I love theme restaurants. When I saw this in a recent magazine article, I checked it off to go pay it a visit.Container Factory Restaurant serves Korean and has a theme where you pretend you are eating in a factory store house. Yup. You heard right.Located in Tsim Sha Tsui, where there are a number of other Korean restaurants, you find this place. It's not hard to find as it's red in color. When we found the restaurant, there was actual road construction outside. Ironically fitting for this them
Container Factory Restaurant serves Korean and has a theme where you pretend you are eating in a factory store house. Yup. You heard right.
Located in Tsim Sha Tsui, where there are a number of other Korean restaurants, you find this place. It's not hard to find as it's red in color. When we found the restaurant, there was actual road construction outside. Ironically fitting for this theme.
Inside was very cool indeed! The design had everything focused on construction. The walls looked like factory containers.
They even had construction hats where I saw some people wear them to take selfies.
The menu is in English, Chinese and Korean. They focused more on more popular modern Korean dishes such as fried chicken and pizza.Mangoade ($55). I ordered this drink. It pretty much tasted like soda water with mango syrup. It was ok, but a bit on the sweet side.
Meronia ($60). Boyfriend ordered this as his drink as he saw a photo and saw a popsicle stuck in it. Yup and that's what he got. A stick of Korean melon popsicle in his melon smoothie drink with a bit of soju in it. At first sip, there wasn't a lot of melon taste. But after he mashed his melon popsicle, the melon flavor came through and it just tasted like the melted popsicle.
Chicken Pane ($190). We saw pretty much everyone was ordering this, so we followed. This was actually fried chicken with cheese sauce and a large roll of bread. The bread was actually really good. A nice hearty loaf that was tearable, soft and chewy. It was filled with a cheese type sauce as well. The chicken had bones but oddly, it was a bit dry. The skin was crispy but the meat was dry.
Bulgogi Pan Cheeze Pizza with Garlic Bread ($150). Noting this as something we tried recently elsewhere, we decided to give this place a try as well. The pizza was very cheesey with a few pieces of bulgogi placed on top. I was expecting it to have a lot more bulgogi topping so that made me a bit disappointed. On the bottom there was a tortilla shell, making it like a crust. That was interesting and seemed to more like a psuedo quesadella than a pizza.
Fun theme looking place with food that is ok. Food does need a bit of improvement but it wasn't entirely unedible. I suspect it's still new so still going through growing pains. Service was quite good and helpful in explaining what menu items were.
