Another Chinese restaurant in Hong Kong has suddenly shut its doors, leaving dozens of employees unpaid.
Glorious Seafood Restaurant, located on the second floor of Cheung Sha Wan Plaza, pulled down its shutters Thursday night (July 31) and ceased operations starting today (August 1).
The Eating Establishment Employees General Union reported that around 50 workers—including five foreign laborers—have been left unpaid, with outstanding wages, severance pay, unpaid leave compensation, and notice payments totaling approximately HK$7 million. Many employees were not informed of the closure until the last minute.
The union this morning accompanied the affected workers to file a formal complaint with the Labour Department, demanding immediate payment of the owed wages and compensation.
According to records, the restaurant was operated by Glorious Group, which also ran another branch in Aberdeen. The abrupt closure has raised concerns over a potential wave of restaurant bankruptcies amid Hong Kong’s challenging economic climate.
This incident adds to growing anxieties in Hong Kong’s dining sector, where rising costs and reduced consumer spending have forced multiple eateries to close in recent months.
