A small takeout Chinese eatery with a fairly standard menu selection bearing high average prices…read more Hong Kong Express serves americanized Chinese fare. Set in a small strip mall, there seems to be adequate parking. Upon entering, the first impression is clean. Featuring newer furnishings, decor and construction. As a child took my order and payment, this is clearly a family business. So I've only had one dish at this place. I can say for freshness of ingredients, it's excellent. For amount of meat added, average. Unfortunately my dish was extremely bland. I had to add 7 packets of various sauce and that was still not enough. As I make this dish at home, the main sauce is soy. I wish I had grabbed more. Speaking of sauce, no sauce, forks, chopsticks or napkins were added or offered. I'm glad I checked and added on my own. This business succeeds in 2 major ways most other Chinese places don't (freshness and cleanliness). I hope I just caught an off dish. I'd return, but until I had a better dish, I wouldn't recommend.

The service was good and attentive, and the food was equally impressive. We ordered the pork fried rice, which was very flavorful, along with fantastic spare ribs that were cooked perfectly. The shrimp lo mein and beef with broccoli were both delicious and generously portioned. There were only a few minor drawbacks: the tea was a bit weak, and the Chinese mustard lacked the kick I was expecting and I asked for Hotsauce and received those little packets, these were small issues in an otherwise excellent meal.

I was here on a Tuesday, so it was very slow, there was only one woman running the front of the house. But, they had some takeout orders going out every so often. That being said, the food is really yummy! I was here with my mom and we each had a hot and sour soup. It was fine, but when you add some of the side of black vinegar and picketed ginger... it was very tasty! We shared the dan dan noodles which were delicious! We also had the crab and pork soup dumplings which were hot and tasty. Finally, we split the stir fries beef filet with scallions and miso which was great! The beef was really tender and the s asinine was spot on. This is a great place to come when you want good food with no frills.

Came here in search for good authentic Chinese food, and I was not disappointed. I whether you are…read moreexperienced or inexperienced, check this spot out and keep an open mind. You won't regret it. It's a Szechuan style Chinese food which is spices and chili oil focus vs the more common Chinese food which is more southern Chinese style (Cantonese). Mom said they had good soup dumplings, "xiao long bao" which are steamier dumplings that have a little bit of soup in them. If you've never had them before, do not eat it all in one bite! Put the dumpling in the spoon they give you and take a small bite into the skin and suck in the soup. If you don't, you'll burn the heck out of your mouth. The soup dumplings were great. Make sure you order them right away because they take longer to cook, it's better to enjoy them first than when you're close to full because they are best when eaten fresh. The other items we got were F5 the fish fillet in chili oil. It came in a big bowl with some mushroom and cabbage and was very good. The spice is more medium, so if you can't handle heat I wouldn't recommend this dish. It was different than the usual fish in chili oil because it was a little saltier than I'm used to, but that's okay because you should eat it with white rice and there were less Szechuan pepper corns if any, which is what we prefer. Usually the peppercorns are a detractor to the dish, but that's the style. The other dishes we ordered were the eggplant in garlic sauce and scallion pancakes. The scallion pancakes were not special but cooked perfectly. They weren't greasy or burned like the ones you'd get from most places. The eggplant in garlic sauce was delicious. The eggplant is an Asian style that resembles a zucchini in shape and size, and doesn't have many seeds as a regular eggplant. The sauce is a little sweet and tangy, great over some white rice. The dish complements the other dishes well because of the contrast in flavors, so you can get a taste of all of the flavors of the rainbow. Like in most places in Jersey, it's in a plaza with plenty of parking but it's clean, especially the bathrooms, and very well decorated. The restaurant feels modern with a Chinese flair. The coolest things were the tea cups, take a look at the pictures. They were really nice!

The negatives: * No one in our group liked the mixed vegetables or the lo mein. Both were in a heavy sauce. * Fried rice was also heavy * The spring rolls were greasy. * The Spicy Trio Roll was disappointing. It was essentially a basic roll topped with a simple spicy sauce and reminded us more of grocery store sushi than restaurant-quality sushi. * The sushi and sashimi were also underwhelming and had that same grocery store quality. Bottom line: If you're looking for a quick, convenient meal and need food ready on time, Tasty Kitchen gets the job done. However, based on this visit, I would only return if my preferred Asian food restaurants weren't available.

That sadly was the best part of the night. We ordered; 8 AYCE and 2 ordered ala carte. My wife's vegetarian and doesn't eat much and my mom doesn't eat raw sushi and ordered the teriyaki shrimp. 1. The service is horrible. We waited 20mins to get our first appetizers. The waitress just dropped off plates and didn't explain what they were. My mom noticed the table next to us ordered what she got and a few minutes later, the waitress asked if she received her entree, which she replied no, and then she went to the table next to us and grabbed their plate and brought it back to the kitchen. We assume they reheated and replated the dish because it was way overcooked. 2. Long wait. Some items didn't arrived after over an hour and we asked about them multiple times. As we were ordering our 2nd round, we just reordered them. We got our waters refilled often but they never checked in to see if we were receiving our food or if we wanted to order more. Like they didn't ask one time. 3. Lost in translation. My parents are immigrants, so I am pretty understanding but the waitress didn't understand much of what I was saying and when I asked for extra ginger while pointing at it she looked very confused. I also asked her what a few items were when she brought them, and she didn't respond. 4. 10% coupon: don't bother trying to use the 10% off coupon from their own website. When we asked for the check, I showed her the coupon and she looked confused like I made it up and I let her know it was from their website under "coupons". She went to the back to ask about it and returned to say it was for online orders only. I mentioned that the coupon doesn't have any fine print except it can't be used with any other offers, and she didn't try to help at all which was frustrating. At the end of the day, it was probably one of the worst meals I've ever had. The food quality was ok except for my mom getting a reheated meal. But the service was terrible. It sucks to have to wait so long for food and things coming out randomly and my son and wife waiting over an hour for their items while others are pretty much done. Save yourself the aggravation and try something else.
