1. Liu Yuan Pavilion
$$ | Wan Chai |Often regarded as one of the best Shanghainese restaurants in town, Liu Yuan’s cooking style stays loyal to tradition with a no-fuss mentality that has worked in their favor for years. Easy favorites include sweet strips of crunchy eel, panfried meat buns, and steamed xiao long bao dumplings plumped up with minced pork and broth.

-
2. Samsen
$$ | Wan Chai |Chef Adam Cliff made his name at Chachawan in Sheung Wan before opening this, his very own, Thai noodle shop on a historic Wan Chai street. You can spot the open-air restaurant from a mile away, due to the nonstop line out the door—the wait is worth it for Cliff's fresh and flavorful Thai boat noodles, pad Thai, pomelo salads, crab omelettes, and lots of street-style classics.
68 Stone Nullah La., Hong Kong, n/a Hong Kong, Hong KongKnown For

3. Second Draft

-
4. The Chairman
$$ | Central |The restaurant celebrates a return to authentic Cantonese fare. Using only the freshest possible ingredients—from locally reared free-range chicken to wild-caught seafood—this unique eatery focuses on the intrinsic flavors of each ingredient. Appetizers are creative: shredded pig’s ear and tripe salad is given an extra crunchy edge with the addition of freshly sliced guava, and razor clams are steamed with pickled lemon and garlic. And it gets even better with the mains. A particular favorite is the signature soy-sauce chicken, perfumed with 18 different fragrant Chinese herbs. Also recommended is the steamed fresh crab, which is steeped in aged ShaoXing wine.
18 Kau U Fong, Hong Kong, n/a Hong Kong, Hong Kong2555–2202Restaurant Details
Rate Includes: Credit cards accepted, Reservations essential -
5. Tung Po
$$ | Eastern |Arguably Hong Kong's most famous—if not most perpetually packed—indoor dai pai dong has communal tables large enough to fit 18 guests and walls scribbled with an ever-growing list of specials. The food is Hong Kong cuisine with fusion innovations, and you should wash everything down with a cold beer (served here in Chinese soup bowls).
99 Java Rd., Hong Kong, n/a Hong Kong, Hong Kong2880–5224Known For
- Spaghetti with cuttlefish and fresh squid ink
- Seafood dishes and stir-fries
- Owner Robby Cheung, who's known to blast pop songs and moonwalk

6. ABC Kitchen
$$ | Sheung Wan |Hong Kong is no stranger to Continental cuisine, but ABC is in a league of its own. The eatery is made up of a few stand-alone plastic chairs and tables scattered around the Queen Street Cooked Food Market. Despite being sandwiched between a curry stall and a dumpling joint, ABC’s owners remain loyal to their classic, European training (the manager and chef both hail from Hong Kong's top restaurants), serving dishes such as roasted suckling pig and foie gras with gooseberry chutney. If you want drinks with your meal, ABC offers a simple wine list and also allows BYOB with no corkage fee. Reservations are highly recommended.
38 Des Voeux Rd. W, Hong Kong, n/a Hong Kong, Hong Kong9278–8227Restaurant Details
Rate Includes: No lunch Sun., No credit cards -
7. AJ's Sri Lankan Cuisine
$$ | |Sai Kung may be best known for its local seafood joints, but we’ll happily shine a light on the city’s only Sri Lankan restaurant. Housed in a quaint cottage, AJ’s rolls out regional delicacies from the South Asian island country—if you haven’t tried it before, Sri Lankan cuisine shares similarities with its neighboring countries, though there are some distinct differences in the use of spices and cooking techniques. Definitely order the moju—fried eggplant with onions and chilies. We’re also fans of any string hopper (shredded, steamed rice-flour dough) dish that’s tossed in a wok with diced meats and spices.
