The waiters are abusive and did not provide any service!!! We were even abused by a female waitress behind the bar who used foul language!!!<br /><br /> I cannot believe what we had gone through, this was the only dining place that we have ever stepped foot into and received abuse by the staff, I can only reiterate to diners not to attend this restaurant!!!<br /><br />Even though it states in their menu that the service charge is discretionary the staff and management didn’t even know the meaning of ‘discretionary’ when I refused to pay the service charge.<br /><br />Also the female owner was ignorant to blame us and customers who do not pay the service charge for causing loss of business and because of these incidents she cannot pay her staff wages, business rates, business rent etc… She didn’t even think twice that the attitude that herself and her staff had provided reflects the running of the business and should not to blame customers for their incompetence!<br />http://hkdinerlondon.com/<br />anonbloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08658958116258660062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8659859995099007525.post-23674417305133814842010-10-06T00:35:45.716+01:002010-10-06T00:35:45.716+01:00Sam & Bobo - I'm glad you like HK Diner bu...Sam & Bobo - I'm glad you like HK Diner but for me, there's plenty of other places where I'd rather go for a fix of Cantonese food.

Great tasting food (actually one of my favourite Chinese places in the Capital food wise), not too expensively priced and i found they do not use too much MSG, but beware of the soy sauce / BBQ sauce, which has msg, and i alway have my BBQ meat's with the sauce on a side dish, just ask the waiter.Sam & Bobo Ngnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8659859995099007525.post-40705672819242802882010-09-01T08:47:45.491+01:002010-09-01T08:47:45.491+01:00Now I've started to eat my share of fish balls...Now I've started to eat my share of fish balls I can happily opine that they look like an absolute unrefined mess of a dish (even compared to ones I have had in Kowloon : )Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09523972158924249530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8659859995099007525.post-16206178544492196252010-08-28T18:41:34.392+01:002010-08-28T18:41:34.392+01:00Bobby & Mandy - I'm all for a bit of debat...Bobby & Mandy - I'm all for a bit of debate and I have no problem in you advocating the case for HK Diner. However I I do take exception to some of your comments: <br /><br />1) I have visited HK and Guangzhou frequently over the years and I am well aware what the real deal is. Moreover, I've eaten real Cantonese food all my life, as my parents were born in China. You really shouldn't draw inferences about people based on their language abilities. <br /><br />2) I haven't been to Four Seasons but if they do use MSG, what do you think about my comments regarding HK Diner's excessive use of MSG in their fishball noodles?<br /><br />Oh and by the way, bubble tea originated in Taiwan not Hong Kong.Mr Noodleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13327242172810414292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8659859995099007525.post-65794326864893450572010-08-27T13:37:57.628+01:002010-08-27T13:37:57.628+01:00The only place to get real HK Bubble Tea , Roast D...The only place to get real HK Bubble Tea , Roast Duck, Crispy Pork , BBQ pork & Bake Pork Chop Rice. These are all my favorite food, won't go any where else, try them all, this is the best, and as for the menu being only in chinese, we never have any problem asking the waiter to translate to our BBC & English mate, as in your post you cant read chinese i presume you have never live in Hong Kong and try the real deal.<br /><br />I have try Hung, TPT and 1997, but they do not have the classic Hong Kong feel, and quality of food and drinks, but they are a little bit cheaper. <br /><br />And now that Four Season Restaurant have open opposite, I Have try there Roast Duck and BBQ when they first open, but the food is too full of MSG and the service is so slow, and there pricing is so high, <br /><br />SO ME AND MY MATE WILL BE STICKING WITH HK DINER<br />They are still the best and remind me of home in Kowloon Hong Kong.<br />Bobby and Mandy Ho, and MateBobby & Mandynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8659859995099007525.post-91041271058272113422009-10-03T09:23:21.112+01:002009-10-03T09:23:21.112+01:00Helen - as with most Chinese places, I agree it do...Helen - as with most Chinese places, I agree it does depend on what you order but it isn't a big ask for a Hong Kong style caff to get soup noodles right.
