Hong Kong Asian Cuisine

The food is great and even though this place is a far drive we will be back, the Mongolian beef was awesome

It is just ok. Probably will not return. Just wanted soup and the appetizer platter and it all came out at the same time. The wonton soup had no flavor. The appetizer platter was nothing great.

Good food. In fact, the only place in the Desert Hills area with decent Chinese food. I often get take out and there service is very fast. My only complaint would be if you order close to closing time your meal will likely taste as if it was made earlier in the day. Overall a good place.

We walked in and ordered to-​go for a family get together. They were super nice and fairly quick to get a larger order out. The food didn’t knock it out of the park, but it was good and we’d go back.
In the dishes with a meat and veggie mix, there were many more veggies than there was meat. That’s the main reason I give it 3 stars.

I think the previous reviewers are confused. This is not a fine dining restaurant, it is a little Chinese food hole in the wall type of place. I think what people are mis-​contrueing as rude is really a language barrier. Like many authentic Chinese food places, they do not speak English as their primary language so they aren’t going to debate about your request or have a long conversation about politics or the weather. If you want that, may I suggest going to an establishment that is more willing to kiss your ass for their tip and speaks clear English. Personally, I just want good food.
Now, to the cost of the food. I have no idea why it keeps coming up. Chinese food is traditionally more because it is not one serving, it is essentially family style. They are pretty consistent with most places. Entrees are around $ 9-​$ 12 which is reasonable. Its not a soup kitchen people, they aren’t giving the food away.
Lastly, regarding the quality of the food. I have eaten here many times and I would say their biggest issue is temperature. Twice the food was raw or undercooked, once it was overcooked. I have never once, not even one time, had an issue with salt. The flavor is pretty on par with traditional Chinese.
To the people upset about a mosquito in your soup. Really? The kitchen isn’t a sterile operating room, sorry to tell you but flying bugs can and will land in soup. It does not mean that the soup is infested with mosquitoes, thats a ridiculous notion.

This is a family favorite. Every time my parents are in town we order from here. The soft noodles are the best I’ve ever had. Any entrée we have ever order is great. The dine in experience is not my favorite but great place for take-​out.

Food is good, but, water in the glass tastes funky. This was true on multiple occasions. Also, went in one night to an empty restaurant, my husband and I were offered a small table. We asked for a booth instead and were told no! We left and never went back.

When I went here I believe the actual owners (husband and wife) were working as the waiting staff. The wife should not have been waiting tables and was constantly passing back and forth from the table. If I scrunched up the straw paper and put it on the table she was there in seconds to grab it. The experience felt very intrusive. That being said I know she meant well and did not mean to be rude, especially taking into account there is an obviously large language barrier and cultural difference present.
The food was very delicious, very fresh and not at all over blown with sugar and salt like most Chinese food restaurants do to appease the American consumers. I shall return and forfeit my dollars.

Sweet and Sour Pork was dry and the sauce was watered down to the consistency and taste of fruit juice. Very disappointed.

Not enough meat!
Ordered Mongolian Beef & Kung Pao Beef. Both had a ton of veggies but only a few pieces of meat. Pretty disappointing. The flavor of the meals was alright though.
The fried rice is not real fried rice. It’s like an artificially flavored fried rice with pieces of corn & carrot in it.
The hot & sour soup was a big disappointment too. Very bland.
Overall, will not eat there again.

Me and my boyfriend eat here all the time the prices are great and you get huge portions. Staff is friendly :)

Not bad at all! Good service and good food. I like the sweet and sour chicken. Isn’t like your typical Asian take-​out. I’d eat here again

First time stopping in for take out after driving by hundreds of times.
First I should say that I’m not a fan of Chinese food in general, but I thought this was good. Got the sweet and sour pork combo, which included fried rice, a small egg roll, and a cream cheese rangoon.
The sweet and sour pork was deep fried, but the batter was still very light and crispy. The two sauces included complimented the pork well. The egg roll and rangoon (the combo part) were quite good as well.
The only disappointment was the fried rice. It tasted like it was fried in molasses. It was sweet and heavy, which was not really to my liking. The rice was almost all rice, with very little egg or vegetables.
Side note: They give you a TON of food with each meal. Seriously, they didn’t skimp so don’t go overboard on the sides.
I would definitely come back here if I was looking for Chinese, but I would skip the fried rice.
By the way, they did a very nice job decorating the restaurant. Much different than a Krispy Kreme!

My husband and I ordered the special dinner for two which included soup, appetizers, two entrees and rice. The egg drop soup was good, the appetizer platter was so much food but by the time we finished it, we were too full to eat our dinners other than just taste them. We got teriyaki chicken and kung pao chicken and both were very good, although we wished the teriyaki glaze would have been thicker. The ingredients in the entrees were very fresh and nice. Service was courteous and prompt, as was the food. We got to go boxes and have enough food left over for lunch tomorrow. We will definitely go back there again the next time we are in the mood for Asian food.

Orange chicken, it’s amazing! Nice atmosphere, great service!
Also, Chinese beer «tsing Tao» don’t miss that when you went there!
Recommend!

