MY favorite restaurants IN HONG KONG

Last Updated: 07/04/2018 | July 4th, 2018

In the crowded streets of Hong Kong, one always finds street vendors serving delicious noodles, roasted ducks hanging in the windows of restaurants, fish tanks full of tonight’s dinner, and trendy eateries next to decades-old dim sum establishments. smells of rice, fried chicken, and noodles fill the air as you relocation from restaurant to restaurant. Food is the grease that keeps the wheels of this city moving at a lightning-fast pace.

As my flight began its final descent, I drooled over the thought of all the food I was going to eat during my (fourth) visit. Within hours of landing, I’d eaten three meals.

Over the course of the next four days, I gorged myself every waking hour in purchase to create a robust list of suggested restaurants for future travelers. I’m pretty sure I gained about five pounds. but the food in Hong Kong is worth all the extra time at the gym. I can’t imagine the city without it.

Here is my list of the best places to eat in Hong Kong:

Mak’s Noodles (77 Wellington Street, Central, 852-2854 3810) – Mak’s is well-known for its wonton noodles and is one of the best noodle shops in the city thanks to its tasty broth, healthy-sized portions, and cheap prices (less than $5 USD). All its food is homemade, and the service is quick. I’ve been twice, and slurping down those noodles is one of my new favorite things to do in Hong Kong. Besides the Wellington street location, there are four other locations in Hong Kong.

Kong restaurant (Alpha House, 27 Nathan Road, TST, 852-2366 724, wukong.com.hk) – Located on Nathan Road, the fried rice and chicken dishes make this restaurant worth a stop. I loved their pineapple rice, which arrived in a big portion, heavy on the pineapple (yum!). If you’re searching for a quick, light, and cheap lunch, this place is a good choice. Sadly, their noodles are mediocre in a city known for noodles (Mak’s is better).

Tsui Wah (15-19 Wellington Street, Central, tsuiwah.com) – This popular chain restaurant serves both Hong Kong and Western dishes, though it’s well-known for its Cantonese dishes such as fish ball noodles, curry beef brisket, and crispy condensed milk buns. It’s always crowded but makes for great hangover food. If you go during top dinner or lunch hours, expect a long wait. You can find locations all over the city.

Aberdeen Fish and Noodle shop (139 Tung Choi Street, Mong Kok) – I stumbled across this noodle and soup shop located near the ladies Market in Mong Kok while searching for lunch one day. The shop was filled with locals — I didn’t see one Westerner there, and judging by “are you lost?” looks from the other patrons, I don’t think they see numerous Western diners. The fried noodles were delicious and very cheap ($2.50 USD) and they serve a tasty fish ball soup. service is slow, so be sure to flag down the staff when you want something. The restaurant will also seat various parties together to fill the table, so don’t be shy about sharing a table with strangers.

Yokozuna (466-472 Nathan Road, Yau Ma Tei) – This is one of the best and many consistently good ramen places in Hong Kong. The restaurant only seats 24, so expect a wait for a table. But, for your patience, you’ll be rewarded with flavorful broth and noodles made fresh and served quickly. As a ramen lover, this place gets two thumbs up from me.

Butao Ramen (69 Wellington Street, Central, butaoramen.com) – Another world-class ramen restaurant. This small establishment is well-known for its slow-cooked pork bone soup and “King Black,” a squid ink ramen soup. The regular ramen with basic pork and noodles are richly flavored. They serve a delicious miso-flavored ramen, too!

Sushi Mori (16/F, Circle Tower, 28 Tang Lung Street, Causeway Bay) – This sushi restaurant isn’t cheap, but their $45 USD lunch special gives you a lot of superb-quality fish, big portions, and an appetizer and dessert. They even use real wasabi (what you eat at many places is just colored horseradish). Sushi is always a splurge, but if you want to do so and make it worth it, I recommend this place. Det er utrolig.

Shang Hai HK restaurant – This tiny restaurant tucked away in Jardin’s marketplace on Causeway Bay provides some of the tastiest chicken and rice in Hong Kong. big portions are served by friendly staff on shared tables. I return here each time I’m in the city. Not only is it delicious, it’s cheap (under $5 USD).

Kam Lung Gourmet (Floor 1, shop 29, Jade Plaza shopping Plaza, 3 On Chee Road, Tai Po, new Territories) – On the same street and a couple of doors down from Shang Hai HK, this place also served delicious noodles and succulent svinekjøtt. It’s inexpensive, popular, and open late. It’s a good little hole-in-the-wall restaurant.

