Hysan Place is one of the newer malls in HK, built just a couple of years back. It has a prime location in Causeway Bay - it's right between two of the major malls, Sogo and Times Square. It's one of the few malls with two entrances that are at least a few minutes' walk apart: one entrance is across Forever 21 and the other is opposite Sogo. This is one of my favorite things about Hysan Place because it makes it so much more accessible. In the gruesome heat that we call Hong Kong summers, this is especially nice as it means less time spent out under the sun and more time in the lovely air conditioning!
As for shopping, there actually aren't many stores of interest to me, besides maybe Hollister (when they're on sale) and 6ixty 8ight. There are a couple of good restaurants at Hysan though - my personal favorite is the ramen at Baikoken, down on the second basement floor where Jason's supermarket is. It's a little expensive for its portion, but that's some of the best ramen I've ever tasted! I also like The Dining Room, a Shanghainese restaurant that's decked out in a contrastingly modern and western way. Shiro, another Japanese restaurant up on the 13th floor, is not bad as well. If not, there's always the food court 'Kitchen Eleven'! I normally head straight to the Pepper Lunch counter when I'm there, or to Triple O's.
Another thing about Hysan Place worth mentioning might be a little surprising, but it's the toilets. The restrooms here are so amazingly clean and almost never crowded, because there's almost one on every floor! The one on the sixth floor is particularly impressive. It looks like something out of a five-star hotel, with its huge, rather artistic sink in the middle!
Hysan Place is conveniently connected to the MTR - no need to leave the station to come into the mall. It's a less upscale mall compared to Sogo and Times Square in my opinion, and has better restaurant offerings too! read more
