What Are the Top Seafood Restaurants in Hong Kong?

Seafood restaurants in Hong Kong take group bookings for birthdays, family dinners, team meals and year-end parties, priced per person on a set menu or by weight for live seafood. Quotes are before the customary service charge, and Hong Kong has no sales tax or VAT.

  • Sai Kung waterfront seafood restaurants. Guests pick live fish and shellfish from tanks or ask the chef to choose, as at Loaf On, a Michelin-listed fish and seafood restaurant.
  • Hotel seafood set dinners. A per-person menu, sometimes with a minimum number of guests, such as the seafood set dinner at Above & Beyond in Hotel ICON.
  • Market-to-table seafood restaurants. Guests buy fish by weight at the market in Lei Yue Mun, then a nearby kitchen team cooks it for a fee.
  • Chinese seafood restaurants. Live-tank fish, prawns and crab on banquet menus, which sit among Chinese restaurants in Hong Kong.
  • Private dining rooms. A closed room for the group, booked on a set menu or a minimum charge set by the host.

Guide to Seafood Restaurants in Hong Kong

Seafood restaurants in Hong Kong take group bookings as a tank-side dinner in Sai Kung, a hotel set menu, a market-to-table meal in Lei Yue Mun or a private room. Live seafood is priced by weight, and set menus are priced per person.

Choose the format first, then the area and the room. A tank-side table suits a relaxed family meal, and a hotel room suits a team dinner with speeches.

Groups that want steak beside the seafood can compare steakhouses in Hong Kong for the meat course.

Seafood Restaurants With Private Rooms in Hong Kong: Closed Tables for Group Dinners

  • Private room: a closed room for the group, booked on a set menu or a minimum charge from the host.
  • Hotel dining rooms: set seafood dinners per person, sometimes with a minimum number of guests.
  • Round tables: shared platters of fish, prawns and shellfish in the middle.
  • Speeches and birthdays: check for a microphone, a cake slot and when the room closes.
  • Specialty dishes: some need ordering in advance, so agree the menu when you book.

Hosts after a smaller closed table can also compare private kitchen venues in Hong Kong for a seafood menu.

Sai Kung Seafood Restaurants in Hong Kong: Tank Picks, Pre-Orders and the Trip Out

  • Tank picks: guests choose live fish and shellfish, or ask the chef to choose for the table.
  • Harbour catch: some Sai Kung restaurants cook fish that guests buy from the boats, so ask first.
  • Pre-orders: ask which dishes need notice, and book ahead for a private room or the alfresco area.
  • Sea urchin season: March to May, with reservations essential and limited supply.
  • Getting there: no MTR station goes direct, so allow time for a minibus or bus from Hang Hau or Choi Hung.

Market-to-Table Seafood in Hong Kong: Buying by Weight and Paying the Cooking Fee

  • Buy by weight: agree the price per catty or per kilo at the stall before the fish is bagged.
  • Cooking fee: the restaurant adds a fee to cook it, so ask if it's per person or per dish.
  • Cooking style: steamed, deep-fried or in black bean sauce, chosen with the chef.
  • Getting there: Lei Yue Mun is reached by MTR to Yau Tong, then a short walk or taxi.
  • Allergies: list shellfish allergies early and order a fish or meat dish for those guests.