Tim Ho Wan (Shop 72, G/F, Olympian City 2, 18 Hoi Ting Road, Tai Kok Tsui) – This is the world-famous dim sum restaurant located in Mong Kok. Its three Michelin stars imply that everyone wMaur å spise her, og som et resultat kan ventetidene være opptil tre timer lange. Maten er verdt å vente! (For å unngå linjer, kom om morgenen – dim sum er en frokostmat uansett.)

Chom Chom (G/F Block A, 58-60 Peel St, Central, Chomchom.hk)-Hvis du søker etter god vietnamesisk mat i Hong Kong, kan du sjekke ut dette stedet i Soho. Det serverer enestående pho med rikt smaksatt buljong i sunne porsjoner. Det er et populært sted blant de vestlige utvendige i byen.

Din Tai Fung (G/F, 68 Yee Wo Street, Causeway Bay, Dintaifung.com.hk) – En annen veldig populær Dim Sum -restaurant i Causeway Bay (de har faktisk flere steder rundt i byen og verden) som er pakket all den tid. De er velkjente for suppe-dumplings og dampede svinekjøttboller (jeg elsket begge). Maten kommer raskt, serverne er vennlige, og du føler at du er i banketthall fordi den er så stor.

Lan Fong Yuen (G/F, 2 Gage Street Central)-Som ligger i Graham Street Market-området, er denne lille restauranten kjent for melkete og smørbrød. Men kom hit og få nudlene og BBQ -svinekjøttet – de er smakfulle og mye mer fylling. Det er et populært stopp med både lokalbefolkningen og matturene.

Tuk Tuk Thai (G/F, 30 Graham Street Central) – Også som ligger på Graham Street, gir Tuk Tuk den mest konvensjonelle thailandske maten i byen. Deres karri, papaya -salat og ris smaker alle ut som om de ble laget i Thailand. Sørg for å stoppe her hvis du gleder deg over autentisk thailandske mat (og noe litt krydret).

Lin Heung Tea House (G/F, 160-164 Wellington Street)-Som ligger i Soho, dette dim sumstedet er populært blant lokale kinesere og ser ut til å ha sin rettferdige andel av gjengangere som bare sitter rundt og skyter sh*t. Det minner meg om en lokal forstads kaffebar der gammeldagere går. Det er et konvensjonelt sted, så servitører kommer rundt med vogner med mat og du tar det du vil. Ikke forvent en engelsk meny, men lokalbefolkningen og servitører vil hjelpe deg når de ser det forvirrede ansiktet ditt se overhodet oppvasken. Dette stedet er flott for familier og store grupper også.

Mr. Wongs (10 Shamchun Street, Mong Kok, Mr. Wong’s) – et sted som er populært blant utlendinger i Mong Kok, Mr. Wong’s serverer ikke den beste maten i Hong Kong, men han serverer ubegrenset mat og øl på en pris. Det er en av de mest behagelige opplevelsene, med reisende og utvandrere som deler historier og øl med hverandre og Mr. Wong selv! Denne restauranten handler om opplevelsen. Det er min favorittverdi sted i Hong Kong.

Ding Dim 1968 (Shop A, 14d Elgin Street, Central, Dingdim.com)-Rimelig og deilig, denne Dim Sum-restauranten gir både en konvensjonell take og et moderne spinn på klassikere, i tillegg til mat som er håndlaget fersk hver dag med Ingen MSG og gode vegetariske alternativer.

Denne listen er bare forslaget fra isfjell og fornøyd.

Bestill turen til Hong Kong: Logistiske forslag og triks
Bestill flyet ditt
Bruk Skyscanner eller Momondo for å finne en billig flytur. De er mine to favoritt søkemotorer fordi de søker på nettsteder og flyselskaper over hele kloden, slik at du alltid vet at ingen stein er igjen. Begynn med Skyscanner først, men fordi de har den viktigste rekkevidden!

Bestill innkvarteringen din
Du kan bestille vandrerhjemmet ditt med Hostelworld, ettersom de har den viktigste varelageret og de beste tilbudene. Hvis du vil bo et annet sted enn et herberge, kan du bruke booking.com, da de konsekvent returnerer de rimeligste prisene for gjestehus og billige hoteller. Mine favorittsteder å bo er:

Ikke glem reiseforsikring
Reiseforsikring vil ivareta deg mot sykdom, skade, tyveri og kanselleringer. Det er omfattende beskyttelse i tilfelle noe går galt. Jeg drar aldri på tur uten det, da jeg har måttet bruke den flere ganger i fortiden. Mine favorittbedrifter som tilbyr den beste servicen og verdien er:

Safety Wing (for everyone below 70)

Insure My trip (for those over 70)

Medjet (for additional repatriation coverage)
