3.5 if I could, but not so much for the food. Chow mein could use a little work, seems like I was eating a cabbage dish instead of a noodle one. The orange chicken is always a disappointment, way too much breading on it. I liked the house special chicken, and the garlic beef. Those were pretty good. Cream cheese wontons, not enough cheese, too much of the wonton wrapper. What has me liking this place is their good customer service. Everytime I come in, the workers encourage me to sample the items before committing to something. And once you decide, they don't shy away from filling your togo box full to the brim. I had them cater for me once at work and they were on time, got me free fortune cookies, food was hot... it was pretty good and I don't remember being all that expensive. Keep in mind that this place only accepts cash... wish that it kept with the times. I wouldn't want to eat inside the place because I would feel dirty there. read more

I was a little early for my nail appointment and since this place was right next door and I hadn't eat lunch yet, I decided to grab a bite to eat here. I have to say it was the worse mistake I made. I ordered a 2 item combo and an order of fried wontons. Total price $8.42. I gave the cashier $20.42 and told her to keep the food I ordered in the front while I use the ladies room. When I came out..I decided to order a drink and that's when I remembered I didn't get my change from earlier. I confronted the cashier and told her what happened. She than argued with me and said she had given me the change. That's a load of bull crap...I know for a fact I didn't receive my change and I can tell by her face she was lying. I made a huge ruckus but it's her word against mine and the owner wouldn't budge. Though I know I was partially to blame for what happened, I was so pissed off. You think people would be more honest. I just hate greedy people. Oh well, she will just have to live with the fact that she ripped someone off. Ugh...it's a lesson learned for me, DON't forget to get your change. The food itself wasn't all that great. Really greasy and taste wise it was meh. I will never step foot in this place ever agian. read more

From the moment you step into the store, the workers here greet you with so much kindness. I tried the beef and broccoli with chow mein and I loved how it was not too salty or too sweet but flavorful. The portions are larger compared to the local Panda Express as well. read more

friendly service but the food sucks. well, I ordered the chopsuey chicken and rice. I hardly got any chicken and what I did get is mostly fatty tissue and chewy connecting tissue. read more

Hong Kong Express - Chinese Near Me - Stanton, California

See all

This is my go to Chinese fast food restaurant. Before we even get to the food quality part, let me remind you how cheap this place is compared to Panda Express and other fake Chinese fast food chain stores. The amount of food they give me for a 2 item combo (~$8), I can eat it for lunch, and save some for dinner and still be satisfyingly full. So usually I only get 1 item combo for ~$6.50 and not finish the whole thing all at once. Noodles and rice, holy cow it's juicy and delicious. As for the entres food, I have tried more than half of the items they got there. Only the BBQ pork was kinda a let down, because I don't like fat or unflavorful meat. But honestly, it's much better than the typical BBQ pork people eat anyways. The rest of the food here is excellent. That's all I can say. Customer service is awesome here too. The ladies here always smile and so bubbly. read more

Broccoli beef and teriyaki chicken were delish. Chow mein very good but rice was a little on the dry side. I will come back and maybe just get white rice instead. read more

Great food! Very Friendly! great portions for the amount of money that you spend and very clean as well. We eat here at least once a week. I recommend it to anyone. read more

Hong Kong Express has become a staple on those lazy times after work that I don't feel like cooking and want something fast and cheap. And to be honest, that happens often enough, that they always say, "Hey, good to see you again!" (Kinda embarrassing). Now that we are moving tomorrow, I would be upset with myself if I don't give HKE the shout out they deserve. I first discovered HKE when I had a potluck party and needed a party platter FAST! The food was good, the service was great, and the price was amazing!!! I usually don't expect much from a Chinese takeout, but they really are good! I have ordered most of the items on the menu, but my favorite is plain white rice with the House Special chicken and beef broccoli. They load up the food - the Styrofoam filled to the rim and overflowing with the Chinese goodness. They have so many customers that they are constantly refilling the counter, and my food is always fresh. I love that everything is cooked well and flavorful. Good bye, HKE! I'll miss you! read more

I love this place!!! I have been coming here for over 15years! There orange chicken does not compare to anything else. So do good!!!!

