    Visited before we went onto the theater. Had the fixed brunch menu and the portions and quality of the food were excellent. Would especially recommend the rock shrimp tempura and the sirloin steak black pepper. However all the food tasted great and was of high quality. Finished off with a lovely selection of desserts. The staff were also very attentive and made sure we were looked after, by always coming over to ask if we needed anything else. They all went above and beyond... Will be going back, as I want to sample the the Wagyu, which is only available after 5pm. Views and ambience of the place was really cool and accompanied by some cool tunes in the background

    Thank you for your fantastic review, Jaskarn! We're thrilled you enjoyed the fixed brunch menu and our attentive staff. The rock shrimp tempura and sirloin steak are definitely crowd favorites! We can't wait to have you back for the Wagyu. Your support means a lot to us!

    The Hong Kong Aqua has a really special ambience. Unfortunately this doesn’t carry to London. The music here was so overpowering it was really hard to hold a conversation. Service was slow and a little dismissive. Food was ok, but nothing special. You might say it’s all a bit up its own ketsu.
