OpenRice Scraper — Hong Kong Restaurant Data

Scrape OpenRice Hong Kong restaurants with ratings, prices, opening hours and GPS coordinates, ready for analysis. Search dim sum, filter by district or cuisine, press Start, and get structured listings with review scores, HKD price bands as numbers, weekly opening hours, bilingual addresses and map coordinates as JSON, CSV or Excel.

Business listings only. No reviewer names, no review text, no user accounts, no login required.

What this Actor does

OpenRice, Hong Kong's largest restaurant directory, lists about 28,900 open restaurants, but the site only lets you browse them a page at a time and stops paging after 10,000 results. This Actor turns the directory into a dataset you can filter, sort, map and join against your own data, including a whole-city run.

• 🍜 ~28,900 open restaurants. Search by keyword, district or cuisine, or take the whole city
• ⭐ Review score and volume. Overall score, the source's own review total and bookmark count
• 💵 Price bands as numbers. $101-200 also comes as price_min_hkd: 101, price_max_hkd: 200
• 🕐 Weekly opening hours. Per day, split into lunch and dinner sessions, closed days marked
• 📍 GPS coordinates on every venue, ready to map
• 🀄 English and Chinese. Chinese address on 99% of venues, alternate-language name where one exists
• 🍱 Cuisine and dish tags. 66 cuisines and 55 dish or venue types
• 🏙️ 85 districts plus 10 named neighbourhoods (Soho, Lan Kwai Fong, Kennedy Town, ...)
• 🚚 Only venues that are open. Moved and renovating venues are left out by default, so one restaurant is never billed twice

Because it runs on Apify, you also get scheduling, run monitoring, a REST API, webhooks, and integrations with Make, Zapier, Google Sheets, Slack and Airbyte, without hosting anything.

How to use it (3 steps)

1. Click Try for free and sign in to Apify Console.
2. Enter a keyword (e.g. ramen), or a District ID / Cuisine ID from the tables below.
3. Click Start, then open the Dataset tab and export as JSON, CSV, Excel, HTML or XML.

Leave every filter empty and set Maximum restaurants to 30000 to take the whole city.

How complete is the data?

Measured on a whole-city run on 23 September 2026: all 28,804 open restaurants it returned.

Field	Filled
Name, address, district, GPS, price band, cuisines, review count, bookmarks, link	100%
Chinese address (address_other_lang)	99%
Phone number	83%
Opening hours	82%
Opening date	79%
Review score	69% (venues with few or no reviews are not scored yet: null, never 0)
Dish or venue type	60%
Alternate-language name	53% (many Chinese-only names have no English version)

What the data shows

Share of open restaurants by price per head, from the same whole-city run:

Price per head	Whole city	Central	Tsim Sha Tsui	Yuen Long
$100 or less	72%	43%	43%	80%
$101-200	17%	24%	25%	15%
Over $200	11%	33%	32%	5%

Four in five Yuen Long restaurants charge $100 or less a head; in Central it is fewer than half. A third of Central's restaurants charge over $200, against one in twenty in Yuen Long. Central's top cuisines are Western (396), Japanese (184) and Hong Kong Style (177); Yuen Long's are Hong Kong Style (619), Guangdong (194) and Western (133).

How much does it cost to scrape Hong Kong restaurants?

$1.00 per 1,000 restaurants, plus $0.005 per run. You pay for rows you receive, not for compute.

Run	Restaurants	Cost
Try it	100	$0.11
One cuisine in one district (Japanese in Central)	184	$0.19
Biggest district (Tsim Sha Tsui)	1,791	$1.80
Whole city	~28,800	~$28.80

A district takes one to three minutes. A whole-city run takes about 40 minutes.

The Actor never goes past your Maximum cost per run: it stops at the number of restaurants that budget pays for and says so on the run page. Raise it to about $30 for a whole-city run.

FAQ

Is this legal? The Actor collects publicly visible business listings: venue name, address, cuisine, price band, opening hours and aggregate ratings. It does not collect reviewer identities, review text, user accounts or any personal data. You remain responsible for how you use the output.

Why about 28,900 restaurants, when the site mentions more? The directory also lists venues that have moved or are closed for renovation, about 13% of its entries. A moved venue appears again at its new address, so counting it would bill you twice for one restaurant. They are excluded by default. Turn on Include moved and renovating venues to get them too, with status and moved_to_poi_id to link each move to the new listing.

Does a whole-city run really get everything? The source stops paging at 10,000 results, so above that the Actor searches district by district. That reaches every restaurant filed under a district: 99.6% of open venues. About 100 venues have no district on the source, and a district-by-district walk cannot reach them.

What if the source blocks the run? OpenRice uses bot protection. The Actor sends one request at a time with a pause between them, and when the source refuses, it waits and retries for up to about 20 minutes, noting each long wait in the run log. If the source still refuses, the run stops and fails with a message saying how many restaurants it collected. Those rows stay in the dataset, and you are charged only for them plus the start fee. The run is marked as failed so that a scheduled pipeline never mistakes a partial dataset for the whole city.

Why do some restaurants have no score? The source does not score venues with few reviews yet: 31% of open restaurants, half of which have no reviews at all. They come back as null rather than 0, so they never drag an average down. Weight scores with review_count: a 4.8 from 12 reviews is not a 4.8 from 800.

Is there an official OpenRice API? OpenRice has no public API for developers. This Actor gives you its public restaurant listings through Apify's REST API: start a run from your code, then read the dataset as JSON, CSV or Excel.

What do smiles and cries mean? The source's positive and negative review counters. review_count is the source's own total, which also includes neutral reviews, so it is usually larger than smiles + cries.

What is url? The source's own short link to the restaurant page. It redirects to the full page.

Can I get review text? No. This Actor stays on business-level data so that it holds no personal data at all.

Can I get historical data? Each run is a snapshot of the directory at that moment. Schedule a weekly run and your datasets become a history of openings, closures, price and rating changes.

Can I use this via API? Yes. Every Apify Actor has a REST API, so you can trigger runs and pull results from your own code, or use the Make / Zapier / Google Sheets integrations.
