The Location: North Point (in Chinese: 北角) is a mixed urban area located in the eastern part of Hong Kong Island, neighboring both Causeway Bay and Quarry Bay, projecting toward Kowloon Bay. North Point offers a lot of eateries and places to shop and is a little bit more Chinese and a little bit less flashily cosmopolitan than Causeway Bay and Wan Chai which are the main tourist drags along the eastern shore of Hong Kong Island’s north coast. North Point might not be on top of the list in Hong K
The Location: North Point (in Chinese: 北角) is a mixed urban area located in the eastern part of Hong Kong Island, neighboring both Causeway Bay and Quarry Bay, projecting toward Kowloon Bay. North Point offers a lot of eateries and places to shop and is a little bit more Chinese and a little bit less flashily cosmopolitan than Causeway Bay and Wan Chai which are the main tourist drags along the eastern shore of Hong Kong Island’s north coast. North Point might not be on top of the list in Hong Kong tourist guides, but it offers loads of hidden gems that make it well worth a visit.
The Place: 潮樂園 is a contemporary family-owned Chinese restaurant located in the heart of North Point with around 5 minutes walking distance from North Point MTR. The restaurant is not located on a main street (here: Wharf Road) and thus a little hidden when you have not been to this part of town before. Wharf Road consists of many eateries – one after another, so the choice is vast.
If you are looking for traditional Chinese cuisine, 潮樂園 is the place to go. It offers what your heart desires as long as you are a carnivore (I would not really send a vegetarian to this place).
潮樂園 displays its meats by hanging them in the window, so can you can judge before you pay them a visit. We all know that Hong Kong residents love their snacks – whether it be during morning time, for lunch, afternoon tea or late night – with queues stretching across the streets for these eateries, there’s no excuse not to ditch the diet and join the line; due to this, 潮樂園 decided to further display food at the restaurant entrance for the walking public to take a peek and thus to take away.
The restaurant itself is fairly small and only offers seating to around 30 people. The lighting is bright, but not to the point where it gets annoying. There was hardly any decoration on the walls, maybe because of the places’ size thus not to make it appear even smaller. The restaurant also provides a toilet which was clean and is to be used by both men and women. What I noted was that parts of the floor within the restaurant was extremely slippery, which made me almost fall twice - hadn’t there been signs, I would definitely have landed on my bottom.
The restaurant is accessible on street level, and there are also (if you are lucky) parking spaces available. In addition to that, when entering the restaurant, there are no steps or other obstacles to overcome, so paying 潮樂園 a visit is even possible for wheelchair users (the washrooms are, however, not wheelchair friendly).The Food & Beverage: When I first entered 潮樂園, I was immediately seated and presented with a cup of hot water, and later asked whether I felt like any other drink. On this occasion, I only went for iced lemon tea, which was nice – neither too acidic, strong, nor to sweet.
The menu is extensive and offers a variety of many different traditional Chinese dishes.
I made a pact before arriving in Asia that I would be adventurous and try all kinds of local cuisine rather than stick with what I already know.
On today’s menu we had a whole range of dishes (excuse me in case I am using the wrong vocabulary) such as oyster congee, fried oyster pancake, duck intestines and tongue, sliced goose, goose wings and legs, pork knuckle, octopus, noodle soup with Chinese yellow eel both sliced and made into fish balls ~ all to be enjoyed along their two home-made and absolutely delicious chili sauces. Not for the faint-hearted!
Please take a look at the pictures that I took.

The Price: I cannot really tell what the menu looks like and whether there would also be an English menu, but no worries, you will be understood ~ no matter what language you speak as long as you are adventurous and not too picky with food and willing to try traditional Chinese cuisine. In terms of price, again, I have no clue, but I am certain that prices are very reasonable.
Bottom-Line: I was very pleased with the food I was presented with today – it all looked fresh and tasted yummy; the atmosphere was very vibrant and cosy; the staff was assertive and very friendly; we even got a brief solo concert by a little guest astonishing us with Christmas Carols! I’d certainly come back here when I have adventurous guests around that would like to find out what real Chinese cuisine is like. Thanks.