Opened where the Krispy Kreme donut shop used to be, it’s a little disappointing for a Chinese restaurant. Most of the food seemed disgusting, with a waiter basically bringing out a noodle soup that consisted of a bowl of warm water, and a block of dry, packaged noodles. The waiter then just placed the block of dry noodles in, and left, without stirring or anything. The chicken was decent though, and I think it was the Kung-​Pao chicken that was the best.
The service was adequate, but truthfully, hard to judge, since they did what was necessary to get out food, pay the bills, etc. but never had a conversation with us. I wouldn’t say they were rude, or distant, but they weren’t that friendly with the customers.
Overall, this place was disappointing in it’s ability to deliver good food, and the service wasn’t too friendly as well.

Listen, I dig this place. I like the food, the service, and the prices. I’m not sure what people are expecting but this is a mom and pop Chinese place in Arizona… it certainly satisfies my occasional Chinese food craving. Sit down, order a Tsingtao and some egg drop soup, then enjoy your meal. Get the Kung Pao Delicacies and you’ll be happy.

So, DH and I were heading home from auto-​hiking on Castle Hot Springs Road and we were wanting some Chinese. Except, there’s none in Cave Creek/​Carefree worth eating. But we had stopped at Home Depot in Anthem and we see the sign for Hong Kong Asian and thought — hey!
I don’t know why people are complaining about the pricing. It was right on par with the Chinese restaurants in our old hometown. I ordered the Pan Fried Noodles and DH went for the Kung Pao Chicken. I also added the egg roll and cream cheese wonton to my meal and we ordered a hot and sour soup to share.
Okay, the soup was maybe a dollar more for the same quantity. And at our old place, for 3.95 you could combo up to an eggroll AND soup. But I have noticed that AZ restaurants are really stingy on their «add-​ons».
You know, it wasn’t bad. Not fabulous, but it was the first *real* Chinese we have had in a year. There was plenty of beef, pork, chicken and shrimp in my nicely sauced noodles — they don’t skimp on the proteins — -and lots of tender/​crisp veggies. Same for DH’s Kung Pao. The egg roll had a crisp exterior, but the inside was bland and mushy. The cream cheese wonton was tasty — I could have munched many of those. The hot and sour soup lacked a depth of flavor that I was accustomed to at our old fave.
I have to agree, though, it was salty. Not so much that it was inedible, but after the first bite, I removed my rings because I knew there was some finger-​swelling in my future. But frankly, we overlooked that in our pleasure of *real* Chinese for the first time in a long time! I wonder if you can ask them to pull back on the salt? Or if they even read these comments and can tweak the kitchen on their own?
We took our meals home, but the restaurant looked quite clean, though the décor was nothing to get excited about. About half the tables were full and there was a steady stream of folks picking up their carry-​out. The guy at the counter was polite, if not warm and fuzzy.
Oh — and quantity — we each got two meals out of our containers. I think that’s reasonable.
Because of the salt, I probably would have gone with a 2.5 star rating, but you know how Unilocal is. Whole numbers only.
We’ll be back. It’s 14 miles from our Cave Creek home to Hong Kong Asian, but our previous home was eleven miles from town and Chinese, so… The joys of country living. :)

Food was blah, service was… weird.
We asked for a plate of broccoli for my 6 year old. Pretty simple request, right? «We can’t do that.» I said, «I assure you, you can. You have steamed broccoli, and you have plates. You just go back in the kitchen and put some steamed broccoli on a plate and bring it out.» He went to ask in the kitchen, and after a lot of yelling in Chinese, came out and confirmed that they could not do that. Wow. Really?

Ok, so I finally tried this place out. I was craving Chinese food and I just wasn’t in a mindset to drive down to Phoenix for it.
The Egg Foo Yung had salt pockets, which tells me they didn’t mix the batter enough before frying it. They were huge however, and FULL of flavor; crisp on the outside, perfectly moist in the middle. The gravy needed a little work and a little less cornstarch.
The Orange Chicken had a nice spicy-​sweet sauce and was great.
The fried rice reminded me of getting House Special fried rice in Chinatown, USA. Perfectly fried up, you could tell they did it the proper way by using cold white rice. On a side note, so many restaurants just use hot rice to make fried rice and it really gets gummy and nasty.
The cashew chicken was delicious. Sweet and salty, the sauce was perfect, the fresh veggies in it were perfect, and the chicken was tender.
For the four dishes it was 40 bucks. A lot of people are saying this place is too expensive, but I disagree. Ten bucks an entrée tends to be the tipping point between bad and good Chinese food. I was impressed with fresh veggies, properly cooked ingredients, and moist chicken.
Service was great for my to go order, however they were packed, and in the 5 minutes I was there saw two tables get up to flag down a waitress. It’s my thought that the only Chinese food you go and do sit down at is PF Changs and a hole in the wall in a urban Chinatown like Seattle, DC, or NYC. Everything else has gotta be take out!
Try it out — you’ll be impressed!
