2. Kung Tak Lam Shanghai Vegetarian Restaurant
Another favorite of ours. Kung Tak Lam Shanghai vegetarian restaurant is also located in Tsim Sha Tsui and is a great place to get authentic Chinese food along with a splendid harbor view.

Moving on to something a little different. Qi-Nine Dragons is a very popular destination with its rooftop bar that is perfect for a chill evening after work.
