Langham Place

This mall seems like two different worlds. One part of the mall seems newer, fancier, and with department stores, food court, etc. The other is a taller, vertical but more low-​key and obscuring. The stores in the latter seem less well known, especially as you get higher up. I like the dichotomy of both. Overall, this mall has more of a local feel as there are fewer foreign brands.
There’s seems to be anything you need there, maybe save for a major department store anchor and an electronics store. I guess Beauty Avenue is a department store but really didn’t convince me. However, there are a wide variety of restaurants and clothing stores. Having a cinema is a plus as well.
That escalator that connects the newer part with the older is the steepest and longest I have ever seen. Definitely don’t look back if you’re not a big fan of heights.

This is a huge shopping mall. And by huge, I mean absolutely huge. There’s multiple floors just for restaurants, let alone the main shopping court and then an extra part called «The Spiral» that houses a huge bunch of more shops.
Langham Place is aimed mostly at young, trendy kids with representation by most of the major brands, plus some less well known but still good quality names. While it’s not as cheap as tourists may hope, and especially in comparison to the street markets, but the general quality here is clearly better.
Add in the fact there’s some really great restaurants and bars here, Langham Place is an easy shopping destination above Mongkok station where you could easily waste an entire afternoon!

This mall is beautiful. You can easily spend a whole day here shopping, window shopping, eating (food court is 4^th floor), hanging out, etc. There is free wifi and the bathrooms smell very nice. The atrium is open with sunlight pouring in through its 9 stories of glass windows. You can take the long escalator rides all the way to the top and look down. It’s quite mesmerizing!
Langham Place is a modern skyscraper with an office tower and hotel attached. The shopping mall takes up 15 floors and they spiral down like NYC’s Guggenheim museum. This will cause a problem since there aren’t escalators that reach every floor and there is a long wait for the elevators. You’ll have to spiral up or down from one of the main escalators and walk through the crowds. But overall, I like this mall. It’s a different and more relaxed shopping experience from the rest of Mong Kok.

This is an interesting mall that is built verticals up. Each floor has only a few stores making it annoying constantly having to take the elevator up and down or even the escalator. I am guessing it’s due to the expensive Hong Kong space limitation. Other than that they have a lot of Oversea brand but again for me getting it in North America is a lot cheaper than getting it here.
I terms of the location. It’s convenient because it’s one of the hotel shuttle bus stop and yes this is a tourist area. One of those malls that everyone know of.

I come to Hong Kong on business four times a month and stay at a nearby hotel. Again today I was in the mall and the customer service counter was closed… again! They have a very strange custom here of erecting children’s giant toys in the middle of the mall which makes for terrible traffic congestion inside the mall. I use to like going to this mall but I am really turned off the place now. Stores open late or inconsistently. I’ve had it with this place. Since their is no customer relations on line my only recourse is to shout out my displeasure on Unilocal. Thank you Unilocal and screw you Langham mall.

This shopping mall feels like something that got moved from another neighborhood and dropped into Mong Kok… instead of the cheap, poorly made stuff that defines MK, they have fancier brands. Here you can pay full price and buy the real stuff where a few streets away knock-​offs can be had for a fraction of the price.
The many levels provide plenty of shopping and eating opportunities. There is free wi-​fi.
We also like to stop by Pacific Coffee at the basement level to rest our legs, and to check out the supermarket there.

The mall is beautifully designed. I went to check it out for its architecture. Weird right? This place is filled with brands you can find in the US– such as H&M, Michael Kors, LV, Coach, Gucci etc… I would not recommend here if you are trying to score any deals like at Fa Yuen street or Ladies market. Take exit B2 when you exit MTR from Mong Kok station and there’s an escalator where it takes you directly to the mall from H&M side.
During the Holiday season, there are mainly fun decorations at the atrium. Bust your cameras out and be the selfie queen/​king that you are! The higher up you go, you will find really random stores like bla bla bra (huh?!)

Well, it’s a shopping mall.
They have tons of expensive brands here that have some really beautiful stores if you want to window shop. However, it’s not really my scene.
It is a beautiful place though. Really well designed.
What I will say though is that when it was it was burning hot outside, the air conditioning in the mall was so fantastic I will be thankful for it forever. So for that alone, you get four stars, because you are a lifesaver.

Big and famous shopping mall. It’s a very expensive mall famous brands like Gucci, coach, Louis Vuitton, Michael kors, etc.
There is also grocery store and a coffee shop downstairs. The grocery store has awesome food, snacks and drinks that are from everywhere. Prices are decent. Don’t forget your reusable/​tote bags. They aren’t any at supermarkets. We totally forgot about bags and had to carry everything.
It’s a nice and clean mall. Great for picture taking and hangouts. It’s kind of like a Ala Moana in Hawaii. But it’s all indoor so you get awesome A/​C in the summer.

I love shopping here! There are a variety of different stores inside. The interior design is lovely as well. This mall is also quite clean.
Running Man actually filmed their Hong Kong special episode here.

I love that the lower floors of this mall have the big brands such as H&M, Aldo, and G2000, but the higher floors have boutique shops that sell unique things. This is one of those malls has just about everything you could ever dream of. It has a food court that has many big name restaurants such as Tea Wood, Chee Kee, Pepper Lunch, Honeymoon Dessert and many more. There is a Marketplace on the lowest floor and a couple of the floors below ground level are just dedicated to shoes. Lastly, I love that it has a dedicated exit from the MTR station so you don’t have to go outside.
The only thing that holds this back from receiving 5 stars is the crowd. Because it’s in Mong Kok, the world’s most dense area, there are A LOT of people there and sometimes that makes it hard and/​or bothersome to shop there.

