While I don't agree with this assignation nor desire to begin a discussion on the best lounges world wide I will posit that this is the best UA lounge. Detente,

Look, it’s not the LH first lounge/terminal, the concord room, the La Priemier Lounge at CDG, the QF lounge at LAX/MEL/SYD, or even the EK F lounges in DXB. But I will say that I preferred being in the Global Firsr than the rest of the *A F lounges in HKG.

Flew out of HKG this morning. Checked out Plaza Premium, Amex, United Club, Thai, Singapore SilverKris during breakfast time. Terminal 1 is kind of a Y shape and passengers start at the foot of the Y. The SilverKris lounge is near the foot of the Y, whereas the other 4 lounges are basically together at where the Y forks. It's about a 5 minute walk or you can go take the train.
Plaza Premium: busiest of the 5 lounges. has the noodle bar.
United Club: in my opinion, the other 4 lounges had comparably good food and UC fell short. UC was especially underwhelming in terms of asian/chinese food items.
Thai and SilverKris also had ice cream. SilverKris also had 豆腐脑, a tofu dessert item. Thai and SilverKris were the quietest, maybe 10 passengers in the lounge.

It really depends on what you're after. If you want a shower UC seems to be the only *A lounge option. OTOH if food is what you're after then SQ and to a lesser extent TG are the best options.
