[MICHELIN GUIDE HongKong] HongKong 1 Star Michelin

Loaf On

  • 49 See Cheung Street, Hong Kong
  • $$ · Seafood

MICHELIN Guide’s Point Of View

It may not boast fancy displays of seafood like its promenade rivals, but this restaurant still stands out because of its cooking. Wonderfully fresh seafood is prepared using traditional home recipes that let the quality of the ingredients speak for themselves. Must-try dishes include pumpkin soup with minced fish, mantis shrimp with chilli and garlic, and steamed fish with sea salt. Ask about the seafood that needs pre-ordering when booking a table.

Ming Court (Mong Kok)

MICHELIN Guide’s Point Of View

Diners are greeted at the door by the dazzling collection in the glass wine cellar. Chef Li has over 20 years of experience, having worked at Ming Court since it opened its doors. Quality ingredients are shipped from all over the world to make remarkable dishes such as drunken sea prawns with Shaoxing wine, roasted crispy chicken, and shrimp dumplings made with blue angel prawns. It’s busy any time of the day, so it’s wise to book ahead.

MICHELIN Guide’s Point Of View

The dining room boasts dark wood panels and moody lighting, which is refreshingly different from its formerly conventional décor. Since 1990, the kitchen team has been creating traditional but refined Cantonese fare that highlights the ingredients’ natural tastes. Dim sum, barbecued meats, stir-fries and slow-cooked soups are hugely popular. Regulars also order the abalone and bird’s nest set menu for their banquet dinners in the private rooms.

MICHELIN Guide’s Point Of View

Thanks to his considerable experience, the head chef has been enticing diners back here for over a decade with his skillfully executed dishes, such as pan-fried chicken with ginger and scallion, fried Chinese kale with dried plaice, and stir-fried rice in Fu Ho style. Named after the owner, the signature Ah Yung abalone is slow-braised in a secret sauce for up to 20 hours. The dining room now has a contemporary, elegant and relaxing feel.

MICHELIN Guide’s Point Of View

This elegant restaurant has been a reliable favourite for classic Cantonese for over 35 years. Chandeliers and Sung-style paintings create an impressive backdrop for some sophisticated cooking that has changed little over time. Signatures include steamed garoupa with egg white sauce, and sautéed giant green crab with peppercorns in claypot. Those wanting to sample all the house specialities should opt for the chef’s signature tasting menu.

MICHELIN Guide’s Point Of View

‘Chaat’ means ‘to lick’ in Hindi, as the food here is so good that you’d have the urge to lick the plate. The menu covers classics from all over India, re-imagined with finesse and acumen. The must-try black pepper chicken tikka from the tandoor oven is best enjoyed with its signature cocktails. The food, the fragrant spices in the glass-clad Masala room, and a terrace affording nice harbour views work together to render a feast for all the senses.

MICHELIN Guide’s Point Of View

The longstanding sushi fixture in Sheung Wan moved to this shopping mall in 2021 and has assumed a bigger footprint. The kitchen team delivers a single menu of great value and rest assured that the fish, mostly wild-caught in Japan, is as good as ever. Yamagata sushi rice is dressed in a special blend of red vinegar for optimal acidity. If you’re lucky, you may even get to taste the live baby cuttlefish which are only available for two weeks each year.

MICHELIN Guide’s Point Of View

The founder and head chef Mok moved his restaurant to this location in 2021. As always, top notch ingredients like sea urchin, abalone and blue lobsters are flown in daily from Japan and France. But the theatrical cooking now happens in a much bigger room, along with a private room that seats eight. The wine list also sees a lot more choices. Amadai with sea urchin cream sauce stands out in particular, with its crispy scales and juicy flesh.

  • $$$ · Italian

MICHELIN Guide’s Point Of View

The Sicilian chef champions dishes that may look deceptively unfussy on the plate, but their obvious refinement makes them especially delicious. His signatures include house-made pasta and blue lobster dishes, while his modern take on rum babà is quite something. The set menu comprises seasonal and signature dishes, making it the best way to sample all specialities. Did I mention its sweeping views from the 102nd floor?

Yè Shanghai (Tsim Sha Tsui)

  • 702, 7F, K11 Musea, 18 Salisbury Road, Hong Kong
  • $$ · Shanghainese

MICHELIN Guide’s Point Of View

It may have moved to a swanky mall in 2020, but this household name in Shanghainese food has been on the radar of gastronomes for over two decades. The room is spread across two floors with a modern take on 1930s Shanghai charm. Apart from drunken chicken, and stir-fried river shrimps, try also their cold appetiser sliced pork dressed in garlic sauce – the paper-thin pork is springy in texture, and its richness is balanced by garlic and soy.

MICHELIN Guide’s Point Of View

Finding success in Singapore and Shanghai, Imperial Treasure opened its first Hong Kong branch in this sky-scrapping landmark, with panoramic views of the harbour. The stylish dining room is embellished with subtle Chinese touches, such as the ceramic Koi carps and calligraphy. A fish tank in the kitchen ensures live seafood is available every day. Poached garoupa in fish soup with crispy rice and stir fried crab in pepper are worth a try.

