  有水準

  Jo | Jul 27 2011

  謝友人既介紹, 唔係我都唔知此店D食物咁出色..佢一介紹完我就即BOOK位星期六去試下...去到先知原來我地去話BASEMENT果間東來順食過晚飯...今次這間就係最上3樓位置.
  
  準時7時去到, 2個人睇左一陣MENU, 第一次來實在太貪食想試多幾款, 最後我地叫左米芝蓮套餐.
  
  
  
  先來個炸蝦片, 又真係幾好食喎少少辣好惹味.
  
  套餐來既係拚盤, 我自己最喜歡係個肉卷好多汁好好味, 反而個春卷就好似無咩特別.
  
  
  
  
  
  主菜我地就選左每人一隻大蝦, 跟住就係我最期待既脆皮牛腩, 鹽燒魚, 同埋炒通菜...雖然樣樣野都好似無咩特別, 但老實講我覺得真係好好味..好似個脆皮牛腩真係做到外脆內淋, 燒魚同樣出色一般我地食既都係大大條, 這間就好細條LA, 但燒出來岩岩好D肉好滑好多汁...最令我地喜歡係個炒菜呀..我地仲係度想緊個菜係用咩炒.真係唔知點解可以炒到咁鬼死香.
  
  最後就係每人一碗粉..更係每人叫一款就可以試多一款野
  
  
  
  估唔到個生熟牛河既牛係用和牛真係好正, 至於我個蕃茄米線都一樣好出色..D米線真係好滑好好味, 個湯底好似用左好多蕃茄整成好鮮甜.
  
  成個餐最無特別就係個甜品
  
  
  
  唔知咩芒果涼粉.
  
  好美滿既一餐.

  Not as expected

  ANMH | Aug 15 2010

  Craving for Vietnamese and came to Le Soleil because of its fame. To be honest, I was disappointed. It was just some more detailed Vietnamese, but the food wasn't in particularly impressive.
  We tried their Michelin set and also ordered a few more dishes to try for the 4 of us.
  The so-called signature Crispy beef curry was not good at all. Vegetarian dishes are very typical and unsurprising. The young coconut drink and the ambience were some of the few enjoyable aspects of the meal.

  Keeping up with standards at Royal Garden

  EdEats | Nov 15 2009

  As far as hotel food and beverage standards go, most would agree that Royal Garden Hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui embodies high standards. While unlikely in the eyes of many given its 4-star rating on rooms, the food and beverage outlets which include Inagiku and Sabatini are well in excess of 5 stars. On the back of the benchmark, we decided to try Le Soleil, Royal Garden's foray into Vietnamese in bringing in the name from San Francisco where it has its roots. Not new by any means, but it was our first time.
  
  Set on the highest terrace within the hotel, it is a comfortable setting with spacious seating, much like dining under the stars but sheltered from the elements. The decor is casual, and even with having to wait close to an hour for my guests, time passes you by easily. The service is decent enough although we notice the system breaking down with the drinks - all of us having been asked twice whether we would like something to drink. Attentive but spotty - but a small snag in the grand scheme of things.
  
  The food experience was overall decent but loses out in wow factor to the other outlets. Perhaps I am just that more a fan of Japanese and Italian cuisine, than I am of Viet. By for those who love Viet, Le Soleil should not disappoint.
  
  Our starter of the seafood and pomelo salad beats the Thai version hands down. Fresher in taste with hints of fish sauce and lime cutting through, the absence of desiccated cocunut as with its Thai counterpart was a welcome change. The seafood used was also crunchy and fresh.
  
  The crispy Royal spring rolls were well fried and not greasy and was fresh to the bite when wrapped in crisp lettuce and dipped in the accompanying fish sauce. Well executed although not spectacular.
  
  
  
  The crab steamed in Vietnamese beer was a nice take on preparing steamed crab and the beer brought out the freshness and natural sea-sweetness of the crab. Served on a bed of beer-laced egg white, it was easy to polish off the whole crab without feeling stuffed.
  
  Of course, the greatness of every Vietnamese restaurant must be measured by its beef pho. In this instance, we decided to do the upscale version which comes served with Miyazaki beef. Of course, the well marbled, melt in your mouth piece of meat, added to the decadence of the usually simple dish served at all times of the day, in still largely impoverished Vietnam. No complaints though. The staple of the stock was still well brewed, with enough of the beefy taste still there, made up with various parts of the cow, and served up, including tripe, brisket slices and a bouncy beef ball.
  
  Vietnamese cuisine, being light and non-greasy, ensured we left room for dessert. Their chocolate and banana pudding served up with a soursop sherbet, extended the theme. Light and fresh, it was a nice finish to the meal.

  Would not choose this restaurant in this hotel

  codiki | May 31 2009

  Probably the worst restaurant in this hotel as all the others are world class. The vietnamese dishes here are not authentic at all and the prices are extremely high.
