In a strategic move to revitalize the local dining scene and retain Hong Kong customers, the chain restaurant Kai Hoi Restaurant has launched an aggressive promotional campaign. With an increasing number of Hong Kong residents traveling north for weekend dining, the establishment is fighting back with a “Four Major Royal Card Offers” campaign, featuring premium dishes starting at just HK$18.
The promotion, valid immediately through April 30, 2026, targets families and neighborhood regulars at their Ngau Tau Kok branch in On Kay Mall. By offering luxury ingredients at neighborhood prices, the restaurant aims to provide a cost-effective alternative to cross-border dining without compromising on food quality.
Unbeatable Weekday and Weekend Pricing
The highlight of the campaign is the dramatic price reduction on high-demand seafood and poultry dishes. The promotional structure is designed to incentivize weekday dining while offering accessible pricing on weekends.
According to the released details, the following signature dishes are available at unprecedented rates:
- Steamed Sabah Giant Grouper: Originally priced at HK$168, this premium fish is available for HK$18 on weekdays (Monday to Friday) and HK$28 on weekends and public holidays.
- Crispy Pigeon (Halved): A dim sum favorite, offered at HK$18 per bird on weekdays and HK$28 on weekends.
- Boiled Prawns: Priced by the catty, fresh prawns are available for HK$18 on weekdays and HK$28 on weekends.
- Peking Duck: A classic carved tableside for HK$88 on weekdays and HK$98 on weekends.
Diners should note that tables are limited to selecting one promotional item per visit. This restriction allows the kitchen to maintain quality control while offering a “tasting menu” approach to premium dining at a fraction of the standard cost.
Supporting the Silver-Hair Community
Beyond attracting family gatherings, Kai Hoi Restaurant has implemented specific measures to support the elderly population. Recognizing that tea charges can accumulate for seniors on fixed incomes, the restaurant has introduced a HK$2 tea charge for elderly diners.
Holders of the JoyYou Card (樂悠咭) or Senior Citizen Card can enjoy this reduced rate across morning, lunch, and afternoon tea sessions. This initiative provides a comfortable, air-conditioned environment for the “silver hair” demographic to enjoy traditional Yum Cha culture without the financial burden often associated with tea house dining.
Market Context and Additional Offerings
This move by Kai Hoi reflects a broader trend in the Hong Kong food and beverage industry. As consumer spending habits shift toward Shenzhen and neighboring cities, local establishments are compelled to offer deep discounts to maintain foot traffic.
In a similar vein, another establishment, Ju Man Kui in Tung Chung, has recently captured attention with a “Buy One Get One” style initiative, offering selected dishes for as low as HK$1 for parties of two or more. These simultaneous offers suggest a competitive landscape where value-for-money has become the primary driver for customer retention.
Plan Your Visit
For residents in the Ngau Tau Kok area or those seeking a budget-friendly weekend gathering, these offers present a timely opportunity. The promotion is strictly time-limited, running until the end of April next year, providing ample window for locals to revisit traditional Cantonese favorites.
- Location: Kai Hoi Restaurant, G/F & 1/F, 1R1, On Kay Mall, 20 Chun Wah Road, Ngau Tau Kok.
- Validity: Now until April 30, 2026.
As the industry continues to adapt to changing consumption patterns, diners stand to benefit from these localized pricing wars. Whether it is a weekday lunch for one or a family dinner, the return to neighborhood dining has never been more economically appealing.