I've been coming here for years now, and it' still my favorite Chinese fast food place ever. It's a bajillion times better then Panda Express, which in my opinion, caters to "American" tastes (too sweet, yuck). Here it actually tastes real. I always order the one item combo- chow mein and BBQ pork with the LARGE container of hot sauce. They used to give the large containers without you asking, but now they switched to small ones so if you don't ask you'll be disappointed (if you like spice that is). Sometimes I order an egg flower soup too. Orange chicken here is good, and the broccoli beef you order for the broccoli, not the beef. They used to give ginormous portions back in the day. Now it's gotten smaller, but it'll still fill you up. Plus this place is pretty cheap. Also this place is CASH only. Don't expect to bring a large party here - take out is best. Oh they have those BANG drinks too. I don't drink them, but maybe you do? They also open at 11 am and close at 10 pm (I think). read more

Hong Kong Express - It might look good on the outside but no bueno on the inside couldnt eat this :/ - Chinese Near Me - Stanton, California

Hong Kong Express is a restaurant that serves you ALOT of food. You can literally share a two combo plate with three people, but the food is okay. It's not like wow it's amazing. There's not that very much taste in the food. It's bland. read more

This is my go to Chinese food place. They give al much food and I'm never disappointed. I moved to cypress and still cant find a place with these good of prices and that taste this good. The only thing that sucks is that its cash only. The workers here are always so nice and we loving seeing them. read more

I had a craving for Chinese food and this place was nearby. The food was awful. I ordered the orange chicken, which had bones in it, wasn't expecting that. The broccoli beef looked good but my broccoli want cooked well and the beef was not chewable because it was all fat. The rice was good if that means anything to anyone and the service was quick and kind. Huge portions. Just a headsup they only accept cash. read more

The worst chinese food i've ever had. I had their orange chicken and it was inedible. It was so hard i couldn't bite into it at all. I ended up throwing it all away. Never going here again. Food quality is definitely poor. read more

there food is always just what I need when I crave Chinese! The ladies are always nice and welcoming.

Hands down the best Chinese food place I've ever been to. They always give large portions and actually fill the trays. I've been going here since I was little and the workers are absolutely amazing and just have the best attitude. Their service is absolutely amazing and I highly recommend this place. The only thing I don't really like about this place is that they take CASH ONLY but that has never been a problem for me personally as I usually carry cash anyways. read more

This place I believe has the BEST chinese fast food!! lol.. They're very generous with their food, MOSt of the times. Try the house special chicken! YUMMY! read more

For a quick Chinese dinner it was surprisingly good. Got the 3 item combo and got plenty of food, enough for leftovers. Orange chicken was good, broccoli and beef was good, although it was more broccoli and 3 pieces of beef, and the mushroom chicken was my favorite of the three! The Service was amazing the two ladies that were behind the counter made me feel very special and welcomed and let me try a lot of the items. Didn't feel rushed at all like Chinese places like these do. I have only one thing, which is why I gave it 4 stars, is that their portions were a little off. I got A lot of Orange Chicken and Broccoli- Beef, but for my last entree that I ordered they put it in a small box that only fit 4 very small pieces of chicken and 3 little mushrooms. Was kind of jipped from my last entree and it was my favorite :( BUT all in all it was good and I'll be back. read more

I like this place. They have flavorful food... I'be only tried the orange chicken and house special chicken with chow mien, but it's pretty good... Better than panda I would say... They give such big portion too. The woman serving was super nice! I would come here again read more

Hong Kong Express - After eating most of it, I still have so much left!!! Great portion! :-) - Chinese Near Me - Stanton, California

Hong Kong Express - 1 item combo; half chow mein half fried rice and chop suey chicken - Chinese Near Me - Stanton, California

Kind friendly staff, awesome choices, and home made sembal in an unassuming location. Got the spicy chicken with onion and jalapeño slices. Fried to crispy perfection! read more

I remember when this place actually did serve $1 chinese food (and I'm not talking about the rice). Now it's moved up a few quarters but the amount of food they serve you has not changed. They seriously load up those styrofoam containers until they barely close without the top flying open. Order a two item combo and you pretty much need a dolly to bring the tray back to your table. The owners here (a Vietnamese guy and a Korean woman) are fantabulous and know many people by face (they never actually get to know your name, but they'll treat you like family). I loved this place so much growing up I actually ate here for my PROM...by choice! Now I have to go and cry thinking about how ghetto that is! read more

I love this place! Ive been going here for many years and they are always super nice. They give lots of food and it tastes goodddd.

