Hong Kong Kitchen — Restaurant in Buffalo

I tried this place while looking for a new spot bc the long time staple down the st closed. This place is nuts. I explained what Id like to order - 2 pints and a lo mein. Pints are $8 and change each. She told me i cant just pay a couple bucks more for lo mein instead of rice unless I ordered a combo and its cheaper. I said fine, 2 pints 1 lo mein or if the combo is cheaper thats fine. Upon arrival she tried charging $7 x 2 for the 'combo'. I guess just pay attention, $14 for lo mein is nuts. Then they charge 5% more per item ordered when paying with card. I have no issues paying extra for lo mein (plain) instead of rice but good grief. The weird part is the $7 lo mein MIGHT have been half a normal order. Also fwiw, not that you expect Chinese places to be clean - but this place was GROSS. Might be fine at the end of a drunken night on Elmwood when people aren't paying attention, but this was insane. Her response when questioned was 'no one likes you'... well, ya keep trying to pull stuff like that and soon no one will like you...

After indulging in Chinese cuisine across Shanghai, Taiwan, Singapore, and Kuala Lumpur, I consider myself to have a rather discerning palate when it comes to authentic flavors. It's with this background that I wholeheartedly recommend this gem in Elmwood Village for truly exceptional Chinese food. The Kung Pao Chicken here is a standout dish, generously laden with fresh vegetables and served alongside perfectly cooked white rice, capturing the essence of what makes Chinese cuisine so delightful.

This establishment primarily caters to take-out, but if you're like me and prefer to savor your meal straight from the kitchen, they offer two tables for dining (but realize there's not atmosphere...

Usually order for takeout in person but decided to doordash for the first time & can i say wow. Mind blown completely on how inconsiderate they were with my order they know me as a regular & i considerately leave tips & they looked me in my soul repeated my order just for me to get none of what i ordered correctly & the meat was inedible the rice was soupy worst white rice ive ever had in my life i had to head down to wakiki for better. Im like ok no big deal ill just call in a few for a refund they tried to charge me 180 dollars for doordash back to back 4 hrs after i picked up my order & i havent ordered on doordash for a year.
