Hong Kong Chinese Restaurant — Restaurant in Carrboro

This is a go to for my family when it comes to take out Chinese. The General Tso's chicken (called messy chicken by my crew) is always very tasty and we rarely have any left over. The chicken wings are great as is the egg drop soup. Most every dish is a solid rendition of what would be expected from a hole in the wall place. It is consistently good.

The dining area is very plain and limited in size. One table is frequently occupied by the kitchen staff kids. There is usually plenty of parking right in front.

Just keep in mind I am comparing this to Chinese in the area (although the compared to the sad state of Chinese food in the whole country [including a recent visit to chinatown in SF], this compares favorably outside of Chapel...

Update: I adore Amy and her family! It's so sad that I'm 40 minutes away now. We became regular customers over the years. Whenever I'm in Cboro, I always try and get by to say, "Hello!" and pick up shrimp eggrolls, vegetarian dishes with mung bean sprouts (ask if they can be added if you like them), or most any dish...

On my first visit many years ago: Love the shrimp egg rolls! I gobbled the vegetable angel hair, but it needed a little more seasoning. Warm,...
