"As one of the largest and busiest malls in Hong Kong, Harbour City seems an unlikely spot for one of Hong Kong’s best restaurants. But walk through HAKU’s curtain and you’re instantly transported to a calm, dimly-lit oasis. A contemporary izakaya (Japanese gastropub) concept from culinary star Hideaki Matsuo, who runs three-Michelin-starred Kashiwaya in Osaka, the Japanese space includes a handful of intimate tables and about 12 coveted seats at the chef’s table on the left. The best way to experience HAKU’s Japanese-inspired cuisine is with the chef’s eight-course tasting menu ($175 per person), which changes with the seasons." - Kate Springer
