Review

Overview · AI

The Empire Hotel Kowloon is a 4-star property in Kowloon, valued for its strategic location and transport links. Guests consistently commend the friendly staff, who often offer room upgrades and provide free mobile phones and WiFi. The breakfast selection is highlighted as varied and tasty. However, reviews note that rooms can be small and facilities somewhat dated, with occasional issues like odors, fixed AC temperatures, and bathroom drainage. Despite these drawbacks, the hotel remains popular for its service quality and convenience. It is well-suited for travelers prioritizing location and hospitality over spacious, modern rooms. Business and leisure guests who appreciate complimentary tech amenities and attentive service will find it appealing. Those sensitive to compact spaces or older fixtures should weigh these factors. The hotel balances strong service and location with some physical limitations, offering a practical stay for cost-conscious or service-focused visitors.

Chef Kin’s stints at famous sushi-ya in Hong Kong and Japan explain his exceptional sushi making skills and artistry. According to the oiliness of each fish, he pairs it with rice dressed in one of his two vinegar blends. A single omakase menu is served, composed entirely of ingredients flown in from Japan, such as umami-laden kuruma prawn that is perfectly cooked and boasts bouncy, juicy flesh. The lunchtime menu is a bargain. By reservation only.

Thanks to his considerable experience and skilfully executed dishes, the head chef has been enticing diners back here for over a decade. Named after the owner, the signature Ah Yung abalone is slowly braised in a secret sauce for up to 20 hours. Fried hump-head garoupa served in a claypot is perfumed with ginger, garlic, scallion and cilantro and boasts bouncy skin and crisp tasty meat. The dining room feels elegant and relaxing.

Leopard coral grouper can be steamed with ginger and scallion, shredded pork and mushrooms, or deboned and sautéed with dried tangerine peel and olive-pickled mustard leaves.
