Perched right above the Sha Tin Station, Citylink Plaza is chocked full of small shops and restaurants. I come here more so to eat than to shop, as most of the boutiques are very Asian fashion inspired and not really my style, and the ones that are are a little expensive.
Citylink is always packed around lunch hours, especially weekends. The restaurants aren't too expensive - you'll be spending quite a bit less than $100 per person if you're here for lunch, and there is quite the variety too. If you're looking for dimsum, Dimdimsum Dimsum (yes, that's its real name) is a great choice. The dimsum is all made-to-order and is extremely fresh, which makes up for the cramped environment and less-than-friendly service. Viet's Choice has all your Vietnamese cravings satisfied, and euro go go is great for a general western fare and is cheap too. And if you're really on the run, you can go for Fairwood. Speaking of which, there is a pretty big ladies' toilet opposite Fairwood that is always clean. For a quick drink fix, there's a Gong Cha stall too (right next to Fairwood).
There are quite a couple of fashion and accessories boutiques here too - some are actually quite inexpensive, but the stuff isn't the most glamorous. The shops are all quite small, so it's a bit of a squeeze if you're here on a particularly crowded day.
One of my favorite things about Citylink is the huge 759 store on the fourth floor. But do take note that the fourth floor isn't accessible by escalators so you'll have to go over to the office lifts. read more
