Anna Lentchner — Mon, 03 Feb 2025 00:00:14 +0000

Hong Kong is known for its international dining scene, but sometimes it just doesn’t get better than good Chinese food. Here are our favourite spots for Chinese cuisine, from traditional classics to modern and Michelin-starred.

We consider ourselves extremely lucky to live in Hong Kong, where we have access to so many different types of Chinese cuisine. From spicy Sichuan, Shanghainese delights, Peking duck, and Beijing specials to local Cantonese favourites, there’s an incredible array of delicious dishes to choose from when you’re craving Chinese! To help you pick from the hundreds of restaurants in Hong Kong, we’ve chosen our favourite spots for Chinese cuisine.

Ship Kee – Authentic local food in Wan Chai

Boasting a recommendation from the Hong Kong Michelin guide and two Sassy team members, Ship Kee has been serving up Cantonese classics since 2021. It’s a must try for authentic local cuisine, especially for perfectly glazed, mega-soft char siu (no surprises there — the barbecue chef has over 40 years of experience!) and the salty lobster bites. The dim sum is also A+!

Ho Lee Fook – Creative Chinese experience in Central

From Chinese BBQ and dim sum to indulgent specials like lobster noodles and hearty seasonal stews, there’s something for everyone. For a unique treat, check out the Good Fortune Club — an all-you-can-eat dim sum brunch with vintage Champagne, held on the first Sunday of every month!

One Harbour Road – Cantonese fine dining in Wan Chai

The Grand Hyatt hotel’s iconic Cantonese-style restaurant is not only one of the most delicious in Hong Kong, it’s also one of the most picturesque. Descending from the staircase, you’ll be immersed in a colonial mansion straight from the 1930s with sweeping harbourside views. With a keen eye for presentation and a passion for sustainability, Chef Chan Hon-cheong is known for his signature set menu, which features innovative dishes like Wuxi-style Boston lobster.

Veggie Kingdom – Famed vegetarian Chinese food in Tsim Sha Tsui

What sets this plant-based Cantonese eatery apart is its commitment to homemade, all-natural dishes without the usual faux-meats. Highlights include the veggie BBQ pork, made with marinated wheat gluten in a house-made vegan char siu sauce, and the veggie fish fillet in sour Sichuan soup, featuring thinly sliced oyster mushrooms that mimic fish texture.

Chiu Chow Delicacies – Affordable Chazhou cuisine in North Point

This small and busy shop is no five-star hotel, but that hasn’t stopped it from being Michelin-recommended every year since 2018. The cold steamed fish dishes are out of this world (we love the threadfin!), as is the baby oyster congee. The food is an authentic peek into traditional Chaozhou cuisine, without breaking the bank.

Tim Ho Wan – Affordable authentic dim sum across Hong Kong

One of our tried-and-true wallet-friendly favourites is none other than Tim Ho Wan. Once known around the world as one of the most affordable Michelin-starred restaurants, yum cha enthusiasts flock to its locations across Hong Kong – and now across the globe, with its several international outposts – for its uncommon balance of taste and value. All the classics are made fairly well, but the baked char siu bun – crisp and crackly outside, jammy-sweet porcine goodness inside – is what it’s all a-bao.

Tim Ho Wan, various locations across Hong Kong, www.timhowan.com

The Chairman – Exclusive luxury fine dining in Central

The Chairman was the first Hong Kong restaurant to earn the title of best restaurant in Asia, so it’s no surprise it’s nearly impossible to secure a reservation. It moved to a new location in 2022 but remains committed to its original culinary vision, focusing on organic ingredients from local suppliers and offering signature dishes like steamed crab with Huadiao.

The Best Italian Restaurants In Hong Kong

Team Sassy — Sun, 29 Dec 2024 22:00:47 +0000

You can’t walk past a good Italian restaurant when you’re more interested in the “eat” than the pray and the love! Here are the best Italian restaurants in Hong Kong for more than just fresh pasta and pizza (although there’s plenty of that too!).

Today, Italian cuisine is a firm favourite across the globe. But that wasn’t always the case. In fact, when Italian food brought by early migrants from Italy first began spreading in the United States, it was seen as overly garlicky, greasy and generally unpalatable – criticisms that the modern foodie would hardly stand for. As attitudes shifted, palates expanded, and the dimensions of international movement and exchange grew, Italian cuisine won the hearts of diners from diverse walks of life. So too in the 852, which plays host to some of the very best Italian restaurants in the world.

