It's been years since I have been in so I wanted to give it a shot. They had a good lunch crowd so I considered that a good sign . The place hadn't changed much but was very clean and appealing. I ordered what was once my 'regular' sweet and sour chicken special with rice and egg roll. It arrived quickly and with generous portions which was another pleasant surprise. The chicken seemed very fresh and crispy but maybe a little under seasoned but the egg roll was very tasty. The staff was very friendly, very much how I remembered the place. Glad to say the Hong Kong Inn is again a repeater for me! read more

This place is much more solid than 3.6 stars. Soups are good renditions of the style soups. Cashew chicken is a fine example of Spfd style cashew chicken. The portions are ample proportions. The service is fast and efficient. The place is always clean and tables turned. This place is great and been around forever. You're not around as long as they have been....and (not) be darn good. read more

Food is not appetizing. Rice is super bland and the orange chicken is just like fried chicken with a sauce

43 years old and never have gave a review specially a bad one. We went in as a family of 3 around 7:30 order food paid and asked for tip while paying which is no big deal cause they bring food and drinks you would think. We had absolutely no service from anyone or anyone to check to see if we needed anything. A few minutes into eating a young man started sweeping the floor dusting from the back booth across our booth flying by and he even swept literally right at our table. Just horrible all the way around! read more

Cashew chicken wasn't very tasty...the sauce was a bland, thick gravy. The fried rice and egg roll were very plain. The portions are large, which explains why the lunch crowd was plentiful. If you're looking for better food, seek elsewhere. read more

Flavorless sauce laden servings if nothing memorable except the one tiny plastic fork which break when you use it.

I have been to Hong Kong three times, because it is close to my house, I loved their food, but the customer service is really bad. I came through the drive-through the lady opened the window and practically threw the bag at me, there had been no disagreement, or anything negative said, I paid with Apple Pay, she handed my phone back to me, She closed the window, and the next time the window opened she practically threw the food at me. read more

Been craving Chinese and we stopped in to eat. Place was very nice and clean. Staff was really friendly. Food was great, lots of food for the price. Actually was better than the other 2 HK inns. Wish they served fried rice. read more

A very mixed bag of quality. I ordered general Tao's chicken, crab ragoon, and pot stickers. The chicken was easily the worst part of my order. While the inside felt alright the outside was slightly mushy and the sauce was bland to the point that after eating 3 to 4 pieces I just threw it away. The rice that came with it was a slight disappointment but not insulting, it was bland but it's white rice so it's to be expected. Only criticism I have of the rice is that it was very slightly dry. The crab ragoon was alright, a little too much cream cheese taste for my liking but some people prefer that. The sauce that came with it was also just alright, not very flavorful, but not bad. Overall the ragoon was meh, not bad enough to not eat it but not good enough to recommend it. The pot stickers and egg roll were the stars of my meal and are the only reasons this isn't a 1 or 2 star review. Both had a good crunch to them when biting in and tasted like they were made with fresh meat and vegetables. The pot stickers paired perfectly with their soy sauce and felt like the flavor was boosted to it's max potential. While I've only had their general Tao's chicken I don't know if I'd trust them with the other flavors. So if you're hungry for Chinese food but don't want chicken it's probably worth giving a chance as the portions to price is pretty good but if you want chicken look elsewhere. If for some reason you just want pot stickers or egg rolls definitely go here. read more

Food was good and hot. A little bit of wait in drive thru. Friendly staff. Recommend. Would go there again.

I used to really like this place, and would often grab lunch here for around $6-$7. I stopped by the other day any their prices have really going up. It's more like $10-$11 now. Okay, fine, the economy. But if they're going to raise the prices that much, too bad they can't invest in better containers with snap on lids. I sat the bag level on my seat and when I arrived home 5 minutes later, all of the sauce was loose in the bottom of the bag. The cheap styrofoam container had a hole in it. Food was just okay. While prices have gone up, it seems quality has gone down. read more

Hong Kong Inn Restaurant - All of my sauce ended up in the bag - Chinese Near Me - Springfield, Missouri

We stopped in to eat and kill some time. One if those things were accomplished. We are food. The food was good but not great. Service was good. The food was served so fast. Therefore, I didn't get to kill time....lol I was disappointed that they wouldn't allow us to substitute a pork egg roll with a cheaper vegetable egg roll. We could substitute with a wonton or crab Rangoon. Neither of which appeals to me. read more

This may be our new go to for Springfield cashew chicken. We have always gone to Leon's (R.I.P.) but they have gotten so expensive and smaller portions. This place was recommended to us and we found the food very comparable, good service and a clean eating area. It's not a complete sit down like Leon's, you counter order and they bring it out to you. Good experience. read more

Wonderful, fresh food every time! Not authentic Chinese food at all but it's tasty, and the portions and price are outstanding!

