Hop Sing — Restaurant in Essex

I've been going to Hop Sing for what must be 10+years, after a coworker was reheating some leftovers that looked and smelled amazing. I was not disappointed and haven't been since. They make most of their food in house and it shows. There are few things on the menu that I prefer elsewhere. Their fried rice isn't too heavy, their chicken is almost always tender, their dumplings and crab rangoon are savory, and on and on. We've tried almost everything on the menu and every time we try another place we end up back here, even though we drive by at least a few other places on our way since moving out of the neighborhood shortly after our first trip there.

My son and I are in the process of visiting every Chinese restaurant in Chittenden County. We always order the same thing.

I order a chicken and broccoli combo with pork fried rice and an egg roll. My son orders a sesame chicken combo with pork fried rice and beef teriyaki sticks.

Price: $18.04 or $.25/oz which is about average for Chittenden County.

Portion: 4.7lbs between the two meals is a .3oz more generous than average.

Lady, no offense but I think I know my phone number, I’m guessing you misheard me in your rush to get off the phone. Paid, went home. Food was decent, lo mein was good, hunan chicken was okay but was spicer than expected and chicken pieces were rather large. Would I go back? Maybe, if our preferred Chinese restaurant was closed and I had a hankering for...
