Review
Seventh Son is a one Michelin starred restaurant in Wan Chai, especially known for its barbecued meats, from crispy suckling pig to expertly roasted pork. It stands as one of Hong Kong’s key addresses for traditional Cantonese cooking, rooted in a lineage that traces back to the legendary Fook Lam Moon.
The restaurant was founded by Chef Chui Wai Kwan, the youngest son of Chui Fook Chuen, and the only one to have trained directly under him. He began working in his father’s kitchen at fourteen, learning not only technique but the discipline of selecting the finest ingredients, from premium dried seafood to seasonal produce.
With Seventh Son, he brings decades of experience into a more personal project. The cooking remains firmly grounded in tradition, with a strong emphasis on precision, balance and consistency. Beyond the barbecue, the menu follows a classic repertoire, with carefully prepared seafood and slow cooked dishes that reflect a deep understanding of the cuisine.
