This place is awesome. Some of the best Chinese food I've had, and the service was excellent. Will definitely be returning.

Got a serious dim sum craving which lead me to Hong Kong Even tho I arrived early before opening, the parking lot was packed. Place was filled at opening. I'm from NY so my standard is high. I got a good sample: har gow, siu mai, cheung fun ( shrimp and pork) spare ribs, crab claw, stuffed eggplant and peppers, pork bao. NGL, it was a little disappointing. Har gow wrappers were thick. There was little or no shrimp in the eggplant. The pork was tough. Ribs were so salty. Not sure I'd return. Upside, the staff was friendly. read more

I was excited to try the dim sum here but left the restaurant feeling kind of disappointed. Most of the dim sum menu options were deep fried or contained pork which I don't eat, so my options were limited. I tried shrimp dumplings, shrimp rice roll, a bite of turnip cake that my friend ordered, and the chicken sticky rice and while all of it was decent, nothing really stood out. The food also took a while to come out even though the restaraunt wasn't that busy, and the waiter never refilled my empty water cup. read more

I think this is the best Chinese restaurant in Durham. Service was fast on a Friday evening. Food came out hot and fresh. Had the shrimp dumplings, sui mai, fried pork dumplings, pork buns, spicy tofu, and sesame seed puff. I have been to Hong Kong and of course had various dim sum in Boston, Chicago, NYC, and the food is comparable to good Chinatown restaurants in big cities. Simple, yet, comfortable space. I'll be back! read more

I would not recommend this place. I do not know why anyone would want to eat here. First and foremost, the place seems real old. We sat at a corner where it was another exit door that was closed off. Not ideal. The waitress was a bunch of aunties that look like they were so confused... for the food, some portion was small and some were ok. Some were not hot at all and some was hot. Would not want u to go a try. Chicken feet was not so great. read more

This is a wonderful dim sum restaurant, and I can't believe it is the first time I have come here! The sui mai is delicious! The food comes out quickly, and service is friendly. The restaurant ambiance feels like a home. read more

Food was very good. Squid was fresh. $3.75 soup was surprisingly small. The issue is had was the lunch plate took 35 minutes to arrive. The owner got salty with me when I mentioned this at check out. Lady, Dragon Inn and Happy China, that have great authentic asian food too, are around the corner so I'll spend my $$ elsewhere next time. read more

THE ABSOLUTE BEST DIM SUM. A 5/5 each and every time. On the weekends, they have carts going around and it's best to go either early or late to avoid the lunchtime crowd. Highlights include the seafood fried noodles, shrimp rice noodles, and fried squid. These are must orders (and you might even need multiples). Other great options include the shrimp dumpling, pork shu mai, and pork spare ribs. Honestly, you can't go wrong. This place has been a staple of Durham for years and very little has changed about it (which is amazing). Definitely try it! read more

With limited choices in North Carolina, this is the one that can be graded very good and the price is acceptable. The parking may be limited when they have full house. We drove 145 miles from Charlotte just to enjoy our Cantonese dim sum. They have almost every varieties on Saturday & Sunday. Their service was good. We had a good time. If someone can show me more places to go, please drop me a note. read more

I have been here many times for dim sum. Just went for dinner on a Sunday at 5pm. Six of us at our table. Service was really slow. Those of us who ordered the combo got food fast. Anything else was slow. Two of us did order off the dim sum menu. One ordered Singapore noodles which I've had many times. I did not taste it but it didn't look good. My Chinese spouse said this was Chinese food for Americans. Our dinner entrees were not good. Dim sum is much better. read more

