Yamamoto Hamburg Brings Handmade Patties To Hong Kong

There is a certain tenderness in a perfectly made hamburg patty, the kind that carries the memory of home cooking and the warmth of someone stirring a pan just for you. Yamamoto Hamburg just opened in February 2026 at PopCorn mall in Tseung Kwan O, inviting you to rediscover that simple joy through handcrafted Japanese hamburg served from morning to night.

From Tokyo to Tseung Kwan O

Officially opening its doors at 11:28 am on 10 February 2026, Yamamoto Hamburg marks its first Hong Kong branch at Shop F23, 1/F, PopCorn 1, 9 Tong Yin Street, Tseung Kwan O. The all day dining concept is presented by the sister brand of Hikiniku to Come, offering Hong Kong exclusive dishes alongside its signature handmade hamburg patties that channel the nostalgic flavours of what many describe as ‘mum’s cooking’.

Founded in Tokyo in 2005 by Chef Shohei Yamamoto, the brand was inspired by memories of his mother’s cooking and his belief that hamburg is best when freshly made. What began as a personal tribute has since grown into a beloved chain across Japan, known for elevating budget friendly family dining into something heartfelt and carefully crafted.

The Craft Behind Every Patty

At the heart of Yamamoto Hamburg is a dedication to artisanal care. Premium beef and pork are selected in a carefully perfected golden ratio of fat to lean meat, a balance refined through hours of sampling to ensure each hamburg is rich, juicy and deeply flavourful. The meat is freshly ground in house, kneaded by hand and cooked to order, resulting in patties with layered flavours and a firm yet tender bite.

Set meals come with unlimited refills of seasonal Japanese white rice, known for its sweet, glossy grains, and a comforting bowl of miso soup, echoing the balanced nourishment of a traditional Japanese family meal. Upon seating, you are welcomed with a small cup of Homemade Veggie and Fruit juice, with the option to upgrade to a 360ml serving for HK$18, a thoughtful touch for city dwellers who often miss out on fresh produce.

Signature Creations and Hong Kong Exclusives

The classic Yamamoto’s Hamburg at HK$118 arrives in a rustic bowl crowned with a cloud-like Hollandaise soufflé. Within the patty lies molten cheese enriched by a special miso sauce, accompanied by spaghetti, vegetables, egg and a savoury Japanese broth to create a comforting, well-rounded meal.

If you prefer a touch of heat, the Spicy Mentaiko Hamburg at HK$98 layers mild spiciness and savoury saltiness over the aromatic patty. For something lighter, the Grated Daikon and Ponzu Hamburg at HK$88 balances richness with generous Japanese radish and yuzu vinegar, highlighting the elegance of Japanese flavours.

The Hamburg Combo selections offer playful contrasts. Chicken Nanban and Hamburg at HK$95 pairs a tender beef and pork patty with crispy chicken glazed in a piquant sauce. Deep fried Shrimp and Hamburg at HK$125 delivers a comforting surf and turf experience.

Beyond hamburg, Shiso Genovese Spaghetti at HK$95 reimagines an Italian classic with Japanese perilla, with the option to add Wadajima Smelt for HK$40. Spaghetti with Spicy Mentaiko Cream Sauce at HK$118 blends mentaiko umami with rich cream, while Baked Spaghetti with Hamburg at HK$108 hides the juicy patty beneath a thick layer of melted cheese.

A Space Designed for Everyday Joy

Designed by Japanese studio Wool Design Room, the 1,700 square foot restaurant accommodates more than 60 diners. Warm natural wood, gentle lighting and a modern minimalist layout create a cosy atmosphere that celebrates the small pleasures of daily life. It is a setting that encourages you to linger, savour and reconnect over comforting food.

Opening Celebration and Keepsakes

To celebrate its Hong Kong debut, from 10 February 2026, when you spend HK$400 or more, you can receive a limited edition Yamahan Gallery Eco bag or a Hamburg Plush Charm, while stocks last. Each memento is designed as a small reminder of the brand’s homely, motherly warmth.

Yamamoto Hamburg welcomes you daily from 8:00 am to 10:00 pm, with last orders at 9:30 pm. For enquiries, you may call (852) 3154-6800 or email enquiry@kabu.com.hk. More information is available at kabu.com.hk, and you can follow updates on Instagram and Facebook.

In Tseung Kwan O, amid the bustle of PopCorn mall, this Tokyo born pioneer invites you to sit down, take a breath and rediscover the healing warmth of a freshly made hamburg, crafted by hand and served with heart.
