Great Hong Kong tea and dumplings. Very clean inside. Good service and worth checking out.

A little pricey for the quality of food. The prices that I saw online didn't match what I was charged but the lady that helped said they updated them online recently. read more

When I lived in Germantown. The food was delicious. Generous portions and excellent quality. I stop by the restaurant from time to time. This last time was it for me. I ordered a Pu Pu Platter to go. The fried shrimp was half cooked. The outside of the shrimp were golden brown but the insides were mushy and the shrimp was cold. They did not fry the shrimp completely. My order came with 2 pork ribs, I received 1 and 1/2 ribs. Also the wontons were over cooked, they were so crispy that the meat on the inside was ineatable. I won't be going back, something similar happened the last time I was there, but I forgot. So this time I wanted to post a review so that others are aware of how the quality of the food has gone down. read more

Just changed owner. Now offers authentic Hunan- and Sichuan-style food at a very affordable price. Dined once and was quite impressed. Will definitely go again. I live 40-minute drive away. read more

As a Cantonese person, I didn't find my experience at Cafe Hong Kong a very good one! You throw "Hong Kong" in your name, I'm going to expect some good Cantonese food. I decided to not order the typical Chinese carry out food and got some more traditional sit down style dishes. I ordered the Sauteed String Beans, Shredded Pork w/dried bean curd, and Fish Filet over Vegetable Szechuan dinner. The string beans were very bland and oily. The shredded pork w/dried bean curd was very dry and was also bland too. The Fish Filet dish was pretty flavorful and wasn't too bad, but it was a bit oily also. Overall, if you're looking to eat dinner style Chinese food, I would give this spot a pass. You're better off going to Chinese places in Rockville such as East Pearl. If you want the typical Americanized carry out food then you can't really go wrong with this, but who knows! read more

Good food and service Love the quality food was fresh and ready on time for pickup. They were nice a friendly read more

I ordered over $60+ worth of delivery, and the food was horrible. The pork fried rice was mushy and the ribs were stale. This is usually the only Chinese I eat from for at 10 years. No more. What a disappointment! My son eats out a lot and he said it was really bad. I am not sure if they are under new management or if there has been a staff change, but the quality has slipped so far down it has hit rock bottom. I will never go back to them. :-( read more

I'll be honest in saying my review is mostly for the one dish I get from here and that too usually as take out. I've developed a taste for Taiwanese beef noodle soup and most of the places that make it are in Rockville. This is the only local one in Germantown that I like because it will absolutely warm you up on a rainy day or cold Winter night or when you're fighting a nasty cold. It has the right level of numbing spiciness. Ample amounts of beef as well, and they have handpulled noodles to boot. Price point is about $10 so that too is on par with the general pricing of such an item. I have not had any customer service issues as usually I call it in, and they have it ready within 10 to 15 minutes for pickup. read more

The food quality was terrible. The Fried Rice was burnt, tasted pretty bad. I also ordered some Pork Bbq Spare Ribs that were so dry I couldn't eat it. Everything was extremely extremely bland. I was only able to stomach a few bites before throwing it all in the trash bin. I've made homemade fried rice that tasted worlds better than this. Only giving "one star" because I can't give "zero stars". Honest review. read more

The food was quite mid. We took it to-go, and the white rice was somewhat mushy. The general tsos chicken was similar (mushy, non-crispy skin). The walnut shrimp was the most decent thing we got. Overall, not terrible but not good enough to come back. read more

It used to be great. Recently I tried it again... what a disappointment. With the princes almost doubled within 1 year, the quality of the food and portions only got worse. read more

I wish I saw the reviews before ordering ! The food was disgusting and I never ever say that. But it was really aw full, felt like old and expired. It was really over priced as well. Please be cautious before ordering. There was a think piece of my hair in my curry too :(. I Uber eats the food so I didn't want to leave a bad review for the driver but i want a refund after spending almost 80$ for 2 people read more

I had 4-items-lunch today, its system was same as Panda Express. You can choose 1 of fried rice/lomain/rice noodle, and 3 main dishes such as general tso chicken, orange shrimp, or broccoli beef. I paid $7.45 (tax included). Credit card minimum $10. Foods were fresh and staffs were very friendly. I would like to definitely visit again. read more

