Where to eat in Tseung Kwan O, Hong Kong: Michelin-starred chefs serve up skewers and sushi at Izakaya by K while NOC offers Instagrammable cafe treats with a sustainable message
- Enjoy French bistro fare and weekend brunch – don’t miss the ‘breakfast martini’ – at District 8, or Hong Kong food at Jomo, short for ‘joy of missing out’
- Teppanyaki Mihara combines Wa aesthetics with Japanese fusion dining; its omakase menus feature seasonal ingredients like Miyazaki Wagyu and Hokkaido scallops
Tseung Kwan O, often dubbed “the new town”, is one of the city’s most rapidly developing districts – and today you’ll find new places to eat and drink popping up all around the neighbourhood, matching the pace of its affluent new residential developments.
Izakaya by K
At Izakaya by K, Michelin-trained chef Yusuke Kitade’s take on Tokyo’s iconic after-work bars, you’ll find over 100 premium speciality dishes, whiskies, sakes, draught beers and more in a playful yet traditional atmosphere. Along with classic izakaya fare like chicken karaage, fatty tuna tartare with avocado and caviar, and skewers of pork belly, ox tongue and chicken thigh, you’ll also find sushi by fellow Michelin veteran chef Yuki Kai. And to drink? Unwind with a whisky highball or icy Sapporo beer, or quiz the sake sommelier on what to drink with your order.

Teppanyaki Mihara
A cut above your average teppanyaki restaurant, Mihara combines the simple elegance of Wa aesthetics with gourmet Japanese fusion dining. Eponymous chef Terufumi Mihara presides over a menu of seasonal ingredients, including high-grade Miyazaki Wagyu, pork, scallop and oysters from Hokkaido, South African abalone, and prestigious tuna from Daisen, one of Japan’s oldest tuna suppliers. For the quintessential experience, pick one of Chef Mihara’s two omakase menus, priced at HK$720 (US$93) and HK$1,280 (US$165), and combine it with rare sakes, whiskies and shochus from the beverage menu, more than 30 of which are available by glass.
