Hong Kong Wok

Thought it was pretty decent Chinese take-​out. Got general tso’s and bourbon chicken, nothing really here to complain about. The lo mein was nice. The inside of this place was interesting too. I mean this the most recent review since 2010 so if you’re reading this just assume Hong Kong wok is still alive and thriving in Hamilton

A little Pricier than most, but this was some of the most grease-​less, full flavored Chinese food I’ve ever had.
The only reason I don’t give it 5 stars is because it was a tad more than I think Chinese food should be. (However, I have been called cheap by several people).

Hong Kong Wok is far and away my favorite store-​front Chinese restaurant in the Hamilton area. All the normal stuff is there, the standard neon sign in the window, the 11×14 red and green on white menu and the back lit pictures of standard dishes above the counter. But the food raises the bar for this kind of place.
All of the dishes I’ve tried have some element that sets them apart from the average Chinese take-​away. The Hunan Beef has some black bean sauce in it that bumps the flavor up a notch. The (very non-​traditonal) spicy Pad Thai has a few strands of a fresh herb in it that I’ve yet to identify but still love. And the Singapore Noodles have a curry taste that just pops a little bit more than any others.
The couple that run the place (without the help of any additional employees as far as I can tell) are always pleasant. The know my regular orders when I call and make as much nice small talk as the language barrier allows.
All in all a top spot in the category.
