I was recommended this spot by a friend and so glad we stopped by! It's a cozy restaurant run by this grandpa and grandma and always love to support a small family-run business. There's probably only 12 tables in the restaurant, but even on a weekday lunch, half of the restaurant was filled. Lots of regulars seemed to stop by for take-out as well. The food came out super quick and everything was delicious! I wish I remembered the name of this dish but it's this black pepper fish and it is absolutely so tender and so flavorful. Best fish I've had in a while!! Prices are good, food is good, staff is friendly and kind and will definitely be back here! read more

I got wonton soup and beef chow fun to go. Bland and unexciting. Will continue my search for good Chinese food in Somerset County.

This is a small local pop & pop restaurant with good authentic Chinese (Cantonese) cuisine. I have visited a few times and many patrons are Asians. Their food reminds me of homestyle Chinese entrees like my parents used to make (I'm Chinese-American) and at inexpensive prices. Try this of-the-beaten path homestyle family run restaurant and you'll get a true taste of authentic Cantonese food! read more

Love their food. Very good. Love their egg rolls, dumplings & dinners. The woman at the front is so nice! She's on top of every order. Recognizes the regulars. Very friendly. Always stop there for Chinese on my way home from work. read more

Great spot!! I'm in town visiting friends and I'm staying alone in a hotel. I was wanting an egg roll and some fried rice and theirs hit the spot. It was still hot and fresh after sitting in traffic trying to get back to my room. The girl at the front was so nice. Big egg roll and fresh fried rice. read more

Great Food, friendly Service. Very accommodating to food allergies. Service alway with a smile. Very clean. Our favorite Chinese Restaurant read more

Food was excellent. We had multiple soups, appetizers and entrees. Service was extremely friendly and efficient. The restaurant is laid out very well with plenty of tables to choose from. Overall, highly recommend. read more

Have been to Hong Kong Garden a number of times in the last few months for both takeout and dine in. It is a small family run business that offers great Chinese/Cantonese cuisine. They offer very affordable lunch specials and dishes and the portions are generous. The staff is also very friendly despite them being overwhelmed with take out orders at times. + Discount if you pay with cash read more

Good service and reasonable price. Most customers come here to pick up food to go vs sit in.

Food always good. It doesn't disappoint. My favorite here is the Cantonese fried Noodles and tofu and eggplant in garlic sauce. Owner and daughter is very pleasant too! read more

It wasn't horrible but definitely a mom and pop place and mom and pop need help. When you walk in no one is at the front. I was just going to order to go but decide to stay. One guy is host, waiter and server. He is nice but it too longer than I wanted. You get crispy pieces and sweet and sour sauce as your "chips and salsa." Hot tea and water are also brought out. I ordered fried wontons and was expecting Rangoon. Not what I received. Not bad but not what I ordered and not great. It's fried breading with a little meat of some kind. Main dish I went for shrimp lo mein. It was way too much for just me. It almost has a sweet flavor but overall not very good. The restaurant is clean but loud from two large groups. A 3 group of guys who looked like they came from working out, that was kind of gross read more

We were in the mood for some Asian inspired cuisine, to go. And this place was close and boasted some good Yelp reviews. Our party of five ordered: * Fried Chicken Wings (2 orders): $16 * Spring Rolls (2 orders): $3.50 * Won Ton Soup (quart): $4 * Chicken with Broccoli: $12.50 * Vegetable Fried Rice: $8.50 * Chicken with Snow Peas: $7.50 * Chicken Cashew: $12.50 Total with tax: $68. The dinner portions were substantial, there was easily enough food left over for everyone to have lunch. I don't eat Chinese food often because I find the sauces too heavy or too salty, but Hong Kong Garden's sauces were light and I found the dishes very tasty and not too salty. The chicken wings were excellent, juicy and nicely cooked. The were not heavily fried, which is my personal preference. The chicken was tender in all three chicken dishes, but especially so for the Chicken with Snow Peas. My favorite dish was the Chicken Cashew, I thought the sauce was nicely executed. Would I order from here again? Absolutely. As Chinese cuisine goes, this dinner warranted five stars. read more

We have been eating here for years. The pan fried noodles are the best as are all the other dishes. Also the cod in black pepper sauce, ma poo tofu and the leaves of the pea pod in fresh garlic sauce. Not a fancy restaurant but comfy read more

