Hong Kong King - Pork fried rice - Chinese Near Me - Salem, Massachusetts

I ordered delivery last night and was a bit hesitant based on reviews. But we were pleasantly surprised. What we ordered (and my rating is next to it) 1. Egg Rolls - These egg rolls were pretty fat and fried nicely; however, they won't be ordered again bc the stuff inside was just basically cabbage, and no other flavors were found. 2. Scallion pancakes - pretty good, yet again, the flavor was missing here; I couldn't even see any scallions! 3. Boneless Spareribs - pretty tasty; hubs said they were right up there with some of the best. I am not a huge fan anyways, so we will go with his rating! 4. Dumplings - Fried, these were really tasty! and paired well with the dipping sauce. Winner! 5. House Special Lo Mein - very, very good. Not too saucy, but enough and the noodles weren't overcooked! 6. Sesame Chicken - Kiddo loved this one. I tried one, and yep, I will get it again! 7. Kung Pao Shrimp - this was my favorite of the evening. The shrimp was juicy and plump and pretty large pieces too. The sauce is cravable! 8. Seafood Delight - I was impressed by the large pieces of seafood, and the sauce was garlicky and light and just enough. The veg was steamed perfectly, still with a bit of bite, and not overcooked! 9. Hot and Spicy Beef - how do they get the meat so frickin' tender! This did have a good kick; as advertised, it wasn't so much that you couldn't eat more. Of the nine dishes, Kung Pao Shrimp was the obvious winner. But 7/9 will be ordered again. Delivery was very smooth and fast! No hidden charges when ordering online, like another place I tried a few weeks ago. And plenty of leftovers to munch on later. Oh, one more ding, minor because I had some on hand, but they didn't send the lil cups of Chinese hot mustard? Oversight maybe? We will be ordering again! Heck, it might be our new place for New years eve with my mother-in-law! Although I really wish the egg rolls were better, ugh. read more

If you want fresh - do not eat here! I spent over $60 bucks here and I am a local. The rice made us both sick with stomach pains, it was almost black in color. Whatever they fry the food in has definitely not been cleaned for years. Our scallion pancakes tasted like a grease pancake, no flavor and the "ginger sauce" was soy sauce and water - yuck! Everything was greasy and flavorless other than the crab rangoon which was decent. I would not recommend this place, there are WAY better places on the north shore. For the over prices they charge, they should be ashamed feeding this to people! Sad because I am 2 minutes walking distance and they will never receive my business again, nor my friends. read more

I love the Crab Rangoons...my favorite in Salem. My roommate and I order them and never had a complaint. Good price for the amount they give you. We love this place. :) read more

Hong Kong King - netflix and 'goons ;) - Chinese Near Me - Salem, Massachusetts

Their food is good and plentiful. I order takeout from them at least 1/x hey, per week. The shrimp chop Suey and Mushu pork on my favorites.

They used to be a great option before I moved. I just moved back and went and it's not the same. the special plate used to be full of rice, now they only give you some rice. The crab rangoons used to be so full, with great crab; is they're sad and pathetic. Even the poor chicken fingers lost about a pound a piece. They're cutting back to kale profit, and making a lot of terrible changes. You guys lost a postal customer man. read more

I placed an online delivery order last night: - the online order process was simple and easy - I live on the outskirts of Salem, and the order arrived in 30 minutes despite them being busy with Halloween visitors (OK, I'm guessing at how busy they were) - the order was correct, and the food was delicious - I didn't have to drive downtown to pick it up. Can't beat that for a positive experience! Highly recommend HKK. read more

I wrote last week but my message was meant to read do NOT eat there. We got violently ill that night and Sunday just from the few bites we had. I called to let them know how bad the food was and they were indifferent. The cost of food today means when ordering out it should at least be edible. They have a HORRIBLE attitude. read more

For the last 10+ years I have always been satisfied with their quality of food and service. I am fortunate to have them in my neighborhood.

I love HKK!!! I order from them every few weeks. We love the rice noodles, the soups, the salt and pepper wings are the best!!!

