Small dining room with about nine tables, a TV, video lottery room, and moderately comfortable bench seating. Food: * Egg Flower Soup: Mild flavor; decent. * Hot & Sour Soup: Standard flavor, solid base -- improved after adding a couple spoons of chili oil. * Lunch Special ($11 with fried rice): A good value, though not as fresh as what we're used to around Salem. * Crab Puffs: Could use more crunch. * Fried Rice: Plain, no veggies, and on the dry side. * Spring Rolls: Crispy exterior with fresh filling -- a bright spot. * Cashew Chicken: Veggies weren't as fresh as expected. * General Tso's Chicken: Soy-sauce-forward flavor; crunchy breading, large chunks. Just okay overall. Drinks & Atmosphere: Tea is served by the cup (not a pot) -- extremely hot with pink or regular sugar packets. Takes about 20 minutes to cool enough to drink, and comes without a "hot beverage" warning. There's also a faint, odd smell in the dining area that was noticeable during our visit. Overall: Portions are larger than expected for a lunch special, and some locals clearly enjoy this spot. For us, it was average Chinese food -- okay for the price, but below the freshness and flavor we typically find at our favorite Salem restaurants.

We let our waitress know it was our first time here and she made several wonderful suggestions. Starting with the egg flower and hot and sour soups, very flavorful.

My husband also ordered a combination plate with Sweet and sour pork, shrimp, and chicken lomein and fried rice. Our over all experience was great and we will be back.

The inside is very spacious too. Again, with the typical red and gold Chinese dragon décor. I love this sort of place. Makes me feel really comfortable. We were seated at a rather economically sized booth. Me and my birthday girl sister's butts barely fit. Me and my parents traveled from Portland to Salem to take my sister out for her birthday lunch and she highly recommended this place. Per usual, there were scads of choices to behold on the menu. My parents shared some sort of beef vegetable dish. My scallop and vegetable plate was wonderful. Usually places are stingy with their scallops. Not here. I had oodles of scallops. Like more than I knew what to do with. I ended up with a to go container. The whole time we were sitting there I kept eyeing the red door that beckoned Lounge on it. My mind imagined all sorts of scenarios going on behind that red door; all of them seedy. Because that's how my mind works. I couldn't wait until we were all boxed up and ready to go so I could check it out. Imagine my surprise: Nothing but good, clean, wholesome, fun happening in there. There's a pool table, folks were eating. A nice gentleman at the bar and a friendly bartender. My fortune cookie was pretty awesome and probably true too. Bravo, Hong Kong House! 2024 - Review # 10

We don't have to drive to Portland to get our dimsum Christmas experience. They had a special menu for Christmas, which had a large amount of food items on it, but they refuse to give us the Dimsum menu. Our order trickled out painfully slow. We ordered spicy dumplings. Don't do it! They are sickly sweet and hot lots of white pepper. The dumplings had tough pork filling. We also, ordered soup dumplings they were great! Then the long wait begins. We never got the rest of our food and it had been well over an hour..... my sister started complaining and like magic the food appeared. All our food was good except the spicy dumplings.

They have updated the inside by painting, the walls white, and I believe there were drapes in the restaurant. It was dark before now it's light and bright. Love the new look. There were several people in the restaurant or I should say several tables with customers in the restaurant that was a good sign. The service was a bit slow a bit quirky. Some of the staff seem to be unfamiliar with waiting tables? We ordered hot tea. It took a while to get there to our table that is. We waited a little bit and they brought out my friends dish which she ordered curry shrimp and also potstickers. So where was mine? I was waiting patiently. It came out about five minutes later. I will say we were very impressed with the dishes that we ordered. I ordered scallops and vegetables and was truly amazed at the amount of scallops that were on my plate with the vegetables, although the price has gone up to $18.75. I will say it was well worth the price. My friend ordered the curry shrimp, and she was very happy with her plate of shrimp which a very generous portion was offered. The potstickers were delicious. The staff, as I stated earlier seemed a little unorganized. No one came to take the empty plates from our table, but dropped off our bill reluctantly. I waved down the white staff to come. Please take the plates and she grabbed my credit card and the bill.. We were given boxes for our leftovers paid the bill and left. I'm looking forward to going back to Jen's and ordering my regular happy family which I was told was on the menu. Anxious to see what the generous portions hopefully look like. I do enjoy the lightness and brightness in the room, which i was a pleasant surprise. We will be back

Had minimal flavor but/and was terribly over-watered down to meet my request of mild, hence the lack of flavor.

She was served a wedge salad (the lettuce) and had to create the wrap herself. She said it was filled with salt. 1/5 Service: Oh. My. Rude. Unfriendly. Didn't smile. The language barrier was PROFOUND and it was very uncomfortable for our group. She didn't understand our questions and couldn't respond appropriately. It was horrible.
