Tipping in casual chain restaurant/noodles/congee/''tea house''/snack shop: not necessary. In terms of fancier restaurants i.e. hotels/bars in located in Central/Hong Kong Island/larger establishments then tipping is well...expected. 10%-20% I suppose? E.g. If the bill comes to HK$100, (pending on the time of day i.e. afternoon tea vs dinner) then I suppose leaving the lose coins behind is exceptable. If you are still uncomfortable or unsure when tipping is required, then leave behind a $10 coin as a gesture.

Also, when you get the bill, just have a look whether a ''service charge'' has already been added to your bill. In some restaurants there''s an added service charge during Sundays/public holidays. If they have already added this ''extra charge'', IMHO, pending on how well the waiting staff looked after you, you are under no obligation to leave behind an ''extra'' tip on top of the service charge.

Hope this helps. Tipping is a hard one because it is personal. However if I may I will insist on the ''leaving a $10 coin behind'' rule as a safe bet.

Tipping in Hong Kong Restaurants

I will be in HK soon and was wondering about tipping in restaurants. Years ago, I went to HK and it appeared that no one tipped in casual resturants (noddle shops). Maybe the tip was included on the bill? Is it common practice to not tip in these types of establishments? what about the "fancier" HK restaurants and what is the standard % that is given.

HK is an international region and very well developped. Most people there can speak English and there are clear signs everwhere. Also the transportation there is very convenient. We stayed 3 days in Hong Kong and we found it was not difficult to visit around. People there are easy going and all kinds of restaurants are easy to find. Anyway, HK is quite different from mainland, but both are good travel destinations.

There are many ‘hidden’ restaurants in Hong Kong, small, with good ambience and authentic cuisine and great food. Here is a taste of Northeastern Chinese cuisine, the “Bistro Manchu”, located at Elgin Street, up Central Escalators.

Ask for a scented osthmanthus Wulong tea, to taste with the vast choices of Manchurian cold appetizers, dumplings, specialty courses and desserts.
