Each of these 6 rooms holds a position on our Asia ranking for the current season. Editors visit unannounced, more than once where a room has changed hands or rewritten its menu, and score on drinks, hospitality, consistency, and sense of place. We take no fee for inclusion, so nothing on this page can be bought. Hong Kong rooms we rate but have not ranked are published as profiles without a list position.
