First visit in about 10 years. When I worked in Worcester back then, it was in my rotation and they did a respectable take on old school Chinese, even though it was unglamorous and paled in comparison to Ho Toy Luau (R.I.P.). They've sealed off most of their tables, leaving only two for dine-in, but it's mostly takeout anyway. Beef Teriyaki: Small order yielded three sticks, each with very thin, slightly charred beef. Overly strong salty soy flavor and a texture that summons the adage that there's a very fine line between moist and slimy. But at least not dry and not tough. Sweet and Sour Chicken (on a combo): Thin fingers, less-than-crisp corndog style batter, and low meat-to-batter ratio. Small cup of thin red sweet sauce (no sour) on the side. No fruit. Egg Roll (on the combo): Hot and crisp, but cabbage style with minimal pork and minimal flavor. Pork Fried Rice (on the combo): Nice color, but Rice-a Roni flavor and dry, crunchy texture. Fried rice isn't supposed to be crunchy. Probably a reheat. Well, Hong Kong Island? See you in another 10 years. Maybe. read more

I really like this place. Would I like most about it is that it is all takeout. Thus, ambience really isn't an issue unless you wanna talk about the place looking clean. The multiple times I've ordered over the last couple of months they have always produced my food on time, with what I considered to be a reasonable price. So I would say service is great. The food is some of the better fast Chinese in the area. I have no complaints at all. It didn't blow me away, but it was really good and their eggrolls are far better than the eggroll lady. read more

After 20 years, still really good. Best Fried shrimp around. Rangoons are in my top 3. Boneless ribs perfect.

Their food is generally consistent and good but once in a while we get an order that is just OK - maybe different people cooking... Their prices are average Our favorites are the lo mien, pork fried rice, boneless spareribs and chicken with cashew nuts. The food is always fresh, flavorful and never greasy. I really like that the rice is still fluffy and not like little hard dark pellets that some other places serve. read more

Food was absolutely delicious, really quick service and on a busy christmas night. Only 15-20 minutes and it was a a long order. Great service. read more

Now that we work nights and are up essentially all night and sleep all day, our food ordering options are limited. Hong Kong Island is open until the wee hours of 10pm for delivery on Friday. Their appetizers are carnivore heavy. They have an egg roll and a spring roll, remind me to look up the difference l8r. They also have a bunch of wings and chicken products, along with ribs, crab rangoon (ugh classic), peking ravioli which is interesting, fried scallops, and the necessary scallion pancakes. For the rest of their menu, they divide shit amongst the type/species of protein as well as fried rice, noods, "moo shi", house specialties, and if you're still hanging on to the pipe dream of that summer bod, "dieter's delight". We ordered the scallion pancakes obviously. These were the most disappointing of everything I would say. They weren't terrible. I'll eat the fuck out of them later. I'll mop the grease from the other shit with them. But they were just meh and I'm talking about fried dough with scallions and if that doesn't slap then we have a problemo. We also ordered the veggie lo mein which I will say was pretty good. There's a TON of noodles in that little container and I don't have much to say other than this is one of the better lo mein I've had around these parts. Tina convinced me to order the veggie fried rice which was also impressively good. It's loaded with onions which I despise but when I was able to eat around those fucks, the rice itself is very flavorful and enjoyable. I don't remember seeing many veggies other than a few bean sprouts tho. I threw an order of (yes we ordered more shit SHUT UP) the Yu Hsiang bean curd into the mix because I wanted some veggies and tofu. This is doused with greasy and oily sauce. In fact, when I bit into the tofu, oil and grease literally squirted into my mouth. Brings back bad memories. And I'm not even done lmao Tina got an egg roll which was MASSIVE. She's not even sure there was meat it in, she says it was "mostly cabbage". I was initially going to give this 3 stars because of how fucking greasy it is but then Tina said, "it's chinese food..." and she's right so I upgraded my rating. read more

They take your order quickly and it's behind some plexiglass for both your and the workers safety. The food came out like 15 minutes after ordering even though we ordered so much stuff. Pork Fried Rice: It's average chinese takeout pork fried rice. Super tasty and has some veggies in it. Crab Rangoon: These were hyped up to me by a coworker but they were not very good and honestly the ones I make at home are way better. Chicken Fingers: These were super crispy and really juicy inside. It tastes like they use really nice fluffy batter which helped the flavor of the fingers. The workers are also very kind and explain the menu to you if you have any questions. read more

Reasonably priced AND delicious! We love this spot and get takeout monthly. Food is always fresh, hot and ready quickly. Definitely check them out! read more

The food was not bad at all I got a small combination plate of rice spare ribs and two chicken wings, enough for one person. My only problem is that considering this, I feel it was way too overpriced at $17.50. This makes them one of the most expensive options for chinese food in the area. read more

- Boneless Sper Ribs (5/10; dry and not overly flavourful; wouldn't order again) - C9.

