Pro Tips

  1. 1.Take the 30-minute ferry from Aberdeen or Central (kids love the boat ride!) and plan your meal around the ferry schedule to avoid long waits for the return trip.
  2. 2.Arrive early for lunch (around 11:30am) or dinner (5:30pm) to secure waterfront seating with the best harbor views before tour groups arrive.
  3. 3.Let kids choose a live fish or crab from the outdoor tanks, which makes the meal more interactive and exciting for young diners.
  4. 4.Bring cash in Hong Kong dollars as some smaller Lamma Island establishments have limited card payment options, though this restaurant likely accepts both.
  5. 5.Combine your meal with a family-friendly 30-minute walk along the waterfront path to Yung Shue Wan village for a full afternoon adventure.

Best Time to Visit

Weekday lunchtimes or early weekend dinners (before 6pm) offer the most relaxed experience with fewer crowds. Visit during fall (September to November) for pleasant weather and comfortable outdoor dining temperatures, avoiding Hong Kong's humid summer months.

What to Know

Located in Sok Kwu Wan fishing village, accessible only by ferry (no cars on Lamma Island), so factor in 30-45 minutes travel time each way from Hong Kong Island. The restaurant is moderately priced ($$) with most family meals ranging from 400-800 HKD depending on seafood selections.

Seasonal Notes

Open year-round, but most enjoyable during cooler months (October through April) when outdoor waterfront dining is comfortable. Summer months (June to August) can be hot and humid. Check ferry schedules during typhoon season (May to November) as service may be disrupted during severe weather.