Flavour, passion and gracious hospitality – these three elements should be at the core of any Italian dining experience. So, whether you’re in search of an upscale degustation for a culinary tour through the regions of Italy or an easy-going trattoria where the wine flows freely, here’s your guide to the best Italian restaurants in Hong Kong. Buon appetito!

Grissini

The first thing you notice when you walk in to Grissini is the divine smell of breadsticks (baked in-house!) – the origin of the restaurant’s name. And if that doesn’t get your tastebuds going and tummy rumbling – the extensive menu of Italian delicacies from the Campania region and vino (from a two-story wine cellar) will!

Grissini, 2/F, Grand Hyatt Hong Kong, 1 Harbour Road, Wan Chai, Hong Kong, 2584 7722, www.hongkong.grand.hyattrestaurants.com

Octavium Italian Restaurant

The dishes at Octavium don’t attempt to reinvent the “veal” – instead, it’s all about building on the essence of hearty, often rustic, classics. In this home-style Italian restaurant, the fittings are far from everyday – think handmade Venetian glasses and Italian designer furniture – lending a more minimalist, and laid-back atmosphere to enjoy dishes of first-class quality.

Octavium, 8/F, One Chinachem Central, 22 Des Voeux Road, Central, Hong Kong, 2111 9395, www.octavium.com.hk

Osteria Marzia

Black Sheep’s Osteria Marzia, situated on the ground floor of the Fleming Hotel, presents a worthy option for those in the mood for a taste of the ocean. Here, the focus is singular: coastal Italian cuisine, simply prepared. The menu pays tribute to three regions in particular – namely Campania, Puglia and Sicily – highlighting the rich, olive oil-soaked textures and tangy, anchovy-laden flavours of southern Italy.

Giando Italian Restaurant & Bar

After Chef and Founder Gianni Caprioli ventured out of Italy to travel the world, he found himself nestled in Star Street putting together a menu that acts as a testament to modern Italian cooking. Here you’ll enjoy unique dishes featuring ingredients not commonly found in Italian kitchens, but each meal stays true to the essence of the chef’s home country, with ingredients sourced from Italy’s best boutique wineries and small family farms.

Associazione Chianti

Inspired by Tuscany’s beloved trattorias, Associazione Chianti aims to embody “Cucina Povera” – the soulful heart of Tuscan dining.

Sticking true to its name, a well-curated wine list is also on offer – with Chianti as the star.

Associazione Chianti, Shop 2, 15 Ship Street, Wan Chai, Hong Kong, www.associazionechianti.com

LucAle

Although this Italian restaurant is located in an inconspicuous area, there’s nothing secretive about LucAle: this alleyway trattoria is not only recognised by the Michelin Guide, but also more broadly beloved for its palate-pleasing pasta. Popular orders include the homemade Pappardelle Al Ragù Di Bolognese Bianca, and Sassy’s favourite vegetarian Chitarrino Al Tartufo Nero adorned with generous shavings of black truffle.

Locanda dell’Angelo

A veritable slice of Sicily in Happy Valley, Locanda dell’Angelo’s kitchen is led by owner-chef Angelo Agliano, who comes from a fishing family and grew up in Sicily.

Team Sassy’s Favourite Hole-In-The-Wall Restaurants

Team Sassy — Thu, 21 Nov 2024 22:00:26 +0000

Take a break from the Michelin Guide and discover the best tried and tested hidden gems, secret spots and mom-and-pop restaurants in Hong Kong.

Hong Kong is perhaps the only city in the world where people enjoy queuing up for their food. We get it — it’s confidence inducing to see so many people take the time to do so! But sometimes, waiting half an hour for a single egg tart simply isn’t worth it (we’re looking at you, Bakehouse), and with nearly 18,000 restaurants to choose from, there really are endless options. Keep reading to discover our full list of food spots that often fall under the radar, from lesser-known breakfast nooks to hole-in-the-wall dinner venues.

