Steak seems to be something that is very hard to find in HK, steak done properly anyway. Having read a few reviews I decided to give Tango a go, I had had a couple of verbal recommendations as well, some positive, some negative. But we wanted to go out for steak and thought an Argentinian Steakhouse should have some scope to get it right. Alas I was wrong.Service was fine, no wait to be seated and barely had time to take a breath before we were asked about water - realized why when the bill c
Service was fine, no wait to be seated and barely had time to take a breath before we were asked about water - realized why when the bill came!
The menu is not extensive, a little disappointing given that relatively easy to put together most of the menu via the grill - even the steak choices were very limited.
We had the Empanadas (three on the menu, had one of each), they were quite nice, perhaps a little overcooked. The hand cut Sirloin one appeared to have been made by a first timer, or perhaps dropped before cooked, either way it was a very different shape to the other two. But they were on the whole ok. The entree plates were removed but we were left with the same cutlery.
As for mains, we ordered 2 Ribeyes ($338 each), 1 Rump ($278) and 1 Black Cod ($288). The Black Cod came well before the steaks, that meal was half consumed before the steaks arrived. Sauce was water, fish was small and overcooked. Poor value for money. The Rump was deemed ok but not special. The Ribeye was thick but on the whole disappointing, a lot of gristle in the meat and a lot of effort to cut through (contrast this with the Ribeye from Pacific Gourmet which you could cut with a butter knife - although that is cooked at home!). As other reviews note, they rub the meat with a salt based rub so quite salty, was ok, but no offer of cracked pepper. The six condiments that came with it were nothing special, the horseradish sauce appeared to be out of a jar, suspect they were all commercially supplied other than perhaps the salsa.
We had two sides, French Fries ($58) and Mushrooms ($58). The fries were Macca's style, could well have come from Macca's with a garlic butter perhaps drizzed over in the restaurant. Either way, not a $58 side. The mushroom dish had 2 mushrooms and 3 garlic cloves, a little under whelming for the price.
We had two desserts, Churros and the Leche Flan. The Churros were light and again a little overcooked. The Flan has been talked about in other reviews, whilst light it was nothing special, served with reduced condensed milk. Not authentic.
The wine list was quite extensive but the mark-up large even by HK standards, we fancied a Merlot but only 3 to choose, 2 from the US, one Argentinian, we gave the Argentinian a go and it was quite nice. Didn't have a beer but only two on the menu.
The service was attentive and the staff pleasant, the food was expensive and disappointing. I think many people in HK, those that have given Tango a positive review anyway, have not had an opportunity to have a truly decent steak, for them Tango may be acceptable but it will certainly disappoint others. I would not revisit.
