Hon Wo Korean Restaurant: a BBQ buffet with great prices and great selection of dishes

Hon Wo Korean Restaurant, situated above Watsons on Jardine's Crescent in Causeway Bay, Hong Kong, is one of the many great Korean restaurants around the area.  The one thing that differentiates this from other Korean restaurant is it's great price and abundant choices of meat.


Decor

The decor is neither the most bright nor the most clean, but it is definitely what I consider more than clean enough in comparison to most restaurants.  The interior is well air-conditioned, and the tables all have the built in grill, with a lever on the side of the table to easily adjust the heat for the BBQ grill, if the BBQ buffet is what you are in here for.

The way the buffet table is set up is also quite convenient, with several tables angled around each other, and a table by the wall, it makes it easy to access for more than a few people at a time.  Although it may seem a bit messy compared to your traditional straight lined buffet tables, it also lets a limited amount of space to provide the extra few choices of dishes that win the Korean BBQ buffet over some others.





Menu

There is a menu for the a la carte, but as we were here for the BBQ buffet, we only had a chance to try the available dishes at the Buffet table (although the dishes in the a la carte menu do look appetizing).  Personally, me and my girlfriend were really into the meat, as this is definitely one of the specialties of the restaurant, as they had several choices including: raw sliced beef, marinated beef (very delicious), pork chop, faux crab meat, sausages, curry chicken, chicken wings, beef short ribs, squid, cuttle-fish, spam and more.

Some of the already cooked dishes include: Korean style sushi, gyozas (very good), fried rice, french fries, salad, fruit salad and more.

As usual with Korean restaurants, the beloved dishes are also available around the buffet table: salted tiny dried anchovies, preserved daikon, kimchi, spinach, bean sprouts, spicy cucumbers and more.

Once you are done eating, and want to find something to sweeten your taste buds for closure, there is also a custard (unfortunately not egg custard), hot sweet tofu pudding (with two choices of sauces and sweet seasoning sprinkle), and fruits.

Drinks
We didn't take a look at any drink menu, and assume that the only drinks included with the buffet would be the tea and the two self serve drink machines by the buffet table that included: sweet soya milk and sweet plum juice.  The sweet soya milk more than quenched my thirst, and actually left me wanting more.

Note: This is a self serve buffet, so please excuse the fact our presentation may not be that great~ :P
