8/26/2026: Wor Won Ton Soup's broth was YUMMY BUT, I must immediately operate expanding the Wor Won Ton Soup's ingredients . . . Hong Kong Inn DIDN'T ADD Bok Choy, Snow Peas, octopus, scallops, mussels, squid, Tiger Prawns to the Wor Won Ton Soup . . . WHICH BY THE WAY~I ADDED THE ABOVE INGREDIENTS TO THE AILING HONG KONG INN'S WOR WON TON SOUP! Disappointingly and more importantly, Hong Kong Inn's Wor Won Tons disintegrated when I brought the to go container home. Plus, on further inspection, the Wor Won Ton only had three shrimp, a couple of slices of chicken, a couple of slices of Twice Cooked Pork, two sprigs of broccoli, a couple of carrot slivers, AND a couple of zucchini slivers swimming in the Wor Won Ton broth--THAT'S IT???? Yup~This exponentially expensive economy is hurting Hong Kong Inn's ingredients list . . . $15.00 for a serving of Wor Won Ton Soup . . . Compared to a few years ago: Just review the photos because it's not a "figment" of my imagination the escalated price increases, indeed! read more

Day after Christmas, the traffic was minimal. Quiet for the most part. Having a conversation with my date was far from challenging. Chef specials are colossal! Serving size can't go unnoticed. For the exchange in value, you won't be disappointed. Dishes are seasoned well without being overpowered. Honey Walnut Shrimp was also delicious! As visitors to the city of Placerville, they made us feel welcomed which we genuinely appreciate. The dining area and restrooms are clean which speaks volumes on what they are about. Quality! read more

I forgot how good this restaurant can be! Went for lunch on a cold day and I had the House Special Wonton Soup and my husband had the Shrimp Udon Noodle Soup. Both were outstanding!! So many wontons, meat and veggies in mine and a ton of shrimp and veggies in his. I really like that they have many options for lunch and old school family dinners. The service was fast and welcoming. Such a contrast to the service at the last Chinese restaurant we went to recently. If you are a wonton soup aficionado like me, go check out Hong Kong Inn's. read more

Visiting Placerville again and wanted Chinese for dinner. My son had heard good things from co workers about Hong Kong Inn, a glance at Yelp confirmed it to be our choice. We ordered on the phone. We ordered general chicken, broccoli beef, sweet and sour pork, fried rice, chow mien, egg rolls and soup. It was ready upon arrival. Total coming a bit over 80 dollars. It was a ton of food!! Everything was good. I can't imagine they could have done anything better. So, 5 stars. read more

You know what makes this place the best? Quick and friendly customer service. They greet and seat you right away, refill your water, clear your table as the dishes are eaten, and are friendly enough to smile. They still take phone orders. They are old school and I like it. Fyi to vegetarians the imitation crab cheese wontons still have meat in them so avoid those if you don't want meat. All their Tofu and eggplant dishes are awesome. The tangerine sauce for Tangerine Chicken or Tofu is my absolute favorite. I've been going here for nearly 40yrs and have never been disappointed. read more

Hong Kong Inn - Vegetarian/Vegan Dishes - Chinese Near Me - Placerville, California

Staff was nice, the place was nearly empty on a Saturday late afternoon. Everything was way overcooked, vegetables were completely mush. We ordered over $90 worth of food to go. Portions were large, but again, all the vegetables were awful. Bell peppers cooked so long they were no longer green but almost a greyish/brownish color. Very disappointing. Too bad because the sauce on the broccoli beef was tasty. But the salt and pepper shrimp, nope. 3 meats in a nest (or whatever it was called) was terrible. Save your money read more

I think I didn't order the right dishes when I went before, we actually go a fair amount, but I just stick to the chow mein because their rice is not my favorite. I came to find that rather than the lemon chicken, the general chicken is actually pretty good. Chow mein is basic, a little bit of cabbage and some chicken, but if that's what you are looking for, look no further. There's only two decent Chinese restaurants in Placerville, the other restaurant is very similar except I think their fried rice is better but their lemon chicken, and general chicken is not as good. Pick and choose your battles you know? read more

