Mott 32's Chinese Cuisine Shines in the Dark in Hong Kong: Review
In a foodie city, it's tough to pick the restaurant — the one that holds a global reputation, that tourists flock to and that industry execs associate with Hong Kong. I might start a firestorm by saying this, but perhaps the one that comes closest is Mott 32.
Founded in 2014 at the height of Hong Kong's boom times, the restaurant — located in a former bank vault and designed by Joyce Wang — has retained its magic. It's since become a culinary ambassador for Hong Kong, expanding to eight other locations as far afield as Dubai, Las Vegas and Toronto, and riding a wave of awards and accolades. It's not hard to see why: The food is familiar, delicious Chinese fare but with a unique twist; the service is prompt and well-oiled; and the interior design is immersive — a mix between a film noir set and restaurant.
