Where to Eat in Wan Chai - Restaurants, Bars and Food

Wan Chai is both a residential and a commercial district, and that is why its food ranges so far β€” from local snack shops and Hong Kong-style small cafΓ©s serving wonton noodles or fried rice, through international cuisine, to five-star hotel dining.

For evening drinking, the bars cluster around Lockhart Road and Luard Road, busy into the night. For everyday eating, look for the local "tea restaurants".

Cha chaan teng: the local way to eat

A cha chaan teng (茢逐廳) is a Hong Kong-style "tea restaurant". They serve an economical menu of local food, plus Hong Kong interpretations of Western dishes β€” the cheapest and most characterful way to eat in the district, and the best first stop if you are new to Hong Kong.
