Amazing views & incredible food! 🏙️✨ The rooftop vibe is unmatched—they can even project custom messages onto the opposite building for birthdays! Every dish was a hit, especially the rich Hairy Crab Butter Udon and the crispy Iberico Tonkatsu with plum yogurt sauce. Ended with a high-quality matcha cheesecake and melon daifuku. Perfect spot for celebrations and dates! Highly recommend.

AOAO in Central is a popular spot known for its creative Japanese cuisine and stylish, comfortable ambiance—perfect for gatherings or date nights. The dishes are thoughtfully presented with great flavors across the board. The Hamachi stands out with its thick, satisfying cuts, while the Pickled Tomato Salad offers a refreshing balance with its light, tangy profile. A must-try is the Caramelized Pumpkin, ароматically rich with cinnamon and coated in a sweet glaze. The Tonkatsu, made with Iberico pork, is crispy and elevated by its unique plum yoghurt sauce. The Hairy Crab Butter Udon is rich and indulgent, packed with crab flavor and perfectly chewy noodles. Drinks are equally impressive, especially the fragrant Pandan Vanilla Coconut Coffee. Overall, AOAO delivers both quality and atmosphere, making it a worthwhile dining experience in Central.

Tried AOAO in Central for a date and really liked the mix of Japanese‑inspired fusion dishes and rooftop bar vibes. The interior is gem‑toned and modern, with an open terrace that makes you feel like you have escaped the busy streets below. We had the Onyx and Amber cocktails, one bold and smoky, the other fruity with a creamy foam on top. The charcoal grilled eel and A4 Wagyu cutlet sando were both standouts, and the desserts, especially the cheesecake and melon daifuku, ended the meal on a light, sweet note. A great spot for couples or small groups looking for a stylish evening out.

Swung by AOAO for dinner after work today. It has been around for a bit and I have been wanting to give it a try. There is a nice outdoor patio but it was already quite crowded so we opted for a table inside instead. The food was well thought out. I particularly enjoyed the caramelised pumpkin which was served warm and had a light crunch. They had a good selection of drinks but we somehow went for boring wine tonight.

AOAO in Central delivers a masterclass in modern Japanese fusion with a chic, vibrant energy. The Tonkatsu is rich in pork flavor with a perfectly crisp, non-greasy skin that pairs beautifully with their refreshing, signature plum yogurt sauce. Another standout is the Caramelized Pumpkin; the crunchy caramel layer and delicate dusting of cinnamon and almond create a sophisticated, well-balanced bite without the spice being overpowering. For those seeking indulgence, the Hairy Crab Butter Udon is impressively hearty in portion. To finish, the H2O Sour is a floral delight, boasting a stunning elderflower aroma that’s absolutely divine.

I had my reservation at 7:30 on the 13th of February. While i was walking to the restaruanr I received a call from the reception asking if I am going to make it on time!? I was on Queen's Road at the moment and for sure would not be late for dinner but reception lady was questioning me whether if I am going to be late?! There was no confirmation for the seating throughout the day and all of a sudden when I was only 5 minutes away from the building did I receive a very demanding and not very friendly phone call checking on my status! When I was at the reception I did ask about why have I receive a phone call just 5 minites ago and the lady at reception was not being able to articlate clearly let alone explaining the purpose of such inappropiate phone call. I let it go for the moment and went in for dinner. Not all cocktails on the menu were available at the moment which left not alot of choices. Food itself is over rated by all social media comments and not of my perso al favou
