Kowloon Restaurant
Kowloon Restaurant is a pan-Asian restaurant in Saugus, Massachusetts. The restaurant serves a range of Chinese, Cantonese, Sichuan, Japanese, Thai, and Polynesian, and dishes in several themed dining rooms and lounges. Kowloon was called one of the best Chinese restaurants in New England by Boston television station WHDH in 2004.
Visiting the restaurant is a tradition for many New England families on birthdays, anniversaries, and graduations. It is also considered a top destination for fans of tiki culture and has been a stop on organized tours. The restaurant has been owned through three generations of the same family.
Kowloon Restaurant is in Saugus, Massachusetts, a short distance north of Boston. It is a landmark along U.S. Route 1. The property spans 5 acres (2.0 ha).
The restaurant exterior includes a 30 ft (9.1 m) tiki statue above its entrance. The first floor holds a bar, while the second has a showroom stage where Jerry Seinfeld, Frankie Avalon and Phyllis Diller have performed. Comedian and actor Dane Cook is a noted fan, and stated that he has performed there several hundred times.
The restaurant has about 1,200 seats in total. Themed areas include a lagoon, tiki-hut-shaped booths, and a fake ship deck.
The Mandarin House restaurant opened August 22, 1950, in a converted ice cream parlor on the Newburyport Turnpike with a menu of a few dozen Chinese and American dishes. The dining room could hold 40-50 customers. In 1958 Madeline and William Wong bought out the first-generation owners and began the second generation of family ownership of the restaurant. They changed the name to Kowloon Restaurant and Cocktail Lounge and began to grow the business.
In the next 50 years, the family added five additions to the original building and increased the capacity to accommodate 1,200 customers. Diners can choose from a number of themed dining rooms including the Volcano Bay Room, the Tiki Lagoon, the Mandarin Room, the Thai Grille, or the Hong Kong Lounge. Private events and a comedy club use the Luau Room.
The menu has grown as the restaurant has added new dishes to keep up with the evolving American palate. First Polynesian dishes, then Chinese when Joyce Chen became popular, more Chinese when Nixon went to China, even more Chinese when Sichuan became popular, then Thai, and then Japanese and sushi. Guests now choose from a menu of nearly 300 items.
