We had a nice time , the food was amazing. We ordered 3 langos and bubble teas. Will definitely come back again. Owners were very friendly and welcoming. Thank you we will come again !

It's a local bakery/hot food,I personally just like it here.

This restaurant only opened under this name last month and appears to have a new menu etc. It was formally called II Palazzo and from the dates of the reviews below they all refer to the "previous" restaurant. Service was Ok but instead of the large dining room shown in the photos we were all packed into tables set out in the former bar area with about two feet between tables. Food was Ok

Great Chinese, staff super friendly, service very quick, they were busy but didn't rush us in any way. First time going I'll be going back.

Had skate, which was over cooked, tasted rubbery, my husband could not eat it.

We have visited this family run restaurant a few times and it never fails to impress. From the warm welcome upon arrival from Enrico Jr and Sabrina, the attentive service and mouth watering food that leaves you wanting for more. There is nothing more to add. We will definitely be booking again soon …

a couple of friends who are regulars invited me for a late birthday treat, it was very nice, staff were welcoming and helpful

Ended up using Hong Kong Kitchen based on good Google reviews as my local was shut due to the owners being on holiday. Food was cooked quickly and tasted great. No complaints here.

Discovered this lovely restaurant. The food is fresh and delicious. Customer service amazing and friendly staff. I Wish. travel from London for my once a month fix at Fish and Wish. It is the go to place for great fish and chips.

I'm Italian and quite fussy and often feel underwhelmed when eating in Italian restaurants. Not this time. I visited with my partner, we had a nice whitebait starter and then two plates of pasta, both were delicious. I had the linguine mussels, prawns and chillies and my partner had the linguine with cream of courgettes and prawns. The pasta was cooked to perfection and both sauces were to die for. We even asked for some bread to mop up the sauces (la scarpetta) as they were just too delicious to leave. We had a lovely Campari spritz as an aperitif and a very nice glass of house white. Angela who served us was very welcoming. A really nice experience and I'll definitely return when I'm in the Thorpe Bay area. I highly recommend.

Me and mum had a panini each with a tea and mocha, it was delicious. Lovely decor, great service and will be back. Also lots of space to take the pram in.

Went in quite late for dinner & Byron immediately came to our table to take our drinks orders. We were quite hungry and our starters of scotch egg & marmite butter roast potatoes came out quickly & definitely hit the spot! We both had the pie for our mains….Chef’s kiss 🤌 Byron was very hospitable & checked back that all was ok. I live very near by & pop in for a drink or Sunday lunch (which is the best in Southend I might add) but have never eaten here mid week & I was very happy with the last minute choice! Well done chef & well done Byron.

Imran was very friendly and welcoming. Curry, rice and naan fresh and tasty. Mixed clientele in a comfortable space. Will return.
