Came with my daughter to catch up and check in. We both craved a poopoo platter. Our waiter Chris was fantastic. Attentive, quick, attention to detail and excellent customer service. The kitchen did a great job preparing the food because it was fantastic. BUT OMG SO MUCH FOOD! For the price they give you heavy portions enough to feed a larger family. Lots to bring home. Come in Sunday and Monday nights and ask for Chris. You’re guaranteed to have an amazing experience! Love this place, been coming with my family for 2 decades!

This was my first time at Kowloon. Valentines day 2026. What a fantastic experience. The wait staff was excellent. The Host and Hostess were efficient. The food was of a great quality and the portion sizes were above and beyond. I highly recommend Kowloon

Had a really great experience at Kowloon Restaurant with my mom. I don’t come here often because it’s super fancy, but it was definitely worth it. HUGE PORTIONS. Our waiter Chris (who works Sunday and Monday nights) was amazing: super nice, really funny, and made the whole experience even better. If you get Chris as your server, make sure to tip him well because he absolutely deserves it!

This place is awesome!! Been around since 1950! The Wong family still keeps up this restaurant with pride! My mom has been coming here since the 1970s. I been coming here every year when I’m in the Saugus MA area. My first time here was the early 1990s. I’m reviewing this right now sitting on the plane heading to Boston! We will be there soon!! My mom and I come every October as our first stop before heading up to Ogunquit Maine for our vacation.
We love sitting by the water fountain. But when we also like sitting at the bar with our Mai tais and food as well. First thing we order is Mai tais!! So tasty!
I get the roast pork wonton soup, and my go to dish, shrimp & lobster sauce, dark style! My mom loves the roast pork strips, chicken fingers and the roast pork fried rice! If you have not ever tried this place you should!!

Growing up this was the place! Iconic old school chinese…So sad they’re goung to be closing and a craving for some takeout this was the obvious answer…..I don’t know ow what happened to the place I loved so much but this wasn’t it. The rice was just unflavored mush!!! The chicken fingers were these small chunks crammed in the container so they all morphed into 1 giant finger! The ckn wings were strange and fatty. My husband did say his dumplings were good. Overall for 100 bucks was totally not worth it. I always see negative reviews on social media but I didn’t realize it had gone that far downhill… I’m totally bummed. There is no where to get that old school chinese food from anymore. Matters well live in Florida

We had a great time at Kowloon. The Saugus Wings were so good. The batter on the chicken fingers was light and crispy while the chicken was juicy. We had 3 different dishes of beef and chicken and shrimp all were to die for.

Decided to go here for dinner on a Thursday night and heard some rumors of it going downhill and not as good as it was. Who ever has been downplaying Kowloon is just lying. Food was HOT and FRESH. Atmosphere was just as I remember from years ago. Service was quick and fantastic. All of the above. If you hadn’t been back in a while it’s still the MECCA of Chinese restaurants.

I want to be clear: Kowloon is not a “very good restaurant” according to typical culinary standards. Instead, Kowloon is a spectacle, and of all restaurants in this category, it might be the best.
If Kowloon was a music festival, it would be the Gathering of the Juggalos.
As I entered, I was immediately overwhelmed by the scale and enormity of it all. The parking lot fits what seems like hundreds of cars. There was a party upstairs. The restaurant seemed full. The bar looked poppin. This is the same restaurant that famously was the site of a parking lot brawl on Thanksgiving in 2024, and how this happened suddenly makes sense when you are met with the sensory assault that is Kowloon.
If Kowloon was a movie, it would be Uncut Gems
Even though the restaurant seats 1,200 people, waiting area was slammed. We had a reservation but we jockeyed past patrons in disarray around the waitstaff booth. It was dark, it was noisy. We said we were here for the reservation under “Adam” but simultaneously they were tending to a reservation for “Dan”. On our way to the table our hostess got in a brief argument with a host about table allocations. As we walked in, we were greeted by a 10(?) yard long fountain illuminated by colorful lights.
Then she left us at the wrong table. No matter, it was about the right area and we found our party, next to a painted mural of a mountainside on the ocean that spanned the length of the dining area, corner to corner. Overhead hung nautical themed decorations, including a literal boat.
If Kowloon was a musical artist, it would be Amy Winehouse
Our server handled our party of 10+ people handily. The effort of taking orders in the din of the restaurant was palpable by the sweat on his brow. He was always kind and attentive despite the chaotic environment.
The menu is overwhelming, featuring Polynesian, Sichuan, Thai, and Japanese fare. The menu names are incredible. Gyoza are referred to as “ravioli”. There is a dish called “seafood exotic fantasy” (I can recommend). A high point here is the “Chinese American” fare—orange chicken, the pupu platter, lo mein, fried rice. All the peak expression of their kind. I started my meal with a Mai Tai, which was honestly the least exciting thing I consumed that night—serviceable, but a bit watery, warm, and sort of bland. For dinner, we ordered the PuPu Platter, which came with a a stone crucible filled with jellied fuel, which our server lit ablaze after setting it down before us. The PuPu platter is excellent. It comes with tender Chinese BBQ ribs, lightly battered “chicken fingers”, similarly battered shrimp (tails removed for your convenience), a single, fat egg roll cut into 3 pieces, and several crispy chicken wings. We got the upgraded version with beer teriyaki skewers for $10 more. We also got the garlic broccoli, which came coated in a spicy peanut garlic sauce. Between my wife and I, it was an enormous amount of food—the leftovers sufficed to feed us for another meal. It’s not perfect—for one, I’d have liked some more sauce than the little bowls of sweet and sour and mustard sauce at the table. However expensive, I frankly feel like I got my money’s worth in terms of the quality and quantity of food.
As our night ended, we reveled in seeing the expanse of the dining area as hundreds of people dined amidst the dozens of servers. As we exited, music was playing in the bar, and the police were stationed near the waitstaff, keeping the peace that was left. And as I left, I felt tremendous enthusiasm for this restaurant, and thought “the logo on this takeout bag is really cool, I’d wear a sweater with it”, at which point I turned to my left and saw a tremendous glass case filled with Kowloon branded swag. Ultimately, I didn’t buy a shirt, but I now have another reason to come back.
Rumor has it, Kowloon will soon be shut down and replaced by a new, smaller Kowloon. However sensible the idea likely is, I think it’s a tremendous shame that such an enormous bustling place like Kowloon would become no more.

I went to this restaurant on feb 3rd with my fiance . Thinking that this would be the best experience but unfortunately not . Our sever was very rude mind you this is our first time being at this establishment so we didn’t know how certain things works . I ask for sushi and the server gave me attitude and said “honey we don’t start that until 4 pm it’s always been like this “ my bad again this is my first time here . Then my fiance asked for a certain Asian beer and instead of going to check she just said nope we don’t have it . Racially profiled him and said would you like a Hispanic beer just because my fiance looks Hispanic . He respectfully declined and was like no I can choose my own beer thank you. There was hair in our food the server threw the wet wipes on the table same with the plates . As we were trying to pay for the check the server kept on eyeing us to see if we left a tip which we did . But she was eager to take it which I found it like they were rushing us . Then as we were walking out that same beer I mentioned above they had 6 boxes of them in each fridge near our table so I will never be going back to this establishment again
