When it comes to takeout Chinese restaurants, I think Hong Kong #1 is one of the best in the area. With authentic flavors, high quality food and speedy service, Hong Kong #1 is always my go-to option when I want a quick Chinese meal. The food at Hong Kong is very consistent in terms of flavor and quality. I often find myself ordering the same thing every time I order because they do such a great job preparing the dishes that I love. I can attest that their chow fun, fried rice, and Szechuan tofu are fantastic. However, in my opinion, their shrimp and broccoli is always their go-to dish. Contrary to other takeout places, the broccoli is always fresh tasting, and crisp. It isn't soggy and limp like it has been sitting in sauce for over an hour. Also, the shrimp are just fantastic. The chef is never stingy about the shrimps, they are always massive, and in high quantity. Not only that, but the gravy that comes with the dish accompanies the rice very well. I would highly recommend this dish. The problem I have with Hong Kong is how they prepare some of their vegetables. Whether it be the string beans, the eggplant, or the home-style tofu, some of their dishes are just too sweet. Obviously, these flavors might appeal to a particular palate, but I definitely prefer my vegetables to be savory. Despite my complaint about the vegetables, I always know Hong Kong will come through on some of my personal favorites, and that is why I will continue to order from Hong Kong #1 many more times in the future. read more

The young lady at the front was very rude and walked away as I was asking a question. Never said thank you either. I ordered Egg Foo Young and it was very plain. The crab Rangoon was so dry and over cooked. I wasted $32 on this. read more

This is the best Chinese food place in my area. My old staple Chinese food place went out of business and I tried a bunch of different places afterwards. They were all bad, but not this place. It is really great! This will be my new go to. read more

Best egg roll I ever ate ! Ordered delivery and it was hot and delicious! This was really good!

I found this little hidden gem just down the street from where I was working on a job. Placed my order through Yelp and my order was confirmed by the restaurant. I showed up when Yelp said it was ready and there it was waiting for me. When I go to place for the first time , I always get Hunan Chicken with steamed rice and and egg roll. I like to see how well they actually cook and not deep fry things. Anybody can deep fry. When I removed the cover from the entree, it smelled delicious! It tasted even better. The steamed rice was perfect; soft but not soggy and sticky and it soaked up the Hunan sauce so well. The chicken was tendu and succulent and melted in my mouth. The veggie medley tasted fresh was was cooked beautifully! Not mushy, but nicely crunchy. The shrimp egg roll was also nicely done with the outside flaky and crunchy and the inside soft and chewy with lots of flavor. I don't give out 5 stars easily, but in the realm of shopping center Chinese food, this was as good as it gets! I'll be back when I'm in the area! read more

Hong Kong No. 1 - 69. Hunan Chicken, Shrimp Egg Roll - Chinese Near Me - Cary, North Carolina

Great food, consistently delicious. Even when you DoorDash, the food quality is still pretty good. Highly recommend ordering Hong Kong no.1 if you're craving Chinese. The chicken wings + pork fried rice is my go to combo read more

I haven't had Chinese food in a long time so I was looking forward to trying this place after reading the reviews. I stopped in to order (as opposed to calling it in) because I couldn't find a current menu online. The lady at the counter seemed pleasant. Impressed she didn't even write down my order. Food came out fast! I waited out in the car and it was probably 7-10min. I went with the Sesame Chicken lunch special, wanton soup and vegetable lo mein. Total was $15 and change. The food was pretty good... surprisingly, I felt like it could use some salt, mainly the pork fried rice. The sesame chicken was what I expected, sweet sticky sauce over crispy fried chicken. The lo mein was a little more (garlicky?) than I am used to but it was still good with fresh crisp veggies. I think my favorite was the wanton soup! It came with a decent number of wantons too! Portions were large. I ate my fill and there is still TONS left for another meal (or two!) read more

I was a little hesitant to try this one, but luckily my wife forced me to order from there. I'm so glad she did, because the prices are very good and the food is great. I like to order beef dishes, but often the meat is inedible but that's not the case here-every bite is tender not waste! One thing I will say is the egg rolls can be great, or they can be a very thick doughy texture-still a 5 star review though. read more

