Thai cuisine is among the most popular in the world, with aromatic spices that take the palette on a culinary adventure from sweet to bitter, sour to salty – all of which combine to give you that distinctive taste of Thailand. With the dining culture in Hong Kong being an integral part of the city’s identity, we’ve compiled a list of some of the best Thai restaurants in Hong Kong to satisfy your cravings – some of which offer delivery and take-away services for you to eat in the comfort and safety of your home.

Recommended by the Michelin guide in Hong Kong and Macao, Samsen is a Thai street food concept by celebrated chef Adam Cliff aimed at “bringing bold flavors from Thailand to bowls in Hong Kong.” While Wagyu beef is a major feature of their menu, starring in most of their dishes – from stir-fries to their notable Wagyu Beef Boat Noodles – Samsen also offers several vegetarian options as well as vegetarian preparations of their classic dishes. 

Samsen’s original branch is in Wan Chai and is best known for their signature boat noodles. Their Sheung Wan branch opened in January and expands on the restaurant’s food and drink options – with Khao Soi, the curried beef with fresh egg noodles, stepping in as their main noodle dish. The restaurants are open for lunch from 12 – 3 p.m. and dinner from 6:30 – 11 p.m. daily, with both dine-in and take-away services.