14 Sai Kung Hoi Pong St., New Territories, n/a Hong Kong, Hong Kong2792–2555Restaurant Details
Rate Includes: No lunch weekdays -
8. Che's Cantonese Restaurant
$$ | Wan Chai |Smartly dressed locals in the know head for this casually elegant dim sum specialist, which is in the middle of the downtown bustle yet well concealed on the fourth floor of an office building. From the elevator, you’ll step into a classy Cantonese world. It’s hard to find a single better dim sum dish than Che’s crispy pork buns, whose sugary baked pastry conceals the brilliant saltiness of barbecued pork within. Other dim sum to try include pan-fried turnip cake and a refreshing dessert of cold pomelo and sago with mango juice for a calming end to an exciting meal.
54–62 Lockhart Rd., Hong Kong, n/a Hong Kong, Hong Kong2528–1123Restaurant Details
Rate Includes: Credit cards accepted -
9. Chuan Shao
$$ | Tsim Sha Tsui |This place fires up the grill with skewered items that draw flavor inspiration from Sichuan. The menu is extensive, capping in at more than 100 different choices on any given day (including daily and seasonal specials). Grilled fish is perfect with beer, as are the tsukune chicken meatballs. When in season, order grilled oysters, clams, and other seafood items. The folks at Chuan Shao also serve grilled banana and pineapple for dessert. The restaurant is open until late, and there’s plenty of beer, so anyone staying at a hotel in the area might just want to keep this place in mind.
29–31 Chatham Rd., Kowloon, n/a Hong Kong, Hong Kong2311–8101Restaurant Details
Rate Includes: No lunch, Credit cards accepted -
10. Din Tai Fung
$$ | Tsim Sha Tsui |Originally from Taiwan, this global restaurant chain is most famous for its expertly made dumplings. The place is serious about its craft—each dumpling is made from a specified amount of dough and kneaded to a uniform thinness to ensure maximum quality control. The signature steamed xiao long bao dumplings arrive piping hot at the table, filled with delectable fatty pork and slurpfuls of flavorful broth. Anyone with a sweet tooth should try the taro-paste dumpling. The excellent food is paired with VIP treatment from the friendly staff, making Din Tai Fung completely worthy of its immense popularity.
30 Canton Rd., Kowloon, n/a Hong Kong, Hong Kong2730–6928Restaurant Details
Rate Includes: Credit cards accepted -
11. En Tsim Sha Tsui
$$ | Tsim Sha Tsui |Unlike some of the more common Japanese eateries, Rakuen serves authentic Okinawan cuisine. Start with the umi-budo—an interesting variety of sea kelp shaped like bunches of grapes (the bubble-like appearance has also won it its “green caviar” nickname). Other regional specialties include the homemade peanut tofu, which, despite the name, is not a tofu dish but a gelatinized mixture of peanuts that has a chewy but firm texture and discerning nutty flavor, which is drawn out by a drizzling of soy sauce. Okinawan ingredients—such as bitter gourd and squid-ink noodles—are found throughout the menu, and the melt-in-the-mouth grilled ox tongue is a definite must-order.
38–40 Cameron Rd., Kowloon, n/a Hong Kong, Hong Kong3428–2500Restaurant Details
Rate Includes: No lunch, Credit cards accepted -
12. Gaylord
$$ | Tsim Sha Tsui |This was one of the first Indian restaurants on the Hong Kong dining scene, and the atmosphere is still intimate and fun, especially on nights when there's live music. The food is packed with authentic spices, and there's an extensive menu for vegetarians. The chowpatty chaat is a winning combination of potatoes, chickpeas, and crisp wafers in a spicy dressing, and the chicken tikka masala is almost legendary. Lamb dishes are also done well, especially those in fragrant curry sauce, perfect for scooping up with bits of naan bread, or for spooning over plates of fragrant basmati rice. The restaurant also offers several lunch and dinner menus at excellent value.