Horrible service..Horrible food...will never order food from this restaurant again. I ordered my food in the restaurant and the lady at the register waited to drop the chicken that I orderd until she served all of the patrons that walked into the restaurant after me. The wings had no flavor and the fried rice was simply NASTY! read more

I would never recommend this place to anyone. They were extremely rude when I asked for more sauce they had gotten extremely mad and when i had gotten my food i saw spit on top very noticeable. If i could give 0 stars i would read more

This is the best Chinese food that I have been able to find in the area. I haven't had any issue with my food or the stuff.. I'm always thanked for my purchased and never giving 'attitude'.. read more

General two white meat chicken barley had chicken it was mostly all batter and thin chicken like u would find in the lo men . Waste of money I barley ate it. Shrimp egg roll was excellent and made fresh . Crab Rangoon was very tasty in the inside but the outside was not crispy it was more like soggy. read more

"Hong Kong No. 1" is a hole-in-the-wall Chinese restaurant tucked into a back corner of a mini-mall on High House and NC 55 in Cary. This place is small, clean, brightly lit, and decorated with low-cost furniture, and bare minimum decorations. It's too unkind to call it divey, but it certainly embraces authentic spartan decorating styles of mom-and-pop Chinese joints. This is bare bones basic dining, not family dining experience. For example, there are no reusable cutlery and their spoons are exceptionally flimsy and don't expect an steaming mug of jasmine tea here. Cokes are in the fridge. The proprietors speak Cantonese, but their menu is focused on Americanized Chinese food. So come here for Mu Shu Pork, General Tso's Chicken, Egg Fu Young, and Orange Chicken. They advertise that their chicken is organic. And their vegetables are fresh, crisp, and well prepared in a wok. Prices are quite affordable - roughly $5-8/dish and downright cheap for lunchtime meals (oddly priced $5.29, which ends up being $5.79 with tax). They are happy to cater the dishes to your preferences and the female proprietor gleefully yells the order in Cantonese back to what I have to assume is her husband. I asked for no MSG and, contrary to many other places, actually got a meal without MSG. The food quality can be best described as "inoffensive". It is well-cooked, hot, but is bland and flat. And that is a shame. I would actually prefer something that is too oily, too salty, too sugary, too spicy, too something than the meals here - which seemed very "meh". If there was a word of advice that I'd give the cooks, it's get a bit more adventuresome on your flavors - dig the wok spatula a bit deeper into the garlic, sugar, Chinese vinegar, and spices. It's okay to try, but perhaps the worst thing you can be is absolutely forgettable. Best Chinese is still C&T Wok in Morrisville, about 8 minutes away by car. read more

I'm not from NYC so I guess that puts me at a disadvantage for knowing what "real" Chinese food is, but I'll give it a try anyway... This place is OK. Just average. And, I'm going with 2 instead of 3 stars because I don't plan on being back. Both my wife and I agree, everything was flat. The Wonton Soup needs more salt and flavor. Same for the Egg Drop Soup. The Sweet and Sour sauce needed more sugar. The dipping sauce for the Pork Steamed Dumplings was lacking a bit in flavor. The Pork Fried Rice was probably one of my least favorites that I've tried. On a positive, the actually dumplings for the Pork Steamed Dumplings and the chicken for the Sweet and Sour chicken were both good. That's it, those are the starting dishes we like to try from any Chinese place and they just didn't make the cut here. read more

Our go to spot next to HighCraft Beer Market, you can bring food in while you enjoy yummy craft beers. We like their combo platters - beef with broccoli, Hunan chicken, and scallion chicken or beef are all good. Combo comes with pork fried rice and egg roll. Inexpensive date night, especially if go to 1/2 price beer Monday night next door. read more

