Literally all of our family members including my in-laws love this place. We come here for authentic Cantonese food. The owners/servers here are very kind. We typically order the basil seafood pot, beef chow fun, duck, and fire-roasted chicken (takes abt 30 min to cook - they start making it when you are there, but one time I called ahead to let them know I'm on the way and the started it early). Family-style is the best way to go about eating here! read more

This little restaurant packs a big punch in flavor. Everyone's food in our party was very good.. No complaints.. (Even the guy that got sauteed squid ) I ended up with the General Tso's chicken and it was super crunchy on the outside and perfectly tender on the inside. It had enough spice and wasn't overly saucy. It really tasted like it was made with care. The restaurant was A bit plain looking but clean and the staff was attentive and got our food out pretty quick. read more

Hong Kong Star Restaurant - General Tso's chicken - Chinese Near Me - Olathe, Kansas

$17 for a soup with tofu, 3 shrimp, mushrooms, tofu and egg drop. Really disappointed. Didn't tell me the price when I called it in, didn't tell me how long. Didn't send me out the door with a spoon. Called to ask if I got the right thing bc I was so disappointed and flabbergasted. They said ok thanks for telling us. Wow. read more

Hong Kong Star Restaurant - "Seafood" tofu soup - Chinese Near Me - Olathe, Kansas

I've been in Olathe for 4 years and have never found a chinese restaurant I like until now. We got take out and my daughter was pressuring me to make a decision so I saw a picture of szechuan chicken on Yelp and ordered it. Alas it was too spicy for me but it was delicious so if you like spicy this might work for you. Luckily she ordered beef chow fun and crab rangoon and they were both amazing!!! That will def be my new standing order! read more

Good food, good people. We've both dined and ordered take out here and both experiences were good.

Did carry out it was awesome! My favorite Chinese restaurant by far!! My husbands order of Mongolian Beef, and I have Hunan Chicken, stir fried to perfection! read more

This hot pot was so full of flavor! It was all fresh, hot, and delicious. The service was attentive and kind. I appreciate this restaurant for sharing some of their culture with us! Cannot wait to bring back a group and enjoy the family style dining. read more

Hong Kong Star Restaurant - Beef chow fun and Chicken chunk with golden mushrooms hot pot - Chinese Near Me - Olathe, Kansas

Need to update this review, the first review written was when they first opened. This is our usual Chinese take out, the food is as authentic as ABC cafe. Our favorites remain the salt and pepper pork chop, ong choy, and noodle dishes. I love that they have an online ordering option. Food always comes out on time, and hot. read more

Always a quality food experience- Crab Rangoon are the best if any in JOCO - entrees are always on point and very flavorful Very authentic if you want to go there or you can go with some of the more Americanized options - all are always of great quality Dine in service is always attentive to the point where you may even feel rushed if you are not accustomed to it read more

We tried the crab Rangoon and schezuan chicken. Both were absolutely delicious! We will most definitely be back to try more items. read more

Hong Kong Star Restaurant - Delicious food! Even a simple dish like the crab Rangoon was exemplary! - Chinese Near Me - Olathe, Kansas

After a long day of errands my wife and I were starving. So of course I fire up the Yelp app and we were pleased to learn that Hong Kong Star was in close proximity. We decided to do takeout since we knew a good nap always follows great chinese food. We ordered ahead and I only had to wait about 5 minutes before our food was ready. The inside was awesome and very clean. The staff was superb and made general small talk with me while I waited. The menu is both american, and traditional chinese cuisine. I'm not too adventurous so I ordered the General Tso's chicken with house fried rice. My wife ordered the salt fish with rice. Both meals were superb and far exceeded our expectations. We will for sure be back, and plan on dining in when we do. read more

This has become a favorite for us! Simple, very clean setting, delicious food, extensive menu different than what might be used to. The staff is very nice and helpful. M loves the orange chicken that is so lightly batter fried you can barely tell there is a coating. I've gotten several different dishes but most often the broccoli chicken. The chicken is delicately cooked and very tender. Tonight, though, I'm going to try something different. I'm getting the salt and pepper shrimp, calamari and scallops. M had a beef chicken and shrimp with onions that was great. We started with crab Rangoon which were much lighter than what we usually get. I loved them. This is a great little place! read more

I always love Hong Kong Star. Tonight we had the chow kway teow that I've had numerous times and the salt and pepper squid, shrimp, scallop. Both were great. I ordered the salt and pepper squid dish without onion. read more