The food here is very good but yesterday I went in and the lady at the front counter was very rude horrible customer service I will not be going back it's a shame because their food is very good read more

Since I was coming down the hill after a day hike in Placerville, I stopped by Hong Kong Inn to grab takeout to celebrate New Year's Eve. I was not in the mood to cook dinner and remembered this restaurant was nearby. The food was pretty good, Americanized Chinese style. They cook without MSG which I appreciate. I ordered the chicken fried rice and tangerine chicken. The fried rice was fantastic. The rice was light and fluffy with absolutely no oiliness. Very clean tasting. The pieces of chicken were cleanly cut pieces of light meat. The tangerine chicken was good. It was not overly sweet since they do not use HFCS sauces or MSG. The coating was not over floured and the chicken was moist. The menu has a hot chili pepper next to the tangerine chicken but you can ask for it to be cooked mild. Still yummy either way. The interior is a bit outdated but clean. The folks that work here are so darn kind. Another great thing about this place is the lunch ~$10.50 and dinner specials ~$13 are offered every day, not just on the weekdays. read more

Hong Kong Inn - Szechuan bean curd (tofu) - Chinese Near Me - Placerville, California

The food is good and the portions are big. This is my favorite Chinese food place in the placerville/diamond springs area because it's the only one that has never made me sick. That said, they do some shady things that have added up to us taking our business elsewhere. We always order to go which is probably why we end up with this issue, but there have been a couple of times where they've stuffed the to-go plate so full of chow mein that you can't see the entrée, but then we get home to find out that we only got a half order of the entrée. Such a stupid thing to do to loyal customers and for what? Saving less than $1 in food cost?? So disappointed. I will not be returning. read more

We were on our way to Tahoe and stopped off here for a cozy belly full of food, and WOW, were we not disappointed! Portions here are HUGE- we both got the chef specials and felt like we had a good diversity of sides with our entrees. Service was super friendly and kind. We'll be back! read more

We tried this place coming home from Lake Tahoe, not sure what to expect. The restaurant was very clean, staff were very friendly and welcoming. We were seated immediately, brought water's and menus, and our order was taken shortly after that. The service was very efficient and excellent. The food came out, hot and abundant. we were surprised by the amount of food. Overall, this was a great experience. I highly recommend this place and I would've given it five stars, but the chow mein noodles were a little overcooked, and the egg rolls could've been hotter, but all in all I will be back and I would rate this establishment 4.8 stars. read more

Great experience and quality food. I don't usually patron to many Chinese restaurants, But this place hits the mark! Delicious food! Large portions, cold beer and great service! Highly recommend. read more

Hong Kong Inn - Lunch special Sweet and Sour Pork Chicken Chow Main, Pork fried rice, & Egg Rolls with Hot tea - Chinese Near Me - Placerville, California

It was good until it wasn't. We've spent so much money here. $75 almost every time we've ordered. Good, clean food. This last time I placed the order, or tried, on the phone she was rude. She wasn't understanding my simple order and when I asked for vegetable fried rice she said they don't make that (which we order every week?) and when I said shrimp fried rice she said how many shrimp you want? $1 each shrimp. WHAT? Since when? Are you putting tariffs on your shrimp now? I've never heard of this. She always just does shrimp fried rice but this time everything was different and weird. Lost our business. Grand China is way nicer! read more

The food is good but portion is not even to amount of money paid. The lady who is usually in front is not very friendly. I don't know if she is manager but most of other staff is friendly. So it is a mixed review. read more

won't be able to go back went and ordered two orders of chicken 3 soups and rice and it was $80

Food here is amazing for us. Always fast and food is served very hot when eating in. Service can be a bit interesting at times, however the food takes place of that. The owner gal can smile sometimes, lol. Customers like that! read more

Great food! I especially enjoy the mandarin chicken, general tso chicken and the sesame chicken. I wasn't super excited about the chow mein as it was pretty flavorless... but the chicken dishes were excellent and made up for it. read more

Lots of yummy tofu options. My favorite is the General Tso tofu. Good, greasy chow mein. Very casual, unassuming place. Easy parking.

