Food lovers in Kowloon Bay now have a compelling reason to head to Tak Fu Plaza, where more than a dozen dining outlets serve everything from classic Chinese banquets to modern Korean fare and hearty American burgers. This recently updated guide spotlights the mall’s culinary diversity, making it a go-to destination for casual meals, family celebrations, and Instagram-worthy dishes.
A World of Flavors Under One Roof
Tak Fu Plaza brings together renowned brands and emerging concepts across several floors. Diners can start with iconic Chinese options: Beijing House offers the famed Peking duck with crispy skin and tender meat, plus the lesser-known “Fortune Chicken” that impresses regulars. For elevated Cantonese cuisine, Lei Garden presents premium ingredients like abalone and bird’s nest in refined set menus, backed by decades of culinary innovation.
Across the mall, Japanese specialties abound. Butahage brings Hokkaido’s tonkatsu tradition with its award-winning “Tokachi Specialty Rare Pork Bowl,” using a secret sauce passed down for over 80 years. Ramen enthusiasts can choose between Metro Tonkotsu Base, a sister brand of Tokyo Tonkotsu Base, featuring a rich seafood-tonkotsu broth, or Jiyuryu, whose “free-style” ramen reinvents the bowl with creamy chicken paitan and house-made chashu. Meanwhile, Chisoya channels a true izokaya vibe with Fukuoka direct-ship sashimi and Nagoya-style fried chicken wings.
On the Korean front, Terrace In Seaside—originally from Incheon—creates a Jeju garden atmosphere with wood and greenery, serving waffles, Jeju citrus yogurt, and cheesy fried chicken. Jeju BBQ Restaurant offers premium grilled meats, including pineapple-marinated wagyu brisket, paired with unlimited banchan and attentive service.
Western cravings are satisfied at b.o.t.h By Texas Burger, where the signature Texas BBQ cheeseburger and wood-fired New York–style pizzas deliver bold, smoky flavors. Vegetarian versions are also available. For something more playful, Niku Niku Rice lets guests watch as wagyu-beef patties are seared on a hot stone and finished with custom sauces.
Southeast Asian Comfort Food
Rounding out the lineup, Asam Chicken Rice blends Singaporean and Malaysian influences. Its silky Hainanese chicken and fragrant rice are complemented by laksa, Penang prawn noodles, and beef rendang—a mini tour of the region in one meal.
