Not good! I tried the General Tso’s lunch special and the chicken was mostly hard around the edges. The sauce was decent the fried rice seemed burnt. I also ordered a shrimp spring roll and it would have been great had it had more that only 1 baby shrimp piece in it. The location is kinda sketchy. When walking into the restaurant I thought I had the wrong place because it looks like they threw only a few chairs and tables in around their children’s play area. It didn’t even appear to be open. Won’t be trying again.

Ok, Hong Kong came highly recommended by friends and honestly wasn’t the worst Chinese I’ve ever had, but I’m picky and I’ve had much better. I think our quest for good Chinese in our new area will continue. We popped in on a rainy Saturday afternoon to grab takeout and were the only people in the restaurant. There are a few booths scattered about, but nobody was eating at them(this was around 4PM). One table, very oddly, had a big bin of raw peas just sitting out on it. Kind of questions how sanitary that was. Then, they have toys and stuff scattered around for their children who apparently hang out at the restaurant while they work. As for food, it was a little bit pricier than the place we used to go in Avon, but had a nice selection. We ordered the sweet and sour chicken, beef in garlic sauce, house special fried rice and fried wanton. The only dish that really seemed solid was the fried rice, which in fairness was really good. The sweet and sour chicken was well breaded and the chicken tasty, but they lost it at the sweet and sour sauce. Overly sweet and almost tasted like a jelly. The beef in garlic sauce was ok, but the sauce was kind of a weird gelatinous texture and didn’t have much flavor. Plenty of beef, but virtually no variety in the veggies in it. As for the wanton… wtf? They were tiny, probably the size of a golf ball. And they were burned to a crisp. Yuck! Yeah, not thinking we’ll be back anytime soon.

We come here every so often for lunch because it’s near the office. I’m not sure if something has changed in management, but everything was so very good. The shrimp roll was hot, fresh, crispy, and not at all greasy. The white rice was was perfectly steamed. The Szechwan beef had a little spice, but not too much, and the flavor was a very beefy, brothy flavor with a good amount of beef ratio to vegetables. We were very happy with lunch and will be back sooner than later. We usually pick up, but they do have tables for dine in.

I may have found a close runner up to my grandmothers chicken and snow peas dish. The food here is so fresh. Several choices for take out. I usually have to get an order of fried biscuits(donuts) when I place an order. They are good to eat before the meal when they are still piping hot. I have tried several of the dishes mostly chicken or beef, but so far I haven’t had a bad meal yet. Reasonably priced and offer two sizes of entrée’s. Service is fast and the staff is pleasant too.

Despite the name, it’s not a buffet. Pretty middle of the road Chinese fare. Their egg rolls though, are excellent. I have gotten delivery from there and dined in. Fast, efficient service on both fronts.

The absolute worst Chinese food I’ve had in 35 years of existance. The crabless ragoons are air pockets of dough. Ordered 2& got 3 because they know a teaspoon of filling is bull sh*t. Orange chicken was edible & the smallest portion I’ve ever received. The room was filthy & they should be glad I didn’t eat there. Fool me once.

This place is okay. Typical, slightly more expensive than usual, fast Chinese Take-Out fare. I’ve never had most of the problems listed on this site other than some of the dishes tend to taste«same-ish» even though supposedly completely different. Their delivery has always been accurate and speedy. My body sometimes fights me after eating here too. :’( But for downtown it’s probably the best option I’ve found for fast-food Chinese. If you can drive, it’s worth driving to China Garden way south(in Southern Plaza) and take it home — it’s probably 10% cheaper and 1⁄3 better!

decent Chinese delivery, although the ordering process can be painfully slow. always arrives before they say, which is great!

I think they have new owners? The rice has gotten significantly better and is no longer radioactive yellow. My go-to order is chicken and mushrooms, which I don’t think is even on The menu but they will make it. I also like the lo mein. My boyfriend favours the curry tofu rice which is VERYSPICY be warned!!! He also likes the sweet and sour chicken, the beeading is very crispy and satisfying. They also have little coupons on the menu, and they will give you a soda if you buy 10 dollars worth of food, or free crab Rangoon if you spend 20 dollars, which is a nice side to split. Their lunch specials are a great value, that’s what I would suggest. The food is out fast and you might even have leftovers since the portion size is generous. I wouldn’t take a date here, but it’s a great place if you’re not feeling like cooking and craving MSG, or you want to grab a cheap meal with a friend.

Firstly this place is not a buffet. It’s kinda funny they don’t change the sign. Building is pretty dirty and old and you can tell 90% of their business is carry out as there is like no atmosphere in the restaurant but this part of town you’re very limited to where to eat. For greasy Chinese food it ain’t bad, lunch is super reasonable and is like $ 6 – 7 for a good amount of food. Worth a shot if you’re in the area.

