Completely blown away by the flavors of the food!!! Let me begin by mentioning that we came into…read moretown very late at night. The Chinese family that owns the restaurant takes a huge amount of pride in ensuring their guests are given an ultimate in respect and fantastic food. They made certain that every morsel of our meal was up to spec. Every detail of it was the freshest I have EVER tasted. In forty five years of eating in hundreds of Chinese take out restaurants this is the one that all should take notice of. The fried rice was definitely not the usual cheap yellow rice one may find at other stores and the wonton soup appeared and tasted as though it were made within the hour. Joy Geen ....HO HO!!

For a small town Chinese restaurant I have been to much friendlier than this. It's not worth our time and would never go back if the owners make you feel unwelcome or bothered by requests.

Okay, I've eaten here a handful of times now and I can now recommend this restaurant. They also…read moreoffer delivery which is rare these days. I am super picky when it comes to Chinese-American food, but this place honestly reminds me of the small family restaurants I used to find in Brooklyn. Also, it's SO hard to find restaurants (outside of NYC) that make good tofu, and Hong Yip has nailed it every time. I've tried the Mapo Tofu, the Sesame Tofu, and the General Tso's Tofu and they were all amazing. I keep going back for the General's Tofu with vegetable fried rice on the side. I eat a mostly vegetarian diet, so I haven't tried many of their meat options. I did enjoy the Crab Rangoon, the Shrimp Rolls, and the Spring Rolls however. I wasn't a big fan of their Lo Mein noodles because of the sauce, but I'm picky about sauces though. That's a small thing, and shouldn't stop you from trying their Lo Mein because you might enjoy it. All in all, I would recommend Hong Yip if you're in Lake City and you're looking for good Chinese-American food. I usually call in my order and it's ready when I arrive. They have been super consistent. Friendly folks that work here, too. Support your local businesses!

The tuna felt room temperature and was pretty bad in taste. The Happy Family was not so happy. It was overcooked and had thick brown gravy. It was totally disgusting. During our meal, one waitress was mocking her $10 per hour wage while walking around with a feather duster on a pole, dusting the ceiling cameras and the HVAC vents. The dust was flying everywhere. What really was gross was when she walked over to the sushi bar with the feather duster over food, which was on a tray under her. Unfortunately, there was a man sitting at the counter 4 feet away from her. I could see the dirt landing on his food. Within 5 minutes, I left. Low standards if this is your restaurant. By the way, it's March 23, 2026. You might want to remove any references to Merry Christmas.

We arrived about an hour before they were closing, but they served us. We were greeted by some very…read morenice people very friendly and very happy to service. The restaurant was clean and there's street parking which was hard to find. The ambience inside was typical Taiwan, very colorful umbrellas on the ceiling and bright colors here and there. The food was OK. I'm giving them four stars for the cleanliness and friendliness speed of service most of all. If I had to rate just the food, I would have to give them three stars. While the food was good it was just OK. Good. The pad Thai was overly sweet and the drunken noodles was OK. That's about the best I can say is just OK. The spring rolls were excellent, but it was just a salad wrapped in the clear roll. There was nothing else in it but salad material. The egg rolls were very small very hard and crunchy with very little in the center. I like Thai food, but I know of better places that serve better tasting more authentic Thai food. I would definitely give them a try because their food is presentable and a bit tasty and the amount was fine. But the price was extremely high for the amount of food that we were given. For our four meals and appetizers plus tip and a tai chi tea. It was close to $160. It was probably about $30 a person and the appetizers and the tea I believe was what made it more expensive. You don't get any refills on your drinks unless it's water. Like I said, I would give them a try but be prepared to spend a lot of money.

I love that the fried rice is brown not yellow and that the eggrolls are crispy and not all cabbage as I often find at other places. This has been a go to for us for 30 plus years.

The egg drop soup is wonderful-if you have a cold get a quart and feel better!

I mean really, I've been to the Wong Kok as well as the Fu Mi and this one just joins a long history of hilarious names that they give their businesses. I don't know if they ever resumed indoor eating after covid 19 but I havent been back since indoor dining was taken away. Open up and I will be back folks.
