Kowloon Bay’s Telford Plaza has cemented itself as a dining destination, offering over ten restaurants that span Chinese banquet halls, Japanese ramen bars, Korean BBQ grills, American burger joints, and Southeast Asian hawker-style fare. Whether you’re planning a family dinner, a casual catch-up with friends, or a photo-worthy meal, this mall delivers a world of flavours under one roof.
The lineup includes established names like Beijing Lou and Lei Garden, alongside Korean import Terrace In Seaside, creative izakaya Chisoya, and the innovative ramen shop Jiyuryu. Here’s a curated guide to help you navigate the best bites.
Chinese Classics: Time-Honoured Elegance
Beijing Lou has long been a household name for authentic Peking duck. The restaurant’s signature dish features crackling skin and tender meat, earning accolades both locally and abroad. Another standout is the “Fugui Chicken” (Fortune Chicken), a clay-pot preparation that seals in rich flavours. The menu also blends northern and southern dim sum, making it ideal for large groups.
For a more refined Cantonese experience, Lei Garden has spent over three decades perfecting more than a thousand classic dishes. Their premium set menus showcase abalone, conch, and bird’s nest, balancing tradition with modern tastes. Regulars praise the restaurant’s consistency and elegant service.
Korean and Japanese Highlights: From Seoul to Tokyo
Terrace In Seaside brings the breezy vibe of Incheon’s cafés to Kowloon Bay. Its wood-and-plant décor mimics a Jeju orchard, while the menu leans toward Korean-style light meals. Favourites include Jeju citrus yoghurt, cheese-drenched fried chicken, and braised short rib omurice—all beautifully plated for social media.
Jeju BBQ House focuses on premium Korean barbecue. The pineapple wagyu beef belly, marinated in pineapple juice, balances sweetness with savoury richness. Unlimited refills of banchan (side dishes), along with egg rings on the grill and soybean paste stew, complete the experience.
For Japanese comfort, Tonkatsu no Butahage serves a Hokkaido-style pork bowl that won gold at Japan’s National Donburi Championship. The secret lies in an 80-year-old master sauce paired with top-grade Japanese pork. METRO Tonkotsu BASE offers a variety of pork bone broths, including a shrimp-infused tonkotsu ramen with slow-cooked chashu and curly noodles that grip the soup.
Chisoya is a Japanese-run izakaya that sources whole fish directly from Fukuoka for sashimi and sushi. The Nagoya-style fried chicken wings come with a secret soy glaze, while the wagyu sukiyaki hot pot with Inaniwa udon is a hearty winter favourite.
Jiyuryu breaks the ramen mould with a “free-style” approach. The tonkotsu broth is thick but not overly salty, and the creamy chicken paitan features a double-chashu topping of chicken and pork. Small bowls of mini donburi and poke add visual flair.
Western and Fusion: Burgers, Pizzas, and Wagyu Patties
b.o.t.h by Texas Burger specialises in American-style burgers and New York-style pizzas. The Texas BBQ cheese beef burger delivers a juicy patty with smoky sauce and melted cheese, while a plant-based version caters to vegetarians. Their house-made pizzas have a crispy-yet-chewy crust.
Nikuniku Rice focuses on wagyu hamburger steaks made from a blend of Kyushu black wagyu and American beef. The open kitchen allows diners to watch as the patties are seared to medium-rare, then finished on a hot stone at the table. Customisable sauces let you tailor each bite.
Southeast Asian Delights: A Taste of the Straits
Asam Chicken Rice combines Singaporean and Malaysian influences. Their signature Hainanese chicken rice features silky poached chicken and fragrant rice cooked in chicken broth. The menu also includes Singapore laksa, Penang prawn noodles, and beef rendang, offering a whirlwind tour of Southeast Asia.
