The name "Kowloon" — it's part of Hong Kong — means "nine dragons." And indeed this first, elaborate character in the restaurant's Chinese name, embellished with a head and tail, seems to be "loon," that is, "dragon." The balance of the characters, citing a southern Chinese province not far away, read "remember Guangdong cuisine." Perhaps "Guangdong cuisine the way you remember it" is more the connotation.
How Kowloon, a peninsula, might have been cut free from the Chinese mainland — at least in the translated, English name — I can't say.

I'm always a fan of trying Chinese takeout. Traveling often for work I've most certainly tried my fare share of restaurants. Not sure what it is about Chinese though, the cute little boxes or how well the food still tastes days later. I do however look for suggestions from others who have been and tried the cuisine. I just never know what I'll love unlike with American food I always have a go to food.
