It saddens me to make this review but I can no longer support Hong Kong. Their quality has dropped substantially in the last 5 years. I've been eating here for around 15 years and can no longer say they are the best Chinese in cville (look to Asian express or red lantern for this). Back in the day once on a blue moon you'd get some hard dry chicken in an entree and it just would be what it was because 90% of the time the food was fresh hot and good. Now it seems to be the norm to serve dry days old chicken in their entrees that basically sucks the moisture out of your mouth and stabs you while you try to eat it. Seriously so bad. Their dumplings and noodles are still fine but the main dishes with chicken has suffered severe declines in quality and every single time I eat here now it's bad. I am sorry Hong Kong - until you fix the issue with the chicken we can be bothered to waste our money here anymore. read more

We enjoyed vegetable mei fun ! Vegetables soup hearty ! General chows tofu antre delicious. Service excellent read more

I decided to grab dinner here at the last minute because it was a convenient location. My dinner was truly delicious. It was not too greasy, my chicken was cooked perfectly and, most surprisingly, the vegetables were so fresh and varied and absolutely perfectly cooked. There was zucchini, broccoli (chef's kiss excellent) mushroom, baby corn, snow peas, carrots, celery and I might have forgotten one or two. It was the best american-style chinese dinner I can remember. Clean, classically good cooking. The staff was very friendly and efficient too. I would say, as a note to new visitors, the dining area is like a cafe, nice and convenient, but nothing fancy. I highly recommend trying it. The food was great and I got two dinners from one entree at a really fair price. read more

I ordered vegetables with tofu. Tofu is over cooked. Sweet and sour soup is salty and Food is cold. Rating 3 read more

Beware of this restaurant. Questionable quality of food. If you must, then stick to just vegetables.

I stopped by for lunch at 1130 and 20 minutes later still no food. Having been here previously, this time around it was definitely not what I remember. Additionally, the air conditioning was not working and it was much cooler outside than in the restaurant. I would hope someone makes the necessary repairs so customers can eat in comfort. read more

A solid Chinese take out place, and in a town where your options are limited, that's something to say. I got mei fun with cha-siu pork, chicken with broccoli (with white sauce), and orange chicken, which are typically my go-tos at any take out restaurant. All of it was pretty delicious - fairly good portions and decent price too. I'd say my favorite was the mei fun, that I've had better chicken w/broccoli (but the white sauce was pretty yums), and the orange chicken- I could take it or leave it. I can easily see myself ordering from them again in the future. My ordering experience on the phone was pretty typical from a chinese restaurant - make sure to clarify your order several times to ensure you are in fact ordering what you want to. read more

I love the food from here and it's always taste great so that's a solid 5 stars but I've ordered from here a lot since my previous review and what knocks them down is the customer service. If one of the daughters is answering the phone or running the counter then great they're friendly. If the mother is she's just neutral. Not friendly except maybe a thank you and not rude but doesn't smile or seem to appreciate you coming to her family's business. This has been an ongoing thing so it like it just started. The food is still good but don't expect the mother to show you any gratitude. read more

When you bite into a shrimp roll and all you taste is grease, you know there is a problem. Second bite was even worse. Wonton soup okay--no complaints. Shrimp lo mein--no flavor at all. read more

Authentic family run Chinese restaurant with kids studying or running the cash register while parents are cooking and answering the phones. Ordered the Mu Shu pork - four large wrappers to fill with the flavorful Mu shu, pork Lo mien - thicker noodles than chow mien, string beans - stir fried and flavored with oyster sauce. Within walking distance of Lakeside apartments in the Southside Shopping Center. read more

So delicious! The only restaurant open during the snowstorm today. They also got our order completely right! Thank you so much for being open! We appreciate you! read more

Went in to order, rather than calling ahead of time, I had a very bad experience. Although, I had ordered many times previously and the food was good, this time was very different. As I was standing there waiting to order, no one came to help me at the counter to take my order. Then I asked the family at the table if they knew where everyone was and it turned out it was the owners and their family eating as I stood there waiting to order. The man got up from the table while grabbing his hat from the floor, ran his fingers through his hair to place his hat on his head and went immediately to start preparing my food order. Yes this is in fact what happened. I then spoke to him and said: "Sir, are you going to wash your hands?" He didn't understand me after a couple of times a woman stepped up, from here meal, and asked me what is wrong. I explained and she immediately raised her voice in talking to him and he left and washed his hands. DEFINITELY THE LAST MEAL I EVER HAD OR WILL HAVE THERE! read more

