Central's run of ambitious young-chef openings continues on the upper floors of H Queen's. Hokkien House opens on 5 September 2026 at 21/F, led by Levi You, the Zhangzhou-born chef who won the inaugural Michelin Guide Fujian Young Chef Award in 2025 — and who is now bringing that province's cooking to Hong Kong on its own terms.

What is Hokkien House?
Hokkien House is a new restaurant dedicated to Fujianese cuisine, opening on 5 September 2026 on the 21st floor of H Queen's, the Central tower better known for its stack of international art galleries. The kitchen explores the range of flavours found across Fujian province — from mountain cooking inland to the coastal seafood traditions of Zhangzhou and Xiamen — rather than treating the cuisine as a single, uniform style.
Carefully prepared stocks form the base of many dishes, and the kitchen sources fresh seafood shipped in daily from Fujian, paired with seasonal produce bought locally in Hong Kong.
Who is Levi You?
Levi You is a Zhangzhou-born chef-patron who won the inaugural Michelin Guide Fujian Young Chef Award in 2025, a regional accolade recognising rising talent within Fujianese cooking specifically. Hokkien House is his first Hong Kong restaurant, and it arrives as part of a wider trend of young mainland Chinese chefs opening single-region concepts in the city — a similar story to QUAN, the nearby contemporary Chinese restaurant helmed by Michelin Guide Chengdu Young Chef Award winner Justin Yang.
Why does Fujianese cooking matter right now?
Fujianese food remains one of the least represented major Chinese regional cuisines in Hong Kong compared with Cantonese, Sichuan or Chiu Chow kitchens, despite the historical trading links between Fujian and southern China. Hokkien House's arrival, alongside a run of other young-chef, single-region Chinese restaurants opening in Central this year — including IL PRESIDENTE nearby on Duddell Street — points to a broader shift in the city's fine-dining scene toward chef-led, tightly focused regional concepts rather than broad multi-region Chinese menus.

Address, hours and how to get there
Hokkien House
H Queen's is a short, well-signposted walk from Central MTR Station and sits among some of the city's best-known contemporary art galleries, making it an easy dinner-and-gallery-hop combination.
Good to know: as a brand-new opening, Hokkien House hasn't yet published set-menu pricing or confirmed daily service hours — contact the restaurant via WhatsApp before visiting in its first weeks, and expect early bookings to move quickly given the chef's Michelin-recognised profile.
