Ming Court (Mong Kok) Hong Kong

Ming Court sits on Level 6 of the Cordis at 555 Shanghai Street. It is steps away from the Mong Kok Computer Centre and the heavy foot traffic of the Fa Yuen Street Market. The restaurant holds a Michelin star.

The dining room runs smart and elegant, but its value lies in its friction with the surrounding district. While the streets outside are defined by the constant, frenetic density of the market, this room offers a deliberate, quiet stillness. It is a more controlled experience than the neighbourhood’s many hawker stalls or chaotic noodle shops. If you find yourself overwhelmed by the pace of Mong Kok, the contemporary Chinese menu provides a necessary retreat that few of its neighbours can match.
