| - We LOVE this place!!!
Let me start out by saying that I base my ratings off of comparison to similar businesses or expectation. So, i wouldn't compare a restaurant like Honk Kong to a fine dining Restaurant or a PF Chang's for that matter - completely different places. I compare Hong Kong to their competition, the other delivery-take-out/dine-in local, little Chinese food restaurants.
First off this place shouldn't be judged by it's cover: in an old Taco Bell location, in a run-down strip mall, in a little-to-be-desired corner of town. Sadly, the exterior gives you the first warning, then the interior will make you question why you didn't heed the first warning, but hopefully can get passed all of that and get to the good stuff!
We are addicted to: the MONGOLIAN BEEF(tasty beef with delicious spices and LOTS of onions, mmmm), the ORANGE CHICKEN is a comfort-food-fave (not too sweet, but not too spicy), the LO MEIN is just how I like it (soft, chewy noodles and a nice balance of veg and meat), the SESAME SHRIMP is different than I have ever had and I love it (the batter is almost like pancake batter so it's sweet and puffy), the WONTON and EGG DROP soups are delish (always hot and fresh, vegetables still crisp and lots of big shrimp and meat in the wonton soup).
And we always get the "free" pork fried rice (currently a special if you $pend $o much) which doesn't seem prepared any different than you'd expect but it's just delicious!!
The service is also always super friendly, speedy and appreciated - from the phone, to ordering in, or delivery - thank you Hong Kong! See you soooooooon.