| Overview + Authentic Chinese dim-sum + Pork Shumai is good + Shrimp tofu is a must-try + Improved ordering checklist is easy - Only 2 small pork buns per order instead of 3 - Chinese broccoli pieces are little - Chili sauce + soy sauce was pre-served instead of letting us make our own - Red tripe? - Ambiance looks old. - Expensive for the amount. - Customer service could be better | Full Review It's been more than 3 years since we'd eaten dim-sum in Hong Kong Chinese Restaurant in Durham, NC, and that's because we've found a better yet farther dim-sum spot in Cary: Shanghai. My girl & I went here for lunch because it was close to an eyeglass shop that we had to visit. This was the first time we went here on a lunch time weekday; the previous ones years ago were always on a weekend, which were usually crowded. This time, there was a good amount of customers but we didn't have to wait to get seat and parking wasn't a problem. We were a bit surprised to see the paper menu with a checklist ordering system similar to Mr. Tokyo in Chapel Hill. There's also a larger, separate full menu, complete with photos of various dim-sum items, so even though there were no dim-sum carts going around, it was easy for us to order. We ordered all dim-sum items: 5x Pork Shumai (4 pieces each) 1x Shrimp Noodle Crepe (3 pieces), 1x Shrimp Tofu (3 pieces each), 1x Chinese Broccoli, 1x order of Pork Bun (2 pieces), tripe & 2 small cups of white rice. Total came up to be around $64 - About the same price we pay for 2 people in Shanghai. We had to wait for about 18 min. for all the items to arrive - Not as fast as we'd like but still faster than other dimsum places we've been to. They were all served hot. My girl had to ask for chili & soy sauce for our Pork Shumai; the lady-manager who served us gave us a tiny saucer that already have the chili & soy sauce sauce mixed instead of letting us do it our own like how other dim-sum spots do. $5 for 4 pieces of Pork Shumai is about the average price now; it's $1 cheaper here than Shanghai albeit smaller (less pork filling). Nonetheless, the Shumais here tasted as authentic as the other dim-sum items, but skin of the Shumais were a bit overcooked. The shrimp tofu was well-cooked though, and the sweet sauce with chives that came with it was enjoyable. The shrimp rice noodle crepe was good with the soy sauce; and 3 pieces per order was fine for the price, but the 2-piece small pork bun was disappointing; Shanghai & other dim-sum spots usually have 3 pieces. The small cups of white rice were enough for us; the amount of Chinese broccoli with the oyster sauce was fine but the pieces were quite small. The most surprising part of our dim-sum lunch was the tripe, which we expected to be white instead of red. This was our first time having this kind of tripe and we weren't sure at first if it would be as good as the typical white tripe. This tasted a bit spicier, more tomato-like, not too bad, but we prefer the white tripe we're used to. Hong Kong's ambiance was the same old building we remember visiting years ago; seating here can be limited during weekend lunch hours, and often times before, we had to wait to be seated. Parking was also an issue back then but there were many vacant spaces in our latest visit. There were no major issues with customer service here but our experience could have be better. We just didn't get the sense that the lady cared about our dim-sum needs such as the chili/soy sauce issue I mentioned. It's quite rare to find a decent dim-sum place in Triangle NC; while Hong Kong is far from the ideal spot to eat authentic Chinese dim-sum, it's still authentic, and if you're craving for good dim-sum but are not willing to drive farther, this is still an acceptable spot. Just don't expect food to be cheap here (like most dim-sums). For us, this might be our last visit in Hong Kong; this review felt like a bittersweet farewell to what my parents, brothers, and I used to go to for lunch after church years ago. My girl & I just won't settle for less when it comes to dim-sum, especially if we're paying more than $60 for 2. | Overall Score: 3.4/5 read more

Hong Kong Chinese Restaurant - Dim Sum in Hong Kong restaurant in Durham - Dim Sum Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

I have to say, this is the best Dim Sum in the Triangle. This hole in the wall of a Chinese restaurant services the most authentic Chinese, old school dim sum. They have tripe and chicken feet. Both super tender and well made. Now with that said, is it like California (OC, those who knows, know what I am talking about) quality, no it's not. But is it good, yes it's is great. I grew up in CA, so I know great quality Dim Sum. I have tried 3 other places in Cary that left me turn my nose and sad belly. Hong Kong house may have spots on their walls but I can live with that. Dim sum is served all day. On Sundays they open at 1030, not 11 so get there early. Parking is small and they are always busy. Service is not bad. On Sundays, the cart ladies hoover around making sure you get your filled of food. There is a menu, but for Dim sum, u just point and they give it to u. Plates range from 4.99-8.99 but u can ask them for a menu and order the bigger plates. Next time I want to ask them if they have house special lobster ! Can't seem to find any chinese restaurant that makes house special lobster... read more

