kong. While being very good on its own, it's really too sweet and the fat and lean meat ratio is not the same as in Hong Kong. The deal breaker for me is really the noodles. There is ZERO seasoning. The thing with dry wanton noodles in parts of Asia is they are seasoned with pork lard and oil, sambal chilli sauce, light soy sauce and some vinegarette for acidity. I am so surprised that the noodles, while being delightful to bite, is only blanched with hot water and it has zero taste. No matter how much I try to correct it, they don't have the correct chilli. However I wish to note that the char siew will go very well with rice. Not noodles.
If the noodles can be fixed, I'm very sure it will be a hit.
I was there at about 3pm, way after lunchtime. Typically a dish like wanton noodles should be served within 5 mins given the complexity of the dish. I waited for 15 minutes. During the 15 minutes I observed the crew often knocking over stuff to the floor within their very tight working space. First is a bottle of water, then cutlery, and then servettes. I watch them put the items away but I didn't see if they actually remove them from service. I mean, obviously that can happen on a daily basis? Sit close to the cashier area and I'm sure you can witness this bemusing experience.
The place has nice roasts, but if you are looking for an authentic Hong Kong experience, I say not. It's close, but no. Still, it's worth a visit. Just stay off the...
Read moreActually , I don't like to write reviews about any place but I do hope that these places could see this & improve or feel great about their places .
Went to The Chopstick after watched some good video on instagram & decided to give it a try . The moment I went in the shop , staffs all are so busy with their mobile phone (0100pm ) . I used to work in a restaurant & I suggest restaurant should ban mobile while working . It maybe pass the lunch time period but there are still customer in the restaurant . I was sitted & while looking at my menu . Staffs starts busy with their mobile & no one bothers if I want to order anything . Have to call out few times a bit loud then someone notice & came to take order .
Ordered shrimp noodles , mix char siu & roast pork & stirfried green beans . I especially like the shrimp wantons but the noodles are so tasteless . Is it suppose to be like this in Thai ?? In Malaysia , we mix with some soya sauce & black sauce . Both meats are very tender though but just that roast pork skin is not crispy at all . I took out all the skin & just ate the meats . Meats are flavourful & good .
Last when i went to the restroom , i find out the hygiene in restaurant is so bad . There is this bowl , i suppose is sauce for marinate charsiu was just next to the toilet & wash hand basin . Am I being too strict after living long in Japan but i think all these are just basics of oral hygiene ?? No ? Even in Japan , you can find many sub standards restaurant especially if you are tourist because many young & old japanese cannot...
Read moreI feel terrible having to delist a restaurant off the food list I have for Bangkok but I feel it is only fair to provide a fair review and share with all tourists planning to come to this restaurant
This restaurant is open up till 2am, but at 10pm it was sold out of all roasted pork, roasted duck and char siew. Given that the menu is limited in my honest opinion, one might consider and think twice or call to check before heading down.
We ordered the following: Orange Chicken Fish Maw Soup (S) Crab Claw Noodles (S) 2 Fried Eggs
First and foremost, it could be a concept for the restaurant menu’s but I have never ever had cold fried eggs served up to the table before. The eggs portion could be better in my honest opinion, they looked really small.
Next, the orange chicken served was soft and red on the inside. Again, it could be what the locals are used to and not for tourists, but will suggest to check with customers if they are fine with red soft meat on the insides of chicken because that can come across uncooked. We left it untouched after discovering the 2nd piece with blood on the inside out of the 4 pieces.
The crab claw noodle could probably do with flavouring, the noodles tasted quite bland and dry. Oh, on top of that the crab meat was also served cold?
The redeeming dish was the fish maw soup. Oh, that’s because it was piping hot. The rest of the dishes served were pretty lukewarm, this was a rather...
