Harbour North mall in North Point has emerged as a vibrant dining destination, offering over a dozen restaurants that cater to every palate—from sizzling Korean barbecue and Japanese seafood bowls to pet-friendly cafes and budget-friendly steak joints. Office workers and weekend visitors alike now have an expanded lunch and dinner repertoire along the waterfront.
Situated on Java Road in the Eastern District of Hong Kong Island, Harbour North (北角匯) spans multiple phases and brings together established chains, overseas imports, and local favourites. The mall’s strategic location near the harbour allows several outlets to offer panoramic sea views, while its diverse culinary lineup addresses the growing demand for variety—whether it’s a quick weekday meal or a leisurely weekend outing with furry companions.
Korean BBQ with a Harbour View
Jeju Bulgogi (濟州燒肉食堂) stands out as a go-to for Korean barbecue enthusiasts. Its North Point branch features floor-to-ceiling windows and an outdoor seating area overlooking the sea, creating a relaxed atmosphere for grilling. Beyond standard cuts, diners can try less common items such as marinated pork intestines, grilled pork skin, and whole baby octopus tentacles. The restaurant also offers unlimited refills of kimchi, pickled radish, and soybean sprouts, along with the classic egg-and-cheese corn side dish cooked around the grill. For those seeking heartier options, beef short rib stew, army stew with pork belly, and ginseng chicken soup are available.

The signature “Kaiho Don” piles ten varieties—sea urchin, sweet shrimp, snow crab meat, tuna, and yellowtail—onto a bed of rice. After finishing the sashimi, patrons can pour hot broth over the remaining rice to enjoy it as a chazuke tea-rice dish. Prices remain accessible for daily meals.
