Discover Kowloon Restaurant Aruba, one of Aruba's longstanding Chinese restaurants, serving the island since 1975. Located on Emmastraat in Oranjestad, Kowloon has developed a loyal local following while welcoming visitors looking for traditional Chinese cooking away from the main resort-dining scene. The restaurant emphasizes quality ingredients, generous portions, attentive service, and a broad selection of Chinese flavors.
The menu covers several Chinese culinary traditions, including Cantonese, Szechuan, Hunan, Peking, Shanghai, and Hong Kong-style dishes. Guests can choose from soups, egg rolls, dumplings, seafood, chicken, pork, beef, noodles, chop suey, chow mein, fried rice, and sweet-and-sour specialties.
For groups, Kowloon's Chinese Rice Table is an especially appealing option. The set meal brings several dishes to the table—including soup, beef with vegetables, Chinese-style roast chicken, sweet-and-sour pork, fish, fried rice, and dessert—making it an easy way to sample multiple flavors in one sitting.
Kowloon also has a distinctly local character. The restaurant has remained family-owned and operated by the Arends family since its opening, and its history describes it as a gathering place for Aruban families, particularly on weekends. Its private dining room and catering services also make it suitable for celebrations, business functions, weddings, and larger groups.
