Tseung Kwan O has long been a hub for commuters, but East Point City in Hang Hau is rapidly transforming into a legitimate culinary destination for food enthusiasts. Beyond its extensive retail offerings, the shopping mall now hosts a diverse ecosystem of international cuisines, ranging from futuristic Japanese barbecue and artisanal Taiwanese fare to authentic Shanghainese classics. Whether you are seeking a budget-friendly lunch or a lavish hotpot feast, the mall’s latest culinary lineup offers high-quality options for every palate and occasion.
Immersive Asian Fusion and Concept Dining
For those seeking an atmospheric escape, Manshan Taipei (Shop 1187A & 187B) offers a 2,100-square-foot sanctuary designed with a unique “cave” aesthetic. The restaurant reimagines Taiwanese comfort food using health-conscious ingredients. Signature dishes include their Soft-Boiled Egg Pineapple Minced Pork Rice, where the acidity of the fruit cuts through the richness of the meat, alongside rustic favorites like Red Braised Beef Noodles and Shredded Salted Duck.
Tech enthusiasts and families alike are gravitating toward EaT Yakiniku (Shop 101), an outer-space-themed Japanese BBQ joint. The restaurant features a futuristic spaceship conveyor belt system that delivers orders directly to tables. Despite the high-tech gimmick, the value remains grounded; their entry-level Beef Short Plate set starts at an accessible $48, featuring 100g of premium beef, soup, kimchi, and rice.
Artisanal Noodles and Fresh Seafood
Noodle lovers have two distinct paths at East Point City. Rakumen (Shop 185) blends Japanese techniques with local Hong Kong sensibilities. Their “Coriander Triple Threat”—featuring a coriander-infused chicken broth, coriander noodles, and a mountain of fresh cilantro—is a viral hit among herb lovers. Meanwhile, Tsukada Shokudo (Shop 181), an offshoot of the famed Tsukada Nojo, specializes in authentic Japanese teishoku sets, including marble-textured A4 Miyazaki Wagyu Sukiyaki.
For the freshest catch, Kai Gai Don (Shop 186) brings the spirit of a Tokyo izakaya to Tseung Kwan O. Managed by Japanese owners, the restaurant sources its sashimi daily from Japan. Their signature bowls, such as the “Ocean King Don” and “Sweet Shrimp Mixed Don,” are praised for their generous portions and authentic seasoning.
Casual Cafes and Group Feasts
The local favorite Beans Brekkie Room (Shop 105) provides a minimalist, wood-toned retreat for those seeking a slower pace. Their menu is notably experimental, featuring fusion items like Fermented Bean Curd Cream Seafood Risotto and Wagyu Tongue with Yuzu Sauce Dipping Noodles.
For larger gatherings, two standout options dominate the upper floors:
- Ben Den Taiwanese Hotpot (Shop 275): Known for their “All-You-Can-Eat” Wagyu deals, this spot frequently offers buy-one-get-one-free promotions on Hokkaido Wagyu sets, making it a prime choice for hungry diners.
- Modern Shanghai (Shop 108): A family-oriented destination specializing in Huaiyang cuisine. Their Crispy Pan-Fried Soup Dumplings and Smoked Crispy Chicken offer a refined taste of traditional Shanghai.
As East Point City continues to diversify its tenant mix, it solidifies its position as a vital food corridor for the New Territories East community. Diners are encouraged to check individual restaurant social media pages for seasonal promotions and limited-time discounts.