This spot is a no frills but hits every single time type of place. They've got all your standard Chinese-American dishes and they all taste so delicious! One time, they mixed up our order with another persons and they gave us a soup on the house as a 'sorry'. That's great customer service right there! Also they're not on any delivery platforms I believe - that's when you know they're so good and getting enough business they don't need to be on there! read more

The food is delicious and the service is excellent. We typically order shrimp egg foo young with sauce on the side, egg lo mein, veggie fried rice, orange chicken, sesame chicken, sautéed bok choy, and chicken and broccoli. Not greasy like most Chinese places. We love this place. We mainly order take out. They always know my order when I call. When I pick up it's always busy and full of happy people eating great food. read more

Great service and food. Local friends have been going to this restaurant for over 20 years and they never disappoint. It says a lot.

The food at Hong Kong Garden is wildly inconsistent. I had been there a few times years ago and wasn't impressed with the food but liked it well enough. I'm also active on the neighborhood app Nextdoor, and someone new to town asked what everyone's favorite local Chinese restaurant was. An overwhelming number of responses named Hong Kong Garden, and the high praise made my family and I want to give it another try last month. We were impressed! We got a variety of dishes and savored them all, with the General Tso's Chicken being a stand out. Last week we were craving that amazing General Tso's Chicken, so I called in a take out order. The chicken was so chewy, stringy, and dry that we threw it out. Just awful. My husband even questioned if I had possibly gone to another restaurant by mistake since the quality of this dish was a world away from what we'd been served a couple weeks before. Will I give Hong Kong Garden another chance? Maybe next year. read more

This is by far the most authentic Hong Kong style Chinese restaurant in Somerset county, perhaps in NJ. The ingredients are fresh hi and the dishes are well prepared. Just stay away from non-chineses dishes, such as General Tso's chicken. read more

We wanted to like it more. We just didn't. Everything was either ok or not good. Service was good as we didn't like an entree and they took it off the bill and offered to replace it. But nothing was tasty which is a shame because it gets such good reviews. read more

We were craving Chinese food (okay, I really wanted New Jersey beef chow fun), and found this place that was not too far from our hotel. The service was good. We were promptly greeted and sat down upon entering. I ordered the shrimp toast and beef chow fun. Sadly the food was not up to expectations. The shrimp toast was too greasy, and the beef chow fun needed more seasoning. It's a shame, because I love shrimp toast, and it's not something that I see on a lot of mom and pop Chinese menus. read more

Hong Kong Garden was recommended to me by a friend and I'm so glad that I decided to give it a try! I called in an order for 7 people around lunch time. I was initially hesitant to do this, but the person who took my order was happy to have my business. He repeated back the entire order to make sure it was accurate and said it would only take 20-25 minutes. Upon arrival the staff was extremely nice. I expected to wait a little but my order was already waiting for me in the front! We went over the order and receipt to double check that I had everything. I was so pleased with the service that I tried to leave a cash tip & it was declined. Instead of a tip I was told to come back again! I ordered the lunch portion of the broccoli in garlic sauce and it was absolutely delicious. The portions are the perfect size for lunch. I will definitely be a returning customer! Amazing customer service and great food! read more

Very busy with pickup. Wife did not like lobster sauce. My shrimp lomein was huge and tasty

I came back here for another takeout meal. This time 4 items were tried, which are below. Sa-Cha Beef ($12.95) - This consisted of beef sautéed in water chestnuts, red peppers, and broccoli in a Sa-Cha sauce. This was categorized as a spicy dish, but was not at all. It was still good and flavorful. The beef was tender and sauce was appetizing. Wonton Soup ($4) - The dumplings were filled and cooked appropriately, no complaints regarding this. Roast Pork Lo Mein ($8.95) - The noodles were somewhat dry, but adding sauces from various dishes helped that aspect. There was plenty of pork present in the dish. Chicken with Broccoli ($6.50) - This was another satisfying dish. The chicken and broccoli were cooked just right and the sauce was a positive too. read more

Outstanding Chinese food. Served family style with decent portions. The owners were very accommodating and sat us even though we walked in a half hour before closing. read more

Amazing local spot for basic and authentic Chinese food. Growing up in NYC we have those 5 star spots. But don't let anyone ever tell you that you can't find good quality Chinese food elsewhere, yet alone a smaller town like Franklin twp. Service is great as well. Consistent for take out orders. (No delivery fyi). read more

Their food is always fresh and excellent. The atmosphere is friendly, the service is fast. This is a family owned business that we love to support. read more

