Hong Kong Chinese Restaurant — Restaurant in Cedar Falls

Went there 2 nights ago to get dinner, my friend ordered the shrimp fried rice, he asked if he could get extra shrimp and the waitress laughed and shook her head and rudely said “I don’t know” that was odd but not the main problem, I got the mushu chicken, which comes with a plate of a mixture of the chicken and vegetables, and also a plate of mandarin pancakes. The food came out and it was missing the pancakes so I wait a minute thinking they’ll come out, they didn’t, at that point my friend was done eating, so I ask one of the girls and she says she’ll say something to the waitress, she never did, so I wait another 20 minutes, they bring check without asking or saying anything and I ask if the rest of my order is coming out, she shakes her head and walks to the front, so I bring my check up and the girl had already forgotten who I was asking if I had takeout, she asked if I enjoyed the meal and I said well I never got half of it. She said “hope it will be better next time!” What. Literally what. They were short staffed, but to not even give me a little off the check? Or even pay attention...

GET THE EMPRESS CHICKEN.

The prices are super low for the quality of food. The sauce on their empress chicken is perfect. Mildly sweet, tangy, and spicy. It's good enough that I dumped my white rice, which usually goes uneaten, onto the platter just to eat the rest of the sauce. The chicken was CRISPY. Usually there's some unpleasant crunch with battered chicken, but this was wonderful throughout. I had one that was mostly batter on a side and it was still super crispy, no crunch. There is no room for improvement. 10/10, absolutely coming back because of this.

Their fried rice isn't as good as their Empress Chicken, but it's still nice. The chicken was especially well-cooked. 7/10, will get again, if I don't just order another helping of empress chicken.

We're coming back. You should try it if...

Crab Rangoon was good, everything was good but I had gotten the beef w/ broccoli. The beef tasted spoiled, didn't think much of it, I seen some that were still slightly pink and then I found a maggot or grub worm in the food.

I searched the plate numerous times looking for another or any bit of seasoning that could look like this little guy but nothing was found.

I have a picture of it whole, Definitely a bug, Definitely can see legs, tail and head. Wasn't living, but i squished it to makesure and it also squished like a bug.

We mentioned it to the waitress, she told the manager. On the bright side at least I got that plate for free.

Me and a buddy of mine left and we are now feeling sick, he also had beef in his food as well. Not sure if it's just the acknowledgement of the bug or the...
