Having eaten here without the benefit of reading prior reviews, I was ready to join a long list of people singing Night Market's praises. So where are all the positive reviews?We quite enjoyed our meal. Maybe a little too much deep frying but that was our eyes talking louder than our stomachs and not a reflection on the food. Which, as I mentioned, was quite enjoyable. Photos below. What else can I say? Oh, this: If you don't like Chinese-American food you might easily take issue with the menu

If you don't like Chinese-American food you might easily take issue with the menu selection. Not that the food is Chinese-American, rather that it Venn diagrams into that oval of Chinese cuisine known to HKies as "the stuffs the gweiloh likes". Doesn't mean it ain't yummy though.
The service was efficient and courteous. In Chinese and English. 明白嗎?
We went on a weekend and for a short while, had the 6/F to ourselves. The people who expected to score seats on their own terms during weekday lunch in Central? Probably still moaning about the bad experience while eating 飯盒 at their desks because they can't manage to plan ahead. If you think it's inconvenient because these people are trying to squeeze profits out of a small number of covers (seats), try rocking up to even a modest restaurant during weekday lunch in the City of London, Midtown Manhattan, pretty much anywhere in Paris, and see what happens. Yes, that's going to be the norm in HK if rents keep going up. So if you really like food then don't be lazy about your lunch plans.
A really cold Yebisu beer in a frosted glass. Now that was really nice.
No doubt this restaurant has let people down. It's a business. But they didn't let us down and, at least in my mind, that means they know how to run their business properly. Sorry to see that so many people didn't get the proper experience. We certainly did.
