4 Best Restaurants in Hong Kong, China

Named after the Korean pronunciation of cosmos—a flower that reminds executive chef Sung Anh of his childhood—Mosu is a Korean fine-dining restaurant located in the M+ museum. The tasting menus are populated with dishes that refined and creative, with a clear Korean flair.

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.

Come here for a refined, modern rendition of quintessential Korean cuisine. Barbecued meats are a must, and we especially recommend the sam gyup sal (thick slabs of pork belly). Moving away from the conventional dishes, Han Ga Ram also offers a few newfangled creations such as fusion salad rolls and spicy pork sliders, which are available on the lunch menu. Traditionalists may want to wash down their meal with soju (a distilled rice liquor), but the staff is also happy to suggest wine pairings to go with each dish.

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.
