Tucked away in one of Moda’s cozy side streets, 852 Hong Kong Cafe Restaurant brings authentic Cantonese cuisine straight to Istanbul. This family‑run spot is known as the first and only full Cantonese dim sum and handmade noodle restaurant in the city, with a chef originally from Hong Kong leading the kitchen.

Here, you’ll find fresh and flavorful dim sum baskets, handmade noodles, bao buns, and classic Cantonese favorites prepared with care and tradition. Many visitors praise the freshness and authenticity of the dishes, from perfectly steamed dumplings to rich noodle plates and other Hong Kong‑style comfort foods.

The restaurant’s intimate and casual atmosphere suits laid‑back lunch or dinner gatherings with friends and family. It’s also vegetarian‑friendly, offering a range of plant‑based dim sum and noodle options, and even outdoor seating for sunny days in Moda.

While opinions vary a bit among reviewers — some loving its authentic flavors and others finding a dish or two average — the consensus highlights the restaurant’s unique Cantonese experience right in the heart of Kadıköy.