Spring Moon

  • $$$ · Cantonese

MICHELIN Guide’s Point Of View

The room, spread over two levels, evokes old-Shanghai circa 1920s – stained glass windows, teak floors and rugs all speak of the golden era. On the menu, however, classics are showcased side by side with novel creations such as scrambled egg white with lobster and crabmeat, and dishes garnished with edible flowers that taste of spring. Dim sum at lunch is also recommended, to be enjoyed with your choice of tea from 30 varieties.

MICHELIN Guide’s Point Of View

This grand restaurant opened in 1953 and now occupies what was once The Peninsula’s ballroom – it even has its own dedicated entrance on Nathan Road. The well-versed team looks after the guests so well here you may find yourself loathed to leave. Top quality European and Japanese produce is well prepared in a modern French style. Dishes such as blue Brittany lobster with Romesco sauce are not to be missed. For those wanting something a little different, book the Chef’s Table in the kitchen.

The Araki

  • $$$$ · Sushi

MICHELIN Guide’s Point Of View

Helmed by Mitsuhiro Araki himself, The Araki is the second overseas venture of this highly acclaimed chef, following his five years in London. The minimalistic dining room in a heritage building boasts a 200-year-old cypress counter with just 12 seats. There is only one 20-course omakase menu, with fish mostly flown in from Japan. But the chef’s considerable skills in melding local culinary culture and sushi tradition are evident in creative courses using bird’s nest and fish maw.

MICHELIN Guide’s Point Of View

Taizhou cuisine emphasises the natural flavours of ingredients, so dishes are only sparingly seasoned with aromatics. Braised wild-caught yellow croaker from the East China Sea is the must-try signature here; other recommendations include deep-fried conger eel and braised radish. Seasonal offerings include regional specialities like lamb offal which is rarely found in Hong Kong. Certain items require pre-ordering.

MICHELIN Guide’s Point Of View

The name refers to the owner – the seventh son who learned his culinary skills from his father from the age of 14. The must-try barbecue meats include roast suckling pig which is smoky and rich. The skills of the kitchen team are manifest in traditional dishes like deep-fried egg custard with chicken kidney, and steamed beef patty with dried tangerine peel. The smart room comes complete with teak floors, gold accents and warm lighting.

Helmed by Italian-Argentinian chef Paulo Airaudo and young chef Luigi Troiano, Noi specialises in a 10+-course omakase menu that prominently features seafood shipped daily from Japan, punctuated by red meat and unmissable pasta dishes. The food is deeply rooted in Italian traditions but updated with modern techniques and aesthetic. An aperitif or a post-meal herbal tea in the lounge with an ocean theme is also part of the experience.

With its authentic Shanghainese cooking and Shanghainese-speaking clientele, it’s tempting to think you’re in Shanghai. The dining room impresses with understated elegance and the booth seats offering more privacy are especially prized. Specialities include drunken squab whose velvety meat and springy skin exude an intoxicating winey aroma. Stir-fried shrimps, braised pig knuckle and braised ‘lion head’ meatballs are also not to be missed.

Supervised and managed by famed Chef Takashi Saito, the team masterfully crafts Edomae-style sushi using the best seasonal seafood. Rice from Akita and Nagano is cooked in spring water from Kagoshima and dressed in a special vinegar blend. But before you get to taste these divine creations at the cypress counter, you must first get a seat, which are always hard to come by – the reservation hotline only works during specific days and times.

Cascading glass chandeliers shaped like morning glory are set nicely against marble moon gates and camellia enamel art.

It moved to this spot in 2021, serving just one tasting menu alongside add-on choices; the creative courses are inspired by a wide range of Korean cooking.

MICHELIN Guide’s Point Of View

Founded in 1957, this family business has been running at this spot since 2011.

You can order the goose by the quarter, best enjoyed with a bowl of lai fun noodles in clear broth with a drizzle of goose fat.

Tucked away in an alley, this casual and bustling spot is the brainchild of owner-chef Lai, a Hongkonger trained in the U.S. The seafood-heavy menu has 20 tapas-style items on rotation, alongside large platters for sharing such as the famous salt-baked chicken rice with giblets and morels, and Hokkaido kinki paella. The daily seafood special is always a highlight – try their smoked fish in spices if available. Large platters need pre-ordering.

With its name that embodies freshness and seasonality, this two-storey restaurant boasts a bar and an intimate dining room. The muted colour scheme juxtaposes neutrals with occasional popping hues. Featuring mostly Japanese and some French ingredients, the prix-fixe menu changes every season, usually with both seafood and meat as the main.

Aussie chef Shane Osborn lets diners witness how quality ingredients turn into artistic culinary creations in the open kitchen. Simple recipes are executed with a refined edge which allows authentic flavours to shine through.
