Soul Food

Hong Kong


This Bangkok import has nailed its own spin on classic Thai cuisine with satisfying dishes like soft-shell-crab pad Thai, southern Thai samosas and creamy coconut ice cream with salted caramel and crunchy peanuts. The dimly lit interior is pared back and grown up, with a single row of seating; book ahead for dinner. To get here, take the Central–Mid-Levels Escalator.
