89 Restaurants in Hong Kong: American

Hong Kong’s American restaurants are known to provide big portions and an even bigger punch of flavour. Whether you opt for a heaping plate of Tex-Mex style nachos, a burger the size of your face or some mac and cheese oozing with cheesy goodness, these restaurants are going to fill you up. Don’t feel like you have to eat a massive amount of food when dining at the American restaurants in Hong Kong – just take home a ‘doggy bag’ with your leftovers, just like they do in the US. They taste even better the next day! At some American restaurants in Hong Kong, you’ll find buffalo-style chicken wings, which have a flavour all their own. The orange sauce is buttery, spicy and finger-licking good, and it’s a must try for people who like their food a little bit on the hot side. If you don’t like very much spice, then take barbecue or soy-garlic wings for a less intense alternative.

Nothing screams America quite like pit-smoked barbecue. Don’t be fooled by the imposters out there – if it’s not cooked low and slow, it’s not real American barbecue. The reason barbecued meat is so succulent and juicy is because it has been smoked at low temperatures for anywhere from a few hours to a full day before being ready to serve. One classic American barbecue favourite is baby-back ribs, which are pork ribs marinated then smoked until ready to fall off the bone. Brisket is another delicious one, which is beef that’s been rubbed with a special spice rub and smoked over either charcoal or wood – different woods like oak or mesquite can give the meat different flavours all their own. At the end, the meat is usually so tender and succulent that it can be cut with a fork alone. But don’t just take our word for it, you’ll have to check out one of Hong Kong’s American restaurants to try it for yourself.
