One of the really common things in Hong Kong is eating dinner later than we are used to in the US. So with Maggie and Nicholas, we try and east dinner between 5:30 to 6:30.
Eating dinner at 5:30pm- 6pm in Hong Kong is like eating dinner at 4pm in the States. The dinner hour has just started, late lunches are still finishing up, you get a couple strange looks about eating so early and the restaurants usually have a table.
Being out of phase with the rest of Hong Kong by 2 hours usually means we can get a table.
Reservations are a must because restaurants fill up. Walk in is tough. So if one tries and makes a reservation the day of or walk in, you are usually told "I have a table at 6pm, but you have to give it back at 8:30pm." We usually always say yes because we have on record never had a dinner out with our kids that lasted more than 1 hour.
