Jimmy's Kitchen on Postcard

"A Classic Affair When you dine at Jimmy's Kitchen, bear in mind that you're enjoying something that has been a part of Hong Kong 's history for over 80 years. The restaurant claims that more business deals have been signed here than in any boardroom in the city. Famous classic movie stars like Cary Grant and William Holden have also graced this Central dining institution with their presence. The dim lighting and classic interiors will whisk you away to another time as you enjoy traditional British dishes like bangers and mash and chicken kiev. The Lobster bisque is also a customer favorite. When you're here, don't just eat - learn the Jimmy's Kitchen story and see for yourself how history has influenced the restaurant in the decades past."

Still very good, the dishes taste like they used to, but many are... better. The madras curry is spicier, which i liked. The borscht soup has a little spicy kick to it, which I also liked. The chicken Kiev was good, but I did like the old one better. The bread also is just a sweet roll now. I miss the big plate of bread to choose from. I'm sad they don't have the satellite dessert anymore, but the new baked Alaska is WAY better than the old one. That was delicious.

This is a charming, traditional old-school Western restaurant with a great vibe and lovely decor. The dishes are all delicious and reasonably priced, especially considering its central location. You can even feel the subway passing by while you sit and enjoy your meal. I particularly loved the baked Alaska—it was a standout!

Heard about the old Jimmy’s kitchen back in the 90’s, so there was a certain nostalgia feeling when visiting this place. I went there for dinner with someone that knew the old place, and thought this new version ambience is rather different. We went for the classic Kiev chicken, and tried the tartare and salad. The staff was attentive and even warned us the about to be sold out Baked Alaska, which we ordered and it was such a surprise dessert. I didn’t like the bread being served as appetizer (which was charged) and the bread served as a side dish of the beef tartare.

9 Dec 2024 Update The ravioli was delicious. Came to HKD 185 for it. Gorgeous setting. ******** Beautiful and classic. The Jimmy’s carousel with the poppadoms was impressive!

The food and service where perfect. We where amazed by the overall design and ambiance, very chic. Specially impressed by the house cocktail Jimmy's Royale and Jack's Creek Wagyu 👌

The restaurant is in a lovely historic building probably the last one standing in Busy Centeal Hong Kong business district. The space is lovely the menu was not bad. I probably picked the worst dish on the menu. The New Zealand rack or lambs was tender but so was so gamey. I had a bite and had to put my fork down. The wine list was good. Everything else was perfect. My friends seemed to tolerate their food well. The service was good enough. We were looking forward to the classic desert Alaskan Baked but it was out of stock by the time we got round to order it.

Service and vibes excellent. Great to see Jimmy’s reopening at a location nearby their old place. Food was OK. Nothing too mindblowing but overall was pleasant. Baked Alaska was a standout. Pickled herring was nicely balanced with the potato and onion/dill etc. pork chop looked better than it tasted — frozen pork which was a bit overcooked. Beef stew had decent flavour but meat was very stringy and dry (quite hard to achieve that in a stew….).

At the back of the menu it says if you're happy tell your friends but if not tell Jimmy. Well Jimmy your dishes are a tad bit too salty. I'm talking about the chicken madras which is supposed to be a signature dish of this place. Also the slow cooked duck leg, it's super tender and flavorful but still way too salty. I feel like it needed to go with rice. I'm Chinese and usually have high tolerance of sodium or very flavourful food but I just gave up in the middle of it. The pasta and hamachi were awesome. Still a good joint to be but just need to leave those two dishes alone!
