Hong Kong Express

Go to DC, they think because there is no carry out near Fort Washington they can rip you off. They charge an extra $ 1 to put on mamba sauce on wings or they give you one container for 1 wing for 5 wings and fries man I’m out, cancel my order! Headed to DC anyway! Rip off place!!!

I’ve been a loyal customer for over 10 years. This is the second time the staff was very rude to us. On occasion, they have not given me my egg roll with my combination. Because I am a regular customer, it has never been a problem in the past getting it on my next visit. Today, the new cashier first ignored me when I told him it was missing in my last order. When the food arrived and the extra egg roll was not there, he begin to lecture me as if I was trying to take him for a $ 1.25 egg roll. Even when I explained in the 10 years I have been coming here, I’ve never had a problem with getting it on my next visit. He finally conceded the egg roll, but his attitude never changed. He honestly thought I was trying to take him. This was a very insulting transaction. No worries though, it won’t happen again. I do not spend my money where it is not wanted or appreciated. Tonight was my last visit. I hope everyone else who was insulted by this clown never return as well.

The food here is ok, the portion sizes are ok. I find most of the food I have eaten here on the bland dude, little salt/​pepper would do wonders, the wings are great, the mumbo sauce is just another sweet and sour sauce, needs alittle heat!!!, it’s a great place for quick carry out!

I love the food here! It’s one of the best Asian take out places in Ft. Washington! My favorite is the lomein house special. Portions are large and ingredients always are fresh!

Please do NOT EAT HERE. I just found a large winged bug COOKED INTO MY FOOD. I’ve never been here before, and will never go here again. I cannot believe this just happened. This was no small bug that came off an improperly washed veggie, this was a large bug that had clearly made it into the food before or during cooking. It was covered in sauce and intertwined with the other pieces of food. DISGUSTING!!! I’m reporting this place to the health department. Please please PLEASE do not eat there!

Love Hong Kong express because of their quick service and great food. The main reason I gave them four stars is because (1) they don’t have delivery and (2) the cold-​faced lady taking orders has no customer service skills whatsoever… The food makes up for the lack of smile and expression she has though.

Racist staff! I left a comment about the staff last year but the rude behavior is over the top. It is clear they do not like people who aren’t asian. I will not pay good money for rude behavior. They act as though they are doing you a favor. Go to Asian Star instead

Good Chinese food. I love the Kung pow beef. I would rank this place much higher but with no delivery I can’t

Used to eat here often until I brought my food back from home because the sauce was wrong expecting them to fix me a fresh batch & they dumped my food into a pan with fresh food and added the right sauce. I know that I didn’t tamper with the food, but who knows what the next person might do.

I went here because I was on lunch break, needed to grab something and felt like Chinese. I should have done Wendy’s.
I ordered some pan-​fried dumplings and roast pork chow mein. I got back to the office with my takeout and my excitement over having a hot lunch quickly soured into disappointment. So the dumplings were passable. A bit too doughy and not very seasoned. Also the requisite dipping sauce had a odd funk to it. The chow mein was a total failure. Now maybe I’m not versed enough in Chinese food, but when I think of chow mein, it is a pile of noodles, sometimes crispy, sometimes soft, with veggies protein and savory sauce piled on. Hong Kong Express’s preparation was a soup like concoction of shredded cabbage with some dried out roast pork and a dull bland sauce. What about the noodles? Well, there was a little packet of dry fried noodles smaller than a bag of deli potato chips (see my picture for this business). I was confused and a little angry. I was expecting a nice noodly lunch and got this instead. Perhaps I’m missing something here. However, the veggie/​pork mix was pretty awful in its own right, so some real noodles would not have saved it from the trash can.

I grew up here and go out of my way to get Chinese food from here. They have the BEST flavorful, original recipe, mumbo sauce hands down. I can NOT stand that orange mess everyone else has. The food and service is always consistently good with stable prices.

Disgusting! The nastiest carryout I’ve even been in and I could see the cook wiping his nose with his hands. I walked out and I’ll NEVER eat here again.

I live in fort Washington so take out is a must when the day is long and I am not up to cooking. This place used to be the grease spoon of the four chinese places in the area. I think they have changed management and cook staff… The food is sooo much better, they don’t forget things (big pet peeve) and they are quick even on a weekend night. I love the dumplings, hot n sour soup, and most of all. Mongolian beef. Yum. The only other place I’ll go is top china a street light away.

If you like dry, favorless food then, this is your place. The restaurant just looks unclean. I’ve lived in this area for 16 years tried this place once even twice and that was enough for me. It’s sad that I always have to travel to Alexandria to get a decent meal because there’s not one decent restaurant in this area

I have grown up eating at Hong Kong and they have THE BEST egg rolls in the DMV! Hands down! Food is always hot and fresh!

Would have given this place 4 stars…
I use to come here all the time and order Shrimp Fried Rice with no onions (I hate onions) but now they claim that can’t make General Tso’s Chicken with Fried Rice without onions. How hard is it to make fried rice and omit the onions? Won’t be coming back here anymore

Best hot and sour soup anywhere! Loved the tender cooked pork, mushrooms, fresh tofu, and bamboo shoots in it and the perfect balance of salt, sweet, sour, unami, and heat. The cook knew how to make this soup singshould.

Review is price/​taste based. Their lunch specials are great I’ve had a bunch General Tso’s, Shrimp with veggies, and spare ribs. All yummy.

This is just about the only carry out I get my chinese food from. I can not find mumbo sauce like this anywhere! They make my food how I ask for it, and that is a plus for me.

I’m not really big on eating Chinese carry out food, but Hong Kong Express is the exception. I actually have the phone number on speed dial. They’re great when I get off work late and have that long drive home down rte 210. I hit the speed dial and «Hong Kong may I hep you?» (and no, I didn’t miss-​spell help, that’s how she says it) By the time I get there, my food is beautifully packaged and ready to go.
What I usually order:
Peking duck. Not a lot of places offer this, let alone for take out. Marinated and roasted and comes with hoisin sauce, slivered green onions, and Chinese style «tortilla» wraps. The skin is the best part. Nom nom nom!
Flied Chicken wings with mumbo sauce and flied lice. (I didn’t miss-​spell that either)
Mongolian beef. It’s always so tender and perfectly cooked here.
Moo shoo pork. Tender pork and cabbage in moo shoo sauce with wraps. You make little burritos and nom nom nom!
Shrimp stir fry. You have to tell them «shrimp with vegetables» or you’ll end up with deep fried shrimps.
Another plus is that they’re open late. I’m never disappointed here.