Our family has yet to find a satisfactory Chinese restaurant in the Durham/Chapel Hill area, so the line for this busy restaurant on Black Friday seemed promising. They were serving dim sum at the time we went in the afternoon and the first thing we noticed was that the restaurant seemed very short-staffed. The hostess/waitresses were running around to attend to all the tables and it took some time before the people waiting to be seated were addressed. We ordered dim sum (zha liang, siu mai, har gao, and wu gok) and crispy stir fried noodles with stir fried pork. It took some time to receive our food, but everything tasted pretty authentic and worth the wait. read more

We both got soy milk to start which was pretty good and sweet but they also didn't give us the chance to order other beverages. It was also somewhat difficult to eat as the dim sum carts did not make regular rounds into the little alcove we were in and there would be lags of time before the next one showed up. They also offered some things that weren't on the carts but you had to ask specifically for them so I wish they also gave a paper menu so you knew the full breadth of offerings because we sat there for awhile waiting for our favorites to come around before we started asking for them. They also didn't give you much time to decide if you wanted something. I'd turn to ask my gf if she wanted something and by the time I turned back they were gone. We got the fried pork dumplings which has a sort of sweet crispy outer shell with minced pork inside. Although the pork is tasty, the inside is rather empty. We also got shrimp rice rolls which were good. Shrimp dumplings were equally good. We also got sticky rice and turnip cakes. Not bad Also had the coconut pudding for dessert which was fun. Overall, impression is that the food is mid and by that I truly mean 'mid' as in average and not as in bad. It was very average. The metric I'm comparing it to is my usual places in Orlando/Tampa, not even like NYC, Philly, Cali etc. Would appreciate if the carts/ordering was a little more cohesive as well. read more

Dim sum, my comfort food from my childhood, has always been my number one favorite meal. It's a cuisine I've always been deprived of while living in the South my whole life and only ate with my family in NYC during summer every year. We ate dim sum at least twice a week for 18 years of my life during summer. During the school year, I never had it because it was never found anywhere in the South. The Asian population was never heavy enough to have one, I suppose. Now, I have finally found one! I found a real authentic, push cart, dim sum restaurant located in North Carolina! I couldn't believe my eyes when I walked in the door. I felt overwhelmed with joy, excitement and comfort, even the smells were nostalgic! Finally! For the first time in my whole life, I found a dim sum spot in the Carolinas. As I walked in, I wasn't sure where to go. The staff were everywhere and I didn't see anyone at the cash register podium area. There were many people waiting in the waiting room and everyone was Asian. This made me feel at incredibly excited at the thought of good authentic dim sum and it also felt very comforting. I walked back over to the right to the podium cash register area when I saw a lady come back to her post. She asked how many? I told her "one," and she sat me immediately. As soon as I was sat, I ordered my green tea and water. Minutes later, two ladies with push carts filled with delicious dim sum came by. They were very nice and very helpful. I ended up getting Siu Mai, chinese broccoli, har gow, lo mai gai and cheung fun. The Cheung Fun was disappointing in the flavor department. I couldn't taste the shrimp at all. The Siu Mai tasted very good, but the texture of the dumpling wrapper wasn't good. It tasted overcooked with the crispy edges of the dumpling wrapper. The Har Gow was perfect! The lo mai gai was very good and the Chinese broccoli was cooked to perfection as well. All in all, I was pleased, but wished I could've had the chicken feet instead of the Cheung fun. I'm just ecstatic to finally have found a Dim Sum restaurant in the Carolinas. If I'm ever in town here again, I will definitely be coming back! read more

This is one of the best dimsum place in the area. When I'm craving dimsum this is where I go! If you want to get a table at lunch on a Sunday, get there right when they open!! Or you'll have to wait for a table because it fills up fast! The servers walk around and pushing carts of various dishes to your table and ask if you want it. You can ask for a menu if you want other items like fried rice , etc. Very chilled and laid back! read more

Great food and service. We had the DimSum and enjoyed the experience and the atmosphere

