Carbone Hong Kong

The vibe is really good for chilling out with friends in small groups; if you want to dine with 6+ people, reservations are required in advance. I recommend going with spicy rigatoni vodka. And please order some wine. They have a vault full of a fine selection which really impresses us.

The worst black sheep restaurant. Made the reservation and still have to wait 30 mins in a crowded bar, and it’s not like they offering complimentary drinks or anything u just stand there and wait, i remember it written in the reservation after 15 mins late they reserve the right to cancel the table maybe it should be fair to the customer that we can call it off too. Then saw the people after us get in so I asked the waitress and she be like there’s nothing we can do, maybe don’t take that many reservations when u don’t actually have that many seats?? And some tables are at the same place where this crowded bar is with many People standing and talking and waiting for their seats, I am not sure I wanna pay this much $ to sit here in this environment. Move forward to the food. Everything is a bit rushed, they came put down the food and don’t even introduce anything. The food is always a bit cold when they come. Octopus Pizzialo has the bitterness outside. The Fettuccine al Ragu taste really not good, the texture of the pasta is weird. The steak was okay. In other black sheep restaurant they always change your plate before the next dish and here I have to ask them to change my plate. We ordered still water and the waitress refilled us the tap water the first time, also it’s shorthanded and we don’t see the waitress often, everytime asking for refill, change plate, paying the bill take us some time. The music is quite loud and also people talking really loud. Really have to raise the voice to talk with people in the same table. Plus the area near this crowded bar, its a bit chaos. Also notice most asians were arranged to the bar area when they were two, in my area in the middle of the restaurant it’s all white popele in two sitting in four people’s seat. The cake trolley was moved all over the restaurant without any coverage on the surface, hope they just for display. I understand it could be extra busy in black series week but with this kind of vibes, service and food I will not come back again.

Exceeded my expectations in every way! Dinner at Carbone was the highlight of my trip in Hongkong. Food quality was outstanding with generous portion and I loved the ambience of the restaurant, classy but not pretentious, great music playlist too! The only disappointment was the dessert part. They brought a cake gueridon to showcase dessert without guidance on portion and price. We were a group of 4 and our server recommended 1 portion for 2 people (we could not finish our entrees which should signal that we were already quite full). We ordered 2 and it was way too much, we ended up wasting the cake which also added a significant amount to our bill. Nevertheless, we went home happy and will definitely return.

This is clearly the place to be. Jack is a Hong Kong legend and has created an amazing vibe here at this fantastic Italian restaurant in the heart of Lan Kwai Fong. If you can get a reservation, Jack personally greets you when you get off the elevator and escorts you to your table. A rather eclectic mix of music blasts through the loudspeakers frequently interrupted by birthday or anniversary songs for the groups of patrons celebrating their special events here. The food is off the charts good - but the scene really is what will have you wanting to come back. The Argentinian bartender was friendly, knowledgeable and talented bearing an awesome vibe from the get go. Jackcello caps off the evening with a delectable sweet and tart finish. Hope to come back!

The atmosphere here is really lovely, and the people are friendly and enjoying themselves! However, I was a bit let down by one of the dishes. It didn’t quite match my expectations for the price—the meat was tough, and the cheese didn’t blend well with it. Overall, though, I’m still having a nice time!

Carbone Hong Kong was incredibly disappointing. The moment we walked in, the smell was awful, like sewage covered with perfume to mask it. We ordered the burrata with prosciutto, and the prosciutto was extremely low quality. We asked for a Caesar salad with very little garlic, but our server didn’t even seem to know what garlic was, and the dressing turned out to be premade. The meatballs were cold and mostly bread. We asked for pasta cooked al dente, and again, our server didn’t know what that meant. The only good dish was the spicy rigatoni — the sauce was genuinely great. If that dish hadn’t been good, the entire meal would have been a complete disaster. It’s sad to see such an iconic brand decline. In New York, the service is exceptional with highly trained staff, so you expect something similar in Hong Kong. The sommelier however was fantastic !

Sadly a disappointment compared to New York. Overly dark, very slow service and salmon was over cooked/dry. To add insult to injury they forgot my order and then rushed it out after everyone else at the table was almost done. No sorry, but they did remember to put the second spaghetti dish on the bill. They also advised about being a smart casual establishment, yet majority of patrons were in T-shirts and shorts. Would not recommend.

Love the attention to detail that Black Sheep put into every one of their places! A 1960’s Italian nyc vibe. The Caesar salad is a performance, the food is sublime and the staff are fantastic! Extra shout out to Valentina who was our server and just lovely!
