We return to the first 3 Michelin star Chinese Restaurant in the world. Upscale IFC Shopping Center – Glitzier than any USA Mall Lung King Heen (View of the Dragon) is a top rated Michelin restaurant in Hong Kong, with 2 stars now, making this like the French Laundry of Hong Kong. Using your iPhone in Hong Kong with eSIMs helps you stay connected. Controversy erupted after the decision, with some in Hong Kong questioning the ratings. Over the years, they have continued to make believers, as other restaurants have come and gone from the 3 star list. Tang court is the only Chinese restaurant with 3 stars in 2025.

Shorter menu, no eggless or vegan pasta. Picks: INSALATA VERDE ($19) Market Lettuces, Preserved Lemon, Soft Herbs is a big salad with large leaves.
