Hong Kong City — Restaurant in Sandy Springs

Well, I give up. I guess I’m just an idiot that I keep going back after a period of time thinking the Hong Kong City Experience will be positive, but again I was disappointed.

I continued to try it even though I know that I will get Zero greeting, Zero thank you for your business and based on prior experiences a good chance it’s just not going to be any good. I can microwave my leftovers too. What can I say? it’s conveniently located.

It’s not cheap. So for my last meal ever at Hong Kong City, the meal did not smell good, the broccoli and snow peas were barely green and lacked the slightest crunch.

I had one small hesitant serving and the rest I 80 sixed. Waste of my hard earned money.

If you want to bring home dinner, open up the container and want to be able to say “wow this smells and looks tasty and gosh, that lady was so darn friendly” — You need to go elsewhere. If you are from out of town, there are so many good options, this is not one of them. Even if the food stinks, it’s always a consolation prize for the owners to at least appear to be appreciative of your business. Jeez.

Oh, and that comment somebody else made about the Child laborer who messed up their bill, ha! the Same thing happened to me back in 2020 during the Covid set up with their business.

It’s 2024 so clearly I am a glutton...

This restaurant has under age children taking orders and payments. The child couldn’t have been no more than 6 or 7 years old. The child over charged my credit card then gets an adult to charge me the correct amount then said I have to wait for the incorrect amount to be credit to my account next week! She should have refund the difference and not charge me again since it was an overcharge and stop using under age children for labor. This is a violation of labor laws practices here. For an apology the lady handed me a Coca Cola. 12/16/23 update:::::: I tried to give the location another chance but they still tend to violate labor laws and a have a child working the counter taking orders. The child was about to place the order incorrectly and had to repeatedly inform him that was incorrect. The younger female child decided to inject herself into the conversation. I have never seen some disrespectful behavior. After completing my transaction. I had requested a receipt and the little boy printed it out and threw it at me. This is unacceptable behavior and the adults are just standing in the doorway...

Folks...manage your expectations and you'll be fine! I've ordered from this place regularly for the last 10 years of living in North Sandy Springs, and it's exactly what I expect...spoiler alert, this isn't gourmet overpriced chinese food such as you'd find at PF Changs...it's a basic, takeout establishment that's clearly in the same category as every other strip mall chinese anywhere in the States (I've lived in GA, FL, AL, CA, NY and NJ so I do have plenty of experience)...regarding the posts/photos of hair in the food, cockroaches etc. sorry but that can happen anywhere in the world...one of the top London restaurants had photos taken after hours showing rats running around...if you think the best places in Atlanta (Rumi's, Bones, Hal's etc) don't have the same problems then you're dreaming...the food here is good....for everyday sweet & sour, rice, soups etc etc it is as fine as...