After years of trying multiple dishes I have found a couple that are worthy. Sadly only the main chef makes the food properly so I only go on days he is there and cooking. Must try - Shanghai bok choy with chinese mushrooms - ask for it extra spicy. Also the beef with scallions (no white onions) is pretty legit. read more

Yuuuuuuuck. I ate here as part of a large group and the food was inedible. Low grade ingredients, dirty interior and overall poor experience. If you live in this area you live in a fabulous land of abundance in multicultural dining experiences, especially if it's Asian fare you seek. Take your hard earned money and your valuable time somewhere else, please. Businesses like this are eroding the landscape. I think it's sad that this restaurant sits in the spot once occupied by Germantown's first Chinese restaurant. They are just trying to make a quick buck. Please don't support them. read more

Great spot to order Chinese delivery. Very quick turn-around. Food was really good too! I have ordered here throughout the 3 years since I lived in the area. They never disappoint. read more

We have been searching for a go-to Chinese restaurant since moving to Germantown. I think we finally found one! (we had one but it sadly closed). 1. Hot and sour soup is a go-to for both Luke and I. Luke pronounced their hot and sour soup delightful! 2. Eggs Rolls are important - they were ok. Not the greatest but good. 3. Dumplings (steamed and fried) are a favorite of the boys and me, good! 4. Has to have a wide and varied menu (check!) Overall the experience was great. Delivery was on time (although mother nature intervened and caused a slight delay - dumping an inch of rain in a little over 11 minutes). Main dishes are generous in size (which means Lunch for me with leftovers!) The food was good and the Fried Rice met my dad test (my dad made the best-fried rice). We finally after nearly 4 years of searching found our go-to restaurant for Chinese food!!!! read more

I was pretty excited beforehand when I saw this restaurant had hot and sour noodles (酸辣粉）because it is extremely to find restaurants that serve this dish in the DC area. Looking at some of the yelp reviews led me to believe that this would be an Sichuan restaurant with authentic level spiciness. Alas, how wrong was I. I came here on Friday night around 8PM with my wife and it was pretty empty. The manager/owner was Cantonese and seated us promptly. My wife hearing me speaking Cantonese to the manager immediately raised the question of how Sichuan authentic the food could be if the owner was Cantonese (Fyi, for all non-Chinese people, Cantonese Chinese people in general don't eat spicy foods) but I reassured it would be ok. Our server didn't show up for a couple minutes even when we were ready to order. When she did show up and took our order, she asked if we could handle spiciness which we promptly replied that not only were we able to, we wanted the most extreme spicy and tongue numbing levels they could put out. We ordered the hot and sour noodles, cumin beef, and mapo tofu. The hot and sour noodles came out first and it was pretty big for only $6....because it wasn't very good. It contained no hotness whatsoever. Then then mapo tofu came out and it was pretty small portion, furthermore again no spicy level at all. Not only was their mapo tofu not spicy, it wasn't very flavorful either. We complained to our server about the spicy level which she replied that it was the spiciest they could make. Finally the cumin beef came and instantly we could discern it was not stir fried but boiled, which makes a huge world of difference in taste. Again, it was non spicy and didnt tasted average. Even the average American probably wouldnt consider the food spicy at this restaurant. Now other Sichuan restaurants like Jin river and Joe's noodles in Rockville aren't spicy to me either but at least the food there is flavorful and delicious. Cafe Hong Kong had neither. read more

Used to be favorite our chinese food in Germantown, not anymore. Last 2 orders were horrible, definitely not going again. I ve heard this was happening, didnt take it seriously but people were right. read more

`OK. So the last 3 times I ordered any type of chicken, there was quite a bit of cartilage in them. (This indicates young chickens). Forget any pork, ALWAYS overcooked to dryness, so, hard to chew. I took a chance again, (like an idiot), ordered online to deliver. What did they do? They delivered to my old address, said they tried calling, but my phone NEVER rang. So now I am out 40.00 and whoever lives in my old place got my food!! I had them deliver here to my new addy before, so I'd like to know WTF happened!!!! DO NOT order from them!!!!!! If 0 stars were allowed, that's what I would give. read more