It's a great hole in the wall place. Gives you a lot of food for a little price. Was my first time there and will not be my last. I was surprised by all the rice and shrimp you get. Really like this place. read more

Good food fresh won ton is the best I every had and good service ps been come here for 7 years always plenty of food for two.

it's hong kong express...it's like the ghetto panda express...but what's special about this location?...they serve mountains and mountains of food....it's insane...a 3 item combo for about $5...is enough to feed an entire family.....yes...many many budget meals here with the boys back in the days... read more

I'm full Chinese and I still love going to hole in the wall quick serve Chinese good places. What impressed me here was the customer service. I came in and was greeted with a smile from one of the young gals and she made friendly conversation. So often I go to eateries and the young kids are full of attitude. Anyway I got the spicy chicken and mushroom chicken. The spicy chicken is a must try. The portions are huge and it was super cheap. Better than panda express people. read more

my favorite chinese place. the spicy chicken is awesome!! very friendly service, they know us by name. read more

Hong Kong Express - Chinese Near Me - Stanton, California

First time here, cash only. We had been warned, so we came prepared. Ambience is dull and unadorned. Not many seats if it gets busy, with a lot of floor space. Gal taking our order did not once smile at us, but other workers were very welcoming to other customers. Maybe we got a dud! We shared a 2 entree (my husband, me, and 18mo old) for lunch (again warned, lots of food!). We ordered the spicy chicken, which was just really salted, and orange chicken, which was just ok. Chow mein was good, but nothing on our plate was super amazing. There are better places out there, but it was ok to try once. Probably won't come back. read more

I've been going here for a decade now and it's the best Chinese food take out place. I usually get the chow mien, orange chicken, cream cheese wonton and shrimp fried rice. The people who work here are also very friendly! read more

The noodles were perfectly tender and flavorful and the fried rice was so good. Its pretty hard to find a Chinese food place that has the rice and noodles done so well. The orange chicken had a really good flavor, it wasn't a ball of crunch and no flavor like a lot of place usually are when in a hurry. The atmosphere is very much like a home and the staff is super nice and friendly. When it's busy it is pretty crowded but worth it! So is trying their Thai tea boba! Oh and the place is cash only, but they have an in store ATM or just bring cash on your way here. read more

Service was really disappointing! I came here craving the hot and sour soup, but the male worker had given a large order of the soup to the guest after me. He had already scooped the rest of the soup for the day when I had ordered it first before them. It was unfair and I had left and decided to go elsewhere read more

I decided to make a stop here since me and my bf just move into garden grove and we ddnt have anything to cook or what not !!!! So I decided to try this place out!!! Good was ok, better than Panda Express!! Only con www they didn't accept credit cards!!! So I was limited to what I can buy since I dnt have much cash on hand!!! I like to charge for everything because it's just so much easier!!! One swipe and its complete! I had the bbq ribs which was good!! The noodles was ok!!! read more

Love this place and our family come here a lot pretty much every weekend. Before our trip to Disney we stop here grab our lunch. Service is great all the time; this establishment is owner by Cambodian/Chinese man. Definitely family owned; food is great too. They give out huge portion for the price there always hooking up. Cash only and they do have ATM. read more

Been coming here for over 10 years and this place never fails me. The chow mein is better than other places, orange chicken is delish, and the staff is super friendly! read more

The portion is a lot. I don't like their brocolli beef and black peppered beef. The beef texture is funny...like fake meat.

Like everyone says. If you're looking for a TON of food for cheap. Then this is the place for you! I've been coming here for years. Still the same owners. it's ghetto whole in the wall Chinese food. But I prefer that over Panda Express. This is probably THE BEST whole in the wall $1 Chinese place that I've ever been too. All the locals know about this place. read more

This is Fast Food Chinese food yo'. And for the price you get a hellalot of it. They dont skimp on quantity here, you get a lot of food. This place has been up since i was in high school (1990's). I really dont have any gripes about this place, i know what I'm getting every time and its good. They even offer party trays at a really great price! read more
