Jumbo Floating Restaurant: A Hong Kong iconic restaurant
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • This is one of the most filmed restaurants of Hong Kong - the Jumbo Floating Restaurant.

    It is a double storey boat which serve typical seafoond and Cantonese style cooking on board. Most people come for the atmosphere rather than quality of the food.

    Jumbo Floatig Restaurant is frequented mainly by tourists and locals bringing their overseas business clients or foreign visiting friends.

    There is a small boat ferrying from the terminal to the floating restaurant. At night, it is more surreal with all the bright lights on the boat over the dark sea.

    Located on Aberdeen Harbour about 15 minutes by bus from Wancai District is the Worlds largest floating Resaturant. There are two piers with signs saying Jumbo where you catch small wooden boats across Aberdeen Harbour to get to the restaurants,Around the harbour are women who say they will take you on their boats however they will take you around the harbour first.
    We decided to go mid morning and try the Dim Sum, for our party of seven I have to say only two really enjoyed it the rest said they were pleased to have tried it but wouldnt do it again.
    For those of you who do not know Dim Sum are various dishes which come round on a trolley and you pick from a menu which you would like to try, in each steaming basket are maybe three small pieces of Dim Sum to try.

    We tried steamed shrimp and chinese spinach dumpling 18HKD, steamed rice noodle roll filled with bbq pork 20HKD and spring roll with shredded taro 18HKD, we all enjoyed the latter dish but there were mixed views about the other two. Some of the Dim Sum on the menu were different!!!! e.g steamed soft turnip with dried scallop, steamed rice with spare rib and chicken claw, steamed fried ox stomach with ginger and scallion and deep fried cows organs.
    Our bill total including drinks was 377HKD.

    Jumbo Floating Restaurant: The Jumbo Floating Restaurant...
  • Tip Rating:
  • The Jumbo Floating Restaurant is nice for lunch, although it can get crowded by tour groups. It's very touristy, so you can hardly expect a quiet atmosphere, but nevertheless its still worth visiting.

    Hong Kong Island:

    Hong Kong Island is the big city brother of Kowloon -
    A tightly packed, towering city that hasn't been slowed
    by Chinese rule. The bustle of people in all areas living
    and working is the biggest attraction to the island, although
    many visitors head to Aberdeen, on the southern side of
    the island, where 8000 people live or work on junks
    anchored in the harbour. Sampan tours of the Aberdeen
    Harbour are definitely worth the price. Be sure to check
    out the many floating restaurants.

  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • Jumbo, the world's largest restaurant consists of three floating ships. It no longer floats since concrete was placed under it. You get to it by ferry from Shum Wan Pier. You can then choose to dine at Tai Pat, Sea Palace or Jumbo Palace. You can select your meal from either the menu or the tank.

    Most famous restaurant in Hong Kong is the floating Jumbo-restaurant. Here you can eat an excellent dinner or go during the day (cruise-tour) for a Dim Sum-lunch. Still, there are numerous restaurants, especially in Kowloon-district that serve you tasteful dishes from Kantonese to Czechuan, but ... if you don't want Chinese (I wouldn't understand it, how could you?!?), there is also a wide choice in other food.

    Jumbo Floating Restaurant: Famous and Overpriced
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • This is the famous overpriced Jumbo seafood restaurant in Aberdeen. You take a free ferry out to the restaurants. There are really three of them.

    It is the world's largest floating restaurant and can accommodate up to 2300 guests at one time. It has a staff of more than 300.

    Take a No 70 or No 75 Citybus from either Central or Admiralty to Aberdeen and board a free shuttle boat to the Jumbo Floating Restaurant.
