Our regularly updated guide to the newest restaurant openings in 2024 will cut through the noise and help you find the best places to eat and drink in Hong Kong this month.
You really can have it all at Minato. Combining various Japanese cuisines and culinary styles under one roof, Minato gathers the well-loved gastronomic arts of teppanyaki, kaiseki, and omakase in an intentionally minimalist restaurant space to elevate the food and the chefs’ sophisticated cooking techniques to centre stage. A trio of established chefs transform local and seasonal ingredients into indulgent meals, such as the seafood-driven Minato teppanyaki dinner menu with sea bream, Australian abalone, and duck liver, and the Mori kaiseki set, which features five kinds of appetisers, four kinds of sashimi, grilled and simmered dishes, tempura, Wagyu from the teppan grill, three pieces of sushi, and more. Order sushi à la carte or let the chefs take the lead with the premium omakase set.

Udatsu Sushi, helmed by chef-owner Udatsu Hisashi, is not your typical sushi-ya. Where else would you find a sultry jazz soundtrack, rotating contemporary exhibitions, and sophisticated nigiri creations in one place? Hailing from Japan’s capital city, where the concept is honoured with one Michelin star, Udatsu tastefully balances art, food, and music for a thoughtful and well-rounded dining experience, all the while pushing the boundaries of omakase cuisine. Local ingredients, as well as produce from Japan—with a focus on responsible sourcing and sustainability—are meticulously reimagined through precise techniques; the double-smoked fatty tuna smoulders over a straw fire, and the double sea urchin with seaweed tempura is a play on textures and nuanced flavours.
Udatsu Sushi, G/F, Stable Block, FWD House, 1881 2A Canton Road, Tsim Sha Tsui
In the mood for all things Chinese? No need to choose between various regional cuisines for your next meal—have a bite of everything at Golden Blossoms, where traditional dishes from Zhejiang and Beijing to Shanghai and Guangdong are masterfully addressed. From the signature honey-glazed Kurobuta pork, marinated in a rose-infused sauce, to the historical assorted Shaoxing casserole, complex Peking-style roasted duck, and unmissable braised chicken with abalone, this new restaurant at K11 Musea harmoniously assembles gastronomic highlights from around China in a striking, golden-hued dining room.
