    For 30 years I've been a patron at Hong Kong cafe. The food is great, recipes have never changed, and seemingly neither have the prices. I've moved well out of the area and upon visiting tonight I was immediately brought back to my youth. Best Chinese styled cuisine around, and great service...and the mustard is wonderfully spicy hot! Conveniently located in downtown hickory in union plaza, with plenty of street parking. Please support this local, long running establishment!

    a tray of fried food and a cup of coffee

    I would say two stars but I guess technically I played a part. Ordered sweet and sour chicken. They toss theirs in the sauce, despite the picture inside of fried chicken with sweet and sour on the side. They were nice enough to redo that for me. I asked for it with pork fried rice which they said ok to. When I paid I was charged a pork fried rice platter and sweet and sour chicken meal. 16.00 for one dinner. It wouldn't have been so bad had I got the rice that traditionally came with the chicken but I didn't. All that to say when I got home and tried it the chicken tasted like the grease was old and the rice was not so impressive. Hope they do better they seem to be very well established and I was excited to try this place for a first time. Will likely not go back.

    Pan Fried Dumplings

    Chinese fast food at its finest. *Note, my review is a little biased, but don't brush this off! I came here with my parents because the owner is a long time family friend. Not only reconnecting with lost friends, we had an amazing and excellent time while dining here. The restaurant is surrounded by a town like feeling with the small street lights glowing upon the restaurant. In front there is a lounging area and walkway around the building. Upon walking in, a sense of family and unity washes the restaurant as swarms of high school students and families gather to eat their meals. With my family, we were prepared a feast. This is what we had: 1. Pan Fried Dumplings - Which were delicious. It also came with a sauce that had a little kick of heat to it, at the same time washed over with a bit of sweet and vinegary taste topped off with green onions. 2. Fried Wontons served with Sweet and Sour Sauce - these are wontons, lightly fried with cream cheese stuffed in the middle. It should remind eaters of a crab Rangoon, however it's just the cream cheese. These were also excellent. 3. Fried Chicken Wings - Pretty generic, nothing exciting. If you ever ate at a Chinese restaurant and had chicken wings, then you know this dish. However, I must say Hong Kong Cafe does do it a little different. I can't put a finger on it, but I enjoy their twist whatever it is. 4. Shrimp Lo Mein - I think this one is off the menu, however if asked they would probably make it. This dish is filled with green beans, shrimp, noodles, and even zucchini. Mixed in this dish is a little bit of heat, which gave this dish a little kick in my palate. 5. House Special Fried Rice - Finally for the last dish we had the fried rice. This came loaded with everything, note this is for three and I don't know the real amount per person. However, I know that it is loaded with all the meats and even shrimp. Nothing new, however I promise it will get you full. Overall, this place is great. I know nothing better in Hickory to go eat chinese food, and this place does it well. I will definitely come back here for another visit and taste.

    Do not waste your time or money. Find another Chinese Restaurant and avoid the Habaichai which is about 10mins away.

    Worst Chinese food I've ever eaten. Had to throw most of it away! The chicken was full of bones and grisel. Will never go back.