I recently moved to this side of town and discovered this Chinese food place. Actually it was girlfriend that suggested we try their BBQ chicken sticks when we were looking for a quick bite. Since then I have literally gone back for take out once to twice a week now for about 6 months. I'm sure they are sick of me by now. Only once was the meal sub par but I think that's because my expectations were set so high because of the awesome previous experiences. It was only that once so I'm not going to detract stars like some people on here that flip out on restaurants over spilt milk... literally... probably. Here are some of the things I get on a regular basis and love: Spring rolls - more salty than others I've had but that's not a negative comment. I like flavor. Fried Cream Cheese Wontons: my girlfriends favorite. They are crispy with a sweet cheese and crab mix inside. They are amazing just try them. BBQ chicken stick: basically street vendor chicken satay. They are not American BBQ flavored. More like char and teriyaki. MooShu Chicken: a long time staple of Chinese take out. The hoisen sauce was bangin but the chicken strips were lacking any flavor of their own. All combined with julienned veggies and sauce it's still delicious. Finally, sticky white rice. Hard to mess it up but a very important foundation for lots of Asian cuisine. I get a side every time. In conclusion, I've found their service to be prompt, slight language barrier notwithstanding. Ordering from their menu on "Beyond Menu" app I think results in less errors (on their part). All in all, cville has a sea of Chinese take outs and I think these folks really put in effort to make good food. And that's what it's all about. read more

Hong Kong Restaurant - a plate of rice, meat, and vegetables - Chinese Near Me - Charlottesville, Virginia

Delivery time is average, but service is great. The guy even came to the front of my dorm - as in, he /actually/ got out of the car to /actually/ deliver the food. Plus for that. Food is decent. The dinner/lunch specials come with good fried rice, as they put roast pork in it. Probably the best fried rice that comes with Chinese food in Charlottesville. I got the Sesame Chicken, which tasted fine. Nothing special. Egg Drop Soup was considerably less saltier than competitors, which I liked a lot. A whole quart for just $1.75! I needed it for free delivery, which was just a measly $10 minimum. TL;DR: Decent food, average delivery time, good service. I would come back. read more

Absolutely delicious! The food was great, I had the Tofo vegetables. My sister had Lo méin. The egg roll were great. The food was hot and cooked perfectly. The establishment was very clean and the service was quick and friendly. Overall a great experience. read more

We have ordered takeout there 3 times. They are always timely in preparing the order, every order has been correctly made and delicious. We love the lemon chicken, sesame chicken and beef, orange chicken, and the chinese donuts!!! So good! :) read more

The last day I went there were gnats in there. Thousands of them. There was no reason to thing they would not end up in my food. So I didn't order. read more

We are still in search of a decent Chinese takeout restaurant. My fiancé ordered General Tso and I ordered chicken and rice. Both were less and average. The rice was dry and so was the chicken. I do not recommend this restaurant. read more

Got the Singapore mei fun noodles and they were very delicious! Will definitely order from here again!

Decent exactly-what-an-American-expects-from-chinese-food chinese food. Bonus: they deliver.

These people are rude. My boyfriend ordered from them, it took two hours, and they hung up on him after refusing to refund the food even after we attempted to return it. Worst. Service. Ever. read more

While I have never been wowed by the food, it is a solid Chinese takeout place, and I've never had a negative experience. They also are fast and cheap. read more

Reading other reviews, its interesting what people will settle for. I just moved to an apartment complex near this restaurant, we wanted something quick and thought why not. We ordered for pick up as we were across town and could pick it up on our way home. The lady who took our order advised the food would be ready in 15 minutes. We got there in 10 minutes and the food was already bagged and ready to go. I thought that strange since she said 15 minutes and it only took us 10 minutes to get there. I like quick service but when it comes to food being cooked properly, I can wait. When we get home and take out the food, my suspicions were verified. The chicken was almost translucent it was so under cooked. And it wasn't just in my chicken low mein, it was also in my son's chicken fried rice and my nieces combination fried rice. We were hungry and we did not feel like going back to complain, so we picked around the chicken and ate the noodles and rice, which was relatively tasteless and the rice was crunchy. I am willing to drive a little father to get my Chinese food. read more

Not a place you want to eat in but awesome delivery and awesome food. I like it better than most of the other Chinese places in Charlottesville. General tso chicken is great as is the garlic chicken. As a matter of fact, everything I've had here has been very good. Serve fresh and hot. No steam tables. read more

Hair in food and they were RUDE about it! Don't waste your time. Give your money to someone who appreciates you!