Every once in a while, all I want to eat is some nice, greasy Chinese takeout. I live just a few blocks away from this place, and they are always very fast. By the time I call them, get in my car and drive there, it’s already ready. My staple is usually the Sesame chicken dinner, but the rest of their stuff is OK, too. They use a little too much sauce on everything for my taste, but it’s usually pretty good. The fried rice is the best. I’m still not too sure about the pork rolls. They taste OK, but they just look a little terrifying with chunks of red somethings in them… I’m always pleased with my experience there, and you get a ton of food for very little money. But, I have to admit, that I always feel like absolute crap after eating it and end up regretting my choice. So, not the best Chinese takeout, but it satisfies my monthly craving for extremely unhealthy/greasy food.

Note: I can’t say anything about delivery, since we only pick up takeout or dine in. This is definitely the best hole in the wall Chinese place downtown. They’re open late AND deliver. The prices are good and the food is always fresh. If you spend $ 20, they’ll throw in a free order of crab rangoon. It’s nothing fancy, but that’s not why you would go to a Chinese takeout place anyway. The spicy orange sauce they put on chicken, beef, and tofu dishes is amazing and has real orange peel in it, I really recommend trying it. They also have a really wide selection of vegetarian and vegan options and you can request 1 cup of vegetables for $ 1 or 2 cups of vegetables for $ 2 to any dish.

I’ve had this take out in the past & it was better. Extremely fast delivery quoted 40 minutes and took about 20. I prefer China King. Also, fast but I think a bit better quality.

If you are going to order Chinese delivery in downtown do so from this place. By far the best chinese delivery you are going to find in downtown indianapolis. Couple of tips. If you place an order over $ 20 they will throw in a free order of Crab Rangoon. Grab an order of dumplings. I always get the fried ones but I’m sure the steamed are good as well. I recommend the Mu Shu as well so tasty but maybe you should order some extra pancakes b/c 4 really isn’t enough. I am not going to say this is the best Chinese food I’ve ever had but it’s the best you can get delivered.

Good food. Good service. Your typical Chinese buffet style food. Will definitely visit in the future.

After a not-so-great experience with China King, I decided to try a new Chinese place. I was super impressed by the customer service at Hong Kong China Buffet. The woman who took my call was incredibly friendly, patient, and helpful. She walked me through several options for dishes with tofu and was very nice when I realized I didn’t have my credit card on me(she remembered my order when I called back a few minutes later). The General Tsao’s Chicken wasn’t the best I’ve ever had, but it was decent. I did, however, really like the Hot and Sour Soup here. Plus, my delivery order included a free crab rangoon! Not sure if that’s standard, but I thought it was a nice touch. Toss in the fact that delivery was super quick, and I was a happy customer!

I ain’t proud. Sometimes I just want Chinese food and I want it delivered. Hong Kong fits the bill. It’s not the best but it certainly isn’t the worst in Indy. Hot and sour soup is edible; the crab rangoon are crispy; the shrimp with chili(my last order) had about 5x more times onion than shrimp. But, after being in the car for 3+ hours, I wasn’t about to cook and gladly slurped down the food we received.

Horrible I have ordered delivery a couple of times before and it was just ok. This past time I ordered, about two days ago, I had the General Tsos with Shrimp. Ended up being a goop of whatever slime the shrimp and veg was cooked in(literally slime that drooped from my fork) with minced chicken rolled into balls(not any tangible piece of chicken) AND I found a small chicken bone. Which is odd, as there was hardly any meat. I will not order from here again, nor will I ever recommend it to anyone.

Today I called in and made an ordered Chicken and Broccoli Combo and Fried Dumplings, the same thing I always order. After waiting what seems to be an exceptionally long time my food finally arrived. Hungrily, I opened my package only to see something other than what I ordered. I had no idea what it was at first but it was spicy and I wanted what I ordered, so I called back. After waiting for 10 minutes on hold, they finally picked back up and I again told them my issue. She asked for my address to look up my info and then asks me again what the problem is. I repeat my issue again and she tells me that’s what I ordered. So I go back to say no, I ordered Chicken with Broccoli not Spicy Garlic Broccoli or whatever this is. She then proceeds to argue with me about how that is what I ordered. She keeps repeating it over and over like it was going to make me back down and change my mind. Why would I order something that I don’t like? After about 2 minutes of this back and forth, I again tell her what I ordered and that my roommate had been sitting there during the call and had heard the whole thing. After this she finally compiled and agreed to replace my meal and that I had to give them back the other food. Last I checked telling a customer they are wrong is not the way to go about getting business. Arguing with them about it is even worse. Because of them I will never order from them again, I’d rather drive and go get better food or order from the other mediocre place anyways. Besides, they probably turned around and gave my food to someone else anyways. We used to order from them about once a week but as of today we never will again.

Great chinese, near downtown. Clean. Some heat in the Hunan. Fast. I still find it funny that the name says«Buffet» and they cook to order — no buffet line. I prefer cooked to order. Certainly low on atmosphere, with grey carpet, grey formica tables, and lots of empty space in the dining room. Aside from the owners and a few random chinese calendars, there is little to distinguish this from an empty loft. That said, i eat here fairly often, and find the food good and fresh, which is why I rate this so highly.
