Hong Kong

Hong Kong's burger scene mixes chef-led bars, home-grown smash-burger shops and local chains, with ideas from Japanese and Hong Kong cooking turning up in beef tongue, Sichuan-spiced and pineapple-bun burgers. Many spots open late, and prices run from low-cost takeaway counters to Wagyu specialists.

Burger Circus smashes USDA Prime patties on Hollywood Road, Honbo has served smash burgers in Wan Chai since 2017, Flat Iron Burger brings Black Angus smash burgers to Harbour City, Kabo Burger is known for sous-vide patties and Big Pink Burgers grinds beef by hand in Sai Kung.

The guide covers three areas: Central, Sheung Wan and Western; Wan Chai and Causeway Bay; and Kowloon and the New Territories. Beef & Liberty in Stanley Plaza, which grinds grass-fed Tasmanian beef daily, is listed at city level on the south side of the island.
