What Is The Kowloon Restaurant?
Kowloon Restaurant, located in Saugus, Massachusetts, was established by the Wong Family in the 1950s under the name The Mandarin House. In 1958, Madeline and Bill Wong purchased the restaurant from the original owners, beginning the second generation of family ownership and renaming it Kowloon Restaurant and Cocktail Lounge.
The business began to expand, and over the course of 73 years, the restaurant increased its seating capacity from 50 customers to 1200. In 2001, Madeline and Bill Wong were inducted into the Hospitality Hall of Fame by the Massachusetts Restaurant Association. Kowloon is now operated by the third generation of the Wong family. With a combined 60,000 likes and followers on social media, Kowloon is clearly a beloved community favorite.
Kowloon Restaurant has recently been in the news thanks to John Cena sending the owner a special gift- a pair of signed sneakers! Kowloon Restaurant has a long history of hosting famous guests, and the owner is proud to add Carmelo Hayes to the list.
