The only word that describes Hong Kong’s culinary experiences is ‘Vast’. The compact city of Hong Kong is home to more than 12,000 restaurants and thus it wouldn’t be wrong to call it a dining district in itself. Every corner of the city will give you a unique culinary experience and hence you will never be plagued by the question of where to eat in Hong Kong. However, you cannot miss the gastronomic neighborhoods where everything takes a backseat when it comes to the business of cooking. 

1. Mak’s Noodles

Mak’s Noodles at Wellington Street Central is known for its delicious wonton noodles serving healthy sized portions with a tasty broth and extremely cheap prices thus also making it one of the best noodle shops in Hong Kong. The food is homemade and service prompt. 

2. Kong Restaurant

If you are looking to gorge on something as simple as rice and chicken, check out the Kong restaurant on Nathan Street. It culinary expertise in preparing fried rice and a variety of chicken dishes make this place worth the try. The place is perfect for a quick, light and not to mention cheap lunch. 

3. Tsui Wah

Tsui Wah on Wellington Street is a chain restaurant serving not just delicacies from Hong Kong but also from the Western world. What attracts foodies to Tsui Wah is its famous Cantonese preparations like curry beef brisket, fish ball noodles, and crispy condensed milk buns. Though the city is dotted with the restaurant, you should expect a long wait, if you go during peak hours like lunch or dinner.

4. Aberdeen Fish and Noodle Soup

Another great place to check out is the Aberdeen Fish and Noodle Shop. Though the shop doesn’t host many foreign travelers, it should be on the list of all. Try the fried noodles and fish ball soup. The spices are the right mix to give your taste buds a jump. The place is thronging with locals and that makes the service a bit slower. Make sure to flag down the staff when you need something. The restaurant lets parties share a table so don’t shy away from doing so.

5. Yokozuna

There are plenty of places to eat in Hong Kong and they serve different cuisines too. Like the Yokozuna on Nathan Road. It is consistently one of the best restaurants serving ramen in Hong Kong. Most people tend to get put off by its waiting time as the restaurant seats only twenty-four people at one time. But every minute of the waiting is worth eating as you get served with freshly cooked broth and noodles.

6. Sushi Mori

Sushi Mori on the Tang Lung Street at Causeway Bay is a sushi restaurant but not too cheap. They serve USD 45 lunch special that comes with the great quality of fish, huge portions, appetizer, and a dessert. Sushi is always pricey and if you want to make it worth your penny, Sushi Mori is just the place to be.

7. Tim Ho Wan

Among the places to eat in Hong Kong, comes a world-famous restaurant, Tim Ho Wan. The restaurant, located in Mong Kok, is famous for its dim sum. It has three Michelin stars in its pocket which means the people come here in droves to satiate their taste buds. Expect to wait for as long as three hours at times.
