A Taste of Home at Good Place: Home Cooking. Happy Gatherings

Good Place is a tranquil and elegant restaurant situated in the quiet corner of a busy shopping mall. The light and bright dining area is minimally decorated with wooden dining tables and chairs, and a selection of potted plants. This natural and simple decor offers a relaxing atmosphere in which customers can enjoy home-style meals.



“I am an admirer of Japanese culture, in particular its home-made cuisine,” explains Adrian, the founder of the restaurant. “It usually consists of a serving of plain white rice, miso soup, cold side dish, and a main dish of fish or meat. This combination offers balanced diet with good portion sizes, making our customers feel the comfort and warmth at home. To offer our customers the homely experience, I have put our favourite home-made dishes on the menu.” At Good Place, Adrian shares his home-style recipes with customers as if he has opened up his own dining table at home.

Good Place strives to serve elegant dishes made from good ingredients. Adrian explains that they use premium Angus beef, local water-grown vegetables, whole salmon imported from Norway and organic chicken from South East Asia. Almost all of their ingredients are marinated with less oil, sugar and salt, and cooked by steaming, grilling and blanching. This allows diners to savour the food with its original flavours.

Felix, a long-time friend of Adrian, completed his business degree in Australia. After graduation, he returned to Hong Kong and started his career in the banking sector. He was invited to join Adrian about one year ago, and is now responsible for shop management and customer service.
