Andō

Exceptional dining experience at this Michelin-starred gem in Central! Everything was outstanding, but the soup rice (Arroz Caldoso with king crab, turmeric, kaffir lime, and local Yi O rice) was particularly soul-warming and flavorful. The Spanish lamb (with garbanzo, zucchini, red miso, and black olives) was splendid—perfectly cooked and richly satisfying. The black olive sourdough bread was hands-down my favorite of the year: crusty, tangy, and addictive. And the Lisa fish (served with seaweed pancake and nameko mushrooms, paired with cava) is simply the best I’ve ever had—flaky, fresh, and elevated to perfection. As someone in the wine industry, I was truly amazed by the thoughtful wine pairings—they elevated every course beautifully. Highly recommend for anyone seeking creative Spanish-Japanese fusion in an elegant setting. Worth every penny!

I would say the service here was the standout. The fishers were good and well balanced and well paced. There was nothing that I would say is a clear standout. Just food well done. Overall I like Ando, just not at a repeat experience level. But if you have not been, it’s a good place to try.

From the appetiser to the final bite of dessert, this was a truly remarkable meal. Each dish was executed with incredible skill and flavor especially the carabinaro red prawns and the . With this level of consistent excellence, the restaurant is clearly operating well beyond the recognition of a single Michelin star.

The food and atmosphere at Ando are solid, but the vibe from Mr. Chiu, the general manager, was really off. He kept throwing out these subtle looks that felt disrespectful, which made the whole experience uncomfortable. I hope he can start treating every customer with the respect they deserve. Even the smallest gestures and eye rolls came across as really insincere. On top of that, he gave off an arrogant vibe and shot us a judgmental look just because we didn’t ask for the wine pairing. That kind of attitude is totally unacceptable.

The restaurant has strong marketing and engaging storytelling with each dish. Service and presentation are good, but the flavours were very disappointing. Everything was tasteless.

The interior and hospitality were on point, with a warm welcome and lovely menu introduction. The food was standard, but I would love a kick or a surprise regarding a tasting menu. I recommend it to anyone looking for a Michelin restaurant.

We had the Lunch Presentation menu (4 course). Food was tasty and the service was excellent. Stella is such a gem, we had a nice chat with her about food and drinks!

I’ve been to many Michelin starred restaurants but I would say this is one of the most deserving. We had such a great time interacting with the staff who were all so keen to share and teach us about the dishes especially the ingredients and prep methods. Love how the food was so fresh everything was made with the consumer in mind. What really impressed me was the staff stopping us from ordering the menu with the most number of dishes because he knew we weren’t able to finish. He was right, towards the end of the meal we were so stuffed. I can taste the sincerity right from the heart, all the way from the kitchen to the table from dish one till the end. We were also offered an extra dessert from the pastry chef at the end of the meal.
