Best Food and Restaurants in Causeway Bay: Quick Overview
If you want the best food and restaurants in Causeway Bay: shopping, dining, entertainment in one compact neighbourhood, focus your time around Times Square HK, the Sogo–Hysan Place belt, and the streets leading towards Victoria Park. From Michelin-rated Cantonese to late-night cart noodles, Causeway Bay is one of Hong Kong’s densest food districts, and a very familiar weekend playground for Singapore travellers.
This article is a tactical dining and lifestyle companion to our main Causeway Bay city guide Causeway Bay Hong Kong Guide: Shopping, Dining & Fun | Homejourney . It helps Homejourney users – especially Singapore buyers, expats and investors – understand what daily life and weekends feel like in Causeway Bay Hong Kong, while also seeing how it compares to neighbourhoods you may consider in Singapore.
Why Singapore Travellers Love Causeway Bay
If you live in Singapore, Causeway Bay will feel like Orchard Road turned up a few notches – more neon, more vertical malls, and food options stacked across basements and high floors instead of just ground level.
Why visit Causeway Bay for food and lifestyle:
- One of Hong Kong’s busiest shopping and dining districts, centred on Times Square HK, Sogo and Hysan Place
- Dense concentration of local Cantonese eateries, Japanese izakayas, international restaurants and dessert shops[1][3]
- Easy access to greenery at Victoria Park for a breather between meals
- Ideal for travellers who like to stay where they eat and shop – similar to staying near Orchard or Bugis in Singapore
Best time to visit for food: Evenings from October to March are most pleasant – lower humidity than a Singapore night, with cooler air that makes walking between malls and dai pai dong–style eateries more comfortable. Weekends and Hong Kong public holidays will be packed; if you’re travelling with kids or older parents from Singapore, aim for early lunches and early dinners.
Getting from Singapore to Causeway Bay & Money Basics
From Singapore, fly into Hong Kong International Airport (HKG). Direct flights from Changi typically take about 4 hours. From the airport, you have three straightforward ways to reach Causeway Bay Hong Kong:
- Airport Express + MTR: Airport Express to Hong Kong Station, then Island Line MTR to Causeway Bay (about 40–50 minutes total, including transfers).
- Airport Bus (A11 or E11 routes): Slightly slower but cheaper; you’ll be dropped along Hennessy Road/Gloucester Road, a short walk to Times Square or Sogo.
- Taxi: Fastest door-to-door, but pricier; useful if arriving late with family or heavy luggage.
Currency & payment: Hong Kong uses the Hong Kong Dollar (HKD). Most Causeway Bay restaurants and malls accept contactless payment, Visa/Mastercard and mobile wallets, similar to Singapore. For small cha chaan teng cafés and street snacks, keep some cash – around HKD200–300 per person per day just for incidentals is usually enough.

Where to Eat in Causeway Bay: Verified Highlights
Causeway Bay’s food scene changes quickly, but several spots have held up over the years and are consistently recommended by local food media and guides.[1][2][3] Below is a curated mix – from casual noodles to upscale Cantonese – that reflects what you can realistically fit into a 2–3 day stay. Always check latest hours, as Hong Kong restaurants occasionally adjust opening times.
Classic & Local Eats Around Times Square HK
If you’re staying or shopping near Times Square HK, you’ll be within a 5–8 minute walk of several famous local joints.
- Wing Kee Noodle (永記粉麵) – Cart Noodles Institution
27A Sugar Street, Causeway Bay
A 20+ year-old cart noodle shop known for queues forming even before opening, serving old-school customizable noodles from around HKD39 for one topping.[1] Think of it as the Hong Kong cousin of a crowded bak chor mee stall in Singapore – simple, fast, and deeply local. Go early for shorter waits and be prepared to point at toppings if menus are mostly in Chinese. - Ho Hung Kee Congee & Noodle
A Michelin-recognised spot for silky congee and springy noodles, with signatures like noodles with spicy shredded pork and assorted meat congee from about HKD68–78.[3] If you’re travelling with family who prefer something light yet comforting, this is a safer, less oily option compared with heavy hotpot.
Dim Sum, Vegetarian & Bao: Causeway Bay Favourites
- Din Tai Fung Causeway Bay
Yee Wo Street, near Sogo
This Taiwanese xiao long bao chain is a familiar name for Singapore diners, but the Hong Kong branches are also popular. Expect consistently good dumplings and noodles, with queues at peak meal times.[1] For families with kids or picky eaters, this is a low-risk choice near major shopping. - Veggie Kingdom 緻素坊 – Vegetarian Dim Sum
A go-to for plant-based travellers wanting Cantonese-style dishes without meat.[1] Dim sum dishes range roughly from HKD32–128, while mains go from HKD42–268, making it mid-range by Causeway Bay standards.[1] Good alternative if some in your group are vegetarian but still want the full dim sum experience. - Little Bao – Modern Bao Burgers
Fashion Walk
A modern, Instagram-friendly spot serving playful bao burgers and sharing plates, with popular items like pork belly bao and sweet ice-cream baos around HKD48–98.[1] The pet-friendly outdoor seating in Fashion Walk feels almost like a Hong Kong version of a hip corner in Tiong Bahru – casual, social and great for evenings.
Upscale Dining: Cantonese & International Restaurants
For travellers who enjoy tasting menus or upscale dinners (perhaps to celebrate a closing or discuss investment plans), Causeway Bay has several refined options.[2][3][7]
- Yuè (Causeway Bay) – Michelin-Listed Cantonese
A high-end Cantonese restaurant recognised in the MICHELIN Guide for refined dishes like honey-glazed barbecued pork, prawn siu mai and crispy skin chicken, served in an elegant setting with private rooms.[2][7] This is ideal for entertaining business partners or treating family. Book ahead and budget at least mid- to high-three-digits HKD per person for a full meal. - Roganic – Modern British Tasting Menu
Lee Garden One
Known for seasonal, produce-driven cuisine with a dinner menu in the four-digit HKD range per person, featuring creative dishes such as aged duck and inventive vegetable courses.[3] Think of this as the Hong Kong parallel to a fine-dining night at a place like Odette or Meta in Singapore – a splurge meal for serious food lovers. - Casa Cucina & Bar – Italian Comfort Food
Serving comforting Italian dishes like burrata, baked rigatoni and oxtail croquettes, priced roughly around HKD100–200+ for mains.[3] It’s a flexible venue for groups with mixed tastes who want something Western after multiple Cantonese meals.
Hotpot, Izakaya & Late-Night Spots
Like Singapore’s Geylang or Boat Quay late-night scene, Causeway Bay truly comes alive after dark. If you’re hungry post-shopping or after a harbour-side walk, consider these options.[3]
- Lau Haa Hot Pot Restaurant
A retro-themed hotpot spot with neon-lit interiors and unique ingredients such as ox throat, fish maw and coral clams, plus over 20 soup bases including Chongqing spicy stock and their special chicken broth.[3] Budget a few hundred HKD per person depending on how adventurous you are with add-ons. Go in smaller groups of 3–5 to share more broths and sides. - Hungry Monkey / Inoshishi – Japanese Izakaya Vibes
