    Left my entire plate so called bbq pork was completely dry and was absolutely disgusting.
    Oscar M.

    I'm extremely disappointed with my experience at Hong Kong Express on Chapman. I came in with high expectations because the restaurant has good reviews and a high overall rating. Honestly, I'm not sure what those reviewers were eating because my meal was terrible. The BBQ pork was absolutely disgusting--super dry, tough, and had no sauce whatsoever. The orange chicken was a complete bust as well, lacking flavor and freshness. The rice wasn't any better. The only thing that was halfway decent were the noodles, and that was only because I used two packets of soy sauce to make them edible. I would describe this place as a visual mirage. As you can see from the photos, they give you a huge amount of food, but I'd much rather have quality over quantity. A giant plate of bad food is still bad food. I ended up leaving almost the entire meal untouched and will most likely throw the whole thing away. I almost asked for a refund, but I decided not to. Instead, I'll simply share my experience and recommend saving your $13 and spending it somewhere else. The one positive thing I can say is that the staff and owners were very nice and courteous. For customer service, they deserve credit. Unfortunately, kindness alone can't make up for food that was this disappointing. Very disappointed customer.

    I heard about the large portions here and had to check them out. I ordered the 3 item combo with orange chicken teriyaki chicken and pork ribs. They really load your plate. My third item was in a separate box. Other places all three items fit in one box, and there's still room. The reason for 4 stars was the teriyaki chicken was a bit dry. All the employees were really nice. There was plenty of parking.

    Combo B : Broccoli Beef, Jalapeño Chicken
    Kianoosh C.

    A few friends and I stopped by Hong Kong express for a quick meal before seeing a movie at the Block. I have previously been to the Hong Kong Express in Westminster that ended up going somewhat viral on TikTok, but I believe this place isn't really affiliated. When we came in, the store was packed. We were in line behind like 8-10 people which was surprising for a Chinese takeout spot like this. We saw that they were running a deal that got you free 4pc egg rolls and 2 fountain drinks when you order 3 Combo B's, which we were planning on doing anyways. The service and ordering experience was a fairly standard hectic process, but we got our food no problem. A couple of us got the pictured order with Jalapeño chicken and beef and broccoli. I would definitely recommend those items over some of their others. My friend got the barbecue pork and hot orange chicken, both of which were pretty big misses in our opinion. The pork only had a few tender pieces, and the orange chicken was fully soggy. At a place like this though, I think it'd be wise to just order whatever looks the freshest. The place wasn't the cleanest or quietest, but considering we got 3 huge plates of food, 4 egg rolls, and 2 drinks for under $40, I'm more than happy with our experience.

    Chow mein, spicy orange chicken, salt and pepper shrimp and beef and broccoli

    This is a solid Chinese fast place. I got their 3 combo plate and they packed the entrees like a traditional fast food Chinese place typically does! It brings be back to the 1990's growing up. I ordered their chow mein, spicy orange chicken, salt and pepper shrimp and beef and broccoli. Chow mein was okay. Just how I remembered it to be. I can't complain. It's not the best, but it's to be expected at a place like this. Spicy orange chicken wasn't spicy or as tangy as I'd like. But that's okay. Again, I didn't expect much. The beef and broccoli was just okay as well. What I liked the most about this dish was that the broccoli was still crunchy! Good job guys! Service was quick! I was in and out in less than 7 minutes. Place was clean and people were super friendly. I'd come back for the predictable food.

    Mamadas food is always amazing here!! Favorite place for the past 16+ years Service is always great and servings even better ! A must try. And I promise you'll be a regular They got a special going on right now

    Yes,  there was a line out the for the whole time we ate.

    Let's just start with this....the missing star is because they don't offer white meat chicken options. I don't mind dishes that use dark meat but I would like options. This location is in a little outside strip mall. The inside is simple with some tables to eat at. The staff was friendly. Alright now for this dinner experience. Just look at the picture. They are not stingy with portions. All noodles with jalapeño chicken and beef and broccoli. The noodles tasted really good but unfortunately we got the bottom of the pan. They brought out fresh noodles a couple orders right behind us. Although the amount served was a good amount, the noodles were short and cut up with lots of the little veggies that they put in it. Watching them serve the fresh noodles, there definitely is an obvious visual difference. I highly recommend waiting for a fresh pan to come out if you see them scraping the bottom of the pan on the line. The beef and broccoli was delicious. Very very fresh tasting broccoli, crunchy and well flavored. The beef was cut thin and cooked perfectly. The jalapeño chicken was flavored very well. Just the right amount of spice. It is dark meat, and had some fresh veggies in it. I don't live in this area (here for Disneyland) but would most likely come again on a future visit. This meal was split in 2 and even so we didn't finish it all. Just under $17 for the 2 entrée meal with a soda.

