Authentic Chinese Cuisine at Its Finest! Top 3 recommended dinner spots in Tsim Sha Tsui

Tsim Sha Tsui, lined with modern office buildings and shopping centers, is home to many of Hong Kong’s most famous restaurants. If you’re visiting Tsim Sha Tsui, you’ll definitely want to enjoy an authentic Chinese dinner. While a quick dim sum or noodle lunch may do for the day, dinner is a time to indulge a little. For those who want to enjoy a more luxurious evening meal, here are three authentic dinner spots around Tsim Sha Tsui that we highly recommend!

1. Ye Shanghai

Located inside the Marco Polo Hongkong Hotel, Ye Shanghai offers a unique dining experience where you can enjoy dinner with a stunning view of the skyscrapers and nightscape of Tsim Sha Tsui. The interior boasts a calm atmosphere that lets you forget the city’s hustle and bustle, and during dinner hours, there is even a rare treat in Chinese restaurants—live piano music.

The dinner menu features a wide variety of seafood dishes inspired by the flavors of Shanghai, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang. A unique highlight is their extensive "tofu menu," which caters well to health-conscious diners and vegetarians. One particularly famous dish is "Longjing Shrimp," a specialty of Zhejiang Province. The combination of red and white river shrimp and green tea leaves creates a beautiful color contrast and a delicately refined flavor.

2. Chuk Yuen Seafood Restaurant

Chuk Yuen Seafood Restaurant is a well-known dining spot. The large aquarium filled with giant crabs, huge mantis shrimp, colorful fish, and sea cucumbers is a popular photo spot.

One of the restaurant’s signature dishes is “Lobster with Cheese,” highly praised for its outstanding flavor. Other popular dishes include “Braised Whole Dried Abalone” and “Deep-Fried Mantis Shrimp with Garlic and Chili.”

3. Super Star Seafood Restaurant

The flagship branch of the acclaimed restaurant "Super Star Seafood Restaurant," which won the Grand Gold Award at the Hong Kong Cuisine Awards, is located in Tsim Sha Tsui. Its menu features Cantonese cuisine centered around seafood. The Shanghai crab has a rich flavor that will likely leave you wanting more than one. A fun highlight for children is the creatively shaped dim sum made to look like animals—but don’t be fooled, the quality of the filling will surely satisfy adults as well. Variants include sea urchin and shrimp fillings, but the crab roe soup dumplings come highly recommended.

The restaurant’s specialty dinner dish is said to be "stonefish cuisine." However, even everyday dishes like noodles and fried rice made with premium ingredients are exceptionally delicious.
