Tempura Nagaoka

Fukuoka’s famous tempura specialist, Tempura Nagaoka, has launched its first Hong Kong venue in Causeway Bay’s Lee Gardens. Like its Japanese counterparts, this outpost features a bar table where diners can watch chefs expertly deep-fry each piece of tempura, enjoying a relaxed dining format reminiscent of Fukuoka’s iconic street stalls, where patrons huddle together in small eateries. The restaurant uses ingredients flown in daily from Japan to recreate its signature dishes, including sea urchin pudding, A4 Wagyu tempura, scallop tempura, and tangerine and red bean-filled tempura with mochi. For mains, guests can delight in cauldron-fired rice pots topped with Wagyu beef or matsutake crab with salmon. If you’re unsure what to order, Tempura Nagaoka offers a tempura omakase menu ($688), or diners can opt for a la carte tempura items starting from $18.
