Food was so much better this time around than the last time I had been there. They really must've had a bad night when I had gone previously. Small restaurant in the of a little strip mall off of Main Street. They serve classic Chinese American food and unlike most places in the Bay Area that are family style dishes preferably on a Lazy Susan during dinner time. They offer rice plates, or combo plates for individuals, similar to lunch specials. I selected several dishes and asked the server which was the most popular amongst the dishes I chose, and she let me know the salt and pepper fish, which I got with chow mein. We also ordered shrimp & broccoli, and sweet-and-sour pork. Everything appeared made to order and looked very fresh. From grandma to the babes everyone was happy with their food. Mine was more on the plain Jane with just fried fish, luckily it came with sliced jalapeños to give it a kick. Next time I'll order a spicy eggplant dish. This is a good place to go to if you're with a group of picky eaters. Price is very reasonable, especially for dinner.

I got an order of salt and pepper fish; the fish was cooked to perfection, it was flaky and glistening. Although, I did find myself wishing there was more salt, and pepper flavor. I also order broccoli beef, the broccoli was probably the best cooked I've ever had from any restaurant. Still a beautiful bright green with a slight crunch, and the beef was perfectly tender. Overall, I really appreciated how well everything was cooked, although it all came across as a little too "clean" tasting for my preferences. I love greasy, MSG-laden Chinese food. But I won't dock any points based on my personal tastes, especially considering the excellent cook on everything. If you're a normal person not veering down the path of needing to control your high blood pressure due to an overly sodium saturated diet, I would definitely recommend Hong Kong Restaurant just based on the level of cookery they showcased with my order.

My mom got the won ton soup and general chicken and my dad got the combination h plate which is fried rice, chow mein and Kung pao chicken. You can even ask for it mild spiced. You must try Lee's homemade chili oil. Beside great food the service is outstanding. When I called in my order and told her my name she was like "oh you have ordered before". If you haven't tried Lee's you are missing out.

In general I don't like when places use the word restaurant in their name when they are to-go only…read more While it's something that I might take into consideration, the food alone is enough to make this rating a sub 4. For me this place is a 3/5. I ordered the general chicken and orange chicken. They said it would be ready in 15 minutes. I came maybe about 10 min later. Got the food and tasted it soon after I got to my car. Orange chicken lacking in that orange pop. General chicken lacking in overall flavor. What was the most unforgivable though was the soggy chicken. Eating at its optimal level would be eating it fresh at the table at the restaurant. Next best thing would be in the car as soon as you got it. But it's a to-go restaurant to realistically your eating it at home after it's traveled for however many minutes. As expected when I got home it was soggy. But it was already as soggy as possible to begin with. Why is this place a 4/5 I have no idea. Maybe since I came during off peak hours so they foods just sitting around and there's no fresh food turnover? No idea. Maybe I'll give them another chance one day but who knows. Also factor in that they don't have rice plates and the cost of pure entrees alone and that's a negative for me. I didn't know how lacking Chinese food was in Manteca because I was spoiled by the old Kitty's Kitchen. Nothing compares in the area.

Your taste buds as well as your brain will get a instant hit from the horseradish will make tears come and open all your sinuses. This is a proper Chinese restaurant, they start you off with a soup of some kind, this time they had a hot and sour soup for starters before your meal. I went for the beef stew chow fun wet. One of these days I will need to try their dry version. This will be a good stand by Chinese restaurant, their menu items are not that extensive but I wished they have bitter melon but most people are not apt to order it. It's too bad because I love this vegetable.

The restaurant is in a little old school strip mall, supperrrr tiny but don't let that deceive you. Inside was packed and there was a line outside too. Ordered to-go and they said 20 mins but it was more like almost 30-40 min. Truly worth the wait though. Will definitely be coming back to this spot! Also, got a peek in the kitchen and the cooks looked authentic and Thai? That's why it's so yummy! lol.

I thought the food would be the same as some other Thai mall food. We ordered Pad Kee Mao and Noodle Soup and surprisingly both dishes were great if not better than some of the thai places that we've tried in the southbay. This is now our favorite place and we look forward to coming here again in the future to try more dishes.