Delicious foods, fresh ingredients, good service and friendly owner. 5 stars! Will surely come back. read more

Was in the area so was looking for a quick and cheap meal. I got the combination chicken w/ broccoli that comes with fried rice and an egg roll. The rice could've used a little more soy sauce/salt but the egg roll and chicken w/broccoli were AMAZING! Everything was ready within 10 minutes and the food was still hot once I got home. Definitely would recommend! :) read more

Hong Kong Garden - The combination chicken and broccoli that comes with fried rice and an egg roll - Chinese Near Me - Somerset, New Jersey

Kinda ugh..takeout on Thursday 6pm. Dumplings were gummy but tasty. Kung Po chicken was inedible. Chicken gristly with awful rancid taste. Tossed the whole container. read more

A convenient Chinese restaurant . I ordered food from this restaurant many times. The owner is very friendly..

The service is great and it's lovely inside. The food is well priced and delicious! Will definitely be returning for dine-in and takeout! Definitely recommend the shrimp lo mein and the wonton soup. read more

Damnnnn... idk what happened but the beef chow fun did NOT fucking slap this time. Beef was good, but some of the noods were dry as hell clumped together. Like biting into hard, day old mochi. And mans got my soup wrong. Crying rn read more

Being new to the area we were looking for a good Chinese restaurant. Well this one hit it out of the park. It is located in a strip mall that doesn't look great, but walk inside and you will be delighted. As we sat down and had a nice pot of tea and very crispy noodles. We went with the 'family dinner' for 2. Soup - hot and sour soup was tasty a little thicker that I really like, but would order it again. Soup - wonton was excellent, the broth was very tasty and the wontons had a good bite to them. Egg roll - a little on the bland side Dinner - chicken chow mein was delicate and tasty. The vegetables were cooked perfectly and the chicken was tender. Dinner - hunan triple delight- the beef and chicken were also cooked perfectly, fork tender. The shrimp were nicely cooked. The plate was full of vegetables that were cooked perfect for me, tender but still a little crispy Pork fried rice was great, the pork was fresh and delicious. We will be back. read more

Great place. Been coming there for years. Food is great. Nice and friendly people. Singapore Mei Fun my favorite.

A Cantonese family run this place and definitely have their loyal customers. Read Lily H's review for a run down of the history of this restautant. I arrived on a Friday night with some vegetarians and the owner gave us some off-menu items (tofu, green beans and eggplant) that are only on the Chinese menu. That was tasty. The appetizers also has some vegetarian choices: scallion pancakes, veg dumplings and another tofu dish. We ordered veg chow mein and cod in black pepper sauce, which came light battered and in a spicy sauce. Black pepper seems to be popular in this part of NJ as it's the 2nd spot that serves fish/shrimp like that. Overall, the best Chinese food in the area, but not a traditionally classic Cantonese menu. I'd come back to explore the menu again with some meat-lovers! I was told you can BYOB, but there's not liquor store in this quiet plaza. read more

This is a OK place to get Chinese food in the Somerset area. I would not get the egg rolls though, they're extremely GREASY. The customer service sucks! The person who answered rushed me when I was making my order. Constantly asking " is that all ?" I ordered the lunch combo shrimp and broccoli that comes with white rice and your choice of soup & a egg roll. That was it . but he made it seem like I was taking up a lot of time. Also, THEY DO NOT DO DELIVERY. When I went to pick it up, no one was at the front. When I walked in and said " hello?" Someone walked up and seemed very irritated that I was there. THEY WERE SITTING IN THE BACK OF THE RESTAURANT AND SAW ME WALK IN SO IM NOT UNDERSTANDING THE FRUSTRATION The 1 star is for how hot my food was and the fresh/crunchiness of the broccoli. My shrimp seemed gritty, wonton's in the soup were over cooked and again, GREASY ass egg roll. read more

Great food, great people. Service is fast and they're attentive. It's not a very big restaurant so it can pretty packed sometimes. Food doesn't disappoint though; authentic. I usually order their eggplant with garlic sauce and salt and pepper pork chop. You can never go wrong with those dishes; best in the area. read more

Still my go to place for Chinese food. Recently, we catered from them twice and it was a hit! And the most convenient thing was that they only required me to call a couple hours beforehand, whereas most places make you reserve a day or more in advance. I love the family atmosphere there. And the quality of the beef is second to none! Our personal favorite is the Cod Fish in Black Pepper Sauce. Give it a try. read more
