This is one of our favorite local mom and pop Chinese restaurants. It’s very Americanized with all the favorite things we all love like fried rice, lo mein, chow mein, orange chicken, kung pao chicken, sweet and sour pork, Mongolian beef, etc. I find myself going to specific Chinese places because I like specific dishes at each place. So why do I come to Hong Kong Kitchen? Three reasons:
General Tso’s Chicken Garlic Beef Sizzling Rice Chicken and Shrimp
The General Tso’s is crunchy and sweet. They double fry it for extra crunch then coat it in a sweet, glaze-like sauce. It used to be medium spicy, but now it’s usually mild. I need to ask them to add some kick next time I order it. The Garlic Beef is the best crispy beef dish (and maybe the only one) at HKK. It’s also a double fried, extra crispy dish with a sweet, glaze-like sauce that has a garlicky twang that is very good. With two sweet dishes I need some good veggies and a savory sauce to balance things out. That is why we go for the Sizzling Rice Chicken and Shrimp. It’s also a very light dish. Fresh veggies (zucchini, cabbage, carrots, snap peas, onion, mushrooms, and bamboo shoots) wok’d in a light, clear, savory gravy with soft cooked chicken and shrimp. It is served on a bed of sizzling rice which is like flash fried rice so it’s crispy and gives you a little crunch in every bite. We usually add beef egg fu young if the whole family is eating along with a pork fried rice and a lo mein noodle dish. All solid options at HKK. If we’re dining in we usually order a large bowl of egg drop soup which is a favorite of the boys. The HKK version is thickened with corn starch and has a stew consistency not a soupy one. This is not blow your mind Chinese, but they have some good dishes here that’ll give you your Chinese fix when you need it.
Some of my favorite items are: Sizzling Rice Chicken and Shrimp ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ General Tso’s Chicken ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Garlic Beef ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Beef Egg Fu Young ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
My guide on how I use the 5 star system: ⭐️ = Not good ⭐️⭐️ = Not terrible, but would not get again ⭐️⭐️⭐️ = Solid, but I’d try something else before this again ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ = Really liked it! You should try this ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ = Loved it! Must try I’ll make adjustments to my ratings after subsequent visits. If you see a .3 or .7 it means: .3 = Wasn’t as good the 2nd or last time I tried it .7 = This was better the 2nd or last...
Read moreGreat food! We have been looking for a Chinese food place since we moved here in 2019. We believe we have finally found our place. To start, when we arrived they were very busy with online orders and it was obvious there had been diners at almost every table prior to our arrival. A very nice man came up to us after finding out we wanted to dine in he informed us they are very busy with online orders and it could be a longer than normal wait. We were not in a hurry and said it was not a problem for us. They cleaned a table and sat us within 3 minutes. Before ten minutes passed we had our menu’s and within 15 we had made our orders. All of this would be considered normal wait times for service. Within a half an hour of arrival we were eating dinner and everything was very tasty and well prepared. We had crab puffs and sliced BBQ pork. The puffs could have more crab and the BBQ pork comes with an excellent sauce already on the pork. The hot mustard was fresh and sinus clearing! Some of the best BBQ pork I’ve ever had. Then came pork fried rice and Hunan chicken which the menu indicated as spicy, but was not. So, I’m not sure if you need to request more spice or if they just under seasoned it. Accompanied with hot tea that had a very nice flavor. The food...

The food was extraordinary - some of the best orange chicken, hot and sour soup, and fried rice you'll ever taste! But it wasn't just the food that made our experience memorable. Our young server (whose name I regrettably can't recall) went above and beyond to ensure our comfort. When my elderly mother mentioned feeling chilly, he promptly adjusted the air conditioning. Within minutes, she was comfortable again.
This level of attentiveness is rare, and it truly set this dining experience apart. The combination of amazing food and exceptional service has left a lasting impression on us. We're grateful to our server, who clearly takes pride in his work and treats customers with genuine care. Needless to say, we will definitely...
