Man Ho Chinese Restaurant (万豪金殿)

OVERVIEW

Man Ho Chinese Restaurant is a Michelin-starred Cantonese stalwart located on the 3rd floor of the JW Marriott Hotel in Admiralty . Executive Chinese chef Jayson Tang and dim sum head chef Leung Wing-pan lead the team at this spacious restaurant, which has earned a devoted following for its authentic Cantonese fare and serene ambience .

The dining room recalls a serene Chinese garden, with a palette of natural wood tones complemented by traditional flower and water motifs, evoking the grandeur of bygone banquet halls . The atmosphere is calm and refined, making it suitable for both business lunches and family gatherings.

Must-try dishes include the steamed minced grouper and coriander dumpling, the fresh fish soup with fish maw and assorted seafood, the steamed egg with flathead lobster, dried fish roe, and saffron, and the famous deep-fried chicken wing stuffed with chicken liver and barbecued pork . The restaurant also offers an extensive tea list sourced locally and a wide range of quality wines from around the world .

THE LUNCH DEAL

Man Ho offers an excellent value lunch, with an average price per head of HK$598 (plus 10% service charge) . The lunch menu features a wide selection of homemade dim sum, live seafood, and exquisite specialties .

The dim sum is particularly celebrated, with standouts including the steamed minced grouper and coriander dumpling, baked whole South African dried abalone puff with wild mushrooms, and the steamed egg with lobster fillets in saffron sauce with crab meat and crab roe . The restaurant is also known for its braised crab claw with bamboo pith in chicken stock and shredded duck meat soup .

WHY IT’S A GREAT DEAL

At HK$598 per person for lunch, Man Ho offers exceptional value for a Michelin-starred Cantonese restaurant in Admiralty.