I can't say anything good or bad about this restaurant....I got the Pupu for 1... Food was better than pretty good, but no where near excellent...I'd say it's about a 3-4. According to the yelp star system....Plenty of food, hot when I got it, and still pretty warm when I got home...I paid 11.00 for the meal..... read more

I recently ordered a delivery order. Food arrived promptly and was hot. I liked the hot and sour soup, but wasn't impressed with the Kung Pao Chicken which consisted of way too many chunks of celery! My friend loves the food here, so I thought I'd give it a try. read more

Long time customer. Always order the same special meal. Tonight it came with a strong taste of something chemical or pharmaceutical. Felt sick after 2 bites. Chemical in food burned my lips. Called HKK many times. No one speaks english. Didn't care about public health, just wanted to bicker over a refund I hadn't even asked for. After milk and charcoal the nausea is going away. Going to report this to the health department. I understand that accidents happen, but the test of a person is how they react and this place was so indifferent to hearing they'd poisoned a customer that I would tell everyone within earshot to NEVER order from this place. Not because I think they'll poison you, but because I know first hand that if they do they won't care. read more

$8.50 for seafood delight soup with 1 shrimp, 1 scallop the size of half of a cashew and a partial sliver of imitation crab meat. The most expensive vegetable soup I have ever purchased. read more

I wanted to give this local Chinese joint a good rating, really I did. But after multiple times getting General Gau chicken, pork fried rice, dumplings, crab Rangoon, and pork lo mein, I can't say I recommend any of these dishes from here. General Gaus is edible and the staff are nice, so 2 stars instead of 1. read more

Got TWO pu pu platters for 2 New Years Eve and an additional side of Pork Fried rice. $38. Got home. Only 3 chicken wings in there with a random amount of Chicken Fingers and random amounts of everything else. Only 1 of the two pork fried rice that should come with the pu pu platter. It was also greasy. The store itself is filthy as well It was too late to go back. I chalked it up to a loss. Never went before. Will never go again. #NeverForget read more

Fast, cheap, and efficient. Oh yeah, and GOOD! Even on Halloween when they're slammed the food is delish, the service is friendly, and the place is clean. Really, what more can I say. Hong Kong King is the best Chinese in Salem. Eat here. read more

Very good cheap americanized Chinese food! I have enjoyed everything I have ever gotten from this place (and I have now tried quite a few). The lunch specials are insane, all under $6 and contain enough food for two!!!! read more

Hong Kong King - a sign for the restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Salem, Massachusetts

It really disappoints me to have to write this review because up until today, this was my go to place to get Chinese take out! Last weekend I ordered some take out and paid over the phone with my credit card (which I normally do). I am not sure who changed the tip amount, but when I went to verify the charge on my account I noticed they added almost $10 more for my order (which is much more than the $2.00 tip I signed for). I tried calling the restaurant and was put on hold for over 10 minutes! Now I am going to have to go in person to dispute the charge. The food is usually very good and the portions are big, but if (and that is a very BIG IF) I ever order again I would either pay cash or pick it up myself. If you order from here, BE CAREFUL when using your credit cards!! read more

Ordered some food for new year's eve, placed the order around 2 pm for 6:30 pm. What I received: cold food, missing parts of the order and a whole lot of attitude when I brought it to their attention. Apparently my money was welcome but my satisfaction was not. If you are looking for good Chinese food of normal to high quality and a basic level of customer satisfaction, you should keep looking. "There is nothing we can do." - this is what they said to me. read more

Hong Kong King didn't do it for me. It was good, but I just wish it was better. The lo mein was too salty and the spring roll was a little soggy. However, I did like the crab rangoon. It wasn't very crabby and tasted more like cream cheese wontons, but who's to complain. Cream cheese rocks! Their lo mein was hot and gigantic with pieces of pork jumbled inside it and their prices are pretty low for combos. I might give Hong Kong King another chance. - Brownie Out read more

Terrible bland food, rice costs extra, and the wontons have nothing in them which they do NOT tell you

Your average American chinese. Yes it's greasy and salty but I'm guessing that's what most people are looking for with this place. I love the hot and sour soup and their spare ribs. The combo dinner D5 is my go to. Comes with pork fried rice, beef teriyaki, chicken wings and ribs. The delivery time is amazing. I ordered and got my food in 20 minutes, in Salem in the month of October. Amazingly fast! They do notice when you're a regular customer so that's nice :) read more

Chinese food is so good. and I enjoy it. I miss buying chinese food at some places for like 5 bucks and it was good. Also chinese buffet outstanding. read more

My husband is enroute to Hong Kong King to demand a refund as I write this review. We expected a good experience from the many positive comments, however, we were given unspeakably terrible food this evening. So terrible, we question if it was even made today. Among the offenses; cold, stale rice, mutated chicken wings and 100% fatty boneless spare ribs. All of this complete with a putrid odor. We are new homeowners here in Salem and were looking forward to trying something close to our neighborhood. We will never return here again. read more