Deer Horn Restaurant & Bar — Secluded casual Nepalese spot in Mui Wo

There is nothing quite like returning from a long hike, bouldering or beach day in Lantau and tucking in to some authentic momos. This remote Nepalese restaurant is situated in the scenic town of Mui Wo, across from the Lantau ferry pier, and offers some of the best homey (and affordable!) dumplings and curries in Hong Kong (we also highly recommend the pani puri). The best part? There’s also a full Western menu and plenty of plant-based options, so there’s truly something for everyone.

Deer Horn Restaurant & Bar, Shop 11, G/F, Mui Wo Centre, 3 Ngan Wan Road, Mui Wo, Lantau, Hong Kong, 3484 3095, www.facebook.com/Deer-Horn-Restaurant-and-Bar

Krua Walaiphan — MSG-Free Thai restaurant with cute decor and a big menu

Sick of queuing up at Samsen every time you want to have some Thai food? We’ve got you. Located near the escalators in Sai Ying Pun, Krua Walaiphan is a treasure trove of all your favourite dishes, from pad thai and boat noodles to pomelo salads, spring rolls and satay skewers. There’s also a great drinks and dessert menu, including, of course, a delicious mango sticky rice.

Yuki House Ramen — Hidden ramen spot with limited seating

Tucked away in an alleyway in Wan Chai, this Japanese ramen restaurant is one of the best places in Hong Kong for a hearty meal. The menu is fairly customisable but still comes with all of your classic and seasonal options, serving up fresh pork soup bases along with plant-based options. There are also plenty of toppings to choose from, and even additional pickles and condiments provided on each table (of which there are not many!).

Yuki House Ramen, Wai Cheong Building, 5-9A Gresson Street, Wan Chai, Hong Kong, 2868 3091

Kozy — Japanese izakaya-style okonomiyaki and teppanyaki restaurant

With only 20 seats available, you should definitely secure a reservation before hitting up this authentic Japanese spot in Causeway Bay. Open daily until 2am, this hidden gem brings a little bit of Tokyo to Hong Kong, serving everything from delicious teppanyaki and traditional Oden to noodles, seafood and rice dishes.

Kozy Okonomi-yaki Teppan-yaki, 9/F, Circle Plaza, 499 Hennessy Road, Causeway Bay, 2591 1281, www.facebook.com/Kozy-Okonomi-yaki-Teppan-yaki

Thai Khaow Hom — Authentic, affordable Thai food with generous portions

This hole-in-the-wall Thai restaurant is buried in Kennedy Town and offers a whole host of dishes for under $100. There are restaurants with better ambiance, but you can’t beat the prices and the portions at this spot!

Thai Khaow Hom, 6-18 Hau Wo Street, Kennedy Town, Hong Kong, 8482 9189, www.facebook.com/ThaiKhaoHom

8 Airport Restaurants To Try As Soon As You Land In Hong Kong (Or Just Before You Leave!)

Team Sassy — Mon, 18 Nov 2024 21:59:24 +0000

Hong Kong is as renowned for its dining scene as it is for its constant movement. So whether you’re diving in the minute you touch down or indulging in one last hurrah, there’s an option near your gateway that will hit the spot.

No matter how much planning we may do, eventually we all find ourselves arriving at a destination too early to check in at our accommodation, or with time to burn before a scheduled departure. That’s where a good café, diner or restaurant comes in handy, and fortunately there’s something for every occasion around the corner, down the hall or across the street from the plane, train or ship of your choice. We’ve rounded up eight spots accredited by the Quality Tourism Services (QTS) Scheme for beginning a culinary adventure or getting one last taste for the road.

chapter

Sitting just a couple of flights above Airport Express and in-town check-in, chapter is a great choice for recharging no matter the time of day. Energising coffees and a wide array of pastries make it the perfect morning stop if you’re just stepping off a redeye, and a curated wine and beer list, hearty, nourishing sandwiches and handmade pastas make it the go-to before getting on one. Either way settle into the cosy, relaxing space and tuck in to star items: Grilled Canadian Natural Pork Tomahawk, the Grilled Seafood Platter, or chill with an Afternoon Tea Set to wind down. A meatless menu is also available for the less beefy among us.

chapter, Shop 1081, 1/F, ifc mall, 8 Finance Street, Central, Hong Kong, 2982 1883, www.instagram.com/chapter_hk_official

The China Coast Bar + Grill

Located minutes from the airport, The China Coast Bar + Grill is the perfect location for effortlessly balancing business and pleasure, on the way into town or out of it. A convivial atmosphere and a wide range of snacks and meals served by friendly staff make it an ideal meeting spot where you can also catch a football match on the widescreen TVs or play a friendly game of darts. Steaks are the name of the game, with the USA Grilled Angus Filet Mignon a must-have feast, or the Angus Beef Burger for the less decadent. Wash them down with one of the 100 international beers on the menu, or perhaps try a cocktail made with one of the Grill’s 100 rums.