Line formed outside the door about 20 mins before their opening time on a Sunday. Plenty of parking. Staff are friendly and they speak English, Mandarin and Cantonese. After Covid, most dim sum places do not have push carts anymore. Very happy to see the dim sum on carts. Limited options as mostly fried items. Asked for some items like fake shark fin (Yu chee gau) dumpling, steam chives dumplings (gaw Choi gau) fried chives dumpling (gaw Choi gok) and other basic dim sum entrees but they don't offer them. Surprised to see big city prices. The har gow's skin (shrimp dumpling) was not chewy at all. Too much flour. Also cold so probably got the bad batch. Highly recommend the crab claw. Back home, you get one crab. Here you get two of them so affordable. Lightly batter and perfect seasoning. Love how spicy sauce is available on the table. I ordered the beef congee but received the pork and century egg instead. It was smooth and good though. The host was nice and asked numerous times what I would like to eat after knowing I was visiting. The seating booths give a HK vibe. One would believe that you're in HK! Hoping to see more bao options. Good to know NC has a decent dim sum joint read more

It is of mixed feeling to write a review for a place that I have been looking forward to visit. We visited during lunch time on a weekday. The place is full and a bit understaffed, service was a bit slow. Food wise, I would give it 3-stars, I can taste some dishes are considered pre-made/commercially made, the shrimp dumpling, the egg tart, etc.; some are decent, the steamed shrimp vermicelli roll, steamed pork ribs. We were not able to try everything on the dim sum menu so I cannot tell if most dishes are good or half half like we experienced the other day. Given that there are not many places serving dim sum in NC, I am giving it 4 stars. read more

Food, is good, fair selection to choose from. It's not Los Angeles, Toronto, Vancouver or San Francisco. However for North Carolina it's good. Portion size is smaller and pcs come 1pc less, for example Har Gow and Sui Mai comes 3 pcs to v 4 pcs. Service is adequate, speed of service slightly slower, challenging for the aunties to maneuver a dim sum cart in tight quarters. Ambiance small dining room, booth seating in main room, folding games and banquet tables in other. Larger round table for large groups. Don'taspecya romantic, quite, and relaxed meal. Parking is available out back (self parking). All major CC and cash. All the information on the internet is outdated, and incorrect. Same goes the prices they are off as well. read more

I was looking for some egg foo young & found it here. It was very good & I will be back.

Dim sum this good in Durham is outrageous. This shouldn't happen. Why doesn't that exist in Charlotte? Thankfully during my weekly travels to the Durham area, I'm able to partake in all of the dim sum glory and a bit of the full menu as well. I've yet to take a bite I didn't like. I've got congee on the radar for my next visit. Service is speedy and the ambiance is early 80s. I'm lovin it... read more

Hong Kong Chinese Restaurant - The mahogany interior... - Dim Sum Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

Mixed bag city - If you order the right things you should be good. The good dishes were the pea sprouts, long shrimp dumplings, beef chow fun, and sesame balls. The beef chow fun especially which is made to order with tons of juicy beef and bean sprouts. The bad dishes were the shrimp dumplings and shumai...not sure if they were sitting around too long but the wrappers were cold, hard, and wayyy too doughy. Unfortunately these are fundamental dishes so it is pretty sad they weren't good. The options are a bit limited and the prices are def a bit on the higher side. Consider the options nearby, this is pretty good overall. read more

Dim sum place. Plenty of seating but could be a little slow when understaffed. My favorite dishes: - congee (lots of pork in it) - crab claw with shrimp - Chinese broccoli - tofu skin roll - beef stir fried noodles (my party enjoyed it) So-so dishes: - clay pot chicken with black beans (too much starchy water in it, though things were cooked right. Tender chicken and crispy veggies) - turnip cake Dishes that I didn't enjoy: - hot and spicy tofu (plain fried tofu, not much flavor) - taro ball (too greasy) Biggest problem with this restaurant is that they add shrimp to a lot of dishes for the umami dishes but it's not noted on the menu. If you have allergies, you need to let them know !!! read more

5 stars to offset the bad reviews because this is the place you want to go eat dim sum! No, you're not going to get the best customer service ever but let's be honest, that's not why you're here - you want good dim sum and that's what you're going to get! You'll want to come in the weekend to get the full cart experience. On Saturdays it opens at 11am and Sundays at 10:30am, best get there early, even if you have to wait a bit you'll likely be the first ones to be seated. Otherwise you'll have to wait, but usually if you wait it isn't ever that long. The carts come around fast so be sure you know what you want because they move quick! I satisfy my dim sum craving every time I come here, it's a Durham classic! read more

Hong Kong Chinese Restaurant - Chinese broccoli, chicken feet, shumai, eggplant, bbq bao - Dim Sum Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

