So, what is the most convenient way of getting to these 4 great seafood places and enjoy your delicious seafood meal? Have you ever thought of getting there by a delicate and luxury yacht? You will not only save time from commuting, but also get to enjoy the scenery of the Victoria Harbor! You will not be able to get this experience if you choose other transportation methods!
Best Seafood Restaurants in Lamma Island
Lamma Island is undeniably one of Hong Kong’s best places for vacation. Lamma Island is not only a famous tourist attraction, but also Hongkongers’ favorite weekend-getaway spot. Despite its chill and relaxing environment, Lamma Island is also really famous for their seafood. Yet, Lamma Island has so many seafood restaurants, how could I choose the best one out of them all? Don’t worry, we got you covered! Take a look at our recommendations before making your call!
1. Rainbow Seafood Restaurant
Rainbow Seafood Restaurant was established since 1984, and it has always been one of the most famous seafood restaurants in Lamma Island. Rainbow Seafood Restaurant has their own fish tanks outside of their restaurant to ensure the quality of their seafood. Thus, customers can pick their favorite seafood and decide how the seafood will be cooked by themselves!
Signature Dishes
If you are indecisive as to what you should order, try ordering their signature dishes! Their award-winning Fried Lobster with Butter Sauce is definitely a must-try! This dish maintains the freshest texture of the lobster meat itself and filled with the richest taste of first-class cheese and butter. The other must-try dish will be their Fried Crab with Honey and Pepper. It is cooked with their special recipe by using honey and black pepper as seasoning, so as to allow the crab to give out an even fresher taste.
2. Wai Kee Seafood Restaurant
If Rainbow Seafood Restaurant is not your thing, try Wai Kee! Just like Rainbow Seafood Restaurant, Wai Kee is also really famous for their fresh seafood. If you ask any Lamma Island resident, I am pretty sure they know what is Wai Kee. Wai Kee is famous for having their genuine goods at a fair price, so you will definitely get a nice meal there!
Signature Dishes
Other than their seafood dishes, Wai Kee is really famous for their braised pork as well! Their braised pork is not tender at all, and tastes really good! Definitely worth a try!
Without doubt, their seafood dishes are really delicious as well! In my opinion, prawns fried with soy sauce is also a must-try!
Just by looking at the recommendations makes me want to visit again! However, as I have said before, Lamma Island is pretty far from the urban area. So, how could you get to Lamma Island via public transportation?
Lamma Island Transportation Guide
To my understanding, there is only one way of getting to Lamma Island, which is taking the star ferry. The star ferry comes pretty often, so you won’t have to wait too long at the pier. However, to ensure you will not miss the ferry, you can take a look at the ferry schedule! Click here for more information
Although taking the ferry is not a bad choice, your trip will not be flexible as you have to accommodate the ferry schedule. Then what is the best alternative to star ferry? Have you ever thought of getting there by a delicate and luxury yacht? You will not only be able to decide when and where to get on/off, but also get to enjoy the scenery of the Victoria Harbor!
Best Way of Going to Lamma Island
If you are going to Lamma Island by yacht, the route will be: get on board at your chosen pier → Victoria Harbor → drive to Yung Shue Wan / Sok Kwu Wan (at your choice). My advice is to first decide which seafood restaurant do you want to go, then decide where to get off. In this way, you will be able to maximize the convenience you get from this boat trip. For example, Wai Kee’s location is right across Sok Kwu Wan Public Pier. Thus, if you get off there, then you will not have to worry where is it.
To my understanding, a lot of yachts are able to do this route. Moreover, most of them will not charge you extra while allowing you to choose where to get on/off. Thus, it is really convenient! If you are not sure which yacht suits you the most, take a look at our recommendations!

Best Seafood Restaurant in Lei Yue Mun
If Lamma Island is not your thing, maybe Lei Yue Mun will be! Lei Yue Mun used to be a fishing village. Since 1960s, more and more restaurants were established, Lei Yue Mun then developed into the famous seafood bazaar. Nowadays, Lei Yue Mun has numerous seafood restaurants, and most of them are famous for their freshness!
1. New Hing Lung Seafood Restaurant
One of the best restaurants in Lei Yue Mun is definitely New Hing Lung. All you need to do is to choose your favorite seafood at Lei Yue Mun fish market. Then, bring them to the restaurant and decide how you want them to be cooked. Finally, just sit back, relax and wait for your delicious seafood meal!
Signature Dishes
Not sure what to order at New Hing Lung? Try ordering their Steamed Razor Clam with Garlic over Bean Vermicelli! Definitely worth a try!
Not a fan of razor clam? How about Supreme Soup Lobster Noodles? The noodles absorbed all the sauces of the lobsters, making it tastes extra delicious!
2. Sea King Garden Restaurant
If you do not find New Hing Lung attractive, try Sea King Garden! Sea King Garden has a much classier interior than the previous ones, in which brings the whole dining experience to another level.
Signature Dishes
This whole dining experience will be incomplete without their signature seafood dishes. In my opinion, their Stir-fried Razor Clam with Garlic Black Bean Sauce is a must-try!
Don’t forget about their Steamed Scallops with Minced Garlic and Glass Noodles! The scallops are huge and the glass noodles absorbed all the essence! Definitely a must-try!
My mouth is watering just by looking at the pictures! However, how can I get to Lei Yue Mun by myself?
