With not long left before the end of the year, it’s time to look back over all the many, many restaurants I have reviewed this year and try to find the top 10. I think – if this is even possible – that this year I have reviewed more restaurants than last year and the year before that, which makes narrowing down the top 10 an even more difficult feat.
That is why this year I have compiled a shortlist of 20 restaurants, which I will then whittle down to the final 10.
Here’s where I need your help. This year, as well as my final Top 10 restaurants of 2014, I will also include a section for “People’s Choice”. So please have a read through the list below and, in the comments section at the bottom of the post, mention which of these restaurants is your absolute favourite; which one of these do you think should 100% make the Top 10 list? I’m looking forward to reading your thoughts!
Here’s the shortlist with links to my review of each one:
Votes will be counted up to and including Tuesday 23rd December. Any votes submitted after that date will not be counted. The final list of Top 10 Restaurants that I have reviewed in 2014 will be announced at the start of 2015. It’s not going to be easy to choose!
my best : cocotte
coming all the way from Singapore for Cocotte!
Such a tough call with so many great places but Le Bistro Winebeast is the perfect combination of delicious food and a fabulous wine list to match!
Go Chinooooo!
I only have tried 2 from the list, I am far behind hehe, but I would say Ho Lee Fook and Fofo are good choices. I should try to catch up with the others
Very difficult, but I’d say Aberdeen Street Social.
From this list I think Missy Ho’s is top! Keep up the great writing Ale.
Aberdeen Street Social!

Le Bistro Winebeast is a favourite of mine
Mrs. Pound!
Tough choice between all of those great places, but I choose Missy Ho’s. Delicious food, great staff and a crazy, fun atmosphere – and all at a reasonable price.
Aberdeen street social definitely!
Aberdeen street social definitely
There’s no way Mott32 and Ho Lee Fook can NOT be on the list! They just did some new and exciting things for Cantonese / other Chinese food this year.
121bc and
Aberdeen Street Social
Aberdeen Street Social!
Mrs. Pound no doubt!!! Love the chicken meatballs, razor clams and beef rendang poutine
Must be Cocotte !!!

Chino takes the cake. Without a doubt, as there is literally nothing like it in HK.

Loved the chicken-egg tostada, Chino definitely gets my vote!
Chino. Awesome food and the best service in HK.
CHINO!!!!
a bunch of them are good, but Chino would be the best in my opinion
CHINO! yo serious good eatin there, the door girl is mad fly and that soup is spicy and good
While each of these new restaurants offers up some delicous food and a pleasant dining experience, Chino has brought something completely new and fresh to HK that has never been seen before. The manager Ben was extremely hospitable, and I will become a regular there just to see him!
My vote is for Chino. Their innovative blend of Japanese and Mexican cuisine is completely fresh and so exciting!
Chino wooohoooo
Chino!
Has to be Chino.
CHINO!!! Omg!!
Hands down, Chino is the best restaurant!
Chino fooorrrr sure!!!!
Chino hands down!!!!!
Chino!!
Go chino!
I LOVE CHINO!!!!

100% Cocotte
Cocotte !!
Cocotte, no doubt!
Cocotte of course ! Best food best service
Cocotte for sure !
Cocotte at the top of my list
100 % Cocotte
COCOTTE!!!!!!!!!!
No brainier Cocotte!
Chino and 121BC are clear cut favourites for me, and I also really liked Ho Lee Fook! Those 3 places would get my vote
Chino.
Who doesn’t like fish taco?
Every dish I had at Chino was absolutely amazing, especially the family style DIY pork tacos!! the meat was so tender and flavourful! I would be very surprised if Chino was not named to the top 10 best new restaurants.
I want to eat at CHINO again!!! not only was the food amazing, but the art was so cool!
Cocotte
I like the atmosphere and freindly attitude…Long life to Cocotte
CHINO – Those fish tacos…. Cool artwork too!
Definitely cocotte lunch or dinner ! Always a great meal
Chino all the way.
Cocotte Cocotte Cocotte !
Chino!!
Ah! This is so difficult. I really love 121BC, Chino, and Ho Lee Fook. But if you twist my arm, it would have to be Chino.
CHINO
Even though it was still in the soft opening stage, Chino was one of the most memorable meals I’ve ever had. Who would’ve thought Mexican and Japanese fusion could be so incredibly tasty, they definitely get my vote!
I live in Kennedy town, and am so excited a place like Chino opened up around the corner. Will become my new neighbourhood hangout for sure, the scallop & uni tostada was one of the tastiest things I’ve ever eaten, recommend it for everyone.
Cocotte! definitely the best for a real affordable meal in a casual but chic atmosphere. Cannot get that passion for tacos…
Cocotte, no doubt.
Aaron De La Cruz artwork in CHINO! loved that I got to try this new place while it was still in soft opening, I’ve had a craving for that spicy corn since trying…
close call for me, but I think Chino just barely edges out 121BC for best new spot of the year. Also can’t wait to try Carbone…
I loved Chino, and can’t wait to go back with a bigger group so I can try the big family style pork tacos, it looked AMAZING
CHINO CHINO CHINO YEAH!!!
I still have dreams about the chicken and egg taco…CHINO!
CHINO!!!
I was so excited when I heard there was a new place opening up in Kennedy Town with a former Nobu chef, and after trying the food there, it is for sure one of my favourite restaurants in the city. Can’t wait for them to get their liquor license so I can try some tasty cocktails with my meal
Chino
~ COCOTTE ~ for the beef tartare and the handsome manager
Definitely cocotte
Carbone
Ho Lee Fook
Mexican food with uni, need I say more? CHINO!!

hhmmm this is a tough one…definitely between chino, ho lee fook and mott 32, just because they changed it up and did something new that HK hadn’t seen before.
my vote would be for chino
love me a japanese fiesta!! CHINO WOO
Chino because it is a great place to go with several friends and try many new dishes, had a blast when I went
Depends, if I am looking for a great evening with friends, then I will choose Chino
If I am taking out someone on a date, then I would go with 121BC
Hope that helps!
