Cafe Kowloon is a modern Cantonese kitchen in London Fields, offering traditional Hong Kong dishes with a contemporary twist. It's part of the '6 of 1' group, known for popular London eateries like Mr Bao and Wonton Charlie's. The restaurant is located in atmospheric railway arches, featuring a thoughtfully designed interior with neon signs. Its exterior sign cleverly disguises the venue as Wonton Charlie's during the day, revealing Cafe Kowloon at night.
Customers generally praise Cafe Kowloon for its delicious and well-presented food, good service, and interesting modern take on Cantonese classics. Many appreciate the nostalgic yet contemporary flavors, with highlights including the curry fish ball, char siu, and prawn toast. The ambiance and design are also frequently commended. However, some Hong Kong-native reviewers found certain dishes, like the char siu, to be disappointing in terms of texture and flavor, and felt portions were small for the price, suggesting the food can be 'hit and miss' for those seeking traditional authenticity without a modern twist.
Cafe Kowloon is operated by the '6 of 1' team, a hospitality group behind several well-known London restaurants including Wonton Charlie's, Mr Bao, Daddy Bao, Good Measure, and Master Bao.
Cafe Kowloon is open Tuesday to Friday from 5:30 PM to 11:00 PM for dinner, and on Saturdays from 12:00 PM to 3:00 PM for lunch, and 5:30 PM to 11:00 PM for dinner. It is closed on Sundays and Mondays.
