Namdaemun is located in the Lei Yue Mun Seafood Food Village and is the preferred restaurant for seafood processing in the Lei Yue Mun area. Lei Yue Mun was once a fishing village for more than 150 years, and most of the villagers here used to be farmers, fishermen and miners. It wasn't until the 60s that restaurants began to appear in the fishing village and developed into a seafood area. Lei Yue Mun is now one of the few seafood spots frequented by Hong Kong locals, many of whom come here to buy seafood processing.
The location of the south gate is not conspicuous, and when you come to Lei Yue Mun, you have to pass through the shops selling seafood and seafood processing restaurants, and after seeing the basketball court, you will continue to walk in the direction of the sea, and finally you will see this seafood processing restaurant. However, the aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, even if it is in the innermost part of Liyumen, it does not affect the diners to navigate to it. Located on the waterfront of Lei Yue Mun, facing the eastern part of Hong Kong Island and the Kowloon Peninsula, the South Gate is decorated with floor-to-ceiling windows on the first floor, making the interior bright and transparent during the day. The second floor is an open-air terrace with an unobstructed view of Victoria Harbour at night.
However, Namdaemun only serves seafood processing, and the restaurant does not sell seafood, and this model also applies to other restaurants in Lei Yue Mun fishing village. In Lei Yue Mun, seafood sales and seafood processing are separated, and some restaurants can buy seafood on behalf of others, but they are not the restaurant's own seafood. The seafood is purchased at the seafood market in Lei Yue Mun, and the quality and variety of seafood at each store are similar, so it is best to shop around and negotiate the price before buying.
Namdaemun has a wealth of experience in seafood cooking, and the spicy wine boiled snail and the salt-and-pepper shrimp have won the French Cordon Bleu Gastronomy Award. The sashimi of all kinds of seafood is also sliced, and it is served with mustard and soy sauce pepper rings, which are crisp and refreshing. Salted egg yolk fried fresh squid has a moderate salty flavor and a Q-bomb taste, which is also suitable for children. However, if there are special requirements, you can explain them to the chef in advance.
The waiters here are not young, the service is meticulous and considerate, and the tea and water are poured and the dishes are changed in time, but on weekends when there are too many customers in the store, they will be a little inconsiderate, and the food will be served slower than usual. However, the quality of service here is rare compared to many seafood restaurants, and the scenery of Victoria Harbour and delicious seafood are comparable to the specifications of high-end restaurants.
It should be noted that the oil and processing fees in Nandaemun are calculated according to the cooking method and the number of people, starting from two people, 130 Hong Kong dollars per person, and 80 Hong Kong dollars for more than four people. Some special fuels will also be charged separately, and all charges are indicated in the menu. If you go for lunch, you will have a special package for 4 people, 6 people, 10 people, etc., and the same cooking method is more affordable than dinner trips. However, the set menu is a fixed course, and customers cannot choose their own recipe or dish. If you want to sit in a position with a view of the sea, you need to make a reservation by phone in advance.