My mind is officially BLOWN. This place is byfar one of the most legit chinese restaurants I've been to in the greater KC area yet. Authentic flavor + to die for taste! Not to mention, their portion sizes are generous! Lots of seating options too if you're looking for a good chinese restaurant to do family-style. What we ordered: * Beef Noodle Soup - hit just right! Flavorful broth, tender beef, and perfectly al dente egg noodles. * Yang Chow Fried Rice - YUMMM!!! * Crispy Fried Chicken - WARNING, it is a 30min wait and a bit more on the pricey side ($25 as of 2024), but well worth the wait! My 2 year old had told me she was FULL, but took one bite and kept asking for MORE! read more

This is absolutely the best Chinese restaurant in the KC metro, maybe the best in the Midwest. The flavors are much better than most, the meat and seafood perfectly cooked, the sauces more vibrant, and the vegetables amazingly fresh. Portions are generous and prices competitive. We eat here whenever we find ourselves in Olathe and wish they would open a place closer to our home. SIX STARS! read more

When expectation based on other reviews here creates a very high bar it may be difficult to live up to the hype. But just objectively evaluating the cuisine alone compared to the best Chinese (not necessarily Cantonese) meals I have experienced, this was nice but not excellent. The roast duck was nicely done and was clearly freshly prepared unlike many places in the Midwest. Perhaps my preference for Peking duck contributed to my overall lack of enthusiasm for their offering. The spice and herb essence just not my fav. My second dish which was the Shrimp Chow Fun was completely unmemorable. While it contained a good number of shrimp, the sauce was completely dull and the noodles did little to save the dish. I'm left wondering if my menu choices were just a miss on my part or if growing up in California has made my standard too high? Regardless, I probably won't make the effort to go out of my way for a return visit. A final couple notes: Service and hospitality were gracious and very attentive. Ambience despite being clean is about a 2 out of 10. read more

It's a small restaurant but the Chinese food is pretty decent. Most of the dishes are more from the southern part of China. The tofu pot was pretty good the service could be better. Probably will go back to try their crispy fried chicken see if it's good, it needs 30 mins to prepare for it. read more

Hong Kong Star Restaurant - Tofu Pot - Chinese Near Me - Olathe, Kansas

I was in the mood for some Chicken Fried Rice, so I decided to enter this location. When I entered, the associate informed me it was open seating, so I sat down at a table. I was waiting at the table for more than five minutes before I was served menus and water and the establishment wasn't busy, so I was slightly displeased with the service. There are a lot of items to choose from on the menu, but I ordered the Pan Seared Dumplings and Chicken Fried Rice. The dumplings were good, had great flavor, and paired well with the sauce that was provided. The Chicken Fried Rice had good flavors, it was served very hot, and it was filling. The portion size is large and I almost didn't finish it all. Overall, I'm satisfied with my experience here. The associates were kind, professional, and people-oriented. I enjoyed the food that I ordered, and I recommend anyone wanting some good food to come to this location. I will be returning to try different food options. read more

Hands-down the best and most fresh Chinese food you'll get in Kansas. We ordered the beef chow fun, the beef was so tender and the noodles were so juicy and savory. The shrimp fried rice came with a good portion of huge shrimps. The wonton soup was small order it but the taste of the dumplings were so fresh and the broth was so refreshing. It came with a side of crunchy wontons. We ordered the crab lagoon as well and the mix was top-tier! So glad we found this place, our new go to place! read more

Right off the highway, Hong Kong Star is a hidden gem with authentic flavors. We enjoyed the calamari, basil seafood, and Singapore noodles! Each dish was packed with flavor and our meal came with refillable steamed white rice and very spicy hot chili oil. read more

Some of the best Chinese food you'll find in the greater KC area! Especially since ABC has gone way downhill recently, Hong Kong Star is a real gem. Their Chow Fun noodles come out smoking hot with perfectly chewy noodles and savory beef, and their other authentic Chinese classics are similarly great. Some of my favorites are the Mongolian Beef (*love*), Salt and Pepper Squid, and Seafood Pan Fried Noodles. They've also got a fantastic lunch special where you can get an entree, side soup, and an eggroll for $9 (dine-in only). The only problem with Hong Kong Star is its inconsistency. There are days where some dishes are much saltier than normal or the duck comes out dry, so I tend to avoid those dishes and stick to what's dependable. I would really mix the Salt and Pepper Squid/Tofu before you eat to make sure the salt is evenly distributed. In my opinion, this definitely isn't a reason not to come and deny yourself the great options this place has. read more

