Chachawan

#hkonbudget a vibrant and energetic eatery that brings the bold, fiery flavors of Thailand’s Isaan region to the heart of Sheung Wan. With its rustic wooden interiors, open kitchen, and buzzing atmosphere, the restaurant feels more like a lively Bangkok street-side joint than a typical Hong Kong dining spot.
