We spent $470 on a Michelin-star meal for 2. The restaurant was inside a corporate office building, but our dinner was far from boring.

• I ate at Hansik Goo, a restaurant in Hong Kong known for modern Korean cuisine, for the first time.
• The delicious meal included seafood, pork dishes, sorbet, and tea.
• Though our $470 meal was pricey, I still thought it was worth the money.

As a food writer visiting my ancestral home in Hong Kong, I knew I wanted to try Hansik Goo, the region’s only Michelin-star Korean restaurant.

Hansik Goo serves lunch, dinner, and drinks and specializes in modern Korean cuisine.

The restaurant, which has maintained its Michelin star for three consecutive years, also welcomed a new head chef last year, so I was excited to try the food.

During my visit to Hong Kong, a friend and I went to Hansik Goo for dinner to see what all the hype was about. Here’s what our dining experience was like.
