Hong Kong Restaurant
About
Known around Cambridge as “The Kong,” Hong Kong Restaurant is a Chinese restaurant, bar and karaoke spot in Harvard Square. Jimmy (Sen) Lee and Mary (Buoy) Lee opened it in 1954, and seven decades later it remains a Harvard Square institution that has fed generations of Cambridge families and college students. Alongside its full Chinese menu, the business has a bar and what its listing calls Harvard Square’s largest dance club.
The founders’ son, Paul Lee, grew up in the restaurant and now runs it as the second-generation owner, and the business is still family owned and operated. The family invites guests to come for food, drink and karaoke. The bar is equipped with six TVs, and the full menu is available for take-out, with delivery offered within the Cambridge area.
