Sing Kee

As a one Michelin starred restaurant, Sing Kee has been offering fresh seafood from the waters of Sai Kung for the past 10 years. Customers are able to enjoy Cantonese delights such as steamed garlic abalone, deep fried tofu and Mantis shrimp prepared by experienced chefs. A popular dish at Sing Kee is the cheesy lobster noodles with a twist, using rice vermicelli noodles instead of e-fu noodles.

Cheung Kee

Located along the waterfront, Chuen Kee is an eye-catching seafood restaurant with golden decor with an alfresco seating area overlooking the water. Diners can enjoy a variety of seafood dishes made with freshly caught ingredients everyday.

Big Fish Seafood and Grill

If you’re dining with non-seafood lovers, Big Fish Seafood and Grill serves a range of other dishes including ribs and salads to cater to everyone’s preferences. The restaurant also has a special oyster promotion where diners can receive two glasses of prosecco free with every dozen oysters ordered.

Enjoy Northern Thai food served by skilled Thai chefs along Sha Ha Beach. As well as classic Thai dishes including green curry and pad Thai, the restaurant also has an extensive seafood menu featuring mud crab, prawns, clams and mussels.

Camden Town

While this may not be the seafood you were expecting, this British style restaurant serves up classic fish and chips which has remained their best selling dish for the past 14 years.

Loaf On

Established in 2006, Loaf On was honoured a Michelin Star in 2010 for its unique technique and home-cooking recipes with fresh seafood. The signature chilli pepper crispy skin chicken is one of its most popular dishes so be sure to pre-order it when making a reservation.

Momentai closes its doors

Sai Kung’s beloved waterfront restaurant and bar Momentai, will be closing its doors on August 15. After four years of sundowners, the restaurant’s lease is up and while the team waits to hear the verdict on the location, they have to vacate the space until early next year. But it’s not all bad news, the brand is excited to open a new concept, Graceland, in Mong Kok this September and will continue to operate Joe-San next door. In an announcement on the restaurant’s Facebook page the team stated, “we hope to come back and we’re optimistic about our chances. However there are no guarantees so we all have to be fully prepared for the chance that the lease will be given to someone else. Thank you all so much for an incredible four years, it’s been a dream come true and hopefully we’ll be back to keep it going.”
