Hong Kong Restaurant — Restaurant in Indianapolis

This is based on my most recent experience alone. I've ordered from Hong Kong 3 times. The first two, the food was good. This time today, not so much. I ordered Pepper Steak for the first time here. I've had it at other places and it was always flavorful and delicious so I decided to try their lunch PS. I was clear in the special instructions that I wanted no vegetable, and very little onions. Some restaurants add pepper and onions. This particular day, I was starving and wanted mostly Steak and rice, which I also typed in the instructions. Well....my request was completely ignored as you can see from the pictures. They didn't add onions but the peppers to Steak ratio is unbelievable. It was packed with peppers. I had to take them out just to make room to get to the Steak. As you can see just how little Steak was given. It doesn't even match the amount of rice given. 😒 And it was so bland. No flavor accept ginger was tasted. The sauce was pure ginger and water. The peppers had zero taste. It was as if they just boiled them and chopped them up. I've never had pepper Steak like that before and if I had had the time to go back, I would have taken it back and asked for a remake, something different or a refund. Like I mentioned before, the 2 dishes I had previously were good, Chicken soup with rice and Chicken lo mein. But this pepper Steak is a hard no. For an $8.25 lunch portion I should have more than just boiled bland peppers, rice and few pieces of bland Steak. Perhaps today was just an off day but I wasted money too. I'd still go there if in the area, I'll just have to be more mindful of...

Roast Pork Egg Roll ( 1 count) x3 $7.17 For the amount they charge for each individual Egg Roll. They should put more roast pork meat in it. It’s filled with normal egg roll veggies stuffing. Plus tiny diced roast pork in it. The ratio is probably 5% roast pork and 95% veggies stuffing. Might as well be a veggie egg roll with that ratio. You can barely taste the roast pork in it. The veggies aren’t seasoned also.

Fried wonton (10 count) $6.25 Don’t waste your money ordering this on their menu. I ordered it thinking it’ll be cream cheese stuffed wonton like all other Chinese restaurants I’ve been to. But nope, it’s literally just fried wonton wraps. It was pretty disappointing when I received the food. It’s just oily friend wonton wraps.

Beef Fried Rice Quart $10.85 The fried rice itself has no flavor. It just tastes like oil. The beef is gray and tasteless. It’ll be nice if they seasoned the beef and cover it in cornstarch. And cook it before adding the rice so it’ll have a nice texture and flavor.

Teriyaki Chicken on a stick ( 4 count) $8.99 This was one of the best teriyaki chicken I’ve had in a long time! It was moist, hot, fresh and full of flavor. With everything on my order, this is the best one. I’ll definitely order this again if I ever do decide to return.

Overall the food needs a lot more attention and flavor. Food like the fried wonton needs descriptions and details. So customer knows what they’re ordering. I gave 5 stars on service because they were fast and all the food came out fresh, hot and still steaming. Even after a 10 minute drive it was still hot...

A lot of people seem to be saying this place is great, but honestly it really isn't anymore. I used to eat here regularly when I was growing up, and it was easily the best chinese place around. Even after I moved out, I would still get food from here every other month or so. Then, one day, it was completely different. The General Tso's chicken went from having a great flavor and decent crunch to being slightly more bland tasting and soggy. The Wonton soup started tasting more salty for some reason, and the dumplings, which I used to come for on their own some days, were replaced with complete garbage. I used to love this restaurant, and would have recommended it to anyone anytime. I even had their phone number favorited in my contacts, which I had normally reserved for only my girlfriend and work. I tried going back multiple times after the food had changed, but now it just tastes like any other generic Chinese restaurant you can go to. I wish I could eat at the place I used to love and frequent, and I wish I could recommend it, but at this point I have little faith they'll ever return to being the same amazing restaurant they had been for at least 10+ years....
