Your Guide to the Best Restaurants in Sai Kung
Beaching, hiking, eating – Sai Kung is the ideal spot for a sunny day out. Here's our pick of the best restaurants in Sai Kung.
One of the most picturesque places in Hong Kong, Sai Kung is full of sprawling beaches, beautiful waters and surroundings, and great food. There’s always something to do – hiking, watersports – and something to eat! With so many places to choose from, we’ve rounded up the very best.
Seafood
Probably the busiest spots in Sai Kung, Seafood Street is a true treasure trove, with plenty of Michelin star-boasting places serving fishermen’s fresh catches of the day.
Chuen Kee Seafood Restaurant
This Michelin-star establishment has two family-run restaurants - just two minutes away from each other. Situated on the waterfront promenade, choose a table on the balcony (Man Nin Street) or opt for one on the rooftop terrace (Hoi Pong Street). Full of brimming tanks of fresh seafood - cuttlefish, crab, lobsters, shrimp, molluscs, etc. - you can literally take your pick and get it steamed, fried, poached to your heart's content. We like a classic steamed fish topped with sweet soy sauce, ginger and spring onion and the deep fried mantis shrimp with salt and pepper.
Chuen Kee Seafood Restaurant, 87–93 Man Nin Street, Sai Kung, New Territories, 2792 6938; Chuen Kee (Hoi Pong Street), Hoi Pong Street, Sai Kung, New Territories, 2791 1195
Sing Kee Seafood Restaurant
Known for its wide variety of abalone dishes, this sprawling eatery has three stories with plenty of rooms, alfresco areas on the patio and private dining rooms available to book. Also Michelin-recommended, its lovely gold and red storefront is a feast for your eyes too. Make sure to try an abalone dish - we like it deep-fried with salt and pepper or stewed in oyster sauce.
Sing Kee Seafood Restaurant, G/F, 33-39 Sai Kung Tai Street, Sai Kung, New Territories, 2791 9887
Loaf On
This Michelin-star joint is not to be missed. From its signature chilli pepper crispy skin chicken (which needs to be pre-ordered!) to minced fish in pumpkin soup, and mantis shrimp with chilli and garlic, the traditional home-developed dishes at this restaurant are impressive and lovingly prepared with fresh produce. Ask a chef for a recommended dish based on your preferences!

Cafés, bakeries and dessert places
Little Cove Espresso
This Melbourne-style coffee shop has clean, minimal decor and delicious, healthy and Mediterranean inspired dishes that will fit perfectly on your Instagram feed. If we say so ourselves, Little Cove Espresso is a contender for one of the best brunch spots in Hong Kong - which is something in this food city. Settle in with a breakfast smoothie bowl or a heavenly topped sourdough (with everything from organic scrambled eggs to smashed avocado and smoked salmon). We especially like the look of the shakshuka and the beef ragu pappardelle.