    2 item combo w Orange chicken, rice, and chow mein.

    First time ordering from here. Was looking for a spot like the old school hood Chinese food restaurants where you can see it behind the glass in the tray warmers, and they stuff the styrofoam box. This place definitely takes the cake, good food, big portions. This place has the biggest portions I've ever been served a Chinese food restaurant. Will definitely be coming back here when I'm in North Orange County.

    Uhhhmm... this is one order? WOW! They don't skimp here on portion size OR flavor. Tiny hole in wall joint that serves up a vast array of offerings. I decided to play it safe and ordered orange chicken and broccoli beef. Ya know... the staples of fast chinese food. Enough food for 2 people and the flavors were spot on. What else could one ask for? Well, I'll back to try the others. Friendly staff, too. Go here!

    lunch special (chow mein, salt and pepper fish, wontons)
    Catherine T.

    it's always a decent day after some hong kong express. i've been going here for all my life since i grew up around the area, and ever since i found love for the other food places in the same plaza, i've been frequenting hong kong express a lot more often out of comfort and familiarity. the food is cheap and plenty esp if you come before 4pm for their lunch special ($11.99 for up to two carbs, an entree, a choice of egg rolls, wings, or wontons, and a medium drink). not the healthiest option, but this place is gr8 for anyone seeking greasy comfort food. fried rice is a lil lackluster, so i recommend getting the chow mein. service is decent considering there's a line every time i visit. not a place i would stay to eat (maybe once in a blue moon), but def a place to get your food and go! interior is like a typical chinese takeout place.

    Mushroom Chicken
    Daniel L.

    I came here really late at night and wasn't sure what to expect. I've been to this Chinese fast food a few times before, the portions or HUGE and the food is fresh. Even coming here late at night when they are about to close, the food was still really good for fast food. There were less options and the service was still amazing. The staff who work here are always great and quick to take your order. If you're looking for Chinese fast food, this is the spot you should go to! I had the Mushroom Chicken, BBQ Pork, and Chow Mein. The food was hot and still tasted freshly made. Great portions even late at night.

    If you're looking for some Chinese food and are in the OC area you just stop by and try their very well priced combination meals ! The service was quick and friendly ! The salt and pepper shrimp are my favorite !

    Bbq chicken / orange chicken
    Justin Y.

    The portion is generous, but not crazy like you see it on social media Really enjoyed the food except the orange chicken. Some were super dry and tasted old. Bbq chicken was cooked perfect and juicy

    Kathleen N.

    Like any other Chinese fast food places, they have a great selection of dishes to choose from - tofu eggplant, spicy orange chicken, regular orange chicken, potato and beef (tues and thurs only), teriyaki chicken, among others. But what makes this place stands out is their portion size. It's huge - one meal is literally enough for 2 people.

I did notice the noodles had an different taste to them, could have used a little soy sauce maybe. Overall not a bad experience. Would I go again, maybe, if the wife brings it up.

