For those of you who are visiting Hong Kong, you need to be aware that locals who hold an American Express Platinum credit card can get up to 50% discount when dining here. As a result, the restaurant has increased their prices significantly to counter the credit card promotion that is widely used by locals. As a result, tourists end up paying significantly more for the food relative to similar establishments. For example, a Peking Duck here costs an incredible $400 HKD, which can be found at mu
Secondly, the quality of food has gone down significantly. I have been dining here for generations and it has grown to become a large cafeteria like establishment to cater to foreigners simply because the restaurant has a view of the harbour. A matter of fact, unless your table is next to the window, most tables will not have a view of the harbour and not to mention the ceilings are incredibly low.
Food and quality of service has gone down tremendously over the years. Plates and napkins are dirty, waiters and management staff have very bad attitudes. The last few times we have been here the Peking Duck had tasted very dry and overcooked. It has this unpleasant lamblike taste which is nasty!
Lastly, the management here are tricky. We ordered a fried rice dish and asked the waiter to kindly leave the meat out of the rice as my wife is vegetarian. When the bill came out, we ended up paying significantly more for a plain bowl of fried rice with egg because it was considered a "special request" and not a menu item. So what was supposedly a $40 fried rice dish ($80 - 50% off) became a $118 plain fried rice dish with no discount because it was not on the menu. First off, if they couldn't just leave out the meat on a regular fried rice order, the waiter should have told us. Secondly, if it was a special off the menu item, they should have told us the price beforehand and the price should be reasonable. At best, the price for a plain bowl of fried rice should not be anymore expensive than the most expensive seafood, meat, and vegetable fried rice. SHADY!?
