1. What is EatStreet PentaLounge?
EatStreet is the signature restaurant and lounge at Pentahotel Hong Kong in Mong Kok, occupying expansive ground and lobby-level space. The venue combines industrial-chic design with modern touches — soaring ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, and an open kitchen — creating an atmosphere that's elegant without being stuffy: more upscale than typical chain restaurants, but more relaxed than fine dining.
The connected PentaLounge bar area serves curated cocktails, craft beers, and light bites, perfect for an aperitif before meals or a nightcap after. The two spaces flow seamlessly — grab a pre-dinner drink at the lounge, then move to EatStreet for the buffet. It's the hotel's answer to the "one-stop dining experience" concept.
For visitors, the main appeal is straightforward: four-star hotel quality at three-star hotel prices. Comparable international buffets at five-star hotels in Tsim Sha Tsui or Central run HK$500–800, but Pentahotel's Mong Kok location (lower rent) means more competitive pricing. Add a Klook discount and the value proposition is unbeatable.
2. Menus & Package Details
Lunch Buffet
Served daily 12:00–2:30 pm, featuring international cuisine. Typical offerings include:
- Japanese station: fresh sashimi (salmon, tuna, sweet shrimp), sushi rolls, miso soup;
- Western station: grilled beef steak, roasted spring chicken, cheese lobster bake, pasta;
- Chinese station: dim sum, roasted specialties, stir-fried rice and noodles, herbal soups;
- Southeast Asian station: Thai tom yum, Vietnamese pho, satay skewers;
- Dessert station: French pastries, ice cream, fresh fruit platters, chocolate fountain.
The menu rotates seasonally with themed buffets (seafood festivals, wagyu nights, mango specials, etc.), keeping things fresh.
Dinner Buffet
Served daily 6:00–9:30 pm, with upgraded offerings compared to lunch:
- Seafood station: freshly shucked oysters, clams, chilled crab legs;
- Grill station: live-fire beef steak, lamb racks, pork ribs;
- Premium desserts: expanded artisanal selection, some evenings feature unlimited sparkling wine pairings.
Friday–Sunday dinners typically cost HK$30–50 more than weekday dinners, with ingredient upgrades (lobster, abalone, and other premium items added), making the premium well justified.

- Choice of tea or coffee (multiple varieties available);
- Seasonal special menus align with holidays (Christmas, Valentine's, Easter, etc.).
At HK$148 via Klook, this is the best value five-star afternoon tea in Hong Kong — The Peninsula charges HK$500+.
Semi-Buffet Package
For those wanting variety without overindulgence: one main course (your choice from the menu) + unlimited salad bar, dessert, and soup. Mains include beef steak, fish fillet, pasta, risotto, etc.
