The Korean-washed broadly Asian restaurant GOLDEN GIP has ended its run of 22 months in Central, set to be replaced by a new concept from the same restaurant group.

CENSU CREW, the group behind CENSU in Hong Kong and Tokyo and SIÜ SIÜ, is introducing RON in its place on Wellington Street as head chef Tim Wong arrives to lead the kitchen.

Asian recipes with Korean ingredients and savoir-foire succeeds a new direction for the Central venue with RON coming in to focus on Japanese-Cantonese fusion cuisine – dai pai dong flavours with izakaya cooking.

Chef Tim formerly led as sous chef at CENSU Hong Kong. RON opens for an opening preview for lunch and dinner on Nov. 12.

Golden Gip first launched as a summer 2024 pop-up in Sai Wan Ho before permanently landing in Central in January 2025.
