Best places to eat in Tai Wai

Just a short four-minute walk from Tai Wai Station, Dear Coffee and Bakery is a quirky, unassuming cafe that offers an assortment of delightful baked goods and exquisite coffee. Try one of their all-day breakfast dishes or go for the popular mochi-stuffed bagels, purple potato bun, or the salted caramel cinnamon roll. Top off your meal with a cup of latte served in a beautiful vintage cup. If you do decide to visit, know that there’s almost always a queue outside the cafe, so be sure to get there early and avoid rush hours!

If you’re a fan of Japanese cuisine, FuRyu Izakaya is a fantastic place to stop and grab a bite. Serving up fresh Japanese food, the restaurant has a menu packed with udon, skewers, sushi, and a variety of fresh seafood. This small and cosy restaurant is located on Third Street in Tai Wai and is one of those places you’re bound to miss if you don’t know what you’re looking for. Their affordable lunch deal is incredibly popular with locals and with meals available for under $80, their dinner menu is just as much of a hit. Make sure to call up and book a table if you’re looking to give it a try as the restaurant is small and seats get filled quickly. To top things off, you can even order their food for delivery via UberEats or Deliveroo if dining in isn’t what you’re feeling right now!

In the mood for some classic, well-stuffed dumplings? Check out Grandma’s Dumplings for a hearty dose of Beijing cuisine. Their spicy Sichuan dishes are popular but of course, the dumplings are what we’re here for. Thinly wrapped and tender, these dumplings are stuffed with a perfect balance of meat and vegetables. Enjoy them fried crispy or steamed and served with a delicious broth. You can even buy them raw and do the cooking yourself!

Tai Wai has an abundance of local Asian restaurants and cha chaan tengs where you can have a quick and filling meal with no issue. But, for those of you looking to indulge in western fare, we recommend going to M3 Italian. This cosy, family-friendly restaurant holds its expertise in Italian-style fusion cuisine, featuring all kinds of quality dishes from steak to seafood. Try their grilled rib-eye steak or freshly shucked oysters, and you won’t be disappointed.
