Golden Gip: a Dai Pai Dong with a Korean Twist Opens in Central

Get ready, foodies—Censu Crew, led by the visionary Chef-Founder Shun Sato, has officially opened Golden Gip on Wellington Street in Central, following the success of their pop-up in Sai Wan Ho, and it’s set to be your next dining obsession.
Head Chef Nigel Kim is at the helm, delivering bold Asian flavors with a Korean twist. Golden Gip has taken the dai pai dong experience to new heights, with incredible food, a buzzing atmosphere, and collaborative art pieces that turn the space into a feast for both your eyes and your palate.

Step inside, and you’ll be greeted by old-school style neon lights and a chic yet nostalgic vibe, designed by Studio C8 under Sasaki Chikara’s creative direction. The interior pays homage to Hong Kong’s iconic neon signs, blending modern aesthetics with the warmth of “Gip”—Korean for “home.”

Golden Gip's menu is designed for sharing, sparking conversation, and delighting your taste buds. Highlights include Hamachi (HKD 168), Japanese hamachi paired with roasted sesame seeds and homemade chili oil for a delicate yet bold flavor.
Not Your Normal Burrata, priced at HKD 128, consists of burrata with kombu dashi-cured tomatoes and Golden Gip's “Strange Flavor Sauce,” for an East-meets-West twist.

Try their Drool Chicken (HKD 138), exceptionally toothsome slow-cooked chicken infused with Shaoxing wine and Sichuan pepper, paired with goji berries and sliced okra, or their Kimchi Cheung Fun (HKD 168), Hong Kong-style cheung fun elevated with homemade XO sauce, kimchi, and a satisfying wok hey aroma.
Larger plates include the crowd-pleasing Fxxcking Peace Out Mapo Tofu (HKD 278) with fresh crab and tteokbokki, and the umami-packed Grilled Pork Neck (HKD 188) marinated in doenjang.
Golden Gip even reinvents comfort food with dishes like the Not Censu Cup Udon (HKD 118), where crispy noodles, seafood, and a doenjang broth come together in perfect harmony.
