10 new restaurants in Hong Kong, and 1 in Macau, to try in September 2024
Sushi, ramen and teppanyaki, a Chinese restaurant with four cuisines, the return of 22 Ships, vegetarian, there’s so much to choose from
As we edge closer to the final quarter of the year, there seems to be an uptick in restaurant openings in Hong Kong despite dismal reports about the food and drink scene and some recent high-profile closures.
We remain hopeful, with this month’s batch of openings including a high-profile Michelin-star Japanese sushi restaurant, the expansion of a beloved Chiu Chow specialist restaurant, and the fifth branch of an independent vegetarian favourite.
1. Golden Blossoms
Four genres of Chinese food come together under one roof at Golden Blossoms, a new restaurant serving Zhejiang, Beijing, Shanghai and Cantonese cuisine.
More familiar dishes include Peking duck and barbecued pork, but less well-known regional specialities such as Zhejiang’s steamed dried hairtail fish with salted pork, and an assorted Shaoxing casserole, are worth trying.

2. Hung’s Delicacies
Freshly relocated from Kwun Tong to Causeway Bay, long-standing Chiu Chow restaurant Hung’s Delicacies will still serve its popular marinated dishes while adding new Cantonese wok-fried plates and small dishes to the mix.
Diners can look forward to new creations such as Chiu Chow-style cold four finger threadfin to join its classic pan-fried semi-dried version, as well as rainbow fried rice layered with egg fried rice and seafood.
To celebrate the new opening, the restaurant is offering parties of four a complimentary appetiser of tossed crispy shredded pig ear; the offer is available until September 30 and is on a first-come first-served basis.
