A balanced meal at Kozy is best when ordering their fried mixed vegetables (HKD58), spring onion okonomiyaki (HKD78), ox tongue (HKD68), and the A4 wagyu fillet steak (HKD290).

Order the Gaucho (HKD159) if you’re craving prime steak or the Sausage, Egg, & Cheese (HKD69) for some chicken-sausage love.