One of my favorite wonton soups I've ever had! They are fairly priced and very fast service. read more

Hong Kong Inn - House special Wonton Soup - Chinese Near Me - Placerville, California

Came in for veggie lunch. Ordered the veggie chow mein lunch special, it came with options of egg fried rice or steamed rice, I chose steamed. Soup of the day, hot & sour soup. The one thing I did not like was the egg roll that came with the lunch special was pork, I asked of they had a veggie egg roll instead and the waitress said well its only a little pork. So I did not have that. The chow mein was fresh and hot, had lots of broccoli, carrots, onions and mushrooms. Very good 9/10 the soup was also very tasty. Overall I would come back again. read more

Hong Kong Inn had great food portions and great quality Chinese food. I ordered the orange chicken which had great flavor, but could need a side sauce. The vegetable fried rice was great, and the pork chowmein has bigger noodles and was not greasy which is good. The interior of the restaurant is cozy and the service is great. I would say tho that the food is very expensive but you are paying for a huge portion of the food. read more

Have gone here for many years and it is my Chinese fav!!!!! Reasonable in price so my book club is delighted when we meet and enjoy an awesome lunch. They never never rush us !!!! Portion size is large with soup and egg roll included. My fav is Mongolian beef and my husband loves sweet and sour chicken. Service is great. And you can order an item mild even if the menus has that spicy notation. Please come and enjoy a wonderful lunch or dinner. If we don't ... family owned gems like this one will close read more

They used to be delicious, now it's awful. Tried 3 times over 3 months hoping it was a fluke; everything sucked. Overcooked, soggy, sad food. Raley's has better Chinese food! read more

Thanks be to the almighty kitchen gods they finally got their damaged storefront fixed a few months back they were closed for months and the few other places we tried just aren't as yummy, we were sad. The food is good they give you enough to have leftovers always get the order complete and correct and are nice people. This review is for takeout we order from them 2 or 3 times a month. read more

I really enjoyed the chow mein. The noodles are on the larger size, not oily, and very tasty. The veggie medley was overcooked. The honey walnut prawns tasted ...floury? Idk. read more

The service is terrible but the food is good it took an hour to get our food and about 40 minutes to get our order taken and while ordering she was disrespectful and kept walking away before we could order everything . The younger man is nice but the woman just is so disrespectful I understand it was Mother's Day but come on people it's not hard to give people good service read more

I thought this was an excellent Chinese restaurant. Huge portions, delicious food and reasonable prices. They offer specials for both lunch and dinner that include soup, egg roll, etc. However, virtually every item on the menu comes with soup, so it's not really necessary to order one of the specials. I've never seen soup offered with every entree like that anywhere else. I had the chicken egg foo young. It was a huge portion and it was delicious! read more

I ordered 4 take out orders, all different entrees. Each order was 80% steamed rice and 20% entree. I tried one more time and the order came the same way again... almost all rice in each order. I have found another Chinese restaurant that is far superior! read more

Stopped in because everyone says its the best chinese food. I ordered a lunch special of shrimp and veggies. Brought it home so find sweeet and sour shrimp. It wasn't terrible,just not what I ordered. The rice was not fully cooked and was almost crunchy. The spring roll was soggy. Not thebest chinese food. When I went in, the staff was all sitting and having lunch together which is fine,just service seemed slow because of it. Definitely not what was expected read more

This place never disappoints! The food comes fast, HOT, and fresh! I love watching the family make the egg rolls and foil wrapped chicken together. They make sure your drinks are filled and very attentive. Not easy to find all of the above! read more

Great food & even better location. The only thing I would disagree with is the price on the menu items are a little expensive, these days they should be lowering the price on the entrees. But they do offer a discount if you pay in cash ‍‍ read more

Service is good but fried rice undercooked some rice being more crunchier as if they mixed older rice with newer undercooked rice and the chow mein noodles were also undercooked. Win tons in soup had to sit a bit in hot broth to softer but they were also a little undercooked as well but were good as they sat in broth. Each time I visit Placerville, I like to bring my four grandkids to eat here but this will be our last visit. This experience happened around 12:45 on a Saturday afternoon. read more
