The popular fusion restaurant chain Chilli Lime has opened its third Hong Kong branch in the heart of Tsim Sha Tsui, bringing a vibrant menu that crosses borders from Thailand to India. With an experienced culinary team of Thai and Indian chefs at the helm, the new outlet is already drawing attention for its creative takes on classic street food dishes and a wallet-friendly weekday lunch buffet.
Tsim Sha Tsui’s dining scene just gained a fresh option for those craving bold, cross-cultural flavours. Chilli Lime’s newest location, situated in the basement of Prince Centre on Peking Road, joins the brand’s existing outlets in Tseung Kwan O and Yuen Long. The restaurant’s concept is simple: take the best-loved elements of Thai, Indian, Vietnamese, and Malaysian cuisines and weave them into a cohesive menu that feels both adventurous and comforting.
Highlights From the New Menu
The kitchen team has curated a list of standout dishes that showcase the depth of its fusion approach. For seafood lovers, the Southwest Indian Whole Fish Curry (HK$238) uses a fresh whole fish slow-cooked in a coconut milk-based curry, infused with tamarind, mustard seeds, and curry leaves for a tangy, mildly spicy finish. The Thai Salmon Sticks (HK$128) reinterpret a popular Bangkok street snack by swapping traditional meat for salmon, seasoned with fish sauce, garlic, and white pepper, then air-dried and fried to a crispy golden exterior while keeping the fish tender inside.
Another notable offering is the Northern Thai Coconut Curry Wagyu Noodle Soup (HK$158). Marbled wagyu beef is simmered until its rich fat releases into a fragrant broth made with Thai spices, coconut milk, and a gentle chilli kick. The bowl comes with silky egg noodles that soak up the curry, topped with crispy fried noodles for added texture. For those seeking something hearty, the Signature Beef Fried Rice (HK$148) uses jasmine rice wok-fried with tender beef, Thai basil, and bird’s eye chilli, creating a fragrant, lip-smacking plate.
Grilled items also feature prominently. The Grilled Prawns with Riceberry Rice (HK$228) delivers plump, charred prawns with a subtle smokiness, paired with nutritious Thai riceberry rice. Meanwhile, a Southern Thai Curry Minced Meat Lettuce Wrap (available with chicken for HK$138 or beef for HK$148) offers a refreshing way to enjoy a richly spiced curry, with crisp lettuce leaves balancing the heat.
Lunch Buffet Serves Value and Variety
One of the key draws at the new Tsim Sha Tsui branch is the introduction of a weekday lunch buffet, available from Monday to Friday, 11:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Priced at HK$148 per person including a drink, the buffet covers a wide spread of salads, appetisers, small bites, and a rotating selection of main courses. Highlights include creamy butter chicken, Thai green curry roasted chicken, Vietnamese beef pho, Thai basil stir-fried beef, cashew chicken, Indian paneer butter masala, and vegetarian spiced rice.
For just over a hundred dollars, diners can sample a curated tour of Asian flavours in a single sitting.
Cocktails and Mocktails With a Tropical Twist
The beverage menu at the Tsim Sha Tsui outlet extends the fusion ethos into drinks. Green Mango More blends green apple vodka with fresh lime and tropical fruit juices, while Fresh Thai Colada combines white rum, coconut rum, citrus, and young coconut water. For a non-alcoholic option, Refresh Your Mind mixes green apple with fresh mint for a crisp, cooling finish.
Opening Promotion Offers Discounts on Buffets
To celebrate the launch, Chilli Lime is running a limited-time promotion valid until 31 October 2026. Diners can enjoy a 20% discount on the weekend brunch buffet (HK$159 per person, originally HK$198) and a 20% discount on the weekday lunch buffet (HK$119 per person, originally HK$148). Both deals include a complimentary non-alcoholic drink per person. Standard terms apply, and a 10% service charge is calculated on the original price.
The new restaurant is located at Basement, Prince Centre, 12A Peking Road, Tsim Sha Tsui. It operates daily from 11:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. Reservations can be made by calling 2123 9891.
