Social Place
Welcome to Social Place, a vibrant haven for those craving Chinese cuisine nestled in the heart of Hong Kong at 2/F The L. Place, 139 Queen's Road Central. This modern Chinese restaurant blends contemporary design with traditional flavors, creating a unique dining experience that caters not only to locals but also to international visitors looking for an authentic taste of Hong Kong.
The cuisine at Social Place offers a delightful selection of dishes that evoke the rich culinary heritage of China while providing a touch of modern flair. Notably, the restaurant's dim sum has received mixed reviews—while some diners like jim brusin appreciate the quality, they note a deviation from the authentic Hong Kong tea house standard. However, others found the freshness and presentation of dishes like the sweet and sour pork and pigeon charming and well-executed, as highlighted by Samantha Tong.
The menu also dazzles with offerings like the intriguing cold drunken clams and a heartwarming coconut chicken soup that pleasantly surprises with its creamy consistency and fragrant aroma. Don't miss the scallion noodles, a rarity that may leave you yearning for more. The clay pot rice is an occasional highlight, although the portion size might leave some diners wanting more, as Zoe Chan pointed out with her experience of waiting too long for her shrimp dumplings.
Social Place’s ambiance is a harmonious blend of spacious, modern seating with a relaxed vibe, making it an excellent spot for both casual outings and special occasions. The restaurant's atmosphere has been praised for being a perfect balance between lively and comfortable, making it a popular choice for gatherings with friends and family, as noted by Bruce Butt.
Though the restaurant does not impose time limits on your dining experience, allowing you to savor each bite at your own pace, be aware that it’s essential to make a reservation, especially on weekends. Immerse yourself in the enticing aromas and vibrant flavors as you explore the menu, but keep in mind that high-quality dishes come with a price tag; as K Chen remarked, a satisfying meal can set you back around HKD 500 for two.
With its contemporary take on traditional Chinese flavors and a commitment to freshness and quality, Social Place invites diners to relish every moment. Whether you’re a gourmand or someone simply looking to enjoy a good meal with friends, Social Place promises a dining experience that is both enjoyable and memorable. Make your way to Social Place, where every meal is crafted to create happiness on a plate.
