New Hong Kong Wok

The food was decent and nothing out of the ordinary. Went with my wife and our adorable niece. It was our first time and we were celebrating the Chinese New Year’s Eve dinner. Just our luck we were served by this rude and impatience waitress. She’s around mid 20s or later. She looked stress and seems to hate her job. So rather than dealing with her personal issues on her own time, she takes it out on the customers. We ordered a half Peking duck with the dough wraps, fish maw soup, Chinese broccoli, salt and pepper squid. Literally, it was only going to be me and my wife eating most of the food. She kept insisting we get a whole duck rather than half. I had to refused her offer a few times before she gave up… grrr. When the food came out, she brought only the bbq duck but no dough or the rest of the garnishes that came with it… grrr. I asked her about it and she got frustrated and insisted that we should keep the bbq duck instead and not have the Peking duck wraps because it will take longer. How absurd is that! She didn’t apologized for her incompetence at remembering orders but she gets angry at us for not accepting her mistake. Anyway, long story short, we ate and left unsatisfied. Thanks for ruining our Chinese New Year’s Eve dinner. First and last time.

One of our family «go to» dinner places. The food is usually very flavorful, but can border on being over seasoned. Restaurant is very small and can be cramped when busy which is a lot of the time, filled with Chinese families. Goes to show that this is an authentic spot. Service can be hit or miss. Anyone expecting high end service will be sorely disappointed. However, if you’re looking at getting good to great Chinese food for a large family for less than $ 20 per person at dinner with plenty of leftovers to bring home, this is worth a try.

This is by far one of the most authentic Chinese restaurants in the entire Sacramento area. Don’t come here to order the cashew chicken or sweet-​and-​sour pork. It’s equivalent to going into a fine steakhouse and ordering a filet mignon, well done with ketchup. Here, I would recommend ordering the lobster sautéed with ginger sauce. Also, eggplant with fish served over a thin egg omelette prepared in a hot iron skillet. They have more tofu dishes then any place else I have seen. The restaurant is clean – even the bathrooms, surprising for a restaurant of this authenticity. The staff is also courteous and helpful, also surprising. I highly recommend this restaurant without reservation.

I am so glad I found this place. I have lived 90% of my life in the Bay Area and I have become quite accustomed to real, authentic, Chinese food. So when I came to the Sacramento area to live I began to look for some good Chinese food. Then I began to look for some mediocre Chinese food because I couldn’t find good Chinese food. When I couldn’t find even mediocre Chinese food not even «American» Chinese food I pretty much gave up.
Fortunately I became acquainted with a Vietnamese woman and we talked about where to get good Asian food in general and when I asked if she knew of a good Chinese restaurant she gave me the name of this one. It is as though they had teleported a good Bay Area Chinese restaurant to Sacramento. I knew that it was probably going to be pretty good when I walked in the first time since there were no other round eyes in the place except for myself. And it was lunch (and not a Friday or weekend) and yet still packed with people. Then I looked at the menu and noticed that the very first item listed was an appetizer for jellyfish. I knew then this place was going to be great.
The menu items reflect an incredible diversity of dishes that no other restaurant locally even comes close to. And although I haven’t even begun to dent the number of delicious sounding items, everything has been excellent.
The only reason I didn’t give it five stars is because the service is not terribly wonderful. On the other hand the service is very typical of all but the fanciest of Chinese restaurants (and even some of those) in the Bay Area. And unlike most other Chinese restaurants I’ve been to they don’t try to steer me away from the more exotic, non-​American/​Chinese food. If I want jellyfish I don’t think they will bat an eye.
So don’t go there if you’re looking for sweet-​and-​sour or egg rolls or fortune cookies. Just get a Tsing-​Tao to wash that jellyfish down with.

One of my favorite Chinese restaurants in Sacramento. A meal or takeout from here never disappoints. We always get the salted duck egg yolk covered mushrooms, which are salty, crunchy, and absolutely delicious. Their tofu cod clay pot has amazing flavor and juicy, tender tofu saturated with meat juice (that sounds disgusting, but trust me, it’s amazing). Their Hainanese chicken rice is also delicious. I don’t care much for the chicken but the rice is soaked with buttery meaty flavor.
One downside is that price has been increasing and I feel like the portion sizes have gone down. However, it’s still a decent deal and the deliciousness of the food still makes it worthwhile.
Unfortunately, the food is the only thing I like about this place. The service and environment are both quite mediocre. The waiters are impatient and at times rude and brash. They give off the impression that they don’t care about providing good service because this place is popular. But then again, most Chinese restaurants don’t have very good service so this isn’t a huge deal breaker. The restaurant is also quite tiny and has many tables so it feels cramped to dine there. We mostly just order and pick up when we have a craving for the food here.
All in all, the food is amazing but everything else is quite mediocre.

