For those of you concerned about the future of Kowloon, please watch Spike's interview with owner Bobby Wong. That's me chiming in, in the background. Just to reiterate, the giant Ku in the A-Frame was NOT carved by Leroy Schmaltz, in fact it's not even wood! It's construction foam and it was carved by a local artist or contractor. It was erroneously attributed to Leroy in a recent book. This should give you a better understanding of the reasoning behind the Wong family's decision. We did our best to convince Bobby to go full on Tiki in the new restaurant. Fingers crossed! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MlvLxOlAjH0
