Chow mein, beef and broccoli plus fried rice and orange chicken

Already started eating when I thought of Yelp. Got dinner here tonight. Very good food. Extremely clean location. Will be back. Orange chicken, beef and broccoli plus fried rice and chow mein. All very yummy.

Char siu, fried rice, shrimp

They changed their team, food under the new team is awesome! They have really solid char siu which is easy my favorite. Approved by authentic Chinese Northerner(me)

You get a huge plate of great tasting food for a low cost. I loved the vegan options that they had available. A huge plate came to $10 that I shared with my son. A homeless woman came in & I bought her a meal. The staff even let her stay inside and eat the food I got. They had amazing staff and I am very happy that I was able to have such a great meal. I highly recommend

Best sushi I've ever eaten. The staff is super friendly and welcoming. 10/10

So welcoming, delicious and affordable food. Everytime I'm hungry I think of this place !

2 item combination (broccoli beef and orange chicken) with half chow mein and half fried rice

Food is overly greasy and does not have a good flavor. Prices are cheap but not when you throw half of it away.

Wow! By far best Chinese to go spot I have ever tried. Sadly, the owner said she's going out of…read morebusiness next week. Not enough profit to stay open. The food is incredible and so fresh. High quality food made to order-- she was so sweet and kind. I felt so bad not being able to help keep her open. But I hope this review will inspire her to maybe open a mobile unit and cater as a vendor. For weddings, birthdays, even memorial services sometimes have food. This spot would have been my go to! She travels everyday from LA just to open her restaurant. What a commitment and so sad to know it won't be here for much longer. Upon entering the location was nice with ample parking in front they had plenty of seating to dine in or you can order to go. It was clean and comfortable to stay, regardless it was a nice little spot. I hope anyone reading this can help support her before she goes or does one of those viral videos that help blow her up one last time!

Pretty good spot. Kinda like your neighborhood panda express…read more.. Basically it's 1/2/3 viands... They do pack your meal up. I picked the 3 viands and got the orange chicken, broc beef and some chopsuey. They serve it with half noodles and half fried rice. I was lucky since i arrived and everything were freshly made. The uncle was nice and the service was good. The inside was like any fast food joint. It's basically an eat and run place but it would be better to just go for takeout. Also pay with cash. It's cheaper. Also.... Also, they sell trays.... so you could get some for your party. :)

I absolutely love Hong Kong Restaurant. I've been coming here since I was a kid with my parents --…read moreand my parents have been coming since they were kids, too. It's truly generational for our family. This place holds so many memories and such a special place in my heart. It's part of the heart of Corona. The service is always warm and welcoming. The ambiance has that classic charm with old-school booths and beautiful brick architecture -- which makes it even more meaningful to me because my grandpa actually helped put some of that brickwork in when he was alive and working in construction. And the food... so, so good. Especially on a cold, rainy day -- their soup hits every time. If you're local and haven't been, this is your sign to go support a hometown staple.

I came in for dinner tonight and the food was amazing. However, the service was very disappointing…read more When I placed my order, I originally selected three entrées but decided to cancel one and replace it with a different dish. It took about 40 minutes just to get our drinks and have our order taken, and then another 50 minutes for the food to arrive. I politely asked several times when our food would be coming out. The restaurant was not very busy and there were several open tables, so I wasn't sure what the delay was. After waiting an additional 15 minutes, one dish came out, and a few minutes later the rest of the order arrived. Unfortunately, the server also brought the entrée I had clearly canceled when placing the order. I explained that I had canceled it, but she insisted that my mother had ordered it. I calmly told her that I was the only one who spoke and placed the order--my mother hadn't even asked for anything. She continued insisting that we keep the dish because it was already made. When I politely declined, she pointed at my mother and said she had ordered it. My mother responded that she hadn't even spoken. At that point, the server raised her voice and became aggressive, saying we had ordered it and had to keep it. Her attitude shifted completely from polite to confrontational. We remained calm and did not escalate the situation. Eventually, when she realized we weren't going to argue or cause a scene, she took the dish back and walked away. That reaction was completely uncalled for. Additionally, I observed something else that was concerning. A group of African Americans and Hispanic men came in, and there were about four tables open at the time. They were told they had to wait 40-50 minutes to be seated, while other guests who came in after them were seated right away. From what I witnessed, it felt discriminatory based on how they were dressed. That was very uncomfortable to see. At the end of the day, this is a business. We can't pick and choose who gets service. Everyone deserves to be treated with respect. This is my personal experience and observation. I won't take away from the fact that the food was delicious, but the customer service was awful and the delays were absurd. If a restaurant is busy and the food is this good, there should be enough staff scheduled to provide proper service. Because of the service experience, I will not be returning.

Cold day? PHO! Have a cold? PHO!…read moreI'm a pho connoisseur. I love looking for the best broth flavors- not too much cumin, hearty but not salty. They nail it here. We keep coming back. Service is pretty quick and you order at the counter. The space itself isn't very large but they usually always have seating available.

After taking my dogs to the doggy park nearby, I decided to grab some vietnamese food. The area is…read morenostalgic to me because I used live here but I dont remember eating here much. However, I recently read their reviews and laughed that they give straight peanut butter as a dipping sauce for their spring rolls. That is a big no-no. Anywho, I was going to do takeout and drive home to eat because I had my dogs with me, but after I ordered I saw there was a table outside so I decided to stay. I ordered their salmon special with garlic noodles, spring rolls, and a vietnamese coffee. Total was $33 and I was able to split the portions for lunch and dinner. When I entered I did not speak vietnamese and neither was the employee in the front aware I was viet. After I paid and didn't leave a tip, she said something in vietnamese about either giving me a smaller portion because I didn't leave a tip or just complaining about not receiving a tip. Once I got my food and said thank you in vietnamese, the employee in the front got real quiet. Lmao I sat outside with the fur babies and enjoyed my salmon. It was flavorful but noodles were kind of dry. The spring rolls came in 2. They add avocado, tofu, and jicima in addition to other ingredients. This isn't your traditional spring roll. I can also confirm that dipping sauce is straight peanut butter with not even enough water mixed in to make the texture smooth. Its like getting a cup of peanut butter that is watery on the top and dry and chunky from the middle down. A sauce like this will not be acceptable in the vietnamese community down in Bolsa. Haha! The coffee was also only okay, didn't finish it. I dont think I would drive out of my way to eat here.
