Frommer's Review
One of the largest department-store chains in Japan (its Tokyo store is the third-largest department store in the world), this was Seibu's first store to open outside Japan. An upscale, sophisticated department store targeting Hong Kong's affluent yuppie population, it is the epitome of chic, from its Art Deco Italian furnishings to fashions from the world's top design houses. More than 65% of its merchandise is European, and 25% is from Japan. The Loft department carries well-designed housewares and gifts, while Seed is the place to go for the latest fashions. The food department in the basement is especially good, stocking many imported items that are not available elsewhere in Hong Kong; it's also a good choice in inexpensive dining, with various counters specializing in international fare. It's open Sunday through Wednesday from 10:30am to 8pm and Thursday through Saturday from 10:30am to 9pm. There's a small branch in the Windsor House, 311 Gloucester Rd., Causeway Bay (tel. 852/2890 0333; MTR: Causeway Bay).
