Hong Kong’s Harbour Plaza Group has rolled out a bold dining promotion at its Lee Theatre Plaza location in Causeway Bay, offering a flat 50 percent discount on the entire dim sum and selected small-dish menu during designated morning and afternoon tea hours. Available seven days a week—excluding public holidays—the deal brings high-end Cantonese fare within reach of budget-conscious diners, with tea charges set at just HK$14 per person.
The offer, announced by the Harbour Plaza Group via its official Facebook page, applies to every item listed on the dim sum paper—from har gow (shrimp dumplings) and siu mai to cheung fun (rice noodle rolls) and beef balls—as well as a selection of chef-curated small dishes. For diners accustomed to paying full price at upscale Chinese restaurants, the promotion marks a rare opportunity to sample premium dim sum at half the usual cost.
“This is a straightforward, no-nonsense discount,” said a representative for the group. “We want to make our dim sum accessible to more people, whether they’re regulars or first-time visitors.”
Timing Is Everything
The promotion operates within two strict windows each day:
- Morning tea session: 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM (noon)
- Afternoon tea session: 2:00 PM to 3:30 PM
During these periods, the set prices listed on the specific morning or afternoon dim sum menus are automatically halved at checkout. The offer is valid Monday through Sunday, but excludes all public holidays and festival days—a detail diners should note before making plans.
One caveat: customers must order and settle their bills within the promotional hours to qualify. To avoid disappointment, the restaurant advises arriving early, especially on weekends when queues can form.
Location and Booking Details
The promotion is exclusive to the Harbour Plaza at Lee Theatre Plaza, located on the 22nd floor of 99 Percival Street in Causeway Bay. The venue is a short walk from Causeway Bay MTR station (Exit A). For reservations, the group has set up a dedicated booking hotline at 2110 2068.
“We’ve already seen strong interest from nearby office workers and retirees who love a good yum cha deal,” added the representative. “Booking ahead is strongly recommended.”
Wider Context: A Competitive Dining Landscape
The Harbour Plaza discount arrives amid an increasingly aggressive promotional environment in Hong Kong’s food and beverage sector. Across the city, chain restaurants and independent eateries alike are slashing prices to attract diners during slower daytime hours. In recent weeks, other chain restaurants have offered deep discounts on signature dishes, including a HK$1 winter melon soup promotion and a HK$6.8 salted water chestnut dumpling deal at select outlets.
For consumers, this trend represents a golden age of value dining—particularly in the upscale dim sum segment, where a full meal for two can easily exceed HK$400 without discounts. With Harbour Plaza’s half-price offer, a comparable experience now costs significantly less, making it an attractive option for families, seniors, and young professionals seeking an affordable indulgent lunch.
Seizing the opportunity means planning ahead. Arrive early, book a table where possible, and remember that the discount applies only to the specific dim sum and small-dish items listed on the promotional menus—not to à la carte specials, beverages, or add-ons.
