Hong Kong Express — Restaurant in Waterford Township

Hong Kong Express

I really wanted his place to be good. I’ve lived in Saginaw for about 20 years of my life and we make some good Chinese food. I’ve had the best Chinese food. Bar none. I've been a dishwasher for a good Chinese restaurant, waiter, and a cook. I know my menu and how each dish should taste.

Here we go. Another test. Can this place live up to the name? Let’s go.

Small place. Express only. Few chairs. The woman at the front desk was very nice. Good service. Service with a smile.

I ordered Pepper Steak and Szechuan chicken. The two basic dishes. Pepper steak tasted correct. Spot on. Szechuan was clearly off. Did not taste correct. The sauce was more like sweet and sour. Clearly the wrong sauce. I really had high hopes. Another disappointed.

You might enjoy, but to me, I’m still looking for an authentic Chinese restaurant. Not here.

I see a lot of customers. It’s sad they don’t know what good Chinese food is.

I also want to express that this place gives small portions of meat. "Dragon Palace" in Vassar gives huge portions of meat and everything. That's what sells. Cutting corners does not sell. My Szechuan dinner was basically all veg and hardly an meat. Yes, I can see the difference.

Hit up “China 1” in hazel park, MI for excellent Real Chinese food. Also try "Dragon Palace" in Vassar, MI for great Real Chinese food.

Enjoy. To each his own. **Szechuan aka Schezwan **Szechuan is the more common...

The beef in the Szechuan beef...that can't be real meat. It is soft and creamy like some kind of soy product. The texture was disgusting. There were SO many random vegetables in it, that even if the meat wasn't inedible, there wasn't much in there anyway. It was listed as "spicy" but tasted nothing like any Szechuan I've ever had and had no spice to it. The whole thing was just bad. The fried rice had an odd smell and just wasn't very good, though was the only thing I didn't throw away after 1 bite. Even the fortune cookies were stale...Seriously? Big waste of money. I have to imagine anyone giving this good reviews has never had decent Chinese food. To each their own, i guess. I've lived in Waterford almost 20 years and eaten at several different Chinese places, some better than others, this is the only place that I had to literally throw the food in the trash. Never again, lesson learned, read Google reviews first. This experience will make me leery to try new Chinese places in the future, unfortunately (YES! It...
