Where do you recommend as good places to eat in Hong Kong

Being such a big city, of course no one truly knows what the best food joints are in Hong Kong.

still though... would appreciate some food restaurants/joints people recommend as being really good... also mention what from the menu was so good to order/eat

I'm interested too, since I am now here for a brief stay. Looking for interesting not-too-expensive joints near Pacific Place.

Thanks!

For good cheap food in Admiralty, try Crystal Jade (Shanghaighese) and Ippudo (ramen). They're both in Queensway Plaza.

Found on a cursory search of the HK/Macau forum for "food":

http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/hong-...u-yuk-hkg.html

http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/hong-...9-dim-sum.html

http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/hong-...place-xlb.html

http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/hong-...s-buffets.html

That plus OpenRice should give you things to start with. Given a vague question that doesn't specify things like what kind of food, what price point you're looking for, where in HK you might find convenient, this is probably as good a starting point as any.

How much better is this than something like Din Tai Fung?

The question is far too vague. HK has thousands of great places to eat, which people do indeed know about, so more specificity is required.
I find Open Rice to be useful for information but I would take the ratings with a pinch of salt. They rejected some reviews I submitted which were negative, without challenging my positive ones, so I concluded that there was some bias in the vetting process. I think the Michelin guide, though far less comprehensive, is a better option in terms of objective recommendations.

On top of my head (being hungry at 1am 8000mi away from home):

Australia dairy hands down!

For a more 'proper' experience, I've never grown tired of The Steak House @ ICHK and Bo Innovation That being said there are some places that I have yet to explore, such as Amber and the 3* sushi place which my friends have very positive reviews about.

Afternoon tea @ The Pen, while touristy, is something worth doing too.

I've done Lung King Heen for dinner as opposed to the dim sum lunch, but their dinner is so much better than Din Tai Fung in Causeway Bay. I've always felt that Din Tai Fung, while good, is a little overrated

XLB, no matter how good, isn't really a dinner food.
