A Walk Through Wan Chai and Causeway Bay: From Sushi to Sukiyaki

Hong Kong is a city best explored on foot, especially when your path winds through two of its most delicious neighbourhoods: Wan Chai and Causeway Bay. Between buzzing backstreets and glowing shopfronts, you’ll find everything from sizzling sukiyaki to soulful Indian plates and elegant omakase experiences.

So lace up, bring an appetite, and follow along on this food lover’s walk, one that proves you don’t need a map to find something incredible, just curiosity (and maybe a few spare hours).

Bengal Brothers, Wan Chai

We start in Wan Chai, where the scent of spices and sizzling flatbreads signals our first stop: Bengal Brothers. It’s bold, busy, and full of life, just like the Indian streets that inspired it. The restaurant captures the heartbeat of India’s food scene, from street-side chaats and tea-time snacks to family-style curries meant to be shared.

Inside, it’s all warmth and energy — bold colours, chatter bouncing off the walls, and that comforting aroma of toasted cumin and lime. The team here cares as much about hospitality as flavour, greeting guests like old friends and encouraging them to dig in with their hands, just as you would in Delhi. The food is punchy and comforting, with Kathi Rolls, Thali Deluxe sets, and sizzling sharing plates that make every bite feel like a little adventure.

Offer to Redeem: Go for the $298 set dinner and enjoy five courses, happy hour drinks, and a bonus dish when dining with three or more friends. It’s the perfect reason to gather your crew and turn an ordinary night into something memorable.

AMA Ristorante, Wan Chai

Just a few blocks away, but an entire world apart, sits AMA Ristorante, perched high above the city with views that turn any meal into an occasion. Helmed by Italian chef Paolo Monti, the restaurant channels the spirit of Rome with handmade pastas, hearty mains, and that easy charm only true Italian hospitality can deliver.

The atmosphere strikes a perfect balance between sophistication and warmth. By day, sunlight streams through floor-to-ceiling windows; by night, the skyline twinkles beside glasses of wine and slow conversation. AMA’s team moves with the grace of a classic brasserie, never rushed, always attentive, creating a dining experience that feels quietly luxurious. Every dish, from rich Amatriciana to delicate seafood linguine, feels like an ode to simplicity done right.

Tian Tian Authentic, Causeway Bay

Cross the canal into Causeway Bay, where the flavours of Singapore come alive at Tian Tian Authentic — the first overseas outpost of Singapore’s legendary hawker stall. For over 30 years, its Hainanese Chicken Rice has been an icon, and Hong Kong diners can now experience it in a polished, modern setting that balances nostalgia with comfort.

The vibe is casual yet sleek think polished counters, bright lights, and the friendly bustle of an elevated hawker centre. Diners come for the comfort and stay for the consistency, with each plate delivering that exact balance of juicy chicken, aromatic rice, and addictive chili sauce that made the original famous. The menu also showcases dishes from other Michelin-recommended Singaporean stalls, so every visit feels like a mini food trip across the Lion City.

Offer to Redeem: Enjoy 15% off the entire menu, from signature chicken rice to drinks. A little reward for your tastebuds (and your wallet), just remember to redeem it before dining in.

Sushi Masa x Taiko Sake, Causeway Bay

Just a few steps away, Sushi Masa x Taiko Sake offers a calm escape from Causeway Bay’s buzz, a sanctuary of clean lines, quiet focus, and perfect balance. Here, omakase meets creativity, blending traditional Japanese craftsmanship with an approachable, modern edge.

Every plate here feels like a small work of art. The chefs craft each bite with precision and pride, serving air-flown fish, seasonal specialties, and thoughtful surprises that keep guests on their toes. The sake pairings, curated by the Taiko team, are equally memorable; elegant, aromatic, and designed to match the mood of the moment. It’s the kind of place that rewards curiosity and rewards diners who linger just a little longer.

Offer to Redeem: With any omakase course, enjoy a complimentary chef’s surprise dish, made just for you. No two are the same creation, so each redemption becomes its own story to tell.

Suki Kansai, Causeway Bay

A few turns deeper into Causeway Bay brings us to Suki Kansai, a restaurant devoted to the art of Kansai-style sukiyaki. Inside, everything feels serene and intimate, minimalist wood interiors, soft lighting, and the gentle sound of sizzling beef as you cook your meal at the table.

Every detail is intentional, from the delicate broth to the marbling of the A4 Wagyu beef that melts the moment it hits the pan. The experience is immersive and interactive, inviting diners to take their time, dip each slice in raw egg, and savour the comforting warmth that defines Kansai dining. Suki Kansai feels both luxurious and deeply personal, the kind of restaurant that makes you forget the city outside.

Offer to Redeem: Dine in and receive a complimentary 40g serving of premium A4 Wagyu beef with your meal. It’s the perfect excuse to visit — and a taste you’ll want to claim before it’s gone.

Katte, Causeway Bay

End your walk at Katte, a cozy Japanese izakaya that feels like the city’s best-kept secret. With its karaoke-ready rooms, glowing lights, and laid-back vibe, Katte captures everything we love about casual Japanese dining: flavour, fun, and a sense of community.

The kitchen leans into comfort food; think charcoal-grilled skewers, sashimi, tempura, and rich izakaya bites made to share over sake. The service is relaxed and familiar, and before you know it, dinner turns into drinks, and drinks into a full-blown singalong. It’s the kind of place that proves hospitality is as much about energy as it is about flavour.

Offer to Redeem: Drop by and claim your complimentary sashimi cup, available to all dine-in guests with no minimum spend. Just show up, order your favourites, and let Katte take care of the rest.