Love this place! The best authentic Asian food! You know its really good when you are the only non a
Asians in the restaurant. I am definitely coming back.

Food here is really good! You won’t be disappointed with this place. The only downside about this place is you need to be specific when you order your food cause some ingredients is not written in the menu and also the price and service fee.
So again, good food, check your menu and check twice.

My family has been coming here for pretty much all my life. The food is great and authentic. I love their wonton noodle soup and fried rice.
However, recently there had been a new waitress hired that could use some training in customer service. She is rude and gives attitude when asked any questions or for untentils, etc.

I would normally rate this place a 3 star, but after my experience last night, I have to dock a star off. I come here often with my family and the food is usually above average. The size of this restaurant is not big at all. So if it gets packed, be sure to have people waiting for a table to be hovering over you as they’re waiting and you’re eating.
So the reason I docked a star off was because of my experience last night, as I mentioned earlier. We ordered 4 side dishes, but 3 only came out. We were pretty much full and finished with our meal and the fourth (which was a plate of veggies) still hadn’t even came out yet. We asked the servers that were obviously stressed by how busy it was because you can see the rudeness just oozing out. I asked 3 different servers to check on the plate, and only one came back and told us they’re now making it. So obviously, they forgot about that damn order. Another 10 minutes or so pass and we decided to cancel it. I tell one server that we had an order that hadn’t come out and want to cancel it, and he doesn’t say anything and just walks away. Okay. Then he comes back with our check. What if we weren’t finishing our meal? Are you trying to rush us out? Oh, and as we are about to pay for our meal, that fourth dish FINALLY comes out. We told the owner, who brought it out, that we cancelled it and she just whisked it away. The food was not even that great last night. I understand it being busy, so I guess I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt regarding the food quality. But if you can’t handle a little rush of people coming eat your food and make it at least half way decent, I think you ought to reconsider whether you’re cut to be in the food industry.
Now on to the service! Now the service here was never good, let alone above average. It is a Chinese establishment, after all. But last night, was just straight crap. I saw and experienced the servers not acknowledging customers when asked a question and/​or they would walk right past someone when people were asking them a question. Also, I witnessed them act a tad bit hostile towards customers or people waiting for a seat or asking them questions. Totally uncalled for. Sadly, people will still come back regardless of how crappy the food or service is. As for me? No, thank you.

Love this place. My go to for Chinese food. I’ve never been disappointed with anything I’ve ordered here. Best deep fried tofu and salt and pepper pork chop. Try the crispy rice seafood soup too. Sooooo… yummy!!!

I love love this restaraunt!!! It’s my favorite chinese place to go to for authentic chinese food!!! I’ve tried a lot of stuff here and nothing seems to disappoint me. From the peking duck buns to their clay pot eggplant dish. Their ma po tofu is delish too. I’ve been coming here for years now i dont know why i havent written a review lol. Their service is subpar eeegh whatever but i dont care. They have great family dinner which is a set price ranging from $ 80 – 200 but dont let the price off set you it feeds a village. The portions are always decent they dont skimp. Hands down they have the best empress chicken in Sac. If youre looking for authentic come here you wont leave hungry or disappointed. The parking is limited so you might have to roll around looking for parking but its so worth it.

I’ve actually remembered for this Land Park restaurant near Oto’s Marketplace and Blue Moon Café several years ago. New Hong Kong Wok has all the HK and Chinese cuisines and entrées available, so you can feel and experience the Southeastern China’s dining right here at home. Last night on 9÷3÷2015, my parents, my sister, and her bf were planning to have an evening dinner here for family dining gatherings.
As we entered, the atmosphere is closely average despite of the small compactly of tables. There are two or three TVs there showing Hong Kong drama programs all day and all night. Additionally, they have cooked and roasted ducks, pork, and chickens there, so you can take it or dine in there too without prepping on your own!
The service is a hit-​n-​miss for me. The communications can be an issue for some because my parents are trying to ordered some Chinese food that they know the most. We did managed it successfully by speaking their foreign language (Cantonese; Chinese) including speaking in English too. I’m hoping they need to learn and make more approachable and communication improvements to the customers in the future.
Now onto the entrées! First up, is the Salt and Pepper Fried Prawns. So far, the shrimps are very good! The batter of the shrimp is very crispy and eatable as well as the seasoning too. A huge effort for this finest food!
The Mustard greens (which it’s looked like spinach in my opinion) tasted quite good. This entrée is well balanced, and cooked perfectly as I ate it.
The string beans with ground pork tasted OK for me. The downside: sodium intake of this entrée despite it might be added a little bit of MSG. Hopefully, it needs to reduced the sodium and MSG to make it balance the flavor. Otherwise, it’s a fine meal.
The soup which it’s made of pork or beef broth with beans, steamed, boiled pork, and carrots. So far, it also tasted OK.
The stir-​fry vegetables with fish is quite delicious. It tasted good, yet it also needs to reduce the salt and MSG too because it’s closely salty for me including my parents too.
Finally, the Beef Chow Fun, one of my sister’s BF’s favorite meal. So far, the chow fun tasted not that bad! The steak cooked excellent as well as the rest of the ingredients of this chow fun too! A superb entrée!
The parking can be a hassle to park, try to park at the strip mall where this place is. My best recommendations, park early before the dinner peek hours starts. Otherwise, you can ride a bike, walk, or use public transportation without the hassles.
To conclude, New Hong Kong Wok is a good, average Chinese restaurant in the Land Park neighborhood. Perfect for friends and family gatherings, or simply having a late night meal of yourself! A well worthy visit! My rating: 3 solid stars.

