As I work in Central / Sheung Wan and like most areas, finding venues for lunch can be quite a challenge especially when the weather is very bad. Anyway, for any of you that tries to find food in Shun Tak knows that, the usual places are fully packed and may need to spend more time queuing than eating. I thought I will give UPP Kitchen & Bar a try because I don't really want to waste time queuing for 30mins when I only have 1hr lunch break. Surprisingly, I didn't really need to wait too long
We ordered the soup and salad (for starters) and salmon (for main). I felt the portion was a bit small and the quality was just average. The soup was warm (not hot) and there wasn't a lot of salmon/fish. They serve garlic bread, but again very small portion and wasn't that crispy/hot as I thought it would be.
More importantly, I felt the service was not that great. One of the main reasons why the soup/food was warm and not hot, I believe that the service was very inconsistent. Perhaps lack of staff and I am guessing the food had been waiting to get served for a bit of time before the staff took it out. I observed, the tables nearby, one lady (sat down when I arrived, ordered before me) was eating alone and had to wait 30mins for her steak to arrive, had to consistently remind the staff. When I was about to finish, her steak arrived.
I don't know about you but considering that most people have approx 1hr lunch break (including walking away/back from office) and the poor customer service level, I may give it a miss. This to be fair, was the last resort on a wet weather because there weren't any other choices. I think with the price and the service level, it isn't that worth it. Lets hope they improve.
