East Point City in Tseung Kwan O, traditionally known for its retail offerings, is solidifying its status as a major dining destination, offering an impressively diverse portfolio of international and local cuisine that caters to every palate, from innovative Taiwanese fare to high-tech Japanese barbecue and authentic Shanghainese classics. This strategic concentration of varied establishments—including nine notable venues such as the cavernous Man Shan Taipei, the futuristic EaT Yakiniku, and the homegrown Beans Brekkie Room—positions the shopping centre as a crucial epicentre for food enthusiasts throughout Hong Kong’s New Territories.
International Flavours and Innovative Concepts Take Center Stage
The mall’s dining landscape is marked by both quality and thematic innovation. A standout is EaT Yakiniku, a Japanese barbecue restaurant that transports diners to outer space with its alien-themed decor and unique use of a cosmic conveyor belt system for automated food delivery. Beyond the engaging setting, EaT offers exceptional value, notably the Beef Chuck Short Plate Set starting at just $48, which includes 100g of meat, kombu soup, kimchi, and rice. High-rollers can indulge in premium cuts, including Miyazaki Wagyu and Kagoshima Black Pork.
For those craving authentic Japanese flavours, several destinations offer fresh imports. Tsukada Shokudo, an offshoot of the renowned Tsukada Nojo farm in Japan, specializes in high-quality Japanese set meals (teishoku), with a focus on ingredients directly flown from Japan. Their popular sukiyaki sets feature highly-marbled Japanese A4 Miyazaki shoulder loin beef. Similarly, Umi Machi Don (Hai Gai Don), a Japanese-managed establishment designed with a cozy izakaya feel, guarantees freshness with sashimi and seafood bowls (donburi) that are flown in daily from Tokyo markets.
Meanwhile, Japanese chain Hama Sushi caters to budget-conscious sushi lovers, leveraging its network of over 700 outlets across Japan to offer value-driven, limited-time specials like $12 flame-seared conger eel and king prawn, making premium sushi readily accessible.
Hybrid Dining and Local Heroes
Two establishments exemplify the local dining scene’s flair for blending traditions. Lok Min (樂麵) crafts a distinctly Hong Kong-Japanese ramen hybrid. While their signature Amber Shoyu Ramen features a deeply rich two-hour broth, the must-try for adventurous diners is the cilantro-based ramen, combining coriander paste with a rich chicken-white broth—an intense treat for cilantro aficionados.
The Taiwanese food scene also sees a significant upgrade with both modern and classic interpretations. Man Shan Taipei occupies a spacious 2,100 sq. ft. unit designed like a relaxing, cave-inspired retreat. This venue offers innovative Taiwanese cuisine, exemplified by their signature Onsen Egg and Pineapple Minced Pork Rice, where the pineapple’s acidity cuts through the richness of the classic pork sauce. For a more communal experience, Bull Star Taiwanese Hotpot (犇殿台灣火鍋) provides both À la carte and 90-minute all-you-can-eat options, frequently running attractive promotions such as a buy-one-get-one-free offer on select Hokkaido Wagyu sets.
Rounding out the culinary journey are establishments focusing on comfort and familiarity:
- Jia Shanghai (家上海): An excellent family choice, featuring authentic Huaiyang and Shanghainese cuisine, including the beloved crispy pan-fried soup dumplings and smoked crispy chicken.
- Beans Brekkie Room: A local, popular café featuring a minimalist, wood-centric design. Its menu is internationally influenced, mixing all-day breakfast staples with inventive dishes like Fermented Tofu Cream Seafood Risotto.
East Point City has transformed into a culinary melting pot, offering both global flavours and localized comfort food.
