Wooloomooloo Steakhouse

I was at the rooftop bar and not the restaurant. Great view, and good attentive service. However for almost $ 20 USD each for cocktails, I thought they were only so-​so after trying two. It’s a little difficult to find the correct entrance since it is not on Hennessy but rather the other side of the building. It was a good crowd for a Thursday night at midnight.

I don’t know about the food but the view is amazing. You should get there by 6 or 6:30 pm, after its hard to find a table on the roff. It’s kind of expensive a glass of Bacardi rum is 100Hkd. I do recommend !!!

This review is for their rooftop bar only. You simply must visit a rooftop bar while in Hong Kong to take in the breathtaking skyline at night. The Wooloomooloo Steakhouse has a rooftop bar on the 31^st floor of the building. The view is fantastic! During winter it is very chilly up there, even with the gas heaters on, so rug up! Sevva seems to be the other popular rooftop bar in the city that tourists tend to head to on their first visit to HK, however the drinks are more expensive there.

This [belated] review is for their rooftop bar on the 31^st (or was it 33^rd) floor. We came here to casually meet up with Hong Kong Unilocalers, Laura D, and the one and only Jando!
Although you’re no longer looking directly across from Victoria Harbour (and hence no HK Island skyline view), Wooloomooloo still has a killer view. It was a cool evening that night and their heat lamps were on to keep us warm. Great place to hang out!

Let me just start by saying that I’ve never actually had the food here. I’ve only been here for drinks.
The rooftop floor of Wooloomooloo is fantastic, and their drinks aren’t unreasonable. They are on par with drinks from other rooftop bars (~$ 80 – 140). I also love that they give you lightly spiced peanuts to snack on while you’re catching up with your friends. In general, I find this to be a really chill spot to hang out. It is a little bit far from the MTR station, but it’s not too bad.
Come here if you want a chill night.

We came for the steak and the beautiful view of the city as it sits on the 31^st floor of the building and we were not disappointed. I had the Steak Au poivre, the pepper corn sauce was mild and smooth «I would prefer a little more spicy» my filet cooked perfect medium rare, my daughter had the filet mignon with horseradish sauce, it was cooked to a perfect. Service was good but the girl took our order had no idea of the menu, which was a bit turn off in a fine restaurants like this, guess she is a trainees, but the second girl whom served us was very attentive and nice. After dinner we went up to the rooftop bar to take picture of the city, many people were drinking. Over all the experience was great and will come back again.

Review is for the rooftop bar only, since I didn’t get to eat at the restaurant.
Awesome view! As others have mentioned, definitely a great spot to grab a drink while taking in views of the city. This is a different view than the standard HK skyline you would see from the Kowloon side, no better or worse, just a different angle. It is an open rooftop, so it can get chilly if the weather is cool. It is definitely more of a touristy/​expat spot. Easier to get to and less pretentious than Ozone Bar. (Not to say you shouldn’t check out the Ozone Bar, after all it is one of the highest bars in the world!).
As for the steakhouse, my group tried to get a table for 4 after getting drinks. It was about 7pm and the restaurant looked completely empty, but the hostesses said it was all reserved. Such a shame but I’ve heard good things so be sure to make a reservation if you want to eat here.
Tip — «Wooloomooloo» is a city in Australia and it is pronounced wulumuLOO. (Not WOO-​loo-​MOO-​loo as I was saying in my silly American accent)

First of all, the name is awesome.
But it’s not just the name, it’s the view, which is amazing and beautiful and a great way to see the city. Come for the view, do not miss it.
And then stay for the food, which is a fantastic steak. Holy woah. It’s so good, loved eating here all night long. Plus, they do decent sauces and I love a good sauce.
And then there are little things like cigars and cocktails and the staff who are top notch. It’s not cheap by far, but my god is it good.

The view was ridiculously beautiful. I mean breathtaking, mind blowing beautiful. They could have served hot dogs and beer and I would give this place five stars. Fortunately, they didn’t.
I had a ribeye steak cooked black and blue… it was perfect. The mustards they served on the side were amazing even though I hated to mask the flavor of the steak even a little. The bread… I am not a bread person, but ate two or three of the little rolls. Mashed potatoes were the bomb. Crab cakes, wow. Everything was just wonderful.
My steak was around $ 500HK. The rest of the check was picked up by other people so I can’t speak to their costs. No matter what it was, it seemed well worth it.

The view is the reason to come here, the meat is very good but there are other place on the same meat level for a more reasonable cost. I came here even one year ago and yhe reason I came back was even the service that unsortunately was absolutely not on the same level.
They just reopen after renew but you can feel is missing the enagement.