4 1/2 stars. Ok, so I went twice within one week. The dishes we ordered were very good. There are new owners and the one I met, Wendy, was very polite and friendly. The service was good. Portions were very fair and prices were decent. See photos...beef chow foon, sliced chicken, ginger, and scallions in pot, chicken and sweet corn soup, kung pow fried tofu, assorted meats with seafoose and fried tofu in pot. All dishes were delicious!! Finally, they will be doing Chinese hot pot sometime in May, I definitely will be going there when I'm back in town. Thwye are also going to be adding some Szechuan dishes to the menu. Can't wait to return to Germantown! read more

What a disappointment!! to start, the food was over priced, which we could have lived with had the food been good. The food was NOT good. The portions were noticeably smaller than other restaurants I've ordered from-- Again, not a deal breaker had the food been good. Quite the opposite! We asked for extra spicy fried rice-- bland. Eggrolls-- soggy and bland. Lo mein-- bland. Over-priced. bland, and stingy portions-- would give 0 stars if I could. read more

I had an Eat24 coupon and felt like having Chinese, so I placed an order for delivery here. The food arrived in about 10-15 minutes, which was fast but kind of concerning because the restaurant was at least 6 or so minutes away, meaning the food could not have been made fresh. It definitely did not taste fresh. The General Tso's chicken was room temperature, not hot at all. The meat was also all dark meat. The beef and broccoli was very hot, but the meat had not been cooked enough. The crab wontons were okay - lacked in flavor and filling. The crispy eggplant was the most disappointing dish I think I've ever ordered... It was not crispy, first of all. Second, I'm not kidding - it was battered and fried in the exact same sauce used for the General Tso's chicken. So it tasted exactly the same except it was eggplant and it was soggy. I threw most of it away. I've had much better Chinese food elsewhere. We spent close to $50 plus tip for everything and nothing was good. We even had upset stomachs shortly after eating, which is never a good sign. Overall, I'm sorry to say I do not recommend this place. read more

Food arrived cold one item was missing it was a$5 app so I did t bother call A bit disappointed will not use it in the future read more

Food: B Service: A Environment: Quiet and friendly I went here with a group of friends on a Friday night. I was surprised to see how dead it was inside but that didn't take away from the service or food. The buffet of meat and vegetables is served by a waitress while the buffet of sauces is self serve. The sauce selection is plentiful and they had all my favorites. Our group ordered multiple plates of meat and vegetables. My favorite was the spicy beef, black mushroom, and watercrest. My friends enjoyed fatty beef and variety of vegetables. One friend ordered chicken and it was tough after boiling. Pass the chicken and go for beef. The staff was incredibly friendly and even let us try to "turn off" the flame on our hotpots. They joked with us and made our night comfortable. I will definitely be returning. read more

The menu is fairly limited, but has all the staples that you would expect from a Chinese restaurant at a very fair price. However, the food is very clearly not made fresh and is kept frozen which comes through in the flavor. The pork fried rice is noticeably dry and the dessert menu is limited at best. Despite all this their was nothing blatantly wrong with the food or service. read more

We ordered shrimp, chicken and cashew nuts, egg rolls and shrimp in garlic sauce. All of our dishes were really good. The fried rice is some of the best we've had anywhere. On the back of the menus are coupons that entitle customers to free items depending on how much you buy. We were entitled to some freebees, but we didn't notice until we got home (and it was way too cold to go back out that night). So it is up to you to be diligent in redeeming your freebees. The person taking the order was a bit impatient: tapping her fingers and hovering over us and we tried to decide what to order. Not a fan of being rushed. Maybe we'll have our order delivered next time. read more

Surprised this failing and dirty place is still not closed. Can't wait for new Chinese food hopefully real and good to replace it.