The China Coast Bar + Grill, G/F, Regal Airport Hotel, 9 Cheong Tat Road, Chek Lap Kok, New Territories, Hong Kong, 2286 6898, www.regalhotel.com

Crystal Jade La Mian Xiao Long Bao

Crystal Jade La Mian Xiao Long Bao’s professionalism, authentic taste and efficient service have earned it seven Bib Gourmand awards over the years and its airport location has long been recognised as the first or last stop for travellers craving quality Chinese comfort food. Shanghainese and provincial favourites are what’s on tap, including house the specialities: classic hand pulled Lanzhou noodles, particularly the Dan Dan in pork broth with secret recipe Dan Dan sauce and sesame peanut paste, and of course the 18-fold Xiao Long Bao, traditional minced pork and soup dumplings.

Grill Manten-Boshi

There’s nothing quite as unique as the Japanese omurice – omelette rice – and Grill Manten-Boshi has become one of the best in the game since it opened its doors in Azabu in 1978. A smile-inducing staple in Hong Kong, Grill Manten-Boshi ensures authentic Japanese flavours by using fresh ingredients in traditional preparations with a dash of international innovation for good measure. Among the must-tries are the Creamy Crab Croquettes, in which Japanese matsuba crab is mixed with sautéed onions and mushrooms, the signature Kagoshima and Hokkaido wagyu Beef Burger Omurice and the Hong Kong-exclusive Unagi Omurice. If your ship’s still in port the next day, come back for a Japanese Soufflé Pancake drizzled with Canadian maple syrup.

King Fong Bing Teng

Before you get on the train, head to King Fong Bing Teng for a final one-of-a-kind cha chaan teng meal. Day or night, this sophisticated Hong Kong-style diner dishes out local comfort food favourites made with quality ingredients and a healthy dose of East-meets-West creativity without straying too far from its roots. You can never go wrong with King Fong’s signature BBQ Pork Rice with Fried Egg. The pork is barbequed on site, the rice is premium Golden Phoenix Thai Hom Mali rice, and the secret recipe soy sauce is brewed locally. If you’re arriving early, start the day with an ultra-flaky Puff Pastry Egg Tart or Egg White Tart with milk, both made fresh daily. And don’t forget the milk tea on the side.

NUVA

Little welcomes visitors to Hong Kong – or bids them farewell – quite like a relaxing sea view, which is what makes NUVA the perfect bookend experience. Located at AsiaWorld-Expo a few minutes from the airport, NUVA is fine Chinese dining at its best, tucked in a quiet corner away from the city at its most frenetic. The menu’s highlights include next level dim sum, like the 12-fold Steamed Crystal Shrimp Dumpling adorned with gold foil, and the perfectly crisped Baked Stuffed Crab Shell, bursting with crab from atop a luxurious silver crab-shaped platter. Complete the feast with NUVA’s lusciously textured Baked Chestnut Pudding. As a bonus, take in the curated art work that lines NUVA’s walls.

pho.dle.bar

Combining authentic and belly-warming Vietnamese favourites with an elegant, natural and welcoming space, pho.dle.bar offers travellers a last chance to get ready for a ride. Before you get on the high speed train (or head to the airport), grab a quick snack of Bánh Mì or chewy rice paper rolls – or maybe a bowl of its signature US Angus Beef Short Rib pho in rich broth or the house speciality Vietnamese Soft Shell Crab in Yellow Curry for a kick. The word ‘bar’ is in the name, so be sure to try one of pho.dle.bar’s creative, refreshing drinks, like the Lemon, Mint, Basil, Lemongrass Soda, Green Grape Soda or Purple Mojito.

pho.dle.bar, Shop 2132, 2/F, Fire Zone, Elements, 1 Austin Road West, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, Hong Kong, 2196 8175, www.cafedecogroup.com

Top Hot Pot Spots in Hong Kong

Team Sassy — Tue, 22 Oct 2024 22:00:10 +0000

Hot pot is not just a meal; it’s an emotion, deeply rooted in Hong Kong culture. Gather your friends and family and head to these top hot pot restaurants for the ultimate warming, comfort meal.