Delicious) - Singapore Rice Noodles (8/10; really enjoyed this) - Large Szechuan Spicy Pork (5/10; wouldn't order again. Wet and the chopped veggies were weird) read more

Ordered online. Got some rice (without veggies) chicken fingers, and dumplings. Order was ready in 15 minutes. Rice came out great, chicken fingers where crunchy and yummy, and one was super long! Dumplings were also delicious. Parking lot is small, so it can be a bit of cluster.. pickup was easy, just gave him my name and was in and out super quick. read more

The perfect chicken fingers: ratio of chicken size to coating is perfection. Pork lo mein is also a good one. And the crab Rangoon's.

Not bad. Foods pretty awesome, people that works there are very nice, only complaint is that the wait times are often longer then they say and have to wait 5-10 minutes longer! But pleased overall! Good job read more

I placed an online order Xmas Eve 2022 & I was given a 20 min wait for waiting time, I got there & was told it would be over an hour, they only had standing room only & I was on crutches, I was willing to wait the hour if they brought my order to my car window which parked outside they're front door (12 feet from the cash register) but they refused so I cancelled it *****UPDATE******** Dec 30 i went in asking why are they refusing to issue me a credit on my credit card, they lied & said my order was made which I point out was not & the whole reason I canceled the order (hour wait) So they offered to remake my order today but after all that I said no I just want my money back & they refused, saying that couldn't do that IMAGINE BEING EXPECTED TO STAND & WAIT FOR FOOD FOR AN HOUR WHILE ON CRUTCHES !!!!!!!!! I WILL NEVER GO BACK I will update this when my credit card responds to this dispute ****Update***** 1/4/23 I called Beyond Menu, is a 3rd party online ordering & billing company for this restaurant, I told them what happened & I learned Hong Kong could have cancelled this at any time and a credit would have been issued but they refused I will use Min's Wok 582 West Boylston St in the future read more

Thid restaurant has really changed in quality and quantity ... ive been going there for over 20 years and since the new owners have taken over, the food has no taste and the portions are half the size. Also the new owners are not particularly friendly Im going to find a new place read more

It's a take it or leave it. Portions are fine. Quality is ok. Prices are ok. I go there for the location. Even if getting in and out of the parking lot can be challenging read more

I have been ordering from here for 2 years and it has rapidly gone down-hill. I just ordered kung pau chicken and I asked for no celery - what I got was a few pieces of weird looking chicken, a tablespoon of peanuts, huge chunks of a few peppers, and 2 cups of mushrooms - which aren't even supposed to be in this dish! I had to pick out all the mushrooms, and it was pitiful what was left. It was disgusting - not worth what I paid at all read more

Absolutely loved everything we ordered. Don't go by outside appearance! This place is fabulous!!

Still very good!! Was better when the parents were in charge! Prices were higher. Got chicken fingers, and they were small. I've been going there for YEARS, Chicken fingers were smaller then they used to be. Still very good, but definitely changes! read more

Easily my favorite Chinese food in the city , bomb fried rice and fried food. The Hong Kong five spicy steak is also very good. Boneless spare ribs are actually meaty instead of tiny strips doused in sauce. Never had anything I don't like from there. Oh and you get free tea even if you're just picking up ! read more

Their food is pretty good specially crab Rangoon they fry rice is usually delicious and that's a fact,that they can accommodate to your taste palette is good. read more

After 20 + years , I can no longer support this business. The prices are astronomical and insulting. An appetizer of chicken wings went from $11.75 to $15.95 in a years span. Portions have been greatly reduced, and the quality of food is inconsistent. The foods look and taste changes every order. The raise in inflation is no justification for price gouging customers, especially for lower quality and quantity. This business should change its name ,so not to embarrass the hard work of the former owners. read more

