Orange chicken wasn't as good as before. Not much flavor or sauce rice was dry. The noodles were yummy

Crazy HUGE portions. The chow mein was very good and flavorful. The short ribs were awesome. Orange chicken was a little soggy but otherwise the flavor was on point. Excellent service, very friendly staff. read more

Great value(portion size) but the food isn't of the best quality (seasoning/flavor and cook) and honestly a soggy mess (sauces soak all of your items -So you can't really distinguish the seperate items you've chosen). Orange chicken has a lack of orange flavor, breading was not fried to a crunchy consistency.. so it was soggy and fell apart. Scooping extra sauce to each individually chosen item is really not unnecessary. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Hong Kong Express - Combo B : Broccoli Beef, Jalapeño Chicken - Chinese Near Me - Orange, California

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. read more

So I have been seeing this place on my socials advertising how great of a value the food is as they fill up the containers to the point where they need to tape the lid down with the food busting out from the side. Well I can attest that is the case. Unfortunately just like panda they have also had to adjust the size of the containers so photos and videos can be a little deceiving especially if you're seeing old videos. If you were to compare against Panda then I would say the containers are about the same size so Hong Kong express wins from a quantity perspective. So as for taste, I ordered the Orange chicken and bbq and overall I thought the taste was lacking and it needed the shiracha for that boost of umami. I also thought the bbq pork was dry but I did like the char. On taste I think Panda wins that round. When it comes to price, I think Hong Kong express is like a dollar more for a 2 item combo but you get a lot more food. Bottom line is, I just think it depends on what you value more, quantity vs flavor. read more

Big portions and yummy noodles, the orange was little soggy but Great flavor. The rice was a little dry.

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Walked in looking for a quick snack and left incredibly disappointed. I sampled the spicy orange chicken, which tasted decent as a sample, but the actual bowl we received was a mess. The chicken wasn't spicy at all, the texture was soggy, and it was about 70% thick, falling-apart crust with barely any meat. To top it off, they didn't include a fortune cookie and charged me 35 cents for a side sauce that is normally sitting out for free. Avoid this place if you're looking for actual spicy orange chicken. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Hong Kong Express - Chinese Near Me - Orange, California

Ok I am a snob for good Chinese food, and this is NOT the place if you are looking for something authentic. This place is exclusively quantity over quality. All I wanted when I visited this place was a solid meal for a cheap price. I ordered Combo #1, which is fried rice, noodles, and one side of your choice (I chose the salt and pepper fish). It was definitely average-tasting. What I liked about this meal though was that the portion was HUGE. I ate two giant meals for the price of one. Service was very quick, and parking was easy. Recommend checking this place out if you want quick, takeout at a cheap price. Don't recommend if you want more authentic, Chinese, sit-down meal. read more

I'm always looking for good Chinese food and this is up there! Look at how huge the portions are!! This is like 2 or 3 meals for me. This is the 2 item combo with orange chicken, BBQ pork, rice. and chow mein. It's really good, and I like that the BBQ pork isn't too fatty. I usually get it delivered, and I like how you can even order sweet and sour sauce with the crispy noodles because most places don't have that option. read more

The whole plate was just rice & chow mein. Barely any orange chicken and broccoli beef. Only 5 pieces of orange chicken to be exact, the place was pretty busy but this was pathetic. Got home to no eggrolls as well, when I ordered 3. Disappointed. Never going back. read more

The food is fresh here. They have a good variety of Chinese dishes. Some are under heat lamps. We got dumplings and they cooked it right there. It was warm and flavorful and reasonably priced. I think this place has been around a long time, but never tried it before. Will return again at some point! read more

Went to this spot known for large portions. I got the 2-item combo, which came out to over $13 after tax. While the quantity is generous -- the box was overflowing -- the flavor and quality just weren't there. It's also worth noting they add food coloring and MSG to the food items. If you're after sheer volume, it delivers, but don't expect much in terms of taste. read more

Hong Kong Express - Combo #2 (Kung Pao Chicken, Broccoli & Beef, Fried Rice and Chow Mein) - Chinese Near Me - Orange, California

Parking: They're located in a small plaza. Finding a spot can be a hot or miss. Free parking lot. Ambiance/Environment: It's pretty small inside with limited indoor seating. No outdoor seating. The place definitely gives off an "authentic Asian, to-go vibe." Iykyk. Service: Workers are quick and efficient. They do speak broken English. Food: This quick grab n go is perfect for lazy nights when you don't want to cook. I always get Combo #1 with two sides and one entree. I love their version of fried rice and chow mein. I always try different entrees. So far my favorite is the kung pao chicken and mango chicken! Pricing: Definitely worth its price because they PACK everything until the food starts falling out the box. read more

I had been seeing the social media ad for Hong Kong express for a few days, so I wanted to check it out. Stopped by Friday evening, they had a good line but it was moving fast, they also had many crew members helping, pretty organized and everyone was very friendly. Menu was easy to navigate. I choose the 2 item combo. Rice, chow mein, orange chicken and pork ribs. I also got two sides, eggroll, and cheese wonton. As advertised the food is piled on high. I get home and open up my container. Food is still nice and hot. I began to eat and maybe 10 bites in. I am full. The downside was the eggroll and the wontons were quite cold and really not edible chow mein orange chicken and ribs were delicious. What little I could eat the rice not to my liking. This place if you're very very hungry is best for you, but if you're looking for something lighter maybe go somewhere else. The only reason why I gave four stars instead of five stars was the fact that I had to waste and couldn't finish even a quarter of the food, although not extremely expensive it was still money I threw away. read more

Leo y rush over here just cause you saw some YouTube or TokTok wannabe influencers. It ain't all that. Was in the area and waiting for car to be worked on so took a quick Uber ride on over. Lots of foot traffic in and out of this place. So assumed it was good. Well it was just like any other average fast food Chinese food spot. Ahoy and miss really. We got a 3 item combo. Half fried rice and half chow mein. You all know when you do that, you end up with 3/4 rice and 1/4 chow mein. If you like chow mein, just order chow mein only cause you will get tons of rice otherwise and the rice sucked. Chow mein was honestly the best thing we got. Beef brócoli: meh. Beef kinda tough. Broccoli was old and soggy. Green bean chicken was actually better than the beef broccoli. Jalapeño chicken: meh pass on that one. It's like a never again kinda thing. Should have tried the orange chicken. Seemed everyone was getting that. But we always get orange chicken so we didn't try it. I also ordered an order of salt and pepper wings m, which looked good. However, they were so cold. SMH ALL in all, just another typical average fast food Chinese joint. Just ok. read more
