Decorated by the Michelin Guide for multiple years, Ba Yi is a foodie’s favourite restaurant exposing the powerful umami and spices of China’s northwestern region of Xinjiang.
Influenced by China’s Uyghur minority and Central Asian communities bordering the province of Xinjiang, wheat, mutton, lamb, pepper, cumin, and red pepper are distinct pillars of the robust cuisine.
Ba Yi is located on the edge of Sai Ying Pun and popular with students from the University of Hong Kong, offering affordable plates for lunch and dinner. Jing onion fried rice (HKD80), tomato egg toss noodles (HKD50), and Xinjiang fried rice (HKD80) are well suited for a midday snack.
Empty your stomach for dinner, because the memo is heavy on carbs and meat. We recommend ordering the dry-fried spicy string beans (HKD68), roasted lamb kebab (HKD99), fried cabbage (HKD50), deep–fried lamb chops (HKD198), and chilli shredded chicken (HKD198).
