Where Hong Kong's chefs, critics and people who'd know actually eat

Which restaurants in Hong Kong do chefs, critics and people who'd know recommend most? Neighborhood (8), Seventh Son Restaurant (6), Big JJ Seafood Hotpot (5), Amber (4), Genuine Lamma Hilton Fishing Village Restaurant (4), Hidden (4) and 3 more — the number is how many named people have recommended each one on the record.

Every recommendation here came out of somebody's mouth on the record — a chef naming a restaurant they don't own, a critic on their day off, a regular who has been going for years. We collect them, attribute them, and link the source so you can hear it yourself.