~ I got really sick from eating at this place because there was too much MSG on their food.
~ Menu list is not organized and they deliberately leave prices. The waitress kept checking with someone else with the price. The list is not in alpha order.
~Very pricey for a very, dirty building. I have ordered a onchoy stir fried and it was $ 12.95.
~ Flies were in the restaurant. I wouldn’t want to go back here.

Food:
— Won Ton Noodle Soup: this is my favorite place to get wonton soup. It comes with a pork and shrimp wontons, thin egg noodles, and Chinese broccoli. The wontons are huge and the broth is delicious! ⁵⁄₅
— Honey Walnut Shrimp: New Hong Kong Wok is usually spot on with their honey walnut shrimp but it was disappointing that day. The shrimps were not crunchy at all. The flavor was good but the crunch is what makes or break the dish. ³⁄₅
— Peking Spareribs: pork spareribs marinated in a sweet Peking sauce. The meat was tender and crispy. ⁴⁄₅
Service: Fair. ³⁄₅

Was here with my family for lunch. I arrived a bit late but it was better for me since my sisters ordered for the entire table and I did not have to wait as long! My sister got some of the family together to have lunch and celebrate her daughter’s birthday. At this location, they have a table that fits 20 people; however, we were not able to sit there even though we have 16! Reason was that they only give out that table if we had the full amount of people to seat the entire chair.
So instead, we were seated at two medium sized tables which was inconvenient because now we had to distribute the food evenly to allow everyone a chance to try all of the dishes that was ordered. If the restaurant was completely full, I would understand why they would not allow us to sit at the large table. But when there are plenty tables around, I don’t see why being short by 4 people shouldn’t be allowed to sit at the table for 20.
We had a variety of plates coming to the table. Among the ones ordered, I liked the peking spareribs the most. The sauce was generous and soaked every piece of meat. My least favorite was the roasted duck… It came with steamed buns which I wrapped the duck with like a taco. I felt the duck lacked flavor even after I drizzled the meat with some of the juices.
All of the other dishes were just okay. At one point, my sister tried to order more food but one of the server couldn’t understand our orders. She ended up returning with another server who then took our order. It would be nice if they trained all staffs to understand the menu, but it was not too big of a deal.
Parking here is the worse too! A lot of the neighbor stores have designated parking spots which gives you very limited space in front of this restaurant. Most times, you will be better off finding a spot out on the side of the streets.

My family always goes to a Chinese restaurant when we eat out for special occasions. We came here for Father’s Day. My aunt’s family was also joining us. They were running late, so after 30 minutes we put in our order. The food came out quickly, too quickly. We had to tell them to slow down, because the rest still haven’t arrived yet.
We ordered the set menu. Everything was good and flavorful. Out of everything, I would recommend the beef tenderloin with mixed mushrooms. The beef was indeed tender and I like mushrooms. For dessert, instead of fortune cookies, they served grass jelly with sugar syrup. It was refreshing.
A caveat is that parking sucks! The parking is shared by several businesses including Jade Fountain Café next door. We had to park in the neighborhood.

