I made a reservation for a weekday evening at 7 PM with Bistrochat, and I couldn't have been happier! The Tai Hang branch, conveniently located next to the Lotus Temple, was delightfully quiet on a weekday night. It’s about an 8-10 minute walk from the MTR station.Upon being seated, the waiter promptly informed me about the items that were sold out, which I appreciated. I’m definitely coming back for the meatballs next time! The restaurant was only about 30% full so it was not packed. The waiter
Upon being seated, the waiter promptly informed me about the items that were sold out, which I appreciated. I’m definitely coming back for the meatballs next time! The restaurant was only about 30% full so it was not packed. The waiter was patient and allowed us plenty of time to decide on our orders. We opted for the tasting menu, which included Cold Cuts & Cheese, Tomato Bruschetta, Carbonara, and Roasted Italian Suckling Pig. For dessert, we both chose the Tiramisu. Every dish was delicious, but the Suckling Pig was a standout—crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, accompanied by mushrooms and creamy mashed potatoes. The Tiramisu was the highlight of the evening, featuring a smooth, creamy cheese layer with rum-soaked ladyfingers that provided a perfect balance to finish our meal. We also ordered Spiked Lemonades with Vodka and homemade lemonade, both of which were incredibly refreshing.
This dining experience was a birthday celebration, and the staff went above and beyond to make it special. They wrote "Happy Birthday" with my friend's name on the Tiramisu dish, lit a candle, and the whole restaurant joined in singing "Happy Birthday." As a lovely gesture, they also treated us to Limoncello as a celebration gift. It was truly heartwarming — thank you for everything!
The only downside was the discomfort caused by the smell of cigarette smoke. Since the restaurant is open-air, when customers near the door smoked on the pedestrian walkway, I could still smell it even while seated inside. There were also patrons smoking just outside the floor-to-ceiling doors next to us, and the scent drifted through the gaps. We ended up leaving earlier than planned, which does make me consider visiting another branch next time.
Despite the personal drawback of the cigarette smoke, I genuinely loved the food, drinks, desserts, service, vibe, and overall atmosphere of the restaurant. Thank you for a wonderful evening filled with great memories!
