Hong Kong’s Wong Yan Seafood Restaurant is rolling out a series of aggressive price cuts across its branches, offering roast meats starting at just $50 HKD, complimentary servings of conpoy贵妃 chicken or steamed Sabah tiger grouper for evening diners, and a flat-rate dim sum pricing scheme designed to help budget-conscious families eat well without breaking the bank.
As Hong Kong grapples with persistent inflationary pressures on dining costs, one连锁 restaurant group is pushing back with a multi-pronged promotional blitz. Wong Yan Seafood Restaurant, a mid-range chain with locations including a flagship outlet in Tseung Kwan O’s Metro City Plaza Phase 3, has introduced what it calls its “Benefit the Neighbors” takeaway roast meat program, alongside evening dine-in freebies and uniform-priced dim sum throughout the day.
Roast Meats at Rock-Bottom Prices
The centerpiece of the current campaign is a daily rotating selection of classic Cantonese roast meats available for takeaway. From Monday through Sunday, customers can purchase portions of honey-glazed叉烧, crispy roasted pork belly,招牌 roast goose, rose soy sauce chicken, and conpoy贵妃 chicken for as little as $50 HKD per container.
Each day features a different protein, and quantities are strictly limited—once sold out, the offering ends for that day. This “one rotation per day” model creates urgency while allowing the kitchen to focus on quality for each featured item.
Key daily offerings include:
- 蜜汁叉烧 (Honey-glazed BBQ pork)
- 脆皮烧腩仔 (Crispy roasted pork belly)
- 招牌烧鹅皇 (Signature roast goose)
- 玫瑰豉油鸡 (Rose soy sauce chicken)
- 瑶柱贵妃鸡 (Conpoy贵妃 chicken)
Evening Dinner: Spend $200, Get Free Seafood or Chicken
For diners visiting during evening hours, Wong Yan is offering an aggressive incentive: spend $200 HKD on regular-priced dishes, and receive either a complimentary serving of柚子蜜脆虾球 (pomelo honey crispy prawn balls) or an entire steamed Sabah tiger grouper.
A separate “5-for-1” evening promotion allows customers ordering a regular-priced dish to select a free item from a curated list, including conpoy贵妃 chicken or poached live sea shrimp. For an additional $48 HKD, diners can upgrade their free item to half a Peking duck or baked lobster with superior broth on e-fu noodles.
Dim Sum at a Single Price Point
The restaurant is also targeting afternoon tea and lunch crowds with a simplified pricing structure for its handmade dim sum. All small, medium, and large steamed items—including siu mai, har gow, beef balls with山竹, fresh spring rolls,叉烧 buns, and shrimp rice noodle rolls—are priced at a flat $17.80 HKD per basket.
Earlier morning hours feature a “Twin Treasures” breakfast deal starting at $32.80 HKD for two selected dim sum items.
Broader Industry Trend
Wong Yan is not alone in this aggressive pricing strategy. The Pak Ho Food Group, which operates连锁 restaurants including Pak Ho Famous Feast, Choi Wui Palace, Pak Wui Restaurant, and others across 20 locations, has simultaneously launched its own “5-for-1” evening promotion. Their offerings include deep-fried squab for $13.80 HKD, steamed spotted grouper with soy sauce for $38 HKD, and winter melon soup for $48 HKD.
These moves reflect a broader trend across Hong Kong’s dining sector, where mid-range establishments are competing fiercely for cost-conscious customers. The promotional wars come as the Hong Kong Tourism Board’s “Summer Pass” program offers over 150 discounts across the city, including buy-one-get-one deals at McDonald’s and $25 supermarket vouchers.
What This Means for Diners
For families looking to stretch their dining budgets, these promotions offer genuine value. A dinner for four at Wong Yan could easily include a free steamed fish worth $150+ HKD when ordering $200 in regular dishes, effectively reducing the meal cost by 30-40 percent.
The takeaway roast meat program also provides an economical option for adding protein to home-cooked meals without the time and effort of preparation.

As inflation continues to pressure household budgets across Hong Kong, these restaurant promotions may signal a new normal in the city’s dining landscape—where quality Cantonese cuisine becomes accessible at prices that would have seemed unthinkable just a year ago. Whether other chains follow suit remains to be seen, but for now, savvy diners have a window of opportunity to eat well for less.