Tried for the first time last night. Easy no contact orders & pick up. The hose special soup was awesome - large slices of pork, chicken and many shrimp. The broth was nice, clean and veggies even had some crunch - this will always be on my order. Also had fried rice and moo shu pork - both good quality but no spice...I'll ask them to add some next time. Happy to have found a good regular chines place right around the corner! read more

Family run no frills American Chinese joint best for takeout. Recently tried takeout here for the first time to switch it up from our usual standbys. They are similarly priced to other places in the area. The food is good American style Chinese food. It is greasy. It is not healthy. But it's yummy and satisfied our crave for an easy takeout meal. The food is good but not super exciting. The crab rangoon were good. Nice amount of filling. Beef ho fun was a little bland but would be willing to try it again. The general tso's chicken was well fried and tasty, but maybe not quite the flavor we are most used to. Unfortunately there's no delivery available either by the restaurant staff themselves or on delivery apps such as Grubhub or Uber eats. read more

As others have said, C&T Wok is 1000x better in food quality. Mediocre chinese food can be forgiven, but courtesy should be a given. I think the owner is really really rude. Try this - ask the owner what she thinks is good, and she will shrug her shoulders, then pay for your order, get your food, thank her, and be ignored. read more

We ordered on the phone and picked up food from Hong Kong 1. Pretty basic stuff - some fried rice and lo mein. It was fine, generally what one would expect at a location like this, but nothing to brag about. The interior itself is very basic and not a place that I would find very inviting for a sit-down dinner. But the people are friendly and it's pretty fast food service. The location is in a declining shopping center. That's both good and bad. The bad is that it's declining for a reason (hard to see what's there, not very convenient from the main drag), and its main tenant just went out of business. But the good is that maybe something magical will happen to revive it at some point in the future. And right now the parking is prevalent. read more

I went to Hong Kong #1 today to place a pickup order and I was very disappointed with the service. The lunch specials end at 3pm and I came into the restaurant then but the workers were talking in the back and totally ignored that someone entered the restaurant. I announced loudly that I needed to order but no response. I almost had to go behind the counter for someone to finally realize I was there. By that time, it was after 3:00 and the cashier told me lunch was over. I told her I had been waiting over 5 minutes for someone to recognize me but she rudely said I could not get the lunch special, so I turned around and left. Little did she know that I was ordering for my football party and it was a very large order. I went to another Chinese restaurant and spent over $100+ which I would've spent at Hong Kong #1. This experience has lead me to find another Chinese restaurant with nicer employees and better customer service. read more

Good food and solid portions. Love the angel hair rice dishes! Spring rolls are good as well.

I have been here a few times and overall I am pleased with the meals I have tried including lo mein, beef with broccoli and chicken fried rice. I was not a big fan of their egg drop soup as I think the consistency is a little too thick. I think they could add a little more meat to their meal items but overall the flavor and seasoning is good. The portion sizes are large and the turn around time is pretty quick for take out. read more

The food is is addible, but prices have steadily increased and significantly over the past year almost every six or eight months I cannot recommend it based on the price. read more

I just moved to this side of town and was craving some Chinese food. I'm glad I tried this place. The honey chicken is delicious and the fried chicken wings are amazing. I have also tired the ribs but I wasn't a fan. read more

Good food at a much lesser price. Found the lady at the desk to be courteous. I was surprised to see them use only organic chicken. Kudos to them for having the same price as other restaurants of their kind and still manage to serve organic chicken. Their take out portions are very generous. Bottomline: Good food and very reasonable price. Will come back. read more

Descent priced food. Called in my order was ready for pick up. And if you have. Non pork eater they have chicken fried rice. Hot & sour soup was good and spicy great for a cold. Lil mama had the Beef Lo Mein and I didn't hear a complaint. read more

I ordered a delivery for sweet and sour chicken using DoorDash. The main reason I chose this restaurant was because I wanted to try their sweet and sour chicken and they offered Lo Mein as a side instead of the usual rice. I received the order in normal time and as I got my order, the main ingredient that I wanted (sweet and sour sauce) was nowhere to be found. When I called, they told me that they were sorry an that's it! That made me furious! read more

