Creative Spanish-Japanese tapas with standout octopus and squid-ink abalone paella; cozy vibe and strong coffee program, though pricing and paella authenticity split opinions.
Still delivers competitive quality through exceptional food quality—particularly standout octopus and squid-ink paella—paired with friendly, knowledgeable service. However, inconsistent paella execution and modest setting appeal despite artsy interiors prevent a higher grade. The creative Spanish-Japanese fusion menu and solid value via dinner sets make it worth exploring for adventurous diners in Kowloon.
Tucked inside a small mall in Hung Hom, Still feels like a cozy bistro where fusion plates glide from an open kitchen. The room reads warm and artsy, with sunlit windows by day and a relaxed hush at night. A diner summed it up: "octopus with a gentle char and paella packed with ocean flavor." Service is usually friendly, sometimes stretched at busy moments. The cooking blends Spain and Japan with confidence: yuzu-kissed octopus, garlic prawns for bread-dipping, and a squid-ink abalone paella dotted with roe. It is a creative fusion menu that leans technique-first rather than rustic comfort. Most plates win praise for balance and freshness, though a few guests felt the paella texture skewed from traditional. Sets and occasional promos make it a solid value for chef-driven fusion in Kowloon. Families should know the menu features seafood and bold flavors, but there are friendly anchors like mini burgers, churros, and creamy lattes. If your crew likes simple comforts, ask for less adventurous picks from the tapas or consider lunch sets; picky eaters may skip the squid-ink dishes.
