We went to Kong Lung Seafood Restaurant. We first went to the restaurant. Then go next-door to the fish shop and pick your fish/seafood. We picked fish, abalone, prawns, geoduck, ordered it cooked simply (let the fresh ingredients shine through instead ins read of heavily masked sauces). The cab ride to Lei Yue Mun from HK island (we were at... More

This is a tiny fishing village on the New Territories side of Hong Kong. It is a hidden treasure among a city full of sky scrapers! It must be very frequented by tourists because it is full of very nice quality sea food restaurants where you pick your food out of the tank at the front of the restaurant and... More

Loved going here we spent $250AUD for 2 ppl in one night so be wary of what you are buying and make sure you bargain the prices down. More

As we had never visited Lei Yue Muen on all our other trips to Hong Kong we decided to to - after being given the wrong directions when we got out of the MTR we had to get a taxi to find it. What a disappointment - when you visit Cheung Chau and Lamma Islands the fish is reasonably priced... More

Very characteristic place, it gives a taste of the old Hong Kong. Very tasty seafood selected alive from tanks and cooked on the spot for you. Some of the restaurants tend to overcharge tourists so keep an eye on prices, shop around. More

Hong Kong Harbor Night Cruise and Dinner at Lei Yue Mun Seafood Village - Would highly recommend this tour to anyone, great value, great tour leader (Linda). The seafood markets were amazing and the story that goes along with this is good as well. The food at the dinner was excellent, and the service and quality great. Would do it... More

Some of the best sea food in the world... just, you need to go with a local person that frequents those restaurants. If you are not with a local person, then you better be very knowledgeable about sea food, or you will likely get inferior food at higher prices, and your experience will not be as wonderful as ours. Me... More

This is an "off the beaten path" area in Hong Kong, recommended by a local. Restaurants are fronted by large fish tanks full of living sea creatures. It had the largest fish, clams, eels, I've ever seen. The restaurants allow you to choose your own meal, and then cook it for you. Not many people spoke English, so I'd recommend... More
