Get ready for the next K wave to hit Hong Kong’s palates. Hongkongers have long shown their love for K-pop and K-dramas, and the city’s Hansik Goo attaining a Michelin star further spotlit our collective hunger for all things Korean.

Panelled floor-to-ceiling windows provide a stunning panoramic view of the city while ethereal spherical filament light bulbs dot the ceiling like a starry night. A stunning ambience to prepare you for the stellar menu.

Plus, the acorn noodles’ chewy bite paired well with the black truffles and sauce.
