The steak tip charcoal sandwich was by far the best item on the menu. We went for the fish burger, so tried the ma yau fish burger which was just OK. Like what others have said, it's a bit fishy, and personally would also have preferred it more if they removed the skin from the fish before frying. Staff were friendly and service was quick. Would come back again to try perhaps try the lamb burger and also get the steak tip sandwich again.

Have been to this restaurant multiple times. Their burgers and toasts are super good, especially their beef. Their fries are good too. As they're famous in burger and fish, I have never try their udon and rice yet.

the burger was a bit fishy, and given the price point I'd have expected more in quality, udon with chicken soup is a nice try

A decent restaurant within the centre of famous street food area of Tai On Building at Sai Wan Ho. 5 mins walk from MTR station. They had some burgers fusion with Chinese dishes, Udon, fish and chips made from fresh fishes fillet. Other than French fries, you can request for Yam fries as well. Some of the bus are made with chocolate chips.

Have to admit the fish burger was fresh and juicy. Fries were excellent. Price seemed a tad high for the location and portion was reasonable. Will try a burger there next time. Staff was friendly and quality was good.

We came here on a Saturday afternoon and were told that last order is 3pm. Their burger is great, the beef is tender and juicy, but it’s a bit expensive ($98-113). There are two paper whales hanged in the ceiling which makes the restaurant special.