Hot pot hits the spot, especially on cold winter days. Served to the table, simply pick from a variety of fresh ingredients (including meats, vegetables and seafood), and cook in your choice of soup base for some classic Chinese comfort food. Hong Kong has no shortage of hot pot restaurants that hit the spot, the hard part is deciding where to go! We’ve done the heavy lifting and rounded up the best hot pot restaurants in Hong Kong, in Kowloon, the New Territories and on Hong Kong Island.

616 Hotpot – Locations Across Hong Kong Island, Kowloon And The New Territories

For a classic, go-to hot pot restaurant with locations scattered across the city, look to 616 Hotpot. Dipping Wagyu beef into spicy Sichuan broth is just what we need on cooler days, and we promise you, the veggie options are equally satiating! Do note that this local eatery does not offer English menus, so get ready to whip out Google Translate if needed!

616 Hotpot, various locations across Hong Kong, www.facebook.com/616hotpot

Haidilao Hotpot – Locations Across Hong Kong Island, Kowloon And The New Territories

This chain has a whopping 150+ outlets across China and its arrival to the 852 was hotly anticipated, in part due to the restaurant being well known for the extras it offers alongside hot pot. Once seated, order via an iPad, and speak to any friendly waiting staff on hand to help. Haidilao also offers complimentary hair ties so there’s no chance of accidentally dunking your tresses into the boiling broth!

Sassy Tip: You can save yourself an appointment at your local nail bar, as this restaurant also offers complimentary manicures to its customers while they wait for their table.

HaiDiLao, various locations across Hong Kong, www.facebook.com/HaidilaoHK

Coucou Hot Pot – Locations Across Hong Kong Island, Kowloon And The New Territories

When the amazing lunchtime deals (Wagyu beef mini hot pot for $94?!) are on offer at this local favourite, you might have to wait in line for a while to get a table, but it’ll certainly be worth it! Choose between meaty or seafood broths, mild, spicy or a split bowl, and get it with a hot and crispy snack on the side for the perfect meal.

Coucou, various locations across Hong Kong, www.facebook.com/coucouhotpothk

Lau Haa Hot Pot – Causeway Bay, Hong Kong Island

From the retro neon signs marking the entrance to old Hong Kong-inspired interiors, this cosy hot pot joint spans two floors and is decked with dai pai dong tables and chairs. You can expect over 20 choices of soup bases and plenty of authentic local-style eats, so come with an empty belly!

Lau Haa Hot Pot, Shop A, B/F & G/F, Block A, Lockhart House, 441 Lockhart Road, Causeway Bay, Hong Kong, 2214 9388

SUPPA – Causeway Bay, Hong Kong Island

Set up like an old-school dai pai dong, SUPPA is great for smaller group hot pots (with a couple tables that can fit up to 10) but do not underestimate the portions and the generous spread of ingredients you’ll be in for. If spicy Sichuan soup base is your jam, you’re in for a treat, but for those who can’t stomach it, there are many milder soup bases to choose from!

SUPPA, 2/F, Circle Tower, 28 Tang Lung Street, Causeway Bay, Hong Kong, 3520 4111, www.facebook.com/SUPPAHK

Nabe One – Locations Across Hong Kong Island, Kowloon And The New Territories

If Japanese Wagyu beef tickles your fancy, this all-you-can-eat hot pot is the place for shabu shabu, and all the more loved for its affordable pricing. Knowing that we’re not all meat lovers, the restaurant also stocks plenty of fresh veggies to cook in your broth — we tend to go ham on the mushrooms!

Nabe One, various locations across Hong Kong, www.facebook.com/nabeonehk

Happy Together Hotpot – Kowloon City, Kowloon

Kowloon City needs little introduction as a foodie’s haven in Kowloon, and Happy Together Hotpot is a real blast from the 70s Hong Kong past, with neon lights, old posters and vintage hotpot stoves.
