It's a version of my polish ex father in-laws chicken/vege broth - so cleansing, The crab with ginger and spring onion is also amazing but I would recommend as part of a banquet, too much for two.

Wa...Worst experience I've had at a restaurant! <br />Waited 25 minutes for our meal and it was supposed to be accompanied by rice which we had to ask for and then had to wait another 5 minutes for that. Our drinks NEVER came and our entree arrived after our main and only because we inquired abou this and drinks. The owners little boy run around the restaurant flinging a toy which was twice retrieved under our table! Our mandarin prawns were tasteless , my partners dim sims were terrible . We were charged for drinks which we had to have taken of the bill. When we paid our change was slammed down on a tray at the counter even though I held my hand out. Never again !!!!!!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2166641060916490585.post-9454900491746608092011-11-19T19:34:58.736+11:002011-11-19T19:34:58.736+11:00Food was edible but the service i agree was TERRIB...Food was edible but the service i agree was TERRIBLE. You have to ask for an item more than 3 times if you're lucky they even remember what you asked for. If you don't speak cantonese, then bad luck. Half the staff there do not even understand simple english like 'CHOPPED CHILLI' - how dumb is that. One of the worst experience in a HKBBQ restaurant ever.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2166641060916490585.post-8557274183200505092011-08-17T10:27:26.918+10:002011-08-17T10:27:26.918+10:00Hi ngizee...

Surprisingly though I am yet to find a BBQ place that betters HKB. I have had it around the CBD and also in Richmond and Springvale. I always return to HKB though and they are yet to fail my expectations with food whereas the service went out the door years ago - in fact i don't think it ever was there in the first place.ngizeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01893143042697985281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2166641060916490585.post-6896403069853189102011-04-23T21:58:18.498+10:002011-04-23T21:58:18.498+10:00I have eaten at HK bbq regularly for the last 8 ye...I have eaten at HK bbq regularly for the last 8 years, it has always been consistantly good, no outstanding would be a better description. Decor is crap, service is so so ambience is raucus but the food is always spot on. There are certain items on the menu that one must try, the jellyfish & duck salad, the steamed baramundi, the lobster with ginger & spring onion are all outstanding dishes, the crispy skin pork & peaking duck are excellent. This restaraunt is consistantly packed out at peak times, if it was as bad as you make it out to be its doors would have closed a long time ago.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2166641060916490585.post-12868115451448723552010-09-14T20:28:33.811+10:002010-09-14T20:28:33.811+10:00Anon, thanks for your recs.
