My favorite Chinese restaurant in Hong Kong! Wonderful high-quality ingredients, quietly impeccable service, clean and unpretentious atmosphere. Truly "a relief" of a restaurant (tomeatsjencooks)

My Sichuan pick for upscale and super spicy Sichuan food right in Soho! Slick and dark design makes it good for dates as well as group events, but prepare for the water bill to be about half the tab.

My go-to for perfected dumplings and juicy xiao long bao (also a location in Causeway Bay). Efficient service and there is always the lore of knowing each soup dumpling has precisely 18 folds

My pick for a Chinese meal (or just drinks at Aqua upstairs) if you want to awe or be awed with the city views and decor. The food is great, but there is better value elsewhere...

So-called 'private kitchen' restaurants have long been a thing for Hong Kong restaurpreneurs amidst high rent and licensing -- Da Ping Huo is special for its operatic finale to the basement dinner.

Southern ribs + cornbread in Hong Kong? YES! Fantastic for groups, by reservation only, BYOB, and with large private dining rooms to contain all the buttery southern cooking indulgence you can handle.

My Italian favorite: homemade burrata to die for, lamb meatballs, and generally wonderful ingredients on their rotating chalkboard menu. Great bar + wine selection and real service - please tip !!

For Hong Kong "charm" and a quick milk tea / noodle fix -- this is a semi-enclosed "dai pin dong" open air food stall and an institution amidst the wet market underneath Lyndhurst Terrace.

Loud, efficient, Cantonese dim sum at its best. This Hong Kong institution is all trolley-laden dim sum thrills, no extra frills.

One of the more famous dim sum institutions in Hong Kong, and the location is pretty unbeatable. Be prepared to wait if you go on the weekend as they don't take reservations

A very popular, no frills, Cantonese dim-sum establishment and an "old Hong Kong" landmark -- it's a two-story space and turnover is quick; go upstairs if there isn't room on the ground floor!

An extensive beer list, selection of mixed drinks (try the Bloody Mary made with cherry tomatoes!) and a solid menu of British pub food in this surprisingly cavernous Soho space. Service can be slow.
