Ming Court (Mong Kok) Hong Kong

Ming Court sits on the sixth floor of the Cordis hotel on Shanghai Street, putting you steps away from the Mong Kok Computer Centre. The dining room holds a Michelin star.

The restaurant serves contemporary Chinese cuisine in a room that runs dressier than its neighbours, which are largely shaped by the bustle of the nearby Fa Yuen Street Market. While Mong Kok is rarely associated with quiet, the dining room provides a buffer against the neon-lit density of the streets below. You choose this table for the contrast; it offers a formal alternative to the street-side stalls that crowd the immediate area.
