Curry Up
We heard Japanese fashion icon Nigo’s viral restaurant Curry Up is landing in Hong Kong, and we can’t wait to see what all the hype is about! The Tokyo hotspot boasts an A-list clientele – including the likes of Pharrell Williams and Park Seo Joon – so you can imagine our expectations are high. The Hong Kong branch opening in Repulse Bay Village (RBV) next month will stay true to its roots and feature the franchise’s signature curry dishes.

New Restaurant Openings You Might Have Missed
Minato
While this innovative new dining concept is inspired by its namesake “Minato”, which in Japanese refers to the point where the sea and land meet, it also brings together three distinct strands of Japanese cuisine: Teppanyaki, Omakase and Kaiseki (each one divided into different sections of the restaurant). The thoughtfully designed space is divided into quiet private spaces and more energetic live cooking stations, allowing diners to experience a range of dynamic gastronomic experiences, whichever you opt for, the high ceiling and calming decor takes you a world away from the city’s hustle!
Opening hours: Monday to Sunday, 12pm to 3pm and 6pm to 10:30pm
Minato, Shop G4-G6, G/F, Great Eagle Centre, 23 Harbour Road, Wan Chai, Hong Kong, 2345 0663, www.instagram.com/minato.wanchai
