If you are not familiar with what certain things are, have no fear, the menu and tvs in the restaurant have pictures of EVERYTHING. It looks like a little mom and pop shop and feels like it as well. We got the Shrimp Spring Rolls, chicken dumplings, ABC Chicken, green beans, Combination Chow mein, and coconut roll. Everything was really good and our servers were very kind. We ordered with the mindset of having leftovers, which we did, but could help but eat the entire ABC Chicken entree . If you are a green bean fan, theirs are a must. The spring rolls and dumplings didn't stand a chance either lol. The combination chow mein was very good as well. The coconut roll was a perfect super light dessert for my wife and I. Just to give you an idea of price, the meal plus 2 sodas was around $70. A little pricy, but the quality made it worth it. And it would be cheaper if we stuck to the Dim Sum menu.

We have tried quite a few dishes and so far all were packed with a lot of flavor!! The egg rolls - super crispy, fried right and delicious. The salt and pepper fish - this one is by far my favorite dish out of all. They had a wonderful crispy coating and were tossed with fresh peppers and the right amount of seasoning. The treasures chicken, beef and shrimp hot pot was hearty and so comforting with tender meat and tasty broth. The Mongolian beef, chicken, and shrimp - was really well-made as well with tender pieces of meat and savory sauce and all these three dishes above married well with the hot, steamed rice that they served with it. I also tried the seafood noodle dish with the white sauce, which had shrimp, fish, mushroom, vegetable noodles, and egg.This one was pretty unique and one of the highlights. It was gooey chewy and all the ingredients tasted well together in a light savory white sauce. This particular one was so comforting that I kept going back to this one for another bite. I love that this restaurant has a lot more dishes to offer and that their portion sizes are huge. The pricing is very reasonable as per the portions with most of the entrees in the range of $16 - $18 with seafood costing a little more. The service has always been very friendly but be sure to dine in way before closing time or the staff might tell you to take a to-go 30-45 mins before closing. Otherwise the restaurant has a very casual relaxed feel to enjoy with family and friends. I still have so much left to try but based on everything I've had so far I definitely recommend Hong Kong star to all Chinese food lovers!!

The general tso chicken was soggy and didn't have any crispness to its outside layer. The broccoli was also limp and lifeless and didn't have any of the flavor from the sauce or the chicken. The rice had very little vegetables and tasted like burnt soy-sauce. The best part of the experience was the egg drop soup and egg rolls. Those had a great flavor and the egg drop soup was a surprise because most of the restaurants here have a horrible smell to their soup and flavor, like it has soured.
