180° Modern Fire Grill: Open-Flame Sharing Plates In Central

Central's Newest Grill Turns Up The Heat With Shareable Plates Kids Will Actually Eat

180° Modern Fire Grill brings the heat, quite literally, to G/F, Yu Yuet Lai Building on Wyndham Street, Central. From HORA Hospitality Group (the team behind Babette Social Eatery and Chouchou French Brasserie), this is honest Western fire cooking with no flags and no fuss: grill everything, share everything, gather around the hearth.

Chef Cédric Tsia’s kitchen runs on high heat, and the name says it all: the 180° of a screaming grill, cherry wood smoke, and an open flame you can actually stand and watch. For families, the wins are shareable plates, approachable prices, popcorn chicken with mala mayo, and a room that is energetic rather than stuffy. It works best at lunch or an early dinner, before the late-night cocktail crowd moves in.

Little Steps Insider Tip: Book lunch (12:00–15:00) or the first dinner seating at 17:00 if you are bringing kids. The open kitchen is pure theatre, and older children love watching charcoal hit skin, but Wyndham Street after 8pm is Lan Kwai Fong energy, not a playground. Popcorn Chicken plus Bone Marrow Rice is the family share move, while Hot Smoked Chicken is the one the grown-ups will fight over. Confirm high chairs when you reserve.

Menu Highlights At 180° Modern Fire Grill

Hot Smoked Chicken: dry-aged three days, cherry wood smoked, dark soy glaze (the signature)
Popcorn Chicken with mixed spices and housemade mala mayonnaise (the kid pleaser)
Bone Marrow Rice: Koshihikari rice, dashi, beef fat, crispy fire crust, garlic chips (share this)
French Mussels opened over fire with yellow wine, shallot and Espelette
Threadfin (Taiwan, dry-aged) with cucumber, fennel, dill, lemon and ajo blanco
Yellowfin tuna chutoro on brioche with orange and Campari (more of a grown up bite)
Chocolate lava: Conspiracy 70% dark chocolate, cocoa nib crunch, tonka, vanilla sauce
Smoky cocktails from HK$118 (Burnt Harvest, Red Ember, Last Flame), plus mocktails and soft drinks for the kids’ table

Why Little Steps Loves It:

Fire cooking without the white tablecloth intimidation. Honest plates built to be passed around the table, and a Central address you can actually reach after school or a morning in the park. The popcorn chicken and bone marrow rice keep picky eaters in the game while parents get the cherry wood chicken and a proper grill show.

Who It's Perfect For:

Families with school-age kids who like watching their food get cooked, parents after a lively (not hushed) lunch in Central, and groups who would rather share six plates than sit through a formal steakhouse. Skip late Friday night if you have toddlers and save that slot for date night.
