Best Chinese Restaurant at Causeway Bay for Panfried Buns HONG KONG
While I know this post’s title says ‘where to get the best pan-fried buns in Hong Kong,” this restaurant is so good that it has so many other delicious dishes as well and ranks as one of my favorite restaurants in Hong Kong! The no hassle, family-style restaurant with traditional Zhejiang, Jiangsu, and Shanghai region dishes, and hence its name Jiangsu & Zhejiang or 江浙滬 in Chinese, is located in the bustling streets of Causeway Bay. Next to the mini bus station on Jardine’s Bazaar, we stumbled upon this gem of a place within the first few weeks of moving to Hong Kong after a day-trip to The Peak. We have coming here pretty much every time after doing some shopping (shout out to IKEA!) in Causeway Bay.

Location: 37-39 Jardine's Bazaar, Causeway Bay

What to Order
We’ve been here so many times and tried so many dishes on the menu and honestly, haven’t had a dish that we did not like! Here is a list of our most frequently ordered dishes that you can’t go wrong with! And of course we kick off with what the post’s title mentions: pan-fried buns!
Pan-fried Buns
Hands down the best in town! The buns are done to a perfect crisp at the bottom while the top is still white and fluffy. The meat is tender and juicy, hence making each bite into the bun a perfect combination of soft turn into crunch paired with the umami flavor of the pork fillings. A must order every.single.time!

Pork Stir-Fry with Peas and Peppers
The wokhei (smoky heat infused into a dish, especially in Chinese cuisine) is off the chain on this dish! The pork embodies the spiciness and smokiness from the stirfry and peppers while the peas add an additional flavor profile to the dish. Recommend ordering some extra rice to pair with this one!

Dumplings in Chili Oil
A traditional Sichuan dumpling where the skin is so thin and has the consistency of a wonton with drizzles of chili oil on top, this dumpling is also very well done here and a great appetizer dish to kick off the meal.
Sweet and Sour Pork
I am personally not a fan of anything sweet and sour from any restaurant but this is one of my husband’s favorite dishes to order, especially at Jiangsu & Zhejiang! A well-balanced taste between sweet and sour, each piece of pork is marinated with the flavorful glaze, guaranteeing a burst of flavor in every bite.

Dan Dan Noodles
Not exactly like the traditional dan dan noodle, where it’s a dry noodle dish, the dan dan noodle from Jiangsu & Zhejiang has a soup base and is not as spicy as variations from other restaurants. However, the noodles are cooked to the exact texture that gives it a nice chew!

Jiangsu & Zhejiang is definitely not only an authentic family-style restaurant in Hong Kong but also a very affordable place to grab a delicious meal. Average spending per person ranges around $150 HKD and is a great place to get recharged from a day of shopping in Causeway Bay!
