Normally my family is particular about sticking to the tried and true Chinese restaurants. It is rare to get my mom and dad to deviate from their regular rotation. When my dad suggested this place, it took me by surprise. The Yelper in me is always in search of a hidden gem.
HK Garden is not that kind of place. It is jammed pack with tables of screaming, uncontrollable children. The Asian teacher in me wanted to expel some corporal punishment, but decided against it. A few stern looks were enough to get them into the seat next to their mother.
The service is lacking. Of course, it is lacking, it is a Chinese restaurant. Of course, I am going to get ignored when I need them most.
The food is a hit or a miss.
The seafood and tofu hot pot: hit.
The mapo tofu: miss.
The porks blood and intestine hot pot: hit.
The HK sweet and sour spare ribs: miss.
The whole fried flounder: hit.
Apparently if $40+ is spent, you get a free entree. We got the flounder. There is something else for $80+.
