Hong Kong - Post Report Question and Answers

What typical restaurants, food delivery services, and/or takeout options are popular among expatriates?

You can get every kind of food imaginable here, unless you can't live without Taco Bell or Burger King. I think Hong Kong has more McDonald's per capita than anywhere else in the world. I read recently that Hong Kong has roughly 15,000 restaurants. - Jun 2020


Deliveroo, Food Panda, Honestbee, Uber Eats etc all deliver any kind of food/groceries you could want. Reasonably-priced delivery, even if the food/groceries themselves are relatively expensive. Given the large expat communities here any type of food you could ever want exists in Hong Kong. There are expensive sit down options, fast food, great Cantonese, Dim Sum, spicy northern Chinese, etc etc. IF you want it here you can find it. It might cost you, though. - Jul 2018


Lots of fast food, McDonald's is everywhere and while I rarely eat it at home, I admit we go there 1-2 a week because it one of the few inexpensive meals in the city. We also hit up the Subway nearby for a good cheap meal. They have fantastic food in this city but it is really expensive. At a local casual burger place, it'll cost you about US$40 for a burger, fries, and a drink. When we go out for a bite, we never get out for less than US$100 for two, it stinks! Since there are so many places, we tend to go with places people confirm as good. Nothing worse than randomly picking a place to have a bad meal that you pay US$200 for. We try to eat at home as often as possible but groceries are also super expensive so while you save a bit eating at home, it's not a huge value. We find ourselves going to places like pret, Subway, McDonald's, other fresh food spots that cost about US$5-15 per person in an effort to save a little cash. - Apr 2016

McDonald's, Burger King, Starbucks, KFC, Subway, are here, but there is so much better to be found. Food is a little pricey, but a lot of things cost more here. - Mar 2012


Everything imaginable. In all price ranges. In general, though, eating out here is a bit pricey. - Mar 2012


Everything from $2 street noodles to many three michelin star places. I've been able to find any type of cuisine I wanted. I've really enjoyed the Vietnamese and South Indian options in particular. - Aug 2010


TONS! Most of the US fast food chains are here, but there are restaurants everywhere, with new ones opening up and old ones closing all the time. Almost every cuisine you can think of in all price ranges. - Jun 2010