Langham Place is a mall favorite among youngsters and adults alike. Located at the heart of Mong Kok, Langham is especially crowded on weekends and during holidays. I was walking on B2/​f towards the MTR the other day, and it was completely packed. It would be really annoying if you’re in a rush, because there’s absolutely no way you can sift through the dense crowd!
Langham Place has all your shopping needs covered. Beauty Avenue is somewhat of a Lane Crawford, with counters from tons of different skincare and makeup brands. There’s an H&M, which I steer clear of because it is permanently packed and they skimp on the air conditioning here, which really doesn’t help. For shoes, head down to B1/​f where you’ll find the likes of Steve Madden and Aldo, and local brands too like Joy & Peace and Millie’s. For the less mainstream stores, start from the 8^th floor up. Here, you’ll find little boutiques and stores that sell cool collectors’ items.
Langham has a good variety of restaurants too. I would avoid the fourth floor, where most of the restaurants are — it’s way too crowded there and the wait for a table is insane on weekends and holidays. I prefer the restaurants upstairs — a good one would be Pascuitto, which makes really good pasta.
Actually, to me, Langham is more of an architectural wonder than a place to shop. I mean, there’s lots to shop here, but for some reason I never stay long after having a meal. The boutiques upstairs are fun to poke around in, but aren’t really my style, and as for the chain stores, they’re available in a lot of other major malls so they’re nothing special. Langham Place is quite the art show — the upper floors have huge floor-​to-​ceiling windows, allowing an expansive view of the always-​hectic Mong Kok and letting in lots of natural sunlight — or not… curse you, Mother Nature! The way the upper floors are structured is such that they’re connected to each other via a gradual spiral staircase. You can spiral down the 12^th floor all the way down to the 8^th (I hope I’ve got the numbers right), which is pretty cool!
Honestly, Langham isn’t my favorite mall in HK because of the crowds. But I have to admit — it’s probably one of the coolest designed malls in HK!

I always go to Langham Place when I’m in Mong Kok due to its accessibility. It’s right next to the MTR station (you can reach there from Exit C, where you’ll directly get into its Level B2, or from Exit E2, where you can find the main entrance. There are plenty of bus stops around the shopping mall as well. And most importantly, Mong Kok is a popular place to spend your spare time like shopping, singing karaōke, etc. So during weekends this place is usually packed with people!
Shopping isn’t really one of my routines in Langham Place. Okay I admit I do walk into H&M, Accessorize and I.T. to see the trendy items. After all it’s a kind of ‘instinct’ among girls! But you can barely see me walking out with a bag of products. Actually I love to stroll here. Getting rid of the crowding fashion and brand-​name levels, what I do is to take the long escalator up to the 6/​F. Beside the escalator aren’t walls, but glass! It’s like you’re inside a huge aquarium seeing all the people becoming smaller and smaller. Apart from looking upwards you can look backwards and see the adverts shown from the large TV. Arriving the 6/​F isn’t the end of your escalator journey, yet more to come! In front of you is another escalator heading directly to the 13/​F. You can find shops of diverse categories located on those seven floors including Converse, Adidas, Chocoolate. After you’ve arrived the 13/​F you can start strolling while walking downstairs with the slopes and steps. It takes you more than half an hour! You’ll also find some info of your horoscopes and you may pay to see your luck level of the day (but I’m not sure if it really works… as i haven’t tried it)! The colourful rainbow stairway is another attraction for me. I remember when I was playing a city tracing game, there’s a task for us to count the number of steps there! As I remember, it should be thirty something. You can count if you’re free there haha! If you’re super full after having a wonderful meal nearby, or at the foot court there, having a stroll there will definitely make you feel better!

There are many malls in Hong Kong, most of which have the exact same stores as the next accompanied by similar, if not the same, restaurants. I suppose that works out considering many of us are slowly turning into zombies with generic desires. But what about the living? What about those that are not turning into a zombie? Well I’m afraid Langham is not the entire solution, but it provides a fresh wave of stores.
Ignore everything from the bottom floor (entrance to the MTR) to the fourth (Starbucks), climb onto a giant escalator up to the 6^th and hey presto, we have stores that are not exact replicas of others around Hong Kong (That I know of!). Even the restaurants are only small franchises at largest. I’ve lived within a five minutes walk of Langham place so I’ve been there often. As a treat I bought my girlfriend a stuffed panda from Color Rich, had some tapas at Tapaz, then went for a movie in their cinema. A solid, safe date in a newish place is better than a solid, safe date in the same place as every weekend!
The greatest thing for me, when arriving onto the sixth floor, was not being able to recognize the names of the stores. B. Duck? Bla Bla Bra (Ok, if a shop sells bras and it’s not Victoria’s Secret then I would not have heard of it — but it’s a cool name anyway.), Salad — which does not sell salad, anywhere, and others. It’s so refreshing walking into a clothing store that doesn’t sell the same thing, or copies of, as Zara and H&M, call me strange but I really don’t want to look like every one else on the street.
After running around the mall I can say this. It has some of the familiar stores and restaurants as to not bring me completely out of my comfort zone and enough new ones that makes me curious. A safe mix of Zombie and Living, same and different, old and new.
