3 Best Restaurants in Hong Kong, China

Samsen

$$ | Wan Chai Fodor's choice
Chef Adam Cliff made his name at Chachawan in Sheung Wan before opening this, his very own, Thai noodle shop on a historic Wan Chai street. You can spot the open-air restaurant from a mile away, due to the nonstop line out the door—the wait is worth it for Cliff's fresh and flavorful Thai boat noodles, pad Thai, pomelo salads, crab omelettes, and lots of street-style classics.

Lung Jie Thai Restaurant

$

Dubbed Little Thailand, Kowloon City is home to some of the best Thai restaurants in town. Lung Jie is one of the more popular choices, and for good reason—the food is excellent and the flavors are authentic. The extensive menu covers all the basics, from stir-fried pad thai noodles to hot-and-sour tom yum soup. For something a little more adventurous, try the raw prawns, which are topped with garlic and chilies and served with a deliciously spicy dipping sauce on the side.

Mango Tree

$$ | Causeway Bay

This eatery has won rave reviews since the first outlet opened in Bangkok. The Hong Kong branch lives up to its predecessor's reputation and boasts a winning formula of designer decor, friendly service, and tasty, refined takes on authentic regional Thai dishes. You can start with char-grilled pork neck before moving on to one of the spicy-and-sweet soups or salads. We also recommend the herb-laden duck and lamb curries, as well as a stir-fried noodle dish to anchor the meal.
