Diners got their fill one last time as a decades-old food court in high-end supermarket City’super in Hong Kong’s Times Square shopping centre served its final customers on Sunday.
The closure of the Amazing Food Hall, located in the basement of the upscale Causeway Bay shopping and office complex, marked the end of an era for the premium supermarket chain’s dining ventures.
The food court, popular for its offerings of sushi, grilled meats, noodle dishes, a well-stocked wine and sake cellar, and a variety of international delicacies, officially ceases operations on Monday.
The space will be handed back to the landlord following the lease's expiry, the Post earlier reported.
A small notice displayed at the entrance informed customers of the closure “due to operational changes”.
The food hall was packed with regulars and occasional or new diners – some unaware it was their final chance to enjoy the venue.
Cindy Kwong, a retiree in her sixties who previously worked in marketing, said she had been a loyal patron for six years, often visiting five times a week as her yoga classes were nearby.
“It’s really a pity,” she said, adding that she cherished the food court’s oyster bar.
“This was the only City’super in Hong Kong with an oyster bar. That gave it an edge, actually. It’s like I always need to go to the oyster bar in [luxury department store] Harrods when I visit London.”

A man in his sixties recalled that he and his wife would go to the food court while dating, and later they would bring their young children there.
The best thing about the place was its accessibility and all the shops around, he said.
“They’re not closing because they weren’t doing well. It’s the changing patterns of consumerism in Hong Kong,” he said as he left with several boxes of takeaway.
A customer named Chow, in her thirties, said she often used the space for breaks and studying.
“It was the most comfortable spot in the area,” she said. “This place gave me motivation to study [my Chinese metaphysics classes].”
An employee told the Post that a smaller catering area would be launched in mid- to late September. He added that not many staff were affected by the food court’s closure.
The closure follows City’super’s decision to close its 22-year-old CookedDeli food hall at Harbour City in Tsim Sha Tsui in February last year. The chain cited shifting consumer patterns and its long-term strategic goals as reasons behind the exits.
City’super opened its first flagship store in Times Square in December 1996.
