The restaurant reached dizzying heights back in 2011 when it became the first non-hotel restaurant in Hong Kong to receive three Michelin stars.

The chefs at Sun Tung Lok Chinese Cuisine work round the clock to innovate new dishes and create fabulous fusion cuisine. We’re also huge fans of the décor of the restaurant; the cozy seating and soft lighting really add an elegant atmosphere to the place.
