I arrived on a Monday around 12:20pm without making a reservation and managed to get a table (that seats up to 4 persons). I came first to get seats as I knew the restaurant could get quite busy during lunch time, while my friend was on the way, the waiter repeatedly asked how many people will be arriving which was quite annoying...We made our order at around 12:45pm, my friend ordered a pumpkin crab meat soup and linguine while I skipped the appetiser and ordered the cod filet risotto.

We made our order at around 12:45pm, my friend ordered a pumpkin crab meat soup and linguine while I skipped the appetiser and ordered the cod filet risotto. (the waiter deliberately took the order without mentioning anything...) The soup for my friend came, the linguine for my friend also came and finished, but my risotto was still not here! It was more than 30 minutes and my lunch still has not arrived. I checked with the waiter and asked him to follow up on my order and he told me immediately without even checking " we are preparing it, risotto always take longer"!! Yes, I understand risotto takes longer time to cook, it is also not my first time ordering a risotto at a restaurant yet it never took such a long time to arrive. It would be nice for the wait staff to mention it might take a longer time then usually especially during peak hours when he took my order, or the chef needs a better time management for their customers. I waited 10 more minutes as the risotto was still not here, I went straight up to talk to the same waiter, he told me the risotto will be ready in 3 minutes, again, he just made it up, he did not even go to the kitchen to check, of course, my risotto did not arrive in 3 minutes but couple minutes more. The risotto came, it tasted okay, the skin of the cod filet was seared perfectly and the risotto was done right. BUT the attitude of the waiter was really poor, bye Fast Gourmet, you were once a go-to lunch spot for me in sheung wan but i recently found the service has gone down significantly and there are much better options for me to spend my hard earned money!
