I like the food here, very artistic style and the service is great. Tastes good as well

On the last night of my two week vacation to Japan and Hong Kong, what better way was there to spend it other than one of the top 50 world’s best restaurants with two Michelin stars? I came here with two girlfriends for the set menu on a Monday night and we were definitely not disappointed. I would go so far as to say that it was one of the best meals of my life!
One of my favorites right off the bat was a glass of tomato water that tasted like tomato soup even though it was completely clear (how do they do that?) which was served an amuse-​bouche. Other highlights were the violin zucchini (I didn’t realize how much I was missing avocado in my Asia life until that dish!), cuttlefish a la carbonara, miyazaki wagyu beef, comte cheese on the french unpasteurized cheese plate, olive bread that was served as much as we wanted, lemon & thyme ice cream with a.o.c. sollies figs and dulcet chocolate. Ok, so this was over half of the set menu. :) But, I can’t help it! All of it was delicious.
I also have to give a shout out to our servers — Jeffrey & Fagan. We didn’t feel the least bit neglected for a minute and they did an amazing job at showing three ladies a wonderful night! They even brought us some small bites (chocolates, pineapple cake, etc.) to take for the road. If you resemble a foodie in any way shape or form, you must visit this restaurant on your trip to Hong Kong!

You have to try the signature sea urchin dish. Truly amazing place, no wonder is one of the best restaurants in the world

Very hard to get bookings but met a few colleagues for lunch. As expected well orchestrated three course meal. The meal starts with whimsical amuse bouch of savory macaroon filled with fennel/​lemon mousse and other tetrahedron like raviolus. My starter was a white asparagus was in season and was delicately paired with Yuxia like Japanese citrus flavor with a chilled velouté. The main was a sea bass. Well prepared but skin was not as crispy as would have liked. The citrus favor paired well with the fish. The flesh of the sea bass filet was prepared well in general but one part of the fish was slightly overlooked. I chose the selection of French cheeses which was presented in a cheese station wheeled to the table. I had a selection of five cheeses starting with three soft cheeses and a mimolet and a Bleu. Three course lunch for four people with water and tea and coffee came to HKD2900.

Expensive and unmemorable. We had fancy looking primo and secondo dishes that didn’t blow me away, even with help from a bottle of Super Tuscany.

I love this restaurant. It’s the perfect place to celebrate a special occasion for dinner, and perfect place for a business lunch.
I came for dinner once for my birthday, another for an engagement dinner. Both times food was amazing, service was superb, and overall experience delightful. The food comes in small portions but you do get full. I think menu changes according to seasonal food, but I highly recommend this place to celebrate special occasion.
Also, they have a bar area to have chill drinks after work that doesn’t require reservations.

almost very definitely the best meal I had last year.
food delicious, service fantastic, ambiance terrific. top stars and major ticks in every box.
numbero four-​no on the san pelligrino’s top 50 list for asia, the process started off easy-​peasy with online reservations, and rapid response in the form of a courteous, personal email that noted my mention of my BFF’s (aren’t you honored, stef) birthday celebration.
we arrived at the mandarin oriental to a beautiful restaurant with floor-​to-​ceiling windows, all wood and lush textures — very tasteful and elegant, and so much beautiful light coming through at lunchtime.
I’ve found that although some snobs people turn their noses up at the lunch sets, they very often are a measure of just how good the restaurant can be, even when you aren’t ordering their most expensive entrees — and how professional their wait staff are in serving you, regardless of what you’ve ordered. so we did that here, a four-​course weekday set meal that started with two glossy-​red balls of beetroot-​raspberry-​pâté mousse on lollypop sticks, a selection of warm bread, and tiny pastry tubes with crab and avocado purée.
we had a couple bowls of soup, a creamy white asparagus one served with beautiful sprigs of coriander and a delicate tuile topped with tiny shrimp — and one that looked like a veritable garden.
the portions are more than reasonable, beautiful, and generous enough for you to feel like you’re feasting, without any too-​early satiety as a result. our mains followed at a leisurely pace, a simple fillet of amberjack seared and served with roasted carrots, and how-​is-​it-​possible tender cuts of pork served with morels and a dark au jus.
when a meal is this good — I usually worry about dessert, which for me is the most important part of the meal (and the one from which I take the most memories).
completely irrelevant here, as it turned out — we started with sticks of housemade magnum, a mélange of cut berries and meringue shells over a shallow pool of silky berry consommé and jelly, and a deeply, darkly luxurious triangle of chocolate entremet that had crunchy, rich insides, a glossy black ganache, and served alongside coconut sorbet. always so gratifying when flavours live up to both appearance and expectation.
we also, greedily, ordered a chocolate soufflé to share — and it was ephemeral, and a very good choice if you’re looking for something both sweet and light to finish off what had already been a delicious, fantastic, best-​this-​year kind of meal.
I mentioned earlier that this was a birthday celebration (Steffi’s!), and the lovely people at amber so graciously brought us a three-​tiered display of tiny bon bons, meringues and jellies alike, as well as an elegant box of the most adorable pink macaroons.
service is top of its class — friendly, helpful, and warm without being intrusive; and the space is both elegant enough for a business do, and intimate enough for dining with friends. the best experience for a while yet — almost on par with my favorite gordon ramsay at royal hospital road (and I think that the highest praise possible).

Amazing lunch. Leaded by a great team. I will remember this adventure of flavours and hospitality for a very long time. Lunch is very good value.
If I could give 10 stars on Unilocal I would do!

enjoyed a fine dining meal here about five years ago now. thus there has already been a chef change, but restaurant still would be nice for special occasions, and should please most experienced diners.