We were thoroughly disappointed with our order of Chinese dishes from this restaurant. Terrible quality, and lack of quantity. The beef soup felt like colored hot water with a bare pittance of meat pieces floating in it. read more

Best Chinese food in Germantown! I have had dine in, carry out, and delivery from Cafe Hong Kong and all have been excellent experiences. The food always tastes fresh and they are flexible with order modifications and special requests! My favorites are the beef and broccoli, orange chicken, and crabmeat wontons. The people who work here are always pleasant and friendly. I am so happy they were able to reopen and I will continue to order delivery. Thank you for consistently delicious meals! read more

We have ordered from this restaurant for over ten years and usually the food has been extremely good. However last few times have been a bit of a disappointment. For sample, our last meal included Kung Pao chicken and the it just did not taste fresh and it felt as if they had reused chicken from a few days ago and put it in the dish. We did not get sick but ended up throwing the dish away. Sad to see a good restaurant go down in quality and taking short cuts with not so fresh tasting food. read more

Overall good quality, just wish the pieces of chicken were smaller, and the wontons had sauce.

This might come down to preference, but I finally found a Chinese place that doesn't overcook their vegetables. They cooked the vegetables in my dishes perfectly al dente. Even when I specifically request "al dente" at other restaurants, they STILL overcook it to the point you just taste the sauce rather than the vegetables. Also, the sauce is light and doesn't overwhelm their dishes. They also give a good mix of vegetables and whatever protein you choose. This is another problem I have at other restaurants. They either give me too much protein or too much vegetables and little of the other. If I wanted more of one or the other, I would have just chosen dishes that are just protein or vegetables. I don't have that problem at this restaurant, and it's such a breath of fresh air. I wish I had tried them out sooner but not sure why I didn't. Might be because of the previous bad reviews, and I just took the plunge to try them out today because my current go-to has significantly gone down in quality. Now I just hope they keep it up, because they are now my trusted go-to for Chinese. read more

This is by far the worst food I have ever yelped. Kung pao chicken was bland, had no spice as they used some old dry peppers, and lacked celery never thought I'd say that about a chinese fast food kung pao is an easy staple. Salt and pepper pork was overwhelmingly greasy, lacked salt lacked pepper. The greasyness was due to poor frying method, the breading just absolutely soaked up the grease. Crab Rangoon... although available in any american chinese takeout they managed to mess this up too... the filling was also bland, literally just cream cheese in wonton wrappper. Crispy beef, this they did right by right I mean on par with just about any chinese takeout. Beef was crispy despite being drenched in sweet and sour sauce. You dont order chinese takeout expecting amazing food, but this was outright horrid. Last but not the least really bad headache after eating their food, yall can guess that one Im sure. I ignored the 3 star average thingking oh its chinese its not supposed to be 4 star... ya... order from other places. read more

This use to be my favorite Asian restaurant it after this experience I will never order from here again and I mean never. There was blue rubber bands in my food and I mean not 1 but 3 I called the restaurant and they offered to make me a new order and I turned it down. It's like they went to the Asian market and brought bok choy and just started cutting. I don't even want to give this place one star read more

This is my local Chinese place to go to. Majority of the time we order, we option for carry-out because honestly, the place doesn't seem too clean. My family and I dined in at this place one time and had to ask for another glass of water since the glass provided was dirty. Their service isn't that great either- when we needed water refill, we had to wait for a couple of minutes for the server to show up again. However, their food is fantastic. We usually get their general tso chicken and tofu, Kung pao tofu and lo mein. Oh, and the coupon (free lo mein with $20 purchase) we get in mail is always a great addition! :) This place should definitely be tried out but I would recommend you carry-out. read more

Every once in a while I get a craving for Chinese and this is the first place I've ordered from since moving to MD. The price is average and the food was great! I got my usual sweet & sour chicken with fried rice and my girlfriend got the general tso chicken with white rice. I also got a cup of the egg drop soup (my favorite!). We got generous portions, fast service, and delicious food. They have all day specials as well if you're looking to save a dollar or two. The option for online ordering is quick and convenient as well. We'll definitely be ordering again! read more

I ordered takeout from here last night. It's a nice spot to dine in; perhaps another night. I got Singapore noodles which were pretty good & my hubby got general tso chicken. We got their chicken wings as well. The entire meal was good. The Singapore noodles were spicy, just the way I like it and not oily like some places do it which was a major plus! The general tso was very flavorful. The wings were very flavorful but very small which made me upset for getting them. Most people do the whole wing and thigh. They cut them in half to profit more. I wish they were bigger. Overall dinner was pretty good and this will be our new go to spot. read more