Me and…read moremy friend are not lamb fans and was a bit hesitant on ordering the food so we did hold off on ordering for ourselves. And said we decided to share and eat off of my two brothers plate before we decided to consider coming back or eating more. There was only one worker that was working at the time, but she did a phenomenal job, considering she was holding down the fort for the restaurant by herself. She also mentioned she doesn't like lamb, but she would eat the one here herself so it gave me a pretty good first impression thus far. We ordered the lamb skewers, grilled rib, shank over rice, homemade yogurt, and Cole slaw. Lamb Skewers - 4.5/5 the portion was very generous! $15 for 3 large skewers that was about 1.25 ft length each. Was perfectly grilled and did not taste gamey at all. I believe it was Szechuan pepper that seasoned the skewers. I didn't eat enough to recognize if there was any numbing, but the bite that I took was amazing. Outside was crunchy inside was chewy enough to enjoy, but not tough. Grilled rib - 5/5 I was very pleasantly surprised at how although it was very charred and crunchy in the outside that the inside was very soft and fatty. The meat literally fell off the bone. Again, no gaminess and very pleasant to enjoy. Shank - 5/5 I would have to say that this was the hero of the evening from all the dishes we ordered. The meat was extremely soft, fatty, and literally fell off the bone as I was holding it up. It was very similar to pork flavor and extremely enjoyable for me. On a separate note, I enjoyed that so much but because I had already eaten before this dinner, I came back a separate day to have that dish for myself. The rice seems to be cooked in some type of protein broth and if I had to guess it's probably lamb broth along with carrot. It also came with size of pickled items to lighten the fatness from the meat as well as a small bowl of lamb based soup. Homemade yogurt - 4/5 had a slight tartness to it and light sweetness, but was more leaning towards the sweet side of things. I enjoyed it with the dried raisins and the granola for texture and it was a pretty good ending to the entire meal. Coleslaw - 3/5 it tasted average and didn't seem to be anything special. Though it was good to have it along with all the other protein items to lighten up each bite.

It's basically a dream come true for lamb lovers -- almost every meat dish on the menu is lamb! This popular halal restaurant specializes in Xinjiang-style lamb dishes. The lamb rib with rice was incredibly tender and practically fell off the bone. The grilled lamb shank and grilled lamb ribs are also must-orders if you love bold, flavorful dishes. And don't miss the lamb skewers! They come in both spicy and non-spicy options. One thing that really surprised me was their classic sweet tea. They also have a salty version... but we definitely went with sweet. Oh, and you can request extra side dishes and soup too! Definitely come hungry. IG: socalhkfoodies

We waited one hour on my visit, but that is to be expected as the restaurant is quite small. Beef Rolls (5/5): We got two orders of these, and it was our favorite for a reason. Crispy and flaky wrap on the outside and it was packed with flavor. It was very satisfying to eat! Scallion Pancakes (3.5/5): They were plain but that is to be expected, I didn't taste much scallion. It needed the sauce of course! Spicy Wontons (4/5): These are solid and the chili oil does pack a lot of heat. I would say they are on the spicier side, just wish there was a little more depth to it. Seven Grams XLB (4/5): Juicy and flavorful! Not the absolute best I've had, but still worth ordering. Golden Beef Noodle Soup (5/5): This bowl right here was amazing. Green leafy kale paired with the extra hearty soup was what made this bowl a standout dish for me. 100% would order this alone! Mapo Tofu (5/5): Yummy silky tofu cubes with the minced meat sauce were delicious in every bite! I had no other complaints, but this dish gets very filling easily. Seriously, this place is one of my favorite places in Tustin. The service one inside is efficient, and the ambience is a bit noisy and packed, but this place is popular for a reason.

Seating consider is around 10 tables plus hjgh top stools, so if you are a large group the wait can be long. We stopped by yesterday to try out some new items, which were a mixed bag. First the Cheese Chicken Roll was surprisingly good. Imagine the Beef Roll and swap things around to get something off of a fancy KFC menu. It features a crispy flaky tortilla outside, wrapped around copious chicken (katsu texture), some lettuce for a crunch, some melted cheese, and then a spicy Thousand-Island type dressing. It all pairs well, has a good chicken portion, and texture variation too. My only desire would be for slightly more lettuce and slightly less cheese, otherwise perfect. Crispy Lotus Root Fries are solid, but not a replacement for typical potato fries. The lotus version was not as crispy or crunchy, but would be an Asian version. It comes with ketchup and the same spicy thousand island dressing as the chicken roll. Lastly we were let down by the Pan Fried Shrimp&Chicken Dumplings (Whole Wheat). The whole wheat wrapping had a very slight texture difference, not as chewy as the typical dumpling wrapping. But the inside was the main focus. It seemed like it was a fishball inside, a homogenous color and texture and more reminiscent of fish than of shrimp. It's possible we got the wrong dumpling. Based on this experience we would not order it again. Wheat wrapping would be fine, but the shrimp/chicken filling would be a no.
