Korea's drinking culture is about to get a smart new home in Central. YuSang is a contemporary Korean restaurant set to open in Prince's Building from mid-August 2026, built around a simple, joyful idea: anju (food made to be shared over drinks) and sool (Korea's world of soju, makgeolli and fruit wine). Here is the first look.

What is YuSang?
YuSang is a contemporary Korean restaurant that puts drinking culture at its heart. Rather than treating alcohol as an afterthought, it builds the whole experience around the relationship between what you eat and what you drink — the way friends actually gather in Seoul.
It is opening in Prince's Building, one of Central's most polished addresses, which sets the tone: this is a considered, grown-up take on Korean dining rather than a rowdy barbecue joint. For the fuller picture of the city's Korean scene, see our guide to the best Korean restaurants in Hong Kong.
What are anju and sool?
Two words unlock the concept. Sool is the umbrella term for Korean alcoholic drinks, and YuSang zeroes in on three: soju (the clear, clean national spirit), makgeolli (a cloudy, lightly fizzy rice brew) and Korean fruit wine.
Anju is the food created specifically to be eaten alongside those drinks — the Korean equivalent of great bar snacks, but taken seriously. At YuSang the idea is to pick a drink first, then choose dishes designed to sing next to it. It is a natural fit for a night out, much like the city's best wine bars reward matching bottle to plate.
What is on the menu?
The food menu is built for sharing and spans the full Korean range: raw and chilled plates, fried dishes, warming soups and stews, rice dishes and charcoal-grilled meats. The idea is to assemble a spread around your chosen tipple rather than order a single main each.
YuSang
As a new opening, opening hours and pricing were still to be confirmed at the time of writing, so call ahead or check before you go. Come with a group, order a bottle of makgeolli or soju, and let the table fill with anju — that is the way to do YuSang.
When does it open and where?
YuSang is due to open from mid-August 2026 in Prince's Building, Central, at 10 Chater Road. It is a short, sheltered walk from Central MTR — leave via Exit K and follow the elevated walkways straight into the building. That puts it in the thick of Central's after-work drinking and dining crowd.
