Its interior design is nothing to scream about, looks typically just like another japanese restaurant, however, it is not overly crowded and does not have a commercialised feel. Having said this, reservation is required. Presentation and quality of food is something to talk about. Walk away with the satisfaction of top notch memorable meal

Chinese - HK
Do not mix this up with its sister restaurant, Royal China just a few doors down (which you can ignore as the standard and quality of food has plummeted in the past year), RCC is a smallish restaurant that basically serves almost everything you can get in Royal China except with more finesse at a slightly higher price tag. Unlike RC, RCC is more specialised and focuses mainly on seafood. There is less queue here, however, please note that reservation is still necessary especially during lunch hours or on weekends.

Chinese - Famous for their roast duck
Original branch in Queensway but as most successful restaurants are, they have branched out, there are 2 in Chinatown, go to the one on Gerard St. Quick meal, cheap, atmosphere is not great and the service is fast but not very refined. Don't be offended if they hand you the bill even when not requested! Do try the aromatic crispy duck or the roast duck on rice and the red bean pancake for dessert

Persian
Just off Warwick Avenue, this is a top-notch place and prices are higher than usual. Go there if you want somewhere fancy, but expect to spend more money. The upside is the quality is good. Torsh means sour or acidic. Iranians love anything torsh ّ(people call me insane, but I used to drink a glass of abghoreh or verjuice – unripe grape juice – every day in Iran). Kabab torsh is chargrilled marinated breast end of lamb in pomegranate juice, crushed walnuts, young grapes and fresh mint served with saffron rice. Reservation is needed.

Their head chef, Farshid Ziafat, has been at the heart of the restaurant for 25 years; his passion for great food is the key to their longstanding reputation for quality and excellence.
