Hong Kong Cafe

Can’t agree enough that this place used to be a 5 star Chinese restaurant. The owner is no longer their, but when I asked the girl at the counter (about a year ago) if the business was under new ownership she said no and that the owner was visiting family. Well she must have decided to stay because I still haven’t seen her. The food here is not very good anymore. We ordered the general tso’s chicken last week and it was just ok. The sauce was good but the chicken itself lacked flavor. The rice is a yellow curry tasting rice. More like a Puerto Rican inspired rice than chinese. We ended up just tossing it in the trash. My son said the lo mein is good. My son in law and daughter like this place, but I’m not visiting again.

This used to be one of our favorite Chinese restaurants to eat in this area! We have been eating there for about 10 years now. The service was good and the place was clean enough. The last few visits have not be the same. The food does not taste the same… especially the fried rice, which is now bright yellow… and is tasteless. The eggs rolls are very greasy now. The sudden decline in the food here has been a disappointment!

Great takeout Chinese place, not too much ambiance for dine in. Kids favorite Chinese place for movie night.

Food is always good here. not a real dine in place but the staff remembers who you are.

Perfect. Fast. Clean. Big serving sizes! Great chines restaurant! Highly recommended!

Unfriendly service. Average price. Below average cleanliness of store. Taste was not bad but not great. Food didn’t sit well either and I have a good stomach. I won’t be back and I recommend trying to find another place.

Popped into this nondescript hole-​in-​the-​wall (which, so happens, sits next door to the immensely popular La Parilla [Mexican restaurant]) because I was having hunger pangs for some straightforward, fast, Chinese. (Unfortunately, here in McDonough, we don’t have a Panda Express franchise — which always provides good-​tasting, Americanized, Chinese fast food — so I’ve always headed up to Stockbridge or Morrow to crave any Chinese cravings.) Upon entering, the stock décor wasn’t the most inviting — white-​tiled floors, peeling front counter (in a baby-​blue laminate, no less!), some cheap Asian wall «art,» cafeteria-​style tables and chairs (all seemingly pushed-​out towards the walls). Nonetheless, the food display looked great — of course, you know the type: great-​looking photos of various menu items, all of which makes the mouth water, but, for some reason, always seem to diminish in looks and quality when ordered. Naturally, the first thing I look for in any new restaurant that I go to is the health score: this one had a very good 90. (Hey, in McDonough, where health scores tend to be sub-​90 in many eating establishments, this was an unexpected surprise.) As is typical (or stereotypical) of many of these strip-​mall Chinese fast food joints, the person (s) behind the counter pretty much cuts any pleasantries and gets right down to taking your order in brisk manner. I ordered a two-​item lunch plate, that comes typically comes with fried rice (I ordered my plate with steamed race). My order: (1) Mongolian beef, and (2) Chicken broccoli. I then took a seat and waited to be called when my order was ready. As it turned out, in lickety-​split time, my order was brought to me. Like I said, there’s nothing fancy here: paper plates and plastic forks. My plate was piled high with fresh-​looking, aromatic, steaming delights! The Mongolian beef was very tender and flavorful, without any gristle whatsoever; lots of cooked white onions, along with green onions, as well. (Personally, I would’ve preferred more green than white, but what was served still tasted great.) The chicken broccoli, too, was perfectly cooked; tender morsels of white-​meat chicken, fresh and crunchy broccoli florets, and a flavorful Asian sauce. (A little more spice in the dishes would’ve suited my fire-​breathing-​dragon tastebuds; however, what was served was simply delicious in its own right!) All-​in-​all, I’ve found a Chinese fast food spot that I will definitely come back to again and again!!!

Well this place is better than the other Chinese place in this area [yeah i’m looking at you empire of china II] Got the General Tso’s Chicken & it was a bit too sweet for my tastes, this is more of a take your food to go type place rather than a full restaurant like Empire. My search for good Chinese hasn’t been satisfied with this place, My search continues…

I have to say that I am not a big fan of Chinese food and typically only eat it because I am tired of eating everything else in the near vicinity — so a three star rating is about as good as it is every going to get coming from me – and this place gets is!
I ate a pick-​up meal from here and it was great. I had hot and spicy chicken which was excellent. It had the right blend of vegetables and meat and the right amount of spice. I had plain fried rice instead of the white rice that came with it and that too was perfect. While eating, I also reached over and sampled some of my friends shrimp lo mein and that too, was good.
All in all this was a good experience and I would definitely dine again.

Vegetable tofu soup is great! Not too salty, not too few vegetables. Perfect balance of vegetables and broth. I also tried the spring rolls which were not too greasy and delicious as well.
If I’m ever in the area and need a good soup, this is the place to go. I will also mention that I love the picture of the cityscape on the wall.. .it really is quite nice.. .
I’m assuming it’s Hong Kong.