Hmmm. I'm a bit disappointed. Here's my order: -wontons (large order): about $9, almost NO cream cheese. Comes with some sweet soy sauce? Weird. ONE STAR -orange chicken (with rice): about $11. This was pretty good! The menu says it's spicy. It's not. Haha. -sesame chicken (with rice): about $11. Way too salty. Says it's spicy, not spicy at all. Very plain, no flavor (except excessive salt). One star. The Bill came to about $29 after taxes. Not worth it. Too expensive. Probably will be back just because it's close, but will definitely never order wontons. read more

My favorite Chinese food spot so far in Worcester. The food is always fresh, delivery is always quick and ordering online is a breeze even with special modifications. I have to remember to take a photo of the food the next time I order. I usually get one or some of the following: an order of general Gau's chicken, chicken fried rice (no eggs), chicken fingers, chicken wings, and I've also had their crab Rangoon. All great choices and I'll always order again. I think all meals come with a small order of white rice which is nice. Only downside is the restaurant does not offer delivery, only pickup. You have to order through a third party delivery app. read more

Great location but parking can be tough. Food isn't amazing but it's fine. Prices are fair. I've been many times and I'll be back.

Chicken curry is a great dish. Takes a little longer than most takeouts. But well worth the wait. All other meals are good too. Reasonable prices good service. Better Chinese takeout than any else in this part of the city. read more

Was not great. Fried rice and lomein was not tasty and I thought the amount of food we got was not worth how much we paid for it.

Great small corner Chinese, big portions, hot and good food, . The little boy was very polite. Ill be back for sure

Best take out around! Best mu chi chicken and egg foo young. Doesn't look as much from the outside--don't let this fool you. Glad I went in to order. Clean place inside and friendly help. read more

We've been going here for years and it's hit or miss lately. It was so awful a few months (6 or so) back we stopped going altogether, but after trying 3 other local Chinese places with NO LUCK we went back and the past 2 times have been really good. The fried rice is completely different and the food is not as greasy so I think (maybe?) new owners. Fingers crossed the slump is over. read more

Horrible service, called placed my order they said 20 min, 20 min later I go in they tell me 20 more min. Been waiting for an hour and a half. Waited in the car, tried to call and they unplugged the phone. read more

I have been going to Hong Kong Island for a few years and have always had a good experience. Last night (New Years Eve) I ordered food for pick up at 8pm. I waited for almost an hour for them to give me my food. They said my food was almost done they were just cooking the rice. I would think it being one of their busiest days of the year rice would constantly being cooked. When I got it home and started eating the rice was extremely salty not just a little salty but like someone wasn't paying attention and added TOO much. I am giving 2 stars based on my previous times going and last nights experience. read more

I'll grab a luncheon special here on occasion...not fancy but the food is solid and prices are good. portion size is just right too.

Ordering food here is always so greasy! I cant feel the flavor, all of the flavor is just oil. Will never buy food here again.

Today is 12/30/2019 and I have been going to Hong Kong Island for years and it has been soooooo good, tasty and fresh. Service is wonderful and they have gone out of their way to help me since I am handicapped (like holding the door open). Their chicken fingers are consistent and I just craaaaaave their crab rangoons - oh so worth falling on a diet for. Happy New Year 2020. read more

I don't love American Chinese because it's usually greasy and flavorless, but this place is great. If you liked Chopsticks when it was still in it's prime you'll like this. The Crab Rangoon is outstanding-- crisp and full of cream cheese with just the right amount of crab. The Chicken Fried Rice was outstanding and I really liked the Peking Ravioli's. This is the kind of American Chinese that's great-- very friendly family run business and absolutely worth the trip. Seating is more akin to a pizza place but honestly Chinese is one of the few meals I actually like taking out. I'm a fan. read more

Decent food. Nice owners. Easy in and out. They are very willing to customize your meal.

Been eating here for 25 years, it's the gold standard of Chinese food. Big fan of the chicken wings, egg rolls, and Peking raviolis. I love their style of spicy mustard as well. read more

Most awful Chinese restaurant I've tried. The dishes are not Chinese flavor at all and fried rice is stinky.

Decided to try after driving by for 6 years. If you like your food slathered in corn syrup and pineapple bits, try #122 Hong Kong 5 spice beef. Sounded really good in the "chef's homemade sauce". I gave it one star for the brocolli. The Sesame Chicken also bad, about 75% sticky sweet sauce and thick breaded coating, and you can see some chicken in the middle, isn't that nice. If your looking for inexpensive food, that will taste like your last desert. This is it. Cheap food designed for maximum profit, and you have to have a solid ignorance of gourmet or nutritional food to swallow it. read more
