AVOID. We ordered a few appetizers and a main, plus a few drinks. The bill came to around HKD 700 for two people, which was very over-priced considering what we received. The drinks were sub-standard, but the skull glass that one of the cocktails came in was a surprising (albeit superficial) touch that was at the end of the day, a cheap trick.

The appetizers we ordered were: the Cajun-style corn on the cob; chicken wings and grilled shrimp with grits. All of them were mediocre. The corn on the cob (half-heated) was overwhelmed by dollops of mayonnaise and not much else. The chicken wings weren't terrible but at HKD 70-80 for five pieces, they were extortionately overpriced. The grilled shrimp and grits was hugely disappointing. In the US, shrimp is typically peeled and then grilled, creating that characteristic char on the flesh of the meat itself. The shrimp came with the shell fully intact, making it taste more like it had been boiled or stewed (which is fine if we had ordered that, but we didn't!). Everything was lacking Cajun spices.
The main course we ordered (ribs with a side of fries) was tepid and artificial. The ribs did fall off the bone, but tasted oily and lacked flavor. The fries were okay, but tasted like they had been fried or baked from frozen. One of them was even still half-frozen––you can tell when the potato has been packed very tight in the center and is a dense texture, not crumbly and loose like when made fresh.
My husband and I are experiencing stomach cramps and are generally feeling unwell after the meal. Save your dollars and your health and go to a local cha chan teng instead; it's better and cheaper.