The Cashew Chicken is the best to get in my opinion . The food is always hot and fresh. Definitely gotta try this place each time you drive through Springfield. read more

Probably the cleanest Chinese restaurant in town, this place is very well managed and the food is exceptional with a reasonable price. You won't be disappointed. read more

Was driving through from Columbus, OH...been on the road for 10 plus hours pulling a trailer. We called ahead to ask how late they stay open because we wanted to stop and stretch our legs. We were told the lobby closes at 8:30 and the drive thru at 9:00. We arrive and pull on the lobby doors at 8:24pm. Locked. We called and ask if they would let us in. The girl answering the phones said "we don't know how to unlock the doors. Once they are locked they can't be unlocked." Yah. She just said that. So are they locked in? How do the employees leave? How do any customers get in the next day? How do the customers that are currently dining inside at this very moment get out? Are they stuck in there forever with the employees? " I don't know what to do. You can come through the drive thru"....yah. She just said that too. Not sure I would trust these people with your food if they don't even know how to unlock a door. read more

Perfect for college students, came here my first week of college and got the dinner plate with a side and a drink for like 13 bucks. I am 6'5" and 315 pounds and I had enough to 1. Fill up 2. Eat prolly more than I should have and 3. Have enough leftovers for another meal. If you are looking for a lot of decently good food, this is the place. read more

Springfield is the unlikely birthplace of that Chinese take out specialty -- cashew chicken. Now, I never order that dish anywhere, but here I am at the birthplace. So, I give it a shot at this sturdy looking Chinese place. The chicken is well fried and the sauce is pretty good. I would have liked more cashews. But, it was very ok. But not spicy at all. I will resume not ordering the dish. But this seems to be a good spot to get it read more

oh my I love Hong Kong in the food is so good prices are very fair and wait time is not a factor. I love the hot sour soup and the crab Rangoon is to die for...,.I visit there at least twice a month. today I ordered beef and broccoli it was great read more

Recommended by a friend. Wonderful service. Fast service. Big portions. Cheap eats! 4.49 daily special = sweet & sour chicken or cashew chicken, rice, & egg roll. I ordered all white meat cashew chicken, 3 crab rangoons, & coke for $9 and change... Could barely finish mine & my friend, who ordered the same couldn't finish hers! read more

Hong Kong Inn Restaurant - Daily special. - Chinese Near Me - Springfield, Missouri

I think the food from this establishment is always good. We enjoy several items on the menu. We like the cashew chicken, sweet & sour chicken, the beef lo mein, and the fried rice dishes (I really like the pork fried rice best). I have also had the beef and broccoli and I liked it as well. My favorite thing on the menu is the crab rangoon. The daily special or the meal for two is the deal to go for if you want classic Springfield style cashew chicken or sweet & sour. The meal for two comes with two orders or cashew chicken and/or sweet & sour and 6 crab rangoon. It does not come with egg rolls. At under 12.00 dollars, it is a great quick meal for two people. The inside this location is always clean. We often just do drive thru and the service is always great. read more

Hong Kong Inn Restaurant - Sweet & Sour Chicken Daily Special. - Chinese Near Me - Springfield, Missouri

Came in for a quick lunch. Was a bit hungry so I went for the large order of General Chicken. With a water still less than ten bucks. Nice. Drink in hand I go to my table. Maybe 5 minutes later, I kid you not, a serving platter sized plate is brought to my table. On it a pile of General chicken dripping in sauce and a heap of rice. Challenge accepted. With less shame that I probably should of had I finished the whole thing off. Sauce nice but not unique. I'd say the same for the fried rice. Plenty good but not a stand out. A-OK all the way. Next time going for a regular but will definitely be back. The Good Fast lunch. Low prices. HUGE portions on the large. Friendly clean atmosphere. The Bad I ate way to much. The Ugly Nada, this place does exactly what it set out to do. Sell good Chinese food and wallet friendly prices. read more