Been here a couple of times now, always had an enjoyable experience. Hong Kong is set up in classic dim sum style, where the push cart comes around with fresh dim sum items and you just point at what you want (this is only on Saturdays & Sundays btw). We've tried a large variety of their items. My favorites are the stuffed crab claw, shrimp stuffed eggplant, taro with shrimp, turnip cake, and sesame balls. Fine ambiance, fast service. It's usually popping on weekends so be prepared for a wait. Very unassuming exterior but don't let that deter you from trying this place out. Dim sum is definitely something everyone should experience at least once and Hong Kong is a convenient and tasty place in Durham. 9/10 would recommend! read more

On my top 3 list for dimsum in the triangle area. I went on a weekday night, so they took orders as you go versus having carts pushed around with ready cooked foods on the weekends. I tryed the crispy duck today, it tasted similar to chicken tenders but with duck meat. It was good. The duck came with brown gravy. I ordered wonton soup and chinese fried cruller as well. Everything I ordered came out hot and yummy. Everytime I come for a visit, there always busy but quick to service. Having to finish my meal with some refreshing cup of cold soy milk. read more

THE BIG: Looks like a converted house and it's always crowded. Located right off of Guess Road. Parking can be tough and they have a lot located on site. THE BLACK AND WHITE: My wife and I came here on a Sunday right before it opened to get a takeout order to head to Winston. The ordering was pretty hectic as the receptionist was in the kitchen helping out. We ordered the dim sum staples: chicken feet, cheong fun, hargow, eggplant, Chinese broccoli, spare ribs, egg tarts and then a big dish, beef chow fun. Since this was a takeout order, we did wait an hour until we ate it and I can safely say that eating dim sum is better fresh. Regardless, the flavors were there, maybe a bit salty. The egg tarts is one of my gauge on how good the dim sum spot is and it was alright. I prefer more flakey crusts. THE FINAL BAMBOO: Ultimately the damage done was around $85 for a bunch of dim sum and a beef chow fun. Decent dim sum and worth a try if you're in the Durham area. read more

The food is amazing and the staff are very friendly! I love all the dim sum options. It's one of my fav spots in Durham.

This is the best dim sum in the area, if not one of the best. I LOVE dim sum, and I've had my fair share of it. They are always busy so be sure to account for time if you go at peak time. The selection and prices here are decent, and the flavor is on point. The workers here are trilingual (English, Chinese but not sure which dialect, and Vietnamese) which is impressive. And the service speed is very reasonable compared to other dim sum places I've been to in the triangle that did not compare in flavor. They even have hot or cold soy milk (Asian style)! read more

Excellent food, absolutely delicious, super cute ambiance ver ver quaint and very fast and friendly service

I was in town on a Wednesday afternoon and wanted a Dim Sum fix. A quick Google search lead me here and I was excited to try their food. I looked through their menu and determined they definitely had what I wanted. I was quickly greeted when I went inside and I informed the hostess that I would be ordering take-out. The inside was clean and staff were friendly. There were several tables eating and it wasn't too noisy. They seemed popular and there were other take-out orders in-process while I perused the menu. They have a regular menu and a dim specific menu. When I asked for the dim sum menu I was told to tally how many of each dish I wanted and it would be made fresh. After placing my order I was told the wait time and I went to wait in my car until it was ready (I had my dog with me and didn't want to leave her unattended for long.) I came back inside after 20 min and my food was already packed up and ready to go. Everything was fresh and smelled good. I ate a piece of each dim sum right away (shrimp dumplings I ate all of because I knew wouldn't it survive re-heating) and saved the rest for dinner after I went home to Virginia. I ordered: Steamed pork buns Shrimp Dumplings Turnip Pudding Chive Dumplings (which also have shrimp in it) Steamed Pork Noodle Rolls Hong Kong Noodles with Pork (The hostess asked if I wanted shredded pork or roasted pork, I opted for roasted pork which is Char Siu) Hong Kong Roast duck I appreciated that the Hong Kong noodles were packaged in separate boxes so the sauce wouldn't make the noodles soggy on the drive home. They had the perfect crunch. Every dish tasted delicious and authentic and just what I remembered eating growing up. I will definitely be back for more whenever I'm in town. read more

