Hong Kong luxury hotel buffets are kicking off the new year with massive limited-time promotions, offering diners deep discounts on premium spreads, including all-you-can-eat seafood, prime cuts, and international cuisine. Notably, Eaton HK’s renowned buffet, The Astor, and Kowloon Shangri-La’s Café Kool have announced flash sales starting as early as January 19th and January 22nd, with prices dropping significantly for a limited booking window. These offers present a prime opportunity for food enthusiasts to indulge in luxury dining experiences at accessible price points, featuring an array of seasonal specialties and themed dishes.
Eaton HK Unveils Buy-One-Get-One Buffet Dinner
The Astor, Eaton HK’s highly rated buffet venue, is set to launch a highly anticipated buy-one-get-one-free flash sale via the Klook platform starting promptly at 9:00 PM on January 22nd. This sale, running until January 28th (or while stocks last), allows patrons to secure reservations for dining dates between January 23rd and February 28th, 2026.
This promotion dramatically cuts the price for the extensive buffet menu. Dinner, originally priced around HK$1,668 for two (including service charge), will be available from an appealing HK$455 per person.
The Astor, famous for its seven dedicated food zones, is elevating its offerings with a special K-pop culinary theme running from January 12th to March 29th. Diners who secure this deal will be able to feast for three full hours on an unlimited selection of:**
- Premium Seafood: Fresh oysters, succulent crab legs, and bread crab.
- Signature Dishes: Australian top-grade ribeye and Japanese sashimi.
- K-Pop Specialties: Unlimited servings of Korean fried chicken (including sweet and sour variations), honey butter lobster, braised pork trotters (Jokbal), and Korean roasted beef (Bulgogi).
This flash sale specifically covers both lunch (12:00 PM – 2:30 PM) and dinner (6:30 PM – 9:30 PM) dining slots. Interested diners are strongly advised to prepare for the 9:00 PM launch on January 22nd, as such highly discounted tickets are expected to sell out rapidly.