I have this friend. She's from Springfield. For the last fifteen years, I have heard her proclaim the virtues of Springfield cashew chicken. What's the big deal? I now know. I understand the glazed look of desire that lights up her face. I have seen heaven and it's a dumpy looking dive on Sunshine. Oh, the paper plate of perfectly crispy chicken smothered in some sort of murky brown gravy atop a bed of rice. Appetizing looking? No. Gastronomical nirvana? Yes. The restaurant was clean, the service prompt, and the portions generous. Our host (a realtor tasked with making us fall in love with Springfield) was appalled that we insisted on being taken to her family's favorite Chinese place instead of one of Springfield's great upscale restaurants. O Realtor Recruiter Type Lady, you did your job well. We are moving to Springfield. read more

Out of every Chinese food restaurant we've tried in Springfield Missouri this one is just like the rest. It really kind of sucks. Haven't met a single cook at a single Chinese restaurant in Springfield that actually knows how to cook Chinese. These guys specialize in flavorless brown gravy on everything. Going to go to panda express next time just so we can have some consistency. Such a disappointment read more

I've been Hong Kong loyal for literally my whole adult life. I always get #17 and it's usually one of my favorite things! Tonight was a different story. The food came out super fast and the vegetables weren't cooked hardly at all. I should have taken a clue from that... I still ate half of it. Loyal, like I said. I've literally been to the bathroom 20 times since arriving home. Thanks, but no thanks for the cleanse. Sadly, You lost a customer today. read more

Just below par, the low prices is reflected in the food. Just kind of mushy Asian food, the rice seemed to be cooked in some sort of old grease and had a soggy texture. The General has a corn syrup flavor to the sauce. Great for poor college students and the frugal. read more

The best Chinese food in town hands down! Always so fresh and always consistently good. Top 5: general chicken add broccoli, cashew chicken, combination fried rice, chicken lo mein (spicy), egg drop soup! read more

My wife and I have eaten at Mimi's Hong Kong Inn for many years now, and it's one of our favorites. The portions are plentiful, the staff is friendly, the restaurant is always clean and bright, and the general chicken is to die for. My wife always gets vegetarian meals, and she loves all of them. I really can't think of anything on the downside to post, so I won't! Wonderful meals! read more

Been there many times. The cashew/Sweet Sour special CHEAP and GOOD. For a bit over 5 bucks: Cashew or S/Sour w/ rice, two crab rangoon, egg roll. Hell yea. As far as drive through cashew chicken places go, the one on North Glenstone is one of the best in town. I've tried lots of others and they can be either hit or miss--or just miss. Some of these places let their grease go bad and burnt and the chicken sometimes grizzly which makes for a sucky cashew chicken experience. Hong Kong Inn serves really good chicken (I get the all white) and the sauce is really good. I am pretty choosy when it comes to Springfield style cashew chicken and this is a good place. read more

LOVE this place - make sure you go to the one on Sunshine, not Battlefield. Cashew Chicken is hot and delish - and their veggie fried rice is really good too. You can eat for $4 - wow! read more

Called in my order tonight at 5:30 before leaving work and was pleased with the prices but surprised to find they do not take credit cards over the phone (inconvenient but I can move past that) I told them I'd be there in 30mins and I was told they'd have it ready for me to pick up. When I got there I paid and was told that my food would be ready in 15mins. I didn't receive my food until 6:30 (all the while their drive thru is working smoothly) When I complained to the manager she feigned poor English and kept telling me that they were busy. Finally I told them I wanted my money back and I would go else where. They told me the food was already made they couldn't refund. Completely not happy with this place :( read more

The employee Sydney was absolutely amazing. The service was impeccable. This girl deserves a raise.

Ate there last night. Ordered two cashew chicken dinners white meat with Sides of Crab Rangoon. Chicken was dry and tasted warmed over and old. Not tender and gravy was way too salty. The Egg roll was soggy and didn't have a lot of flavor. Disappointed for sure. We've eaten there many times and never had this problem before. I want my food freshly cooked not sitting under lights. read more

Crab Rangoon and the egg roll was soggy. Not fresh. The kung pao shrimp just tasted industrial. Drive through service dismissive and uncaring. Too bad. This used to be a decent place. read more
