Tipping in Hong Kong

Tipping

Tipping isn't a big part of Hong Kong culture. That said, hotels are one of the few places where tips are expected. Hotels and major restaurants usually add a 10% service charge; however, in almost all cases, this money does not go to the waiters and waitresses. Add on up to 10% more for good service. Tipping restroom attendants is common, but it is generally not the custom to leave an additional tip in taxis and beauty salons, and unheard of in theaters and cinemas.
