I even double-checked my receipt to make sure I wasn't mistaken--and it did list what I ordered. I could spot the curry leaves in the Chicken 65 (one of the main ingredients that usually sets it apart), but flavor-wise, both dishes were essentially the same. That said, I wouldn't fault the restaurant for the spice level itself--medium spicy can vary from person to person. Next time, I'll definitely go for the spicy level instead. I also ordered the Kheer (rice pudding dessert). One thing I've learned about kheer is that every restaurant has its own twist, and I really appreciate Sitar's version. The key things I look for are the texture of the rice and the creaminess of the sauce--and thankfully, Sitar nailed both. It was balanced, smooth, and comforting.

I looked up a few spots on Yelp and decided upon Hong Kong Express. The lunch special prices is honestly what sealed the deal for me! I saw a broccoli special with your choice of meat (I chose shrimp, more on this later!). It comes with white rice or plain fried rice. The have other options such as beef or shrimp fried rice or Lo Mein noodles for about a dollar or two more. For something a bit different, I chose the noodles. The meal comes with your choice of soup or egg roll (I chose the egg roll for my meals). I also bought the egg foo young lunch special with pork fried rice. I wasn't sure what to expect, but I wasn't expecting to be as delighted as I was with my food! The egg foo young was very tasty & well seasoned. The gravy was verrry delicious and bought the whole meal together! The egg patty was flavorful and the pork fried rice was very good. The egg rolls were lightly fried with a delicate, crispy, crunch. Nothing extraordinary about them, but they still were pretty good! Now the super star of it ALL...the broccoli Lo Mein and shrimp! Now, notice I didn't say shrimp Lo Mein. I believe this is mainly a broccoli dish with your choice of meat and whatever kind of rice or noodles you prefer. The broccoli was perfectly chopped in bite sized pieces, which is an underrated pro. Some places put big stalks of broccoli in the dish, making it hard to enjoy, especially if the broccoli isn't cooked long enough. Hong Kong does it right! I chose plain noodles to not take away from the shrimp and broccoli. It was a great pairing. The SHRIMP!!! Omg. The shrimp were BIG, plump and delicious!!! They were fresh and had no fishy flavor. I enjoyed this dish soooo much, I'm willing to go back for it alone! It was that good. I didn't include a picture of the egg foo young, but if you've had it before, it looks like that, lol! But I had to include to broccoli dish with the shrimp because the presentation was pretty by itself. The restaurant is honestly unassuming and I would've passed it by if the visit wasn't intentional. It's not fancy looking from the outside, but the inside is nice and clean. The owners/workers are very polite. Prices weren't bad AT ALL! For two lunch specials and a can of soda, the price came up to $17 and change. As I waited for my food I saw patrons come in and out of the restaurant, which lead me to believe that I made the right decision. I'll be back, for sure! 5 stars.

Nice spot, service was great , and the food was amazing! If you come here please get an order of the wings. Slow cooked in a brine for two hours then fried crispy to perfection, and there's a crunch in every bite. I'm a huge fan of dry rubs and the Cajun here was amazing Bella's Sauce and Honey Bbq were also close favorites. Bacon Bourbon Brisket Mac is a must try and there's a good amount of meat and cheese there too. I didn't get to try the Lumpkins which are like little crab nuggets that a lot of people say are delicious. I will make a return back one day to try the Lumpkins and hope you check this place out.

Unfortunately, we didn't care for the flavor of the Peruvian chicken fried rice, and overall the experience wasn't enough for us to return. We hope the odor issue is resolved, as it made a big first impression.

We always enjoyed Mexicali Cantina in Frederick, so when that location closed, we started thinking…read moreabout the newer one in Hagerstown. I'm happy to say the food's as good or better, with good service in an interesting setting. On crowded Massey boulevard with its strip malls and chain restaurants, it takes a keen eye to pick out this spot (hint - look for the Hobby Lobby parking lot). Then get ready for some unusual decor - the last occupant, a seafood place, did a LOT of intense decorating, including ocean-blue floors and dock pilings. We've visited this location 3 or 4 times now, and the food's been fine, partly out of our sentiment for the gone Frederick location. It's not hard to find Latino cuisine around here, but Mexicali had some of our favorites, including the delicious chiles rellenos (here, fried battered chilis, stuffed with cheese). When we went last week, it seemed clear they'd recently stepped up the game a little - new dinnerware and maybe even larger portions, and just as tasty if not more so. As usual, the chips were crispy and good (though our basket was mostly fragments) and the house salsa is a treat, fresh and zippy but not too hot. I had my go-to Azteca combo, with that chile relleno, a pork tamal, and a chicken enchilada, along with Mexican rice (though no beans this time, for some reason). My wife chose her favorite shrimp fajitas, also with beans and rice, though maybe a little skimpy on the bell peppers this time. My classic margarita on the rocks was big and zesty. Our server was attentive and polite. The crowd was thin on this Saturday night, so there were plenty of staff on hand. In an area with tons of Latin food choices, we depend on the consistent flavor and service here. Bueno!