Finally a good Chinese take out place. A good selection for vegetarians. Sometime you need to be extra clear while placing an order over the phone. A few times we have got egg in our rice when we asked not to put eggs. read more

Hong Kong No. 1 overall has good food but sometimes it's hit or miss. The hot and sour soup and Mongolian beef have always been very good. The egg rolls have always been terrible so don't waste your money. The chicken chow mein is hit or miss and the one time I had chicken chow fun it was horrible. The noodles were over cooked and were nearly falling apart. This won't stop me from going there but limits what I will order. read more

Very disappointed they ran out of tofu. I am vegetarian. I look forward to tofu dishes. When i tried to order i was told there was none. Left with nothing to order. They could go to a grocery store and buy more so as not to disappoint customers. read more

This is a great reliable place for quality Chinese food. The egg drop soup is the best I have ever had anywhere! We have never been disappointed with anything we have gotten here. read more

This is the best place to eat Chinese take out in all of Cary/ Apex. The food is always hot and fresh. The service is always prompt and we are never disappointed. The flavors and freshness never disappoint and I highly recommend this establishment. read more

This place is great!!! Fresh vegetables, good portion and food served hot! We liked it so much we back a day later to try it again!

This food is amazing! Service was fast. The food was piping hot and full of flavor. My husband got kung pao chicken and I got the moo goo gai pan. Both were excellent. Lots of times moo goo gai pan can be bland but it was flavorful, the chicken was tender and the vegetables were crisp and fresh. The kung pao had lots of peanuts and savory sauce. The pork fried rice was good, as were the egg rolls. Portions were generous and prices good. The place is super casual but don't let that stop you. This place is great! I don't see why this place has only 3.5 stars. I am Asian from SoCal - trust me, this place is awesome. read more

I would give this place a zero if I could. First started with the phone call. The woman answering the phone told me "you pay now" in a stern voice after I ordered. Then said 10 min and hung up. Very rude already. When I got there I was trying to figure out what all the signs said she kept pointing to them. As I was about to cal in to let her know I was here she comes to the door saying my order in an annoyed tone. Now to the food. I got home to what I was thinking was going to be awesome general t's chicken was not. I paid extra for white meat but I'm honestly not sure I even got chicken. My teeth hurt from piece I bit into that couldn't even be broken to eat. The others feeing like I was eating foam. Rice not fully cooked and honestly just horrible. I paid $11 to throw away my food and need to go and pay for another dinner. My recommendation is DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY! Will not be back read more

Moved here a few months ago and have been actively trying to find a good Chinese food place- tried Hong Kong for the first time yesterday- reviews amongst the family including myself were great!! All food was fresh and tasty, those with spice had a nice but not overwhelming kick and vegetables were cooked nicely. Pan fried dumpling appetizer was nice and crispy. Menu is quite expansive and look forward to trying many other dishes! Looking forward to our next meal read more

Ordered food for take out tonight and our chicken was COMPLETELY uncooked. Hoping my family does not get food poisoning as we noticed a couple pieces in. Very disappointed and disgusted. read more

Even though we have enjoyed Hong Kong 1 take out a number of times before, tonight's dinner was an exceptional disappointment. We ordered Kung Pao chicken, veggie moo shu, pork dumplings, and egg drop soup. The Kung Pao chicken was mostly peanuts and veggies and the small pieces of "chicken" in the dish were questionable at best. The moo shu was fine itself, but the order was not complete since the sauce and pancakes were never added to the bag. This makes the moo shu less appetizing. Although the egg drop soup and dumplings were good, they were overshadowed by the disappointment of the moo shu and Kung Pao. I think the disappointment was compounded by the previously great experiences. We had such high hopes and they were not met. Unfortunately, we will most likely not be ordering from Hong Kong 1 again. read more

Order plain white rice and it was horrible. It was mushy like baby food. I'm assuming it was over cooked.

Hands down the best General Tso's Chicken in the area. Ask for "spicy" and you won't regret it. Owners are super friendly and the service is quick! read more
