50 workers seek HK$600,000 in unpaid wages as another restaurant set to close in Hong Kong

About 50 workers are chasing at least HK$600,000 (US$76,437) in unpaid wages as another Chinese restaurant prepares to shut down next month, amid a string of closures in the Hong Kong catering sector.

A notice announcing the imminent closure was posted at Star Seafood and Roasted Goose Restaurant branch at Chuk Yuen Plaza in Wong Tai Sin.

“Due to lease expiration, we plan to close our business on August 1, 2025,” Star Seafood Restaurant Group said.

The restaurant has five operating branches, including the one set to shut down.

The branches are under Star Seafood Restaurant Group, which was established in 2000, and also operates other brands in Hong Kong, such as Star Seafood Restaurant, Golden Star Restaurant and Star Palace.

Lawmaker Lam Chun-sing of the Federation of Hong Kong and Kowloon Labour Unions said on Saturday the closure affected the restaurant’s 40 to 50 employees.
