Hong Kong’s popular chain eatery, Harbour Restaurant (海港酒樓), has quietly rolled out an unlimited-time seafood hotpot deal starting at HK$218 per person, available from Monday through Sunday without blackout dates. The all-inclusive package features 5 to 8 types of seasonal seafood, premium Angus beef, assorted hotpot sides, and unlimited selected beer—prompting food lovers across the city to take notice.
The offer, which kicked off recently at select Harbour Restaurant and Harbour King Fishery (海王漁港) locations in Tseung Kwan O, Lam Tin, and Ma On Shan, is designed to appeal to budget-conscious diners and large appetite seekers alike. Starting at 5:30 PM daily, the deal requires a minimum of two diners, with a 10% service charge added to the final bill. Children between 1 meter and 1.2 meters tall enjoy a half-price discount, while those under 1 meter dine for free—making it a practical option for families.
Five Star Ingredients That Justify the Price Tag
At the heart of this promotion is a curated selection of five food categories, each chosen to maximize value for diners. The centerpiece is A. Seasonal Seafood Platter, which changes daily and includes 5 to 8 varieties of fresh, live seafood sourced according to what’s in season. Next comes B. Choice of Four Soup Bases: diners can pick from Golden Mushroom Pork Bone Broth, Corn and Radish Soup, Cilantro and Century Egg Broth, or Japanese Konbu Soup.
For meat lovers, C. Premium Beef offers two tiers: standard diners receive unlimited servings of Angus beef at HK$218 per person, while those willing to splurge can upgrade to Japanese Black Wagyu for just HK$248 per person—a move that promises melt-in-the-mouth marbling and rich umami notes.
Each guest also receives D. Giant Dumpling, a generously stuffed handmade dumpling, and E. Seasonal Vegetables, a fresh platter to balance the meal. Beyond these highlights, a full range of standard hotpot ingredients—including fish balls, tofu, noodles, and more—is available for unlimited refills. Selected beer and soft drinks are also included in the price, adding further appeal for those who enjoy a cold beverage with their simmering pot.
Locations and Booking Details
The promotion is available only at three designated outlets:
- Harbour Restaurant: Tseung Kwan O Metro City Plaza Phase 1 and Lam Tin Kai Tin Road
- Harbour King Fishery: Ma On Shan Sunshine City
All locations serve the hotpot from 5:30 PM onward, seven days a week. Given the limited availability and high demand, the restaurant chain has urged customers to call ahead for reservations at 3516 8200. The offer is valid while stocks last, and terms are subject to change at the discretion of the restaurant group.
Context: A Competitive Market Heats Up
Hong Kong’s hotpot scene has long been fiercely competitive, with chains and independent eateries vying for customers through aggressive pricing and premium ingredient promises. This latest move by Harbour Restaurant Group appears timed to capture the end-of-month crowd—often referred to locally as “糧尾” (pre-payday) diners—who seek maximum satisfaction on a tighter budget.
Industry observers note that the inclusion of unlimited beer and seafood at this price point is relatively rare among established chain restaurants. “Most unlimited hotpot deals around the HK$200 to HK$250 range either cap the seafood portion or exclude alcohol,” said a food analyst familiar with the market. “By bundling seasonal seafood, premium beef, and beverages, Harbour is effectively lowering the barrier for a full hotpot experience.”
What This Means for Diners
For the average Hongkonger, this deal offers a rare opportunity to indulge in a hotpot feast without straining the wallet. The flexibility of Monday-to-Sunday availability also removes the typical weekend surcharge barrier, making it easier for office workers and families to plan spontaneous outings.
However, diners are advised to read the fine print carefully. The offer applies only to the specified branches, and reservations are strongly recommended to avoid disappointment. Additionally, while the base ingredients are generous, upgrades such as Japanese Wagyu come at an extra cost, and the 10% service charge applies to the total bill.
Looking Ahead: A Trend Worth Watching
As dining costs continue to rise across the city, value-driven promotions like this one may become more common among larger restaurant groups looking to maintain foot traffic. Whether this signals a broader shift toward affordable indulgence—or a short-term tactic to fill seats during quieter hours—remains to be seen.
For now, hotpot enthusiasts have a clear incentive to gather friends, book a table, and dive into a bubbling pot of seasonal seafood and premium beef. As one diner put it, “At this price, you’d be crazy not to try it at least once.”