Not the worst Chinese food in Salem, but close. The spring roll was really greasy. The egg foo yung was thick with big chunks of veggies, which would be okay if you like giant cubes of celery. I prefer more egg in my foo yung. The "gravy" that came with it was super thick and tasted strongly of soy sauce. The crab rangoon was atrocious. No crab whatsoever that we could taste, and filled with scallion and carrot. It had a very off-putting texture, nasty. Will not order from here again. read more

Prior to moving to Salem my girlfriend and I ate here, in August 2013, on a recommendation from a local at bar who told us it was the best Chinese joint in town. So we went and ate, and we both were quite disappointed. I don't remember what I had then, but I just remember thinking "this food is mediocre at best." Tonight, 1/25/14, after reading the reviews on Yelp and seeing many folks liking it and swearing by it, I thought I would give it another shot and order something that sounded interesting on the menu. I ordered D15.Cashew Chicken with pork fried rice. Now, let me begin by saying there wasn't a single cashew to found be in my meal! Instead of cashews I got huge cubes of celery (and I don't much care for celery). The chicken and the sauce weren't too bad, but there wasn't much of a kick to it. The food itself has a very "oily" smell to it; in fact, the oil smell overpowers all the other smells. The fried rice was disappointing: it looked and and smelled like it was fried in three day old grease with a very over powering oil taste to it. I ordered a spring on the side and it was simply put - awful. I couldn't tell you exactly in what oil it was fried in but it had a very unpleasant taste to it. This was particularly disappointing as I'm a big lover of spring rolls. The Wonton soup was at least a day old and tasted like it's be sitting on low heat for about twelve hours. Have you ever stopped at a gas station late a night and grabbed some coffee and it tasted burnt? Well, the wontons have a very similar taste to them. Not to forget to mention it was salty. In short, I don't recommend this Chinese place to anybody. Although, I am aware one cannot expect the same quality as "fancy" restaurants in the smaller take out joints - but this place just stinks. read more

Oh Hong Kong King - how I miss you! This may be the best Chinese food I've ever had. We moved from Salem more than 6 months ago (after only living there for about 6 months) and we *still* talk about how much we miss HKK. The food is so tasty. The truly amazing part however, is the super fast delivery. Sometimes they are so super fast that they forget things... like spicy mustard. Or where to find our door. But overall, I don't care. If I could order from Hong Kong King where I live now, I'd do it (almost) every week. read more

Fast service and great price without compromising deliciousness. Best Chinese in Salem. Typical order arrives in 15-20 minutes. We have tried the Chicken lo mein, sweet and sour chicken, general Tsos chicken, egg rolls, dumplings and shrimp with cashews--All with much satisfaction. read more

I somewhat enjoyed this average Chinese food until I had Kung Pao chicken that caused havoc in my stomach. Not eating here again.

We have been ordering from them for many years. Tonight was the worst we have ever had. My wife said her soup was more like dishwater. The rice was like eating salt from a spoon, or maybe it was the lobster sauce since we put it onto of the rice. How do you mess up an egg roll. They did it. This was the worst of the worst. They are just up the street so it is a real shame, but we will need to find another place. read more

I moved to Salem a couple of weeks ago, and Hong Kong King happened to be right next door (lucky me!). After reading all the wonderful reviews, I was expecting delicious food. And I have to say I wasn't disappointed. Best lo mein I ever tasted ( well, I don't order it very often, but still). It was delicious even next day. Something tells me I'll ordering from them very very often. Can't wait! read more

We usually go with Honga, but recently they haven't been so good. Last night we tried Hong Kong King based on fellow Yelpers reviews. The food was so good! Delivery was quick. Definitely going here again! Our new favorite! read more

Got take-out after reading the positive reviews on Yelp. Ordered the chicken lo-mein, pork fried rice, and wonton soup. The food was great, and the portions were unbelievable. I got a large lo-mein, and the already large contained was so packed full of noodles that i never thought I'd be able to finish them! Order the large, and you'll have plenty of leftovers! read more

I want to give it 4 stars because it's probably not the healthiest food in the world, but it'd only be because i have no self control. Rib stickin' americanized chinese food, mmm mm. Wish I didn't live so close, it's quite good. read more
