Hong Kong cancels Yuen Long restaurant licence after eight convictions
Hong Kong’s Food and Environmental Hygiene Department has cancelled the licence of Kwong Wing Restaurant in Yuen Long after the operator was convicted eight times in one day in August 2026 and accumulated 65 demerit points.
The Food and Environmental Hygiene Department of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government announced on 9 November 2026 that it has cancelled the licence of a restaurant in Yuen Long.
The restaurant, named Kwong Wing Restaurant, is located at Shop B, G/F, Siu Ming Building, 10-12 Hong Lok Road, and 44, 46 and 50 Kau Yuk Road in Yuen Long.
A department spokesman said the restaurant operator was convicted eight times in court on 8 August 2026 for breaches of regulations, and was fined a total of HK$4,000. The department also recorded 65 demerit points against the licence holder under the Demerit Points System, leading to the cancellation of the licence.
The spokesman reminded all food business operators that they must comply with the Food Business Regulation and all licensing and permit conditions. Failure to do so may result in the suspension or cancellation of their licences.
Licensed food premises are required to display their licences and notices indicating that they are licensed in a prominent location for identification. Members of the public can also check the list of licensed food premises on the department’s website.