Folks in and around Kansas City area - Get here. Great Service, Exceptional Food! Quickly seated, and good hot tea even on a hot day. My wife got orange chicken with fried rice - very tasty. I had hunan chicken. Super fresh vegetables with a clean sauce with a nice spice - again exceptional. We also had steamed dumplings - another winner. Check this place out, you will NOT be disappointed. read more

First of all, the food is AMAZING!! order from the "real" Chinese menu, our dishes were recommended and they were delicious! There is an american Chinese menu that I'm sure is good too. The best crab Rangoon I've had, the wonton was so light and the filling was so good! The staff was so sweet too! read more

I was in Kansas City for the weekend and I like to visit highly-rated local restaurants when I travel. This was the place today. When I first saw the building I wasn't sure the restaurant was still open. The storefront area is rather small in a strip-mall-style building. I was there for supper just after the end of daylight savings time. Some of the other businesses had much brighter lights. I pulled into the parking lot and saw it immediately. It's the second business from the street. I decided to try some standard items to see how they are in case I want to come back and be more adventurous later this weekend. I ordered egg drop soup, vegetarian spring rolls (2), and sesame chicken with fried rice. The soup, rice, and spring rolls were brought out almost immediately. The spring rolls were very hot so I started with the soup. It was warm and not too salty. The broth was more thick than straight water. It was very satisfactory. Next I tried the spring rolls. The wrapping on the rolls was very light and crisp. These were still quite warm when I ate them and the interior was a bit on the mushy side. I'm not sure I would try them again. The sesame chicken came out as I was finishing the soup. It was quite hot so I decided to let it cool while I ate the spring rolls. The service was quite good. While ordering, the waitress was happy to answer my questions about the menu and, after the food arrived, was very quick to take away dirty dishes. She also refilled my water glass as soon as it reached half full. I would also note that entire restaurant was very clean and the operator clearly pays attention to cleanliness. The sesame chicken breading was crisp without being crunchy, and the chicken was not chewy or tough. I found the dish quite filling and satisfactory. Overall, I'm considering a trip back this weekend to try something else. I was impressed by the cleanliness, the quality of the chicken, and the service. The soup and sesame chicken were prepared to perfection. I don't know what happened with the spring rolls. If you value quality ingredients in food that isn't over-or under-cooked, and isn't over salted like so many egg drop soups are, you might want to give this place a try. read more

This Chinese new year we had a little get-together at Hong Kong Star Chinese Restaurant for our New Year dinner. The restaurant specializes in Cantonese-style Chinese cuisine, my favorite type of Chinese food. The dinner was an amazing experience, thanks to the fantastic company. The restaurant is especially renowned for its clay pot dishes, which we ordered - a beef brisket and tendon clay pot and a tofu pot. Both were simply delicious! We also had the tender, juicy roast duck, accompanied with the restaurant's special house dip. The Cantonese style crispy fried chicken was pre-ordered, requiring 30 minutes preparation, but it was certainly worth the wait: the meat was succulent, flavorful and perfectly caramelized with a crispy skin. Moreover, the black pepper beef really stood out - coated with a well balanced black pepper sauce and stir fried to perfection, the meat was unbelievably tender and flavorful. A steamed whole flounder is a must-have for a New Year's Day dinner as it symbolizes well-being and prosperity. It's delicately prepared with classic Cantonese-style soy sauce and ginger. We also enjoyed a rich and delicious spread of braised duck with mixed vegetables, crab and fish maw soup, steamed and pan-fried dumplings, walnut shrimp, Peking ribs, ginger and scallion-steamed chicken, stir-fried bok choy, fried rice, and stir-fried rice noodles. We had an amazing evening together and look forward to a great year ahead! read more

Terrible customer service, they were extremely rude. We showed up for dinner and we waited to talk to the host only for then to just look at us and ask what we wanted. We asked to be seated for two adults and a child and they said no they had no tables when there were empty tables all over the restaurant and then corrected themself saying it was a private party. I am not sure what was going on but it was an extremely odd rude interaction. Will not be back. read more

Well to begin with, this was the best choice and the only choice we had on Christmas day. Everybody else was closed and they were super nice and helpful to take our order on the phone and we went to pick up. We didn't had a great time sitting in the Restaurant because we were just there to pick up but I can tell you that they have great food. We tried their fried noodles, dumplings soup and everything looked great. It was huge quantities so we definitely had it for another meal too. We ordered a seafood skillet. It came perfect, it looks like a local Asian or a Chinese restaurant as an ambience. It was good to sit there and have a meal but it's too far from our house so definitely we would visit again if you're near the neighborhood. read more

