Sham Shui Po’s Tim Fook is a grab-and-go takeout spot that specialises in Hong Kong style burgers. Try the Tim Fook Big Mac, which comes with a heavy beef patty, cheese, a thick slice of tomato and lettuce. 

Cutting down on red meat? Their chicken burger, which includes a large pan-fried chicken steak with an option of thousand island dressing is a worthy substitute.

Lee Hou Fuk Fast Food Shop doesn’t have any fancy interiors—with folding tables and plastic stools, the cha chaan teng still manages to draw crowds from their satay beef French toast and deep-fried pork chop stuffed with cheese. 

The pork chop burger is served piping hot straight from the fryer to ensure that the cheese inside will be melted when you take your first bite. Pair this with a classic Hong Kong milk tea for a true Hong Kong burger experience.

Opened in 2015, Kabo Burger is a Hong Kong-style burger spot that’s grown in popularity in the last few years. More recently, the restaurant moved to a new Tsim Sha Tsui outlet with spacious seatings while still serving their signature Hong Kong-style burgers. Try their popular black truffle cheeseburger, which comes with generous amounts of truffle sauce over melted cheese, beef patty and veggies. For sides, skip the regular fries and opt for the fried siu mai or the criss-cross fries instead.
