| - The food is exactly what you'd expect from a place called Hong Kong Taste. Here's the breakdown of my rating:
4 stars for a cheap Chinese restaurant having quite a few vegetarian options.
3 stars for the food taste (and they do spicy levels upon request).
2 stars for food quality (it isn't awful, but likely has astronomic levels of sodium and/or MSG).
1 star for their delivery driver (he's literally stupid and really rude, even though we tip him).
0 stars for them not listening to us and giving us 3 billion sauce packets, a menu, and free crab rangoon (we're vegetarians!) - very wasteful. We are very against waste.
All that averaged out equals 2 stars, but I gave them a 3 because my rating is more food-based than service-based, and restaurants like this are automatically starting out @ 2.5 stars to begin with based on what most are usually like. The only thing that actually surprised me is positive: the veggie options. My rating likely wouldn't change unless the food quality and veggie options were taken to a new level, but in my opinion the Etna/Shaler area definitely needs an Asian restaurant with the likes of China Palace (Shadyside), Thai Cuisine (Bloomfield), or Thai Place (Shadyside, Fox Chapel, Wexford).
