Jimmy's Kitchen

Frommer's Review

This restaurant opened in 1928, a replica of a similar American-owned restaurant in Shanghai. Now one of Hong Kong's oldest Western restaurants, Jimmy's Kitchen has had several homes before moving in the 1960s to its present site. Some of its waiters are descendants from the original staff. The atmosphere reminds me of an American steakhouse, with white tablecloths, dark-wood paneling, and elevator music, but it's a favorite with older foreigners living in Hong Kong and serves dependably good, unpretentious European food. The daily specials are written on a blackboard, and an extensive a la carte menu offers salads and soups, steaks, chicken, Indian curries, and a seafood selection that includes sole, scallops, and the local garoupa. It's also a good place for corned beef and cabbage, beef stroganoff, and hearty German fare, including Wiener schnitzel (breaded veal), pig's knuckle, and knackwurst sausage.

There's a branch at 29 Ashley Rd., Tsim Sha Tsui (tel. 852/2376 0327; MTR: Tsim Sha Tsui), open the same hours.