This was our first time going here and we really enjoyed the food and friendly service. My husband got the Seafood Chefs Special and I got the sweet and sour chicken. Both were delicious and we had plenty to eat. The service was prompt and friendly. We definitely found our goto place for Chinese food. read more

Hong King currently is requiring masks to enter into the restaurant, as well as all staff are masked up. Which pleased me. They were friendly and greeted us promptly. We ordered two appetizers and two entrees. The crab Rangoon's were crisp and fresh. They serve automatically with sweet & sour sauce, you need to ask for mustard if you want it. We also had the calamari. It was served in a bed of lettuce and jalapeños that added extra flavor. I ordered beef fried rice, nothing mind blowing but still tasty. I'd have like to see more vegetables in it, but it was still good. The other dish we ordered was Mongolian beef. It promised to be spicy, while delicious had no spice to it. read more

My husband and I live for fantastic food but love to eat in the comfort of our home during this outrageous pandemic and local restaurants like Hong Kong Star fulfill our desperate need for a wonderfully cooked meal packed carefully in good to go boxes. I'm not a fan of food deliveries so ordered via their website today and picked the order up. Great website to order food, easy scroll and checkout. Now let's come to food. Delicious is the word. Not too salty just balanced flavors and not sweet at all which I extremely liked. Robust flavors shouting from every dish is what I loved and I'm thrilled to have a new favorite chinese spot just minutes away. Our pan fried chicken noodles were packed separately and the soup/sauce that came with it was perfectly filled in a large container. This was very impressive since the noodles are supposed to stay crisp and we did not miss dining in the restaurant specifically for that experience at all! We got two of those and still have a lot of leftovers. Love the portions. Not complaining. Chicken lo mein was spot on! I mentioned 'hot and spicy' in the special instructions tab while ordering online so they gave a super spicy chilli sauce with the order which is most appreciated because we love spicy! I also ordered a schezuan chicken which was a perfect blend of veggies and chicken and came with rice. We loved our meal, love supporting our beloved local restaurants, love Yelp and will go back for more! read more

Random Monday night, decided to come here based on reviews... The reviews were spot on, it was delicious!! Small, tucked away spot but still decent space. We had the crab Rangoon, fried rice and Mongolian beef. All were great!!! We did venture out and try an entree with "egg sauce" but we didn't exactly have the palate for that. But again, all in all very great spot for Chinese food. The crab Rangoon was some of the best I've ever had, definitely authentic and made in house. Also, food came out service fast. read more

Came here because this gem made it in Yelp Kansas City's top 50 2019 list. I also love Chinese food, and have been trying to find a good, more authentic place in KC. Would like to point out that this is probably one of neatest/ cleanest restaurants I've been to. Now for the food: definitely impressed by the variety of menu items. The menu is also customizable (can switch ingredients in dishes on the menu). I got the eggplant hotpot with chicken instead of pork. DELICIOUS. The sauce wasn't too salty, and I could taste the subtle ginger & garlic flavors throughout the dish. It was sooo much food too for a reasonable price. There was a large party seated at the table in front of me. All of the dishes they ordered looked AMAZING as well, and I was getting major dish envy. Will be back to try the roasted duck and soft shell crab dishes that I saw the other table get! read more

Hong Kong Star Restaurant - Eggplant and chicken hotpot with fried rice - Chinese Near Me - Olathe, Kansas

This is my new favorite Chinese restaurant and get in my top three list of the Chinese restaurants in big KC area. After 3 years of searching, finally found another one that fits my standard of Hong Kong style eatery in big KC area. I got the Yong Chou fried rice, black pepper chicken feet and seafood tofu hotpot to go. Because I actually didn't plan to go there for lunch, I happen to find it when I was around for my car adjustment. And that trip was like 30 min drive from my place. The restaurant is spacious and it does not have the greasy smell ( if you've been to any Chinatown in any big major city, you know the smell) but the location was like in the middle of no where... The portion is really generous. I really need to them score for the fried rice. Although the fried rice is like the basic stuff in Chinese culture, but it's not easy to cook it right or good. Their fried rice was not overly greasy, overcooked and the not overly seasoned. And yes, it does not have oyster sauce or whatever sauce that should not been in there for Yong Chou fried rice. On the side note, they add pork, chicken and shrimp in it, in generous amount of protein. The chicken feet was great, and it was processed to be easy to eat. The seafood tofu, again, no soy sauce or overly velveting. It was light and fresh and also generous amount of fresh seafood!!! I will definitely go back to try more stuff on their menu, even thought it means I need to take an hour trip (back and forth) for the dining experience. read more

I use to love this spot but the past year or so it has gone down hill in quality and service. The food today was soggy and almost gross.
