Experiencing the combination of a country’s culture and cuisine is always exciting. For example, visiting a Korean restaurant in New York or discovering a Czech restaurant in Seoul. The UoH Team is heading to Hong Kong for a business trip, so today we‘ve compiled a list of 7 Korean restaurants we love in Hong Kong. If you live in Hong Kong or are traveling there and have tried Korean food, feel free to share your recommendations!
1. MOYO
36 Aberdeen St, Central, Hong Kong
MOYO, located in Soho, is a place where you can experience ‘Itaewon vibes’ in Hong Kong. In a casual and vibrant atmosphere, you can enjoy various dishes such as yukhoe and fried chicken. Created by a Korean chef born in Italy, it has an added international flair that makes it even more appealing.
2. Maru Korean Restaurant & Pub
G/F 48 Staunton street, Soho, Central, Hong Kong
MARU is a place where you can enjoy a variety of Korean dishes, from Korean BBQ to fried chicken, noodles, pancakes, and soup. The tteokbokki is delicious and not too spicy, and the sundubu jjigae (spicy soft tofu stew) is also very tasty. If you’re looking for Korean food to enjoy with soju or beer in Hong Kong, I highly recommend it!
3. Hansik JJANG

This large-scale Korean restaurant is operated by a company that runs over 35 Korean food marts across Hong Kong. You can taste dishes prepared by chefs who have worked at renowned Korean hotels and specialists in Korean cuisine. The menu offers a diverse range of options including jeongol (hot pot), soups, stews, stir-fries, meats, bibimbap, and chicken. The generous side dishes are also a highlight.
