As the new year begins, Hong Kong’s dining scene sets the tone for January with a wave of thoughtful, character-driven openings. This month’s selection spans bold flavours and refined craftsmanship, offering fresh reasons to explore the city.

From Tsukemen Gyorai’s cult Kumamoto ramen landing in Wan Chai, to Pedder Chinese reinterpreting Cantonese heritage in the historic Pedder Building, tradition meets modernity at every turn. Yurt opens a new chapter with Central Asian nomadic cuisine in SoHo, while Matchali’s Lyndhurst Terrace outpost offers a calm, matcha-led pause in Central. Rounding out the month, Migas returns to H Queen’s with vibrant Mediterranean energy.

Whether you’re craving depth, discovery, or a change of pace, these are the new places shaping Hong Kong’s January dining mood.
