    A nice, quiet place to eat. Not the greatest Chinese food I've eaten, but good enough that I've been back many times.

    Hong Kong Taste is located in the strip next to Winn Dixie. It's small but has a good many tables…read moreinside and an open kitchen. It was clean, including their bathroom. I was met with a chorus of greetings from the front counter as well as the kitchen. The staff is always so friendly, here. I had placed an online order for pick up and had been quoted 10 minutes. I got there a bit early and got to watch the cook staff finishing my order. They're still taking COVID precautions, so their pickup/order area is behind a plexiglass shield. As soon as the last bit was packaged up, I was thanked and I was on my way. Their is a condiment station by the door where utensils, to go menus, napkins, soy, duck, plum, and hot mustard sauce are available. Even after a few stops along the way, my food was still hot. We had ordered the Hot and Sour soup, egg rolls, spring rolls, cheese wontons, and shrimp lo mein. The hot and sour soup was flavorful with tender bamboo shoots, tofu, and mushrooms. It had a pleasant sour note and wasn't too thick - a sure way to know it's fresh. This soup is perfect for sick or allergy days as it clears the sinuses. You can get them to adjust your spice level to your liking if you ask but I like mine as it is normally served. The egg rolls were crisp and fresh. I'll admit their current recipe isn't my favorite. It tastes like they have flavored the stuffing with star anise. It's a licorice flavor that I don't care for but my dad loves them. The spring rolls were wonderful! They were crisp but soft with a tasty vegetable filling. The cheese wontons, while fresh, were not quite to my tastes. I like my cheese filling much sweeter but they were still good. The shrimp lo mein was awesome with plump shrimp, tender vegetables, and noodles in a delicious sauce. What I loved most about this dish is that it was not greasy, which I've found difficult to find when ordering lo mein. Hong Kong Taste is my go to for Chinese in Clanton. It has changed little over the years it has been open. Some recipes have changed but good food and great, friendly service have remained a staple of this establishment. In all my years doing business with Hong Kong Taste I have never had a single issue. My orders have always been correct, I've always been met with a smile and warm greeting, and the food has always been fresh.

    Broccoli beef was tasty! Good prices, good food. Will…read moredefinitely be coming back for more.
