    I came over to check things out when I saw that Big Sky down the street had a sign up saying they'd temporarily be at HK Express. I'm a little confused about what's happening but it seems like either the two restaurants might be sharing a location moving forward or Big Sky is closing and selling their recipes to HK Express. Unfortunately, HK Express was not yet serving dishes from the Big Sky menu, but the owner was super nice and explained to me that they were in the process of merging and would likely serve some of the Big Sky menu in the near future. Hong Kong Express is similar to places like Panda Express, with warmed food trays that you choose from to make a combo with rice/noodles. A promotion is running right now for buy two get one 50% off, or buy three get one free; I ended up getting four Combo A's. It's been feeding me for days! Very generous with the carb portions, and for the price, I can't complain about the amount of protein. I think I got the largest portions for the orange chicken and the sweet and sour chicken. For the dishes that have veggies mixed in, it can be a little luck of the draw with how much protein you get. I really liked the black pepper chicken, which was velveted to be super soft. Spicy items had a nice kick and all of them were saucey and delicious. I would recommend getting items that are supposed to be crispy only if the trays seem freshly made, else wise they can be a bit soggy... Not that I care with this kind of food, personally. The interior is a little dingy/run down but seemed clean enough. Service was wonderful-- much more than I'd expect from a Chinese fast food establishment. Big thanks to the owner for being really sweet and including some free sides to try. It was really good, and I'll definitely be back when the midnight cravings strike!

    While the service at ordering was kind, the food itself did not match. Upon having it, I was met with a bland tasting kung pao chicken, vegetable ingredients were undercooked, and the spare ribs were bland too. The chow mein was the only thing that had any flavor. Unfortunate really

    33. Spare Rib with Black Bean Sauce with a cooked fly

    FLY COOKED INTO FOOD better food quality would be great :/ tldr: i ordered pickup via doordash, picked up the order, came back home to eat, ate half and noticed a fly cooked INTO a black bean spare rib after eating part of that same rib (im sad and i can see wings on this poor fly)

    Combo C: Half fried rice and half chow mein with orange chicken and BBQ pork.

    This family-owned restaurant has been a staple on University Avenue for a very long time. Their format is familiar to anyone who's ever eaten at Panda House: Pick a combination of 1-3 items and choice of rices, chow mein, or both. They do a brisk delivery business via Uber Eats, Doordash, and other services, as well as take-out or dine-in. The food is fresh, and occasionally, they'll run out of some items. I'd rather they 86 something than serve it subpa. Rating, this is hard without having a rotary scale for the process instead of aggregate scores. I'd say 3.8 but can't 'round up' to 4, for example, because there are reasons it's not a solid 4. The food is really salty, for one thing. I didn't realize how much until later on when I felt dehydrated. The leftovers the next day confirmed my suspicions. Nevertheless, the BBQ Pork was pretty good, and I loved the orange chicken, too. Fried rice is pretty simple here, no prizes, but the chow mein is decent. I like the friendliness of the owners and staff, so that's also a plus. I'd dine again in case you're wondering, the food does look fresh and inviting.

    Combo Plate C 3 item with Orange Chicken, teriyaki chicken and sweet and sour chicken. Half chow mein and fried rice.

    First off, I've never been here. I'm from the other side of town near Madison st where there is Ho Ho Chinese food. I've been a fan of them for years and years. On to the review here at Hong Kong. The place is tucked away in a mini mall, it was almost bear closing time, there was a small family eating inside. I was greeted right away when I walked in, the staff were nice and asked what I wanted to order. I asked for the 3 item combo with orange, teriyaki and sweet and sour chicken with the 1/2 fried rice and chow mein. I noticed right away the sweet and sour chicken wasn't dry popcorn chicken like at Ho Ho's, but instead it was saucy like the orange chicken. I got home with my food and basically ate almost everything. The teriyaki sauce they give on the side was so delicious. The food was so good and hot.. I am definitely trying this place again, I want to try the mandarin chicken. It looked good.

    I went here because Big Sky Bistro seems to share the restaurant with them. Big Sky's food is still hood however until they move next door to their own unit I will not be going back (maybe just for rake out). The restroom is a complete turn off!!! It was filthy and smelly! The dirty urinal, toilet bowl and sink are disgusting! And why is there a huge open trash bin inside the small restroom? THAT WAS UNACCEPTABLE, IF THE TOILET THAT IS FOR EVERYONE TO SEE IS DIRTY, I WONDER HOW DIRTY THE KITCHEN MIGHT BE?

    I was at my hotel and craving Chinese food so I saw the very positive and also negative reviews so I wanted to judge this for myself and so glad I did!! So hold up, where are all these bad reviews coming from!??? I just had one of the most flavorful shrimp fried rice dishes I have ever had like in my life and I haven't at some of the best Chinese places across the county. The rice was full of flavor and big large shrimp was used unlike other places that use cocktail shrimp. There was plenty of shrimp in the rice as well and didn't skimp on it like other places. I can't say anything about the service since I had ordered out nor the ambiance. However, based on the taste and overall flavor of the rice and the hot and sour soup that was also on point, I would definitely recommend and I would eat here again. This was a very comforting meal and a super good fried rice that I will go back for next time I'm on the area! If you are looking for a good Chinese place, give this place a try! Don't pay attention to the naysayers or negative reviews! This is a good option to eat at!!

    I was really craving Chinese food since I'm away from home, so my friend and I decided to try…read moresomewhere new and came across Jade China. I'm honestly really glad we did. The restaurant itself is super spacious, and since we came at kind of an odd time after the lunch rush, it was really calm and relaxing inside. We ordered the Salt and Pepper Calamari, and it was really good. The calamari was crispy, lightly seasoned, and still tender inside, which made it super satisfying to eat. I do wish it came with a dipping sauce, but we already had sweet and sour sauce on the table and ended up using that instead, which actually paired really well with it. We also got the Chicken Pad Thai, which honestly impressed me a lot. The portion size was huge for the price, I think it was around $12-13, which felt really worth it for how much food we got. The noodles were flavorful, well cooked, and had a good balance of savory and slightly sweet flavors without feeling too heavy. The people working there were really welcoming and kind, and it felt like a family-run restaurant, which made the experience feel even more comforting and homey.

    March 2026 Came in…read moreon a Sunday craving mapo tofu. I checked the menu and there it was. Service: typical Chinese restaurant. Don't expect refills or conversations about the day or the meaning of life. Bathroom: clean. Toilet and a urinal. Food: Before my main course arrived, I was served a small cup of egg drop soup and some crispy noodles with some type of sweet dipping sauce. Considering these were complimentary, I'm not going to complain. Soup was my okay. my mapo tofu came with a side of white rice. Upgrading to brown or fried rice will cost you an additional $1. This is the most bizarre mapo tofu I've ever had. Rather than the traditional ground pork and wood ear mushrooms, this came with long strips of fried pork and no mushrooms. I'm also used to thicker sauce, but this one was very watery. A tad spicy, but not over bearing. Maybe a recipe from a different Provence of china? Not what I was looking for. $15.00 later and a fortune cookie...and I was done. Not sure if I'd come here for the mapo tofu again. Others in the restaurant offered the 2-3 item combos. Typical orange chicken or Kung Pao chicken w rice or chow mein. Not my thing.
