After two long months since finding out Samsen was launching a third location in Hong Kong, the wait is finally over! The popular Thai eatery has put the finishing touches together and opened its doors on On Lan Street. Here’s all the important info you need to know so you can be one of Samsen Central’s first diners.
When is Samsen’s Central location opening?
The Thai venue is open for dinner from October 23 onwards and will be open for lunch by the end of October.
Where is Samsen opening in Central?
You can find Samsen's newest location on the ground floor at 18 On Lan Street in Central.
What will be on Samsen’s Central menu?
Much like its sister locations in Wan Chai and Sheung Wan, Samsen Central will offer branch-exclusive dishes. Diners can enjoy plates like crispy omelette with baby oysters and spring onions, stir-fried live flower clams with Samsen chilli jam, wok-fried rice with pork and Chinese olives, as well as stir-fried assorted seafood with curry. Customers will also be able to slurp on Samsen Wan Chai’s signature Wagyu beef boat noodles at the new location.
Additionally, the Central branch’s menu offers a selection of refreshing cocktails such as lychee and coconut gimlet, Chiang Mai sour, and the Sap-pa-rot Margarita, along with a longer list of extensive wines and Champagne.
What is Samsen and why is it popular?
Samsen serves up authentic Thai dishes and transports diners to the streets of Bangkok with its colourful decor and buzzing atmosphere. Every year since opening its Wan Chai location in 2016, the restaurant has consistently been awarded the Michelin Bib Gourmand. In 2019, the Thai restaurant opened a new, and much bigger, location in Sheung Wan, where exclusive dishes like khao soi, a Northern Thai-style curry can be found on the menu.
