Kowloon Expanding Into New Hampshire This Summer!
That’s right! Kowloon New Hampshire is coming! This is not a drill. However, there are a couple caveats.
Kowloon opened way back in 1950. Back then it was known as Mandarin House and sat around 45 people comfortably. Almost 75 years later, Kowloon (after a name change) seats 1200 and has settled into New England lore. The Saugus Wings alone are legendary and a must try for anyone living in the Boston area. And they’re not just an Asian cuisine restaurant. They’re a comedy club. They’re a pro-wrestler post-show hang. They’re a piece of the fiber of New England and especially the Boston area.
The Wong family owns Kowloon and after almost 75 years they’ve decided that it’s finally time to expand. Kowloon is currently working on a collaboration which will bring Kowloon to New Hampshire for the first time ever. The Brook in Seabrook, NH announced on Monday that a new Asian dining concept is coming to its casino-entertainment venue this summer from the makers of the iconic Kowloon, aka the Wong family.
Will Kowloon New Hampshire be twinsies with Kowloon Saugus?
From what we understand the new concept will NOT be a photocopy of the original. Seems like a good idea, duplicating something so local and beloved elsewhere could be challenging and water down the specialness of the OG. There will be things from the Kowloon menu on the new menu – but it won’t be the same menu at all. It will feel like Kowloon while also feeling different.
What will Kowloon New Hampshire be called?
No name yet, no menu released yet. But Mai Tai’s and Scorpion Bowls have been confirmed so that’s already a pretty good start. I’ll also place a short bet that those wildly famous Saugus Wings will be on the new menu. Will they get a New Hampshire-centric name change? God I hope not. They’re SAUGUS Wings, dang it!
