Fodor's Review:

Perhaps in reference to Hong Kong's many yoga studios, Tsim Sha Tsui's gracefully arching One Peking Road building seems to be doing a giant steel back bend. This trendy restaurant and bar is in the penthouse, and goes by many names (Aqua Tokyo, Aqua Roma, Aqua Spirit). Similarly, the chefs here wear many hats, for instance combining sashimi, crab tempura with crab roe miso, and a heavy risotto into one meal. The raw fish, flown in from Japan, is a better choice than the uninspired pasta, but the only thing really worth going to Aqua for is the superb view from the windows of the Hong Kong skyline. You might just stop in for a drink—the bar stays open until 2 AM, 3 on weekends.

With high hopes and enthusiasm we finally got a seat at aqua only to be highly disappointed. We had dinner there for 2 on valentines day and had to pay 1,500 HKD for a 4 course meal. Everything on the menu was bland, boring and unmemorable. The first course being random "sashimi" and then flowed by a ravioli that also was incredibly bland. I chose to have the fish main course which was attempting to be bold with flavors and failed. Then to finish it off we had a chocolate cake that sat next to a unpalatable scoop of coffee ice cream. It was the worst meal I have had in a very long time. Not to mention the 70HKD bottled beer to leave a sour note, and also their most popular drink the mango mojito should be more appropriately named shaved mango ice.
