Don't think I would have found this place that easily had I not read a detailed explanation of the directions in an openrice review. It's located in a tiny lane just behind the Milan Station shop in Lan Kwai Fong. Even when we found the lane it wasn't until walking right up to the doorstep that we were sure it was the right place as there was a misleading Chinese sign hanging above just before the entrance that was nothing related to Brickhouse.
They had more tables than I had expected considering the hidden location. We had no problem getting a table since we got there just after the opening time but there were a few tables occupied already.
The lady that served us was very nice and accommodating. The menu only had alcoholic (and only cold) drinks and she realized we wanted something non-alcoholic although we weren't sure what was good to order besides the usual soft drinks. So she said they could do some of the fruit cocktails without alcohol and also offered a new non-alcoholic mix for us as well (however they had nothing hot whatsoever).
The bill ended up being pricier than expected though (HKD821 for 4 people) having ordered 4 dishes and 4 drinks. But the cost came mostly from the $240 taco platter which I guess we would only try on the first visit when we're not sure which ones were better (I liked the one with what seemed like fried fish inside). Drinks were basically LKF prices so if you add on the tax then that would count for almost four hundred bucks of the bill.

Tuna Tostada - very good
Taco platter - each were cut in half so we got to share the different flavours
