Inside the Artsy First Restaurant at Hong Kong’s Henderson Tower
While Akira Back Hong Kong is a veritable feast for the eyes, the food doesn’t quite hit the same mark.
Akira Back is the first restaurant to open at The Henderson in Central, with two other fine-dining options to follow. Just like chef Akira Back’s other locations, from Paris and Las Vegas to Singapore and Riyadh, expect artfully presented dishes, luxe interiors and friendly staff.
My guest, a former art curator, and I visited Tuesday, not long after the Hong Kong location opened at the end of September. It serves Japanese-Korean fusion with American touches, reflecting the chef’s heritage as a Korean-American who trained in Japanese culinary arts, including a career at Nobu.
