The Best Restaurants in Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong
Tsim Sha Tsui is known for its uninterrupted views of Hong Kong Island’s harbour, the beloved statue of Bruce Lee and first-class foodie experiences. Head here for international fine dining and innovative twists on traditional Cantonese cuisine.
1. The Drunken Pot
Restaurant, Chinese
The Drunken Pot offers a modern take on hot pot, one of Hong Kong’s most beloved dining styles. Each table is served a big bronze cauldron that bubbles away with a few different soup flavours. Diners must then choose from a range of ingredients to cook in the stock. Highlights on the menu are the cute soup dumplings, which are made to look like baby chickens, and the thinly sliced angus beef, which arrives at your table hanging delicately from a wooden rack. The waiters are friendly and happy to help hot pot first-timers.
2. Spring Deer
Restaurant, Chinese
In Hong Kong, you’ll typically find duck cooked the Cantonese way – tender, fatty, generously sliced hunks of poultry, served with soy sauce infused with herbs and spices. Bucking the trend, Spring Deer specialises in peking duck – a defining dish of the mainland capital that is distinguished by its lengthy preparation methods, crispy skin and melt-in-your-mouth meat, marbled by the rendered fat. This Mody Road restaurant has gained a reputation for serving the best peking duck in Hong Kong. Come during lunch hours to skip the queues, or expect wait times or disappointment during the dinner rush.

5. Scarlett

Most cuts come from Australia, where the cows are grain-fed and the meat is wet-aged. Clocking in at 2,200 Hong Kong dollars (£220), the wagyu steak is the jewel of the menu.
