The Best Restaurant 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.

The Steak House

$$$$ | Tsim Sha Tsui

This restaurant, with its lively, informal atmosphere and gleaming harbor views, serves one of the best steaks in the city. You can choose from among 10 steak knives and more than a dozen mustards and rock salts—gimmicky, but fun—but the main event is the perfectly cooked, char-grilled meats. The selection is extensive, including wagyu from Japan, herb-crusted tenderloin from Argentina, the restaurant's own dry-aged beef, and other delicious cuts flown in from the United States—and all of it is lovingly seared on the grill. There isn’t a jacket-and-tie policy, but note that shorts, sleeveless shirts, and open shoes are not allowed for gentlemen.