Exactly what you hope for when it comes to American - Chinese food. Will be coming back the next time I need my Chinese fix in cville.

Don't place any online order here! I've been ordering food delivery through online system so many times and this restaurant gave me the worst experience! They didn't even know how to find an address! Really? I have received dozens of food deliveries/ mailing packages at my place, why didn't it work for your restaurant solely? At the end of our conversation, the waitress simply replied "we are not doing this delivery!" OMG. read more

As far as Chinese restaurants go in Charlottesville, this is one of the better options. The service is quick and friendly. The food is certainly Americanized Chinese food, but presumably that's what you're looking for if this is your dining choice. There are more fine dining options in town, but this restaurant provides consistently good dishes. read more

Best chinese food we've had in a long time. Staff is friendly, delivery is fast. The only improvement could be on the rangoon. Not enough filling which is too bad because I love crab rangoon. But we order from here all the time. Love it! read more

Incredibly good food for a nominal cost. Delivery was quick

I order delivery from them fairly often, and they are consistent in quality. I like the black pepper chicken and they have decent hot & sour soup. They are sometimes a little late with delivery but decent for the most part. read more

This is your basic carry out Chinese place. Six tables, one with Chinese youngster playing a video game, no air conditioning. There are 30 items on the lunch menu, which come with soup (or a can of pop), pork fried rice or white and generous lunch portion. I got hot and sour soup, which neither hot nor sour, but was chock full of veggies. Mom got the cashew chicken, which she said was good. I got chicken curry, and they graciously subbed tofu at my request. I should save curry for a Thai or Indian restaurant, my bad. Curry apparently meant copious amounts of turmeric and nothing else. I doused it with soy sauce and it was edible. This is an ok place if you don't mind zero ambiance and plastic forks. It would be great for take out. read more

We just ordered two PINT orders for take out. When I arrived they had bagged both orders as quarts and of course the extra cost. This was NOT A MISTAKE....they do this as a practice. I don't know which is worse...the PRICE GOUGING or the FOOD it self!! Avoid this rip-off joint!!! read more

My favorite Chinese delivery spot in Charlottesville. Usually very fast delivery and the food is very content in quality. Love the combination lo mein and cream cheese wontons, and am obsessed with the wonton egg drop soup. read more

I eat lunch and dinner here a couple times a week as I work over at PVCC. Best Chinese food in town in my opinion. Generous portions, and very inexpensive. I like things hot and spicy, and they make it that way if you ask. The dining room is no frills, they seem to do most of their business in takeout and delivery. I usually eat there though as I can't wait to dig in, and it is tough to eat Chinese food while driving home or back to work.... read more

This is absolutely amazing food, I come here every Thursday to get general tsal, it's never been anything but amazing. The only reason the review isn't 5 stars is because the fortune cookies are a new kind and the fortunes are horrendous... (My favorite part about Chinese restaurants) I've also heard from a friend that the vegetarian options are just as yummy. read more

Purchased the Sesame Chicken and General Tso's chicken and got physically ill for the next 24 hours.

DO NOT ORDER. Took two hours for our meal to arrive after we called twice and were told it would be arriving within minutes. We were on the phone with them when the food finally arrived- obviously they hadn't made the order when we called the first time. After a 15 minute phone call and plenty of yelling on their end, both towards me and between the translator, who apparently didn't even work for them, and the boss, who refused to give out either her name or her actual job title, the restaurant hung up on me, having refused to refund or comp the food even when I told them that we were more than happy for them to take it back. Extremely unhappy with their rude and unprofessional conduct. Would give 0 stars if possible. read more

I have eaten here several times and have always enjoyed it! The sweet and sour chicken was nice and fresh and the General Zao's was good as well. Friendly service. If you are looking for good chinese take-out, then you should try out this place! read more

Love this place! Never disappointed! Definitely one of my regular go-to places in Charlottesville. Great food- great price!