10 oz steak was a little bit big for me but the taste was great and the restaurant was nice.

The lunch sets are disappointing and worthy of at most 3-​stars. However the roof bar is worth 5-​stars, with spectacular views all the way from Central to Happy Valley.
Sure the drinks aren’t cheap but you’d pay the same to stand outside a bar in Lan Kwai, so might as well get a place that highlights the amazing verticality of HK.
In short: Skip the restaurant, come for the roof bar.

Campari on ice, a decent cigar, shooting the breeze with friends, all set against a majestic evening view of the city.
That’s the kind of thing that creates memories, and makes one rethink about moving back to Hong Kong.

Although it took me about 10 minutes to get up to Wooloomooloo, it was worth it. Seriously, the lifts are messed up and when I got to the 31^st floor the doors didn’t open. Just a funny experience.
Now, the place is great. Amazing views, nice classic deco. I had a reservation for two people and we were seated by the window, just at the table I had spotted since I stepped in. I guess it must be much better at night but it was already good enough. The whole restaurant is opened and it feels really nice. Although it was lunch time, half of the tables were empty.
My friend and I went for the set lunch. Worth it? well you can have a starter and a grass fed sirloin for 168 HKD. The appetizer was a tomato and salmon (don’t be fooled, just two tiny pieces) salad or a soup. I went for the salad which was okay, and my friend for the veggie soup (also a okay).
My steak, medium rear, came with two tomatoes and a couple of Brussel sprouts as I didn’t want any potato croquette but they were apparently the highlight of the dish, according to my friend. The steak was good, wouldn’t say amaizing. After that, I ordered coffee and my friend went for the coconut dessert, a mix of ice cream and crème caramel and it seemed to be awesome (judging by the roll of his eyes).
My conclusion, in general: great value for a set lunch where you also have a couple of other options (pasta and fish, both a little cheaper). Service pretty good. This is probably the best deal here, but I’m so much more looking forward to a proper steak next time, possibly for dinner.

For years, Wanchai is famous for their causal, sleazy bars on Lockhart Road. It is almost hard to believe that we can find a nice rooftop bar here. However, having Wooloomooloo, located on the rooftop of The Hennessy, you can now see the other and better side of Wanchai.
This place has some of the best views across Victoria Harbour, Wan Chai and Happy Valley. There is no better introduction to the mind-​blowing Hong Kong skyline than this.
I can say Wooloomooloo is one of my favourite rooftop bars so far. Although it doesn’t have the biggest venue or a prime location like Ozone bar, I like this place a lot. Since this place is not overwhelming huge, it creates a warm and hearty atmosphere, which always drives me back.
Also, getting drinks at the roof is a lot cheaper than having a full meal at their steakhouse just one floor below. So, if you want to enjoy the view without spending a fortune, just head to the roof!
Breathtaking views combined with excellent drinks in an open lounge setting, Wooloomooloo is no doubt the best place for you to unwind. Now, you know where to find me!

There are a few ways of pronouncing the name of this restaurant depending on which syllable (s) is emphasized. However, I don’t think that’s much of a talking point until later in the night after a few glasses of vino.
I’ve been here twice now, for two completely different reasons. The first time was to capture a time-​lapse of the sun setting, and where else better to do that than on the thirty-​second floor in the heart of Hong Kong island? Nowhere is the answer. The 200 and something degree view is absolutely breathing taking on a clear day (a rare occasion in HK!). The city’s lights turn on as the sun disappears in the horizon gilding the city one last time, the effect magical.
The second time I went was to sample some of their food. Steak, steak and… more steak. A cow’s rump, for some reason or another makes men more manly — or at least act that way. «Yes, I’ll have your largest cow, I was just at the gym you see… make that two cows.» It is commonly seen as a man’s food, so if you are a man out to prove something I’d suggest going for the Tomahawk. A 1.1 kilo beast of a rib. The menu recommends it to be shared, but come on, do men share? No is the answer. Joking aside, it should be shared because it’s massive. I, on the other hand, ordered a measly 10 oz sirloin with a side of chips and red wine. Some mushroom sauce and voila, one of the best steaks I’ve eaten in Hong Kong for less than $ 500. There are female-​friendly dishes… like the 8oz steak. After we stuffed our faces with meaty goodness we waddled out of our seats, up a flight of stairs and finished the evening slouching in a comfortable couch on the rooftop.
I’ll tell you what, for all you ladies out there, if you want to impress your man — be it a long-​term relationship or first date — treat him to a meal at Wooloomooloo. It’s not that pricey for the overall experience and on top of that, he’ll owe you big time!
