Mist

Don’t go at lunchtime as it gets pretty packed, but you’ll find the die-hard fans queuing up for a good reason – their noodles are worth the wait.

Yachiyo Ramen
G/F, 8 On Wo Lane, Central
Tucked away in between Sheung Wan and Gough Street, Yachiyo Ramen serves a mean bowl of noodles in a small and intimate setting. Sit at the bar and watch the noodle masters work their magic, timing the noodles perfectly and shaking out the boiling water straight onto the floor.

Noodle House Ippei-An
Shop 11, 2/F, Miramar Shopping Centre, 132 Nathan Road, Tsim Sha Tsui – 2375 5330
A flavourful broth and chewy noodles with just the right amount of bite makes this ramen specialist worth visiting if you’re in Tsim Sha Tsui.
