The Island Shangri-La’s celebrated dining destination cafe TOO is launching a three-day flash promotion from July 20 to 22, offering buy-two-get-two-free deals that slash per-person prices to as low as HK$284 for its “Taste of Japan” buffet, featuring A5 Wagyu, freshly steamed lobster, oysters, and Hokkaido sea urchin.
Hong Kong’s competitive buffet scene has a clear heavyweight contender. Cafe TOO, the consistently packed restaurant perched on the seventh floor of Pacific Place, has responded to overwhelming demand with an audacious summer flash sale that food lovers simply cannot ignore. For three days only, diners can secure spot at the five-star spread for less than the cost of a casual dinner in Central.
The promotion, running from 11:00 AM on July 20 through July 22 via the Shangri-La Boutique online platform, covers dining from July 23 through August 31. Choose your tactical approach: the headline buy-two-get-two-free deal applies to Monday-through-Thursday lunch sessions, while a buy-two-get-one-free option extends across all days, including weekends and public holidays, for both lunch and dinner service.
Five Themed Stations Define the “Taste of Japan” Experience
The summer buffet concept transforms cafe TOO into a curated culinary journey through Japan, organized across five distinctive zones:
- Japanese Sashimi and Sushi Station: Daily air-flown fish sliced to order by dedicated sushi chefs
- Washoku Delights Station: An array of elegant hot dishes and bar snacks
- Japanese Wagyu Station (Dinner Only): Premium marbled beef that melts on contact
- Ramen Station: Broth-heavy bowls prepared fresh on the spot
- Dessert Station: Matcha-infused sweets and traditional wagashi
Beyond the Japanese theme, the restaurant maintains its beloved signature offerings. Evening service continues to feature freshly steamed lobster and oysters, alongside rotating roasts—lamb leg on weekdays, upgraded to lamb rack and classic Chinese roast duck on weekends and public holidays.
Luxury Upgrades for the Discerning Diner
For those seeking an elevated experience, July brings an expanded menu of premium add-ons:
- Whole Hokkaido sea urchin board: HK$1,388
- A5 Miyazaki Wagyu: HK$268
- Ebisu oysters (six pieces): HK$418
- Premium seafood platter (for two): HK$888
- Japanese sake unlimited drinking package: HK$298 per person
Pricing Context and Availability
Standard buffet rates typically range from HK$568 for weekday lunch to HK$988 for weekend dinner. The flash promotion effectively reduces the per-person cost by nearly half, contingent on availability and table configurations.
Cafe TOO operates lunch from 12:30 PM to 2:30 PM on weekdays and 12:00 PM to 3:00 PM on weekends. Dinner runs from 6:30 PM to 10:00 PM daily.
Address: 7/F, Pacific Place, 88 Queensway, Hong Kong. Reservations and inquiries: (852) 2820 8571.
The Bottom Line
This represents one of the most aggressive buffet discounts seen in Hong Kong this summer. Industry observers note that such flash sales reflect both the competitive landscape of hotel dining and the enduring appetite for value-driven luxury experiences. For diners, the window is narrow: mark July 20 at 11:00 AM, prepare for digital queues, and move quickly. The best deals—particularly the buy-two-get-two-free weekday lunch slots—are expected to sell out within hours.
