Hung Fong Chinese Restaurant — Restaurant in San Antonio

Have been coming here for years. In the past this place used to have amazing and flavorful food. All of that has changed. I have always loved the decor of this restaurant but when you look up you can see a lot of water damaged and parts of the ceiling look like it's going to fall one day soon.

Family and I dined in and ordered: -3 deluxe plates: Lemon chicken and chicken chow mein Lemon chicken and Mongolian beef Lemon chicken and beef with broccoli Soups: 2 wonton and 1 egg drop 2 egg roll and 2 cheese rangoon shrimp chop suey order of Rangoon 1 egg roll -8 oz to go sweet and sour

Deluxe L.C. with chicken chow mein. Lemon chicken is always great here. The chicken is white and juicy. The sauce comes in a small cup and taste like delicious sweet lemon. Chicken chow mein comes with the crunchy fried noodles on top of chicken and veggies in a white sauce. It really had no flavor. Fried rice needed to be dressed with soy sauce and sweet and sour.

Deluxe L.C. with Mongolian beef. The Mongolian beef had no spice at all. The flavor was a bit bland but the sauce tasted nice with the crispy veggies.

Deluxe L.C. with broccoli and beef. There was barely any meat(which is fine) or water chest nuts but plenty of onions, carrots, and broccoli. The meat is sliced very thin and extremely tough and chewy. The veggies are crispy and crunchy. None of the items had seasonings.

Shrimp Chop Suey is usually a hit. This time around all you could taste was salt. It usually comes with fried noodles but not this time. I am guessing it is an extra charge. We did as for some but never got any.

Wonton soup bland. Just tasted like hot water and noodles. Egg drop soup no flavor even when pepper was added. Not even an egg taste. The consistency is nice and thick. Egg roll no longer has ginger in it. If it wasn't for the hot greasy fried wrap it wouldn't have flavor instead it tasted like greasy fried chicken crust, which is guilty pleasure of mine. Cheese rangoon has a strong onion flavor and I'm thinking they add like a crab flavoring because there was a small hint of that. The wonton wrapper was not crispy but soggy.

Overall the quality and quantity has gone done and not worth the...

3 stars is the correct rating for Hung Fong. This is one of the oldest Chinese restaurants in San Antonio. At one time it was a diamond and everyone went there and tourist would be sent there from Downtown hotels. That is not the case today. It has been sometime since I have been there. I decided to spend the night in San Antonio as a staycation weekend. Decided to go there for dinner. Not a memorable evening. We were joined by three friends, all locals. All agreed, this place had fond memories for us, but it isn't the Hung Fong from years past. Don't know if the restaurant original owners sold or what.

Our Server was very friendly and tried very hard to do a good job. The dining room was very outdated, worn, and dingy. Didn't look very clean. Same with the restroom. The famous neon flags on the ceiling were not fully illuminated anymore.

Food lacked taste. Mongolian Beef was not spicy hot as it should be. The Hot and Sour soup was not spicy hot and lacked flavor. I had the Hung Fong shrimp. The shrimp did not taste fresh and seemed more like frozen breaded shrimp was used. The Hung Fong sauce for the shrimp was so spicy, you couldn't really taste anything else. The sauce came in a little plastic condiment cup with lid and was not even warm.

We came on a Thursday and there were probably only 6 tables during dinner. I think the locals have figured out it isn't that good anymore and hotels do not send tourist. With such a small dinner crowd, it makes sense they would likely use frozen breaded shrimp.

I will not return to Hung Fong. It is past its prime and it is depressing to see such a well known local establishment fade away from quality and taste. One good point was they did serve a lot of food. Unfortunately, I tossed my left overs, as after I returned to my room (I had a suite with a kitchenet) I decided, I didn't care for it when I ate it, why would I heat...

Displeased with the waitress🙅🏽‍♀️ whom was rude and told us no.HOWEVER the 🤤food was very delicious but BEWARE THE RESTROOM you might CATCH SOMETHING☠ The service: So I stumbled upon this place due to their positive reviews plus it was close, but my experience was MUCH DIFFERNT based off my waitress. The restaurant was full of Christmas lights and holiday decor, it was nice, but the smell not so much😬It smelled of bleach amd heavy cleaning products.Moving on 💁🏽‍♀️ My waitress was rude, She kept acting like she couldn't hear us and walking away. As we ordered, she actually told my man he COULD NOT add beef and broccoli to his order. I SAID EXCUSE ME BUT YOU CAANOT TELL ME WHAT I CAN AND CANT HAVE, I WANT TO ADD AN ORDER ON THE SIDE THANK YOU she shook her head yes flung her arms like "okay okay" and walked away. When she brought us the shrimp fried rice, I seen It had pork bits in it (we don't eat pork) I let her know kindly to take it back and she refused at first untill I gave her my mom look and explained to her AGAIN FIRMLY, then she removed it from our table.. I said we can trade it for white rice instead. (Which we never received) Nowthe food: We ordered the crab ragoons which were MOUTHWATERING DELICIOUS 😋 The wanton soup was def tasty too! The shrimp egg foo young was bomb!! (It did not look at all appealing the way they served it on the dish though.) It could have looked better lol but it was bomb after trying it. The orange chicken was tender and crunchy 😋 OVERALL I WAS HAPPY WITH THE FOOD BUT THE SERVICE AND RESTROOMS BOTH NEED MAJOR ADJUSTMENTS MADE OH AND WE DID GET A FREE CALANDER WHICH WAS CUTE! I won't be returning for dine in...
