Hop Poh Chinese Restaurant — Restaurant in Hamburg

Stopped by when I decided to visit Hamburg. Was very curious because I saw a lot of people walk in and out. Seemed quite busy so the lady sounded curt but respectful. They had my food out pretty quickly for how busy it was. Boy was it a treat. Guess that's why they're basically the only Chinese joint in town, probably put the rest out of business.

Highly recommend the general tso chicken. It is not too sickly sweet and sticky. Excellent balance of slightly sweet, salty, spicy and sour (get sesame chicken if you don't like spicy or orange if you want sweet). Even more recommended if you can sit down and eat it fresh like I did. It was still crispy which I have never had elsewhere!

Also recommend trying the cheese steak roll. It's very gooey and cheesy and has sweet onions which I love in cheese steaks.

The beef and broccoli was truly the best I've ever had. The beef was so tender I almost couldn't believe it.

Also they absolutely stuff the boxes for take out. It almost spilled over when I opened them in my car. My total was less than 30 bucks and was able to feed 2 adults for...

Area's best Chinese take-out.... Yes. Only because there's no other options. I went in the other day to pick up an order... you can tell that little to no effort is being taken in making the dine-in experience enjoyable. The heat was off in the middle of winter (all employees were wearing winter jackets and gloves... except the cook). The decor, furniture, and unkempt fish tank seemed long ignored. The woman at the register was terse and unpleasant. She tossed my credit card back on the counter in front of me, avoided any eye, and made no effort towards nicety. Like taking my money was an inconvenience to her.

This place has been around for a long time now... I remember when it first opened... the whole town was excited and business was good. It saddened me to see how run down and tired the place was on this occasion. I will say however, all the food was enjoyed by my eaters... especially those crab...

I've had hop poh a handful of times over the years and I've never really been a fan, I only get it from here if I'm craving it and it's too late to go towards reading whatever other reasons .. I always go closer to Reading for my Chinese food..

This place has declined since the first time I've tried it.. food is almost bland and not cooked with care it seems like, even when you specify what your looking for they don't listen and now they've cut back on the Portion size compared to others where they stuff it so much you can see the food almost squishing thru the clear lid

Hopefully they make changes soon..

I'm posting two pictures, first one will be hop poh's food the second and third will be from my go to spot near Reading for your own judgment.. take note of the amount of contents in the rice. on this one I asked for egg and I got maybe a quarter size of it in the entire...