Our "local" dim sum place is 70min from home, and it is 100% worth it. Whenever we can we come out, bringing friends when possible. I always ask for chrysanthemum tea and rock sugar to start, and the food follows almost as soon as chopsticks arrive at the table. Tea carts for lunch on weekends and all the very best foods. The servers have seen us often enough over the course of years to know our faves, from wu gok (taro crescents) to snow pea leaves, turnip cake to shu mai. They have the absolute best char siu (roast pork) I've ever had, anywhere, and if you can get their sesame balls piping hot they are absolutely beyond words. read more

If this restaurant were in California I would have given 2 stars as I personally don't plan on returning, but I also acknowledge that there is a far more competitive dim sum scene in SoCal than here, and I have high standards as a result. Hong Kong Chinese Restaurant is one of the few authentic dim sum restaurants (with the dim sum carts!) in this part of NC so I don't want to be too harsh, but I was pretty unimpressed with the quality of all of the dim sum here. The restaurant looks like a house and has two dining areas. There are a few dim sum carts circulating, and you can also order certain dishes to be brought over as well. I came with a large party on the weekend but we were seated pretty quickly. We ended up at a large round table. I wish it came with a lazy susan since it was difficult to reach dishes that were far away. We got hot oolong tea for the table, and it came out tasting like hot tap water, sour and metallic. I am an oolong lover who regularly drinks it at home so I am confident in saying that what we drank was not oolong, and barely tea at that. Maybe the other tea options taste better but consider this a warning to skip the oolong. The tea really set the tone for the rest of the meal. There were issues with the taste and/or texture of almost everything we ordered. Details below: - Pork congee: this is a dim sum classic and a dish that I've been obsessed with recently. The rice was well broken-down, if slightly too watery. However, it was super bland. It was pretty obvious that they made a pot of plain congee and threw in some century egg and slivers of pork at the very very end. Putting more meat, or at least some powdered bouillon, could have improved this dish vastly. - Har Gow: The texture of the glutinous, clear dumping skin was waaaaay off. Rather than stretchy or QQ (bouncy), it tasted gritty and hard. The shrimp filling was just ok; it was a bit overminced for my tastes. - Chicken feet: These were well cooked and fall-off-the-bone tender, but startlingly flavorless. They were very red and coated in sauce, but when I bit into a piece it tasted mostly like the chicken foot itself, with maybe a hint of saltiness and earthiness. It was confusing to say the least. - Steamed pork ribs: The meat was chewy and had plenty of tendons and gristle, which I personally enjoy. However, the sauce was way too salty and overpowered the meat. - Fried sesame balls; These were pretty tasty, if not the freshest-tasting. The lotus paste filling was pleasant, smooth, and sweet. - Egg tarts: Normally the highlight of a dim sum meal for me, these fell short. The taste was fine but there was a sticky liquid coating the top of the tart. It mixed unpleasantly with the custard and made it feel a bit gross. The crust was cakey not flaky, and the custard went up the sides of the tart while caving in at the center, which speaks to consistency issues with the custard filling. - Siu mai: As far as flavor went, this was your average pork siu mai. The meat filling was quite tough so it felt more like a wrapper around a meatball than like siu mai. - Tripe: we got both the white and red versions. The white tripe dish was too salty but the tripe texture was good and soft. The red tripe dish had a pretty strong, spiced taste, but the tripe was really tough and sinewy. - Steamed BBQ pork bun: The bun itself was fluffy, but there was barely any charsiu pork inside. The meat was garishly red and too sweet. - Gai Lan: This was overcooked as the stems were mushy. The flavor was simple, savory, and refreshing. - Spring rolls: These were crunchy and well-fried but there wasn't much filling inside, and it was mostly cabbage. - Steamed rice roll with shrimp: These were ok, though the rice wrapping was thicker than I am used to, and chewier as a result. - Chicken and glutinous rice in lotus leaf: This was quite tasty. There was a good amount of meat, and the well-steamed glutinous rice had both the fragrance of the lotus leaf and the savoriness of the chicken. Overall, I did not enjoy most of the food and will not be returning. However I still want to give major kudos to this restaurant for being one of the few dim sum places in this area, and offering dim sum cart service to boot. If you want a more authentic dim sum experience, this is where to get it. read more
