Causeway Bay Restaurants: Where To Eat In CWB

Wing Kee Noodle — Famous Cart Noodles With Large Queues

A small restaurant in Causeway Bay serving old school cart noodles, this 20+ year old shop is a well-known local gem — hence the constant queues that form even before it opens! Cart noodles start at just $39 for one topping (up to $56 for four), with popular add ons being cuttlefish and brisket!

Wing Kee Noodle, 27A Sugar Street, Causeway Bay, Hong Kong, 2808 2877

Mother Of Pizzas — New York-Style Pizzeria By The Pie Or By The Slice

Come to this Causeway Bay pizzeria hungry, as it touts true American sizing (13″ to 18″ pies) and toppings galore. We love the Summer of Love 1967 ($238 or $438), topped with capicolla, sausage, pineapple and hot honey, along with the classic Queen Margherita ($198 or $368)! If you’re looking for a takeaway option, you can also opt for $50 large slices!

Mother Of Pizzas, 13-19 Leighton Road, Causeway Bay, Hong Kong, 2891 2221, www.motherofpizzas.com

Din Tai Fung — Famous Taiwanese Chain With Michelin Recommendation

A perpetual Sassy Reader favourite serving up some of the best xiao long bao in the city, this world famous chain is a must-visit!

豐鮪 — Hidden Gem With Affordable Japanese Donburi Near Hysan Place

Is this the cheapest donburi in Hong Kong? Probably not — but considering a set meal here starts at just $138 for a high-quality bowl of minced bluefin tuna on rice, miso soup, a salad, chawanmushi and unlimited tea, we’re not complaining! We’re also fans of the slightly pricier Dream Donburi Set ($178), which includes a fish shao-mai along with plenty of fatty tuna slices.

豐鮪, Shop 5, G/F, Lee Fat Building, 30-36 Jardine’s Crescent, Causeway Bay, Hong Kong, 9344 3657

FRITES — Belgian Cuisine With Generous Portions

If you’re after traditional European fare (and plenty of beer!), look no further than FRITES! Expect hearty portions, along with one of Hong Kong’s largest selections of draught and bottled Belgian beer (and an unbeatable weeknight happy hour!). We love the signature moules frites ($275 for half kg, $450 for 1kg), which uses sustainably sourced mussels from South Australia and offers unique sauces like laska curry.

Little Bao — May Chow’s Bao Burger Restaurant On Fashion Walk

Another favourite of ours in the city, head to Causeway Bay for a taste of Little Bao’s delicious buns and to lounge about the pet-friendly outdoor area. The eclectic menu serves a range of sharing plates (hello truffle fries!), along with its signature baos. We love the pork belly bao ($68 to $98) and the veggie-friendly sloppy chan bao ($58 to $78), but don’t leave without a taste of one of the sweet ice-cream baos ($48)!

Little Bao, 9 Kingston Street, Causeway Bay, Hong Kong, www.little-bao.com

Aladin Mess — Halal-Certified Comforting Indian Restaurant Near Times Square

Haidilao — Chinese Hot Pot Chain With Secret Codes

This hot pot chain now has more than 150 outlets across China and several across Hong Kong, so it’s safe to say it’s a popular one. Obviously, the hot pot here is good, but Haidilao is perhaps even more famous on socials for its not-so-secret code language through which you can get free gifts (ie. if you tell the waiter “the tomato soup is really good”, they’ll gift you a bag of goodies)!