23–25 Ashley Rd., Kowloon, n/a Hong Kong, Hong Kong2376–1001Restaurant Details
Rate Includes: Credit cards accepted -
13. Go Koong
$$ | Tsim Sha Tsui |One of the best Korean restaurants in town, Go Koong covers extensive ground, from raw meats and seafood that are cooked sizzling on the tabletop grills, to kimchi stews and thick pancakes studded with shrimp, squid, and scallions. The complimentary banchans (appetizers) are a feast in themselves, with more than 10 different items available every day. Order the smoked duck-breast salad to start before moving on to more substantial fare such as the tender beef ribs steamed in whole pumpkin. If you still have room at the end of the meal, remember to try the patbingsoo—a giant bowl of crunchy shaved ice laced with sweetened red beans and fresh fruit.
94 Granville Rd., Kowloon, n/a Hong Kong, Hong Kong2311–0901Restaurant Details
Rate Includes: Credit cards accepted -
14. Goldfinch Restaurant
$$ | Causeway Bay |Travel back to the romantic 1960s at this retro restaurant. Both the decor and the food have remained largely unchanged since the restaurant’s heyday, and you’ll find local interpretations of borscht, gravy-covered steaks, and other western dishes.
13 Lan Fong Rd., Hong Kong, n/a Hong Kong, Hong Kong3427–916Known For
- The backdrop of director Wong Kar-wai’s film, In the Mood for Love
- Nostalgic charm
- Big portions
-
15. Grassroots Pantry
$$ | Western |You don’t have to be vegetarian to enjoy the food at Grassroots Pantry. The health-conscious, plant-based menu here is full of vibrant flavors and always reflects the season’s freshest produce. Try the appetizer platters or the market-inspired stir-fries and pastas. Grassroots also offers a delicious selection of gluten-free desserts. Being healthy never tasted so good.
12 Fuk Sau La., Hong Kong, n/a Hong Kong, Hong Kong2873–3353Restaurant Details
Rate Includes: Closed Mon. No dinner Sun. -
16. Ho Lee Fook
$$ | Central |Opened by award-winning Sydney-based chef Jowett Yu, this funky eatery is nothing like your average Chinese restaurant. As the tongue-in-cheek name suggests, the food here is bold and playful, inspired by old-school Chinatown classics but with a decidedly modern twist. Standout creations include the Yunnan-style steak tartare with hot-and-sour sauce, as well as the roast wagyu short ribs with a jalapeño puree. The cocktail list is just as inspired—try the Cooler, which is made with vodka infused with oolong tea.
1 Elgin St., Hong Kong, n/a Hong Kong, Hong Kong2810–0860Restaurant Details
Rate Includes: No lunch. Closed Sun. -
17. Hoi King Heen
$$ | Tsim Sha Tsui |If you’re looking for stellar Cantonese cuisine, this is the place for you. The chefs serve a range of modern classics made from the freshest ingredients and influenced by their reverence for natural flavors. There are excellent—and expensive—dishes on the menu like double-boiled bird’s nest and braised abalone, but the humbler dishes like smoked vegetarian goose and braised beef brisket with pear really steal the show. Hoi King Heen is a great dinner destination, and the lunchtime dim sum menu is also worth checking out.
-
18. Hotpot Instinct
$$ | Causeway Bay |Hotpot cooking is immensely popular in Hong Kong, and places like Hotpot Instinct are packed even during the steamy summer months. The large menu offers thinly sliced beef, pork, seafood, and a range of house-made fish balls and meatballs, which diners then dip into a boiling vat of broth at their table.
-
19. Iroha
$$ | Causeway Bay |Expert in the art of yakiniku (grilled meats), Iroha stocks top-quality ingredients for its tabletop grills. Many go for the premium Wagyu beef selection, but the seafood choices are also worth trying. The thick-sliced salted beef tongue is legendary.
-
20. Jamie's Italian
$$ | Causeway Bay |British celebrity-chef Jamie Oliver’s first Hong Kong venture may have had a slow start, but its heart is in the right place. The restaurant offers casual, unpretentious Italian cuisine with a heavy emphasis on sustainable, responsibly sourced ingredients. The menu follows the blueprint set out by other Jamie’s Italian outlets around the world. House favorites include hearty sharing planks loaded with cured meats, cheeses, pickles, and greens. Other familiar dishes include the famous prawn linguine.
