Hong Kong has been my go-to Chinese takeout place for over 15 years. About a month ago, my…read moreDaughters and I ordered takeout and were disappointed in the food. The Generals Tso's was bland, The shrimp in the shrimp and lobster sauce dish were significantly overcooked, and the rice lacked seasoning. Assuming that was a one-time issue, I ordered again tonight with similar results--and they even missed sending the side order of Pork Fried Rice. Very disappointing. Given my long history with this restaurant, I will likely give them one more try, but I am now officially nervous that I am going to have to find another Chinese Takeout place.

You get choice of soup, egg or spring roll, the dinner selection, rice, and ice cream all for $15-$18! Plus, there is also enough to take home for a second meal. Can't go wrong.

Their egg rolls not so much. I've enjoyed all the entrees I've tried. My favorite is beef and eggplant w garlic sauce partly because it's hard to find eggplant in other local Chinese restaurants. The pork w mixed veggies, moo shu pork, Kung pao chicken are all good choices. Their soups are pretty standard...all good. Their "spicy" dishes, like Sichuan chicken actually have some spice which is nice. They will adjust heat to your preferences. You can order takeout on line which is also very handy. I recommend this restaurant.

It's all chicken and no breading that other Chinese restaurants use. Edamame is fresh, Shrimp spring rolls were hot & slightly crispy perfect with hot mustard. I highly recommend and even when using DoorDash the food is perfect every time. Whenever I visit the servers provide excellent service and the atmosphere is perfect for a casual dinner with friends. I am not a huge fan of Chinese food, but I am if it comes from imperial Chinese restaurant it honestly is the best.

I looked up a few spots on Yelp and decided upon Hong Kong Express. The lunch special prices is honestly what sealed the deal for me! I saw a broccoli special with your choice of meat (I chose shrimp, more on this later!). It comes with white rice or plain fried rice. The have other options such as beef or shrimp fried rice or Lo Mein noodles for about a dollar or two more. For something a bit different, I chose the noodles. The meal comes with your choice of soup or egg roll (I chose the egg roll for my meals). I also bought the egg foo young lunch special with pork fried rice. I wasn't sure what to expect, but I wasn't expecting to be as delighted as I was with my food! The egg foo young was very tasty & well seasoned. The gravy was verrry delicious and bought the whole meal together! The egg patty was flavorful and the pork fried rice was very good. The egg rolls were lightly fried with a delicate, crispy, crunch. Nothing extraordinary about them, but they still were pretty good! Now the super star of it ALL...the broccoli Lo Mein and shrimp! Now, notice I didn't say shrimp Lo Mein. I believe this is mainly a broccoli dish with your choice of meat and whatever kind of rice or noodles you prefer. The broccoli was perfectly chopped in bite sized pieces, which is an underrated pro. Some places put big stalks of broccoli in the dish, making it hard to enjoy, especially if the broccoli isn't cooked long enough. Hong Kong does it right! I chose plain noodles to not take away from the shrimp and broccoli. It was a great pairing. The SHRIMP!!! Omg. The shrimp were BIG, plump and delicious!!! They were fresh and had no fishy flavor. I enjoyed this dish soooo much, I'm willing to go back for it alone! It was that good. I didn't include a picture of the egg foo young, but if you've had it before, it looks like that, lol! But I had to include to broccoli dish with the shrimp because the presentation was pretty by itself. The restaurant is honestly unassuming and I would've passed it by if the visit wasn't intentional. It's not fancy looking from the outside, but the inside is nice and clean. The owners/workers are very polite. Prices weren't bad AT ALL! For two lunch specials and a can of soda, the price came up to $17 and change. As I waited for my food I saw patrons come in and out of the restaurant, which lead me to believe that I made the right decision. I'll be back, for sure! 5 stars.

A few factoids for context…read more I am an older guy, who has travelled extensively, Army vet, have native speaker aquaintances. I have eaten at high end places with many cusines and I have eaten cold MRE's in the shadow of a tank outside of a bombed out village. I actually enjoy basic, strip mall (the seedier the better) Chinese [Americanized] food. I want that paper box with the wire, or styrofoam, or modern fancy vented plastic containers is fine too. I like the cheap chopsticks, or the tiny flimsy white fork - the round spoon is a bonus trophy. In every town in the world a main road hits a T-intersection. If you go one way it's commercialized/nicer/safer/gentrified/rural if you go the other way there are liquor stores/pawn shops/car garages (with junk cars piled out back) and a down on its luck strip mall. Turn in that direction from time to time. You will learn more about the world around you, you will have some adventure to knock the sameness out of your life, and you might even be a little frightened. That is good for you, seek it out, embrace it. That turn towards the adventure side is exactly the kind of strip mall [Old Orchard Shopping Center] Chop Sticks sits in. It is non-descript, nestled in with a couple of ethnic grocery stores, a liquor store, and several other hanging in there one-off "businesses". I knew before I parked that this was going to hit the spot. The service was fast, effecient, friendly. I got Hunan Beef, fried rice, egg rolls, and a bag of those donuts unique to these places for my wife. For $25 the best of these meals I have had in a while. Good portions, beef was spicy enough for forehead sweat, rice was simple but that seperate grain texture that you can only get from these places. The egg rolls were just the right greasy, excellent with the little package of duck sauce. I would definetly eat here often if I lived in the area.
