2 Best Restaurants in Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong

Background Illustration for Restaurants

Tsim Sha Tsui is a foodie's paradise. The high density of hotels here—from the legendary Peninsula Hotel to the chic and modern Mira Hotel—means that there is no shortage of luxury dining options. This district also has several large shopping malls, all filled with restaurants, some better than others. The area is also known for its authentic Korean and Indian cuisine. For the best local eats, though, head to neighboring Yau Ma Tei, especially the Jordan Road area, and to Mong Kok. The eateries here tend to be cramped and noisy, but it’s worth exploring for those who want to immerse themselves in the city's local culture.

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.

Outdark Korean Restaurant

$$ | Tsim Sha Tsui

Tsim Sha Tsui is sometimes called Little Korea due to the number of Korean restaurants in the district; and while the number of Korean restaurants has dwindled after COVID-19, a few stalwarts remain, one of which is Outdark. This fried-chicken outpost from Busan, South Korea dishes out all the Korean classics, but the spicy cheesy chicken served on a stone platter is particularly tasty.
