Honbo — Team Sassy favourite with a new location in Central
With several members on Team Sassy as self-proclaimed Honbo lovers, we were thrilled to hear the burger hotspot was opening a new location in the heart of Central! You can expect everything at this “grassroots burger restaurant” to be sourced from the very best local spots, with juicy beef and perfectly crisped buns. Our Managing Editor’s go-to is the Honbo BB, a 1-patty smash burger that’s surprisingly good even when cooked to well-done. While it’s not the most affordable place, the Impossible burger is a great option (and not just for the vegetarians!), while the loaded cheese fries are the best in town!
Price: Burgers range from $88 to $178
Opening hours: Sunday to Thursday, 12pm to 9:30pm; Friday to Saturday, 12pm to 10:30pm
Vegetarian or vegan options available? Yes

Mirror Burger — Hidden gem loved by carnivores and vegetarians alike
We have it on good authority (by a local chef, no less!) that Mirror is one of the best places in Hong Kong to satiate that burger craving.

There are several customisation options at this hole-in-the-wall spot — on a carb-free diet? Go Bunless! — and it’s all super affordable, especially with combo deals that are great value for money.
Price: Burgers range from $58 to $99
Opening hours: SYP — 11am to 12:30am; NP — 11am to 10pm