This place is always busy! I come here often with my boyfriend’s family. It’s their favorite restaurant. Personally, I wouldn’t come here on my own. I’ve had better Chinese food elsewhere.
The last time I came here was for my boyfriend’s graduation dinner. Good thing his mom made reservations because the place was PACKED, as usual! I guess she had ordered the family package, which included (sorry if I don’t know the names) red bean soup (appetizer), cold yellow chicken, roasted duck, crispy noodles with veggies, seafood chow fun, BBQ spare ribs, salted fish fried rice, and others that I don’t remember. It was A LOT of food! There was only 8 of us, and 2 of them were kids! I was full with just the soup and spare ribs! The food actually didn’t taste bad. A other times I came here, the food tasted kinda old. But this time, it seemed fresher. I do recommend the crispy noodles with gravy and veggies. That kinda grew on me.
I suggest you either make reservations or come super early, as it gets busy and full fast!!! The parking lot is a B**** to park in too! You most likely will need to park in the shady ass neighborhood. A few of the businesses next door have «reserved» spots for their clients. There are folding chairs that say, «Reserved for this business.» Dude, a foot massage place shouldn’t even HAVE reserved spots! Who goes to a shady place like that to get a foot massage?! Whatevs.
The service here is okay. Since they’re always busy, they don’t give you the kind of attention you would have hoped. Most, if not all, Asian restaurants I’ve been to, they’re not as attentive to their customers anyways, so I just push that to the side unless the servers are going above and beyond to piss me off.
This place can be a hit or miss for me. But, like I said, I wouldn’t decide to come here. I’d rather go elsewhere for better tasting food and a less shady area.

This is my GO TO spot for chinese food! The type of food where you don’t need to apply lip gloss after because of the grease and oil reminder left on your lips. LOL. Yes that good. It can get pretty crowded in the evening times with parking so come early if you do come with a big family. I like how they extended the restaurant so it’s not big of a wait like before, but it can still get busy. My favorite dishes are the empress chicken, salt and pepper spare ribs, chicken sautéed with mushrooms, and scallop and egg fried rice.
This is a review for a Friday evening.
Normally, we have Iris as our waitress, but today we had some other person. (I suggest sitting in her area if you could because she’s fast and such a sweet person and gets your order right and out in a timely manner). It happen to be a Friday night during dinner time approx 7:30−8PM. It was busy, but not busy where there was a huge wait. We had to get one of their attention to order and make sure you have them read back the order. They misunderstood one of the dishes we ordered and then forgot our spare rib dish and it took awhile for it to come out. The rice wasn’t fully cooked all the way and was still moist. I normally don’t experience this kind of service here but again it is a chinese restaurant where you have to get their attention if you need something. I rate 3 stars for the food, it would be higher if service would improve!

In simplicity, the food from NHKW’s massive menu is delicious and authentic, but service is lacking.
To start off, parking is on a thin strip in front of the restaurant and since there are several businesses on the same shopping strip, parking can be limited. This restaurant isn’t really all that great for groups of 6 or more. If you plan on coming with a large group, I suggest making a reservation.
Be careful not to hit the person sitting behind you and watch out for dandruff flying in your direction (on 2 occasions, we sat next to someone who continually scratched their heads). In other words, the seating area is a bit small and tables are closely placed next to one another.
Despite how busy it is, food seems to come out quickly. However, once the dishes are out, you may need to flag down the waiters for more water and napkins. I wish it was more consistent, but sadly, service is only excellent when I dine in with Chinese families. When I come with Mandarin speaking friends/​family, the waiters are much more attentive and friendly!
Again, the menu is massive so there is something for everyone. For the authenticity and great taste, prices are very reasonable. I have not had one bad dish from NHKW.
Personal recommendations: Cod & Eggplant Claypot, Yangzhou Fried Rice, Peking Duck, and Braised Mushrooms with Spinach!

Came here on a Saturday night the place wasnt filled because today was vday. The food here is authentic not a typical american chinese food such as chow mein and etc. If you like americanize Chinese food your in the wrong place. I suggest next door Jade fountain.
I recommend there emperor chicken which is a yellow skin and the chicken is very different than regular chicken dish. This chicken is like more chewy and has a different flavor which we call fresh and sweet chicken flavor in the asian culture.
They also have wonderful dumplings or won ton egg noodles soup. The broth is very flavorful and strong as well. The dumplings are a good size and a good portion of noodles as well.
I love the fried fish with eggs inside they have which has lots of eggs in the tummy of the fish. The flavors of the deep fry dish was in heaven with garlic bits and jalepeno as well. The texture of the dish was pure crispiness.
The porridge is another one of my fav all time. I usually get the shreded pork with oysters which is so good.
This place has a slow and bad service as well. Basically you have to flag them and ask for stuff you need. I was observing others flagging them down for more napkins and boxes as well. This place is on the pricier side but it does feel authentic. What i mean by authentic is first the chicken is yellow skin which is different. In the asian culture we like the wok taste in our food meaning the food was cooked in a high to medium flame on the wok but isnt burnt or anything just cook to perfection. not every place can do this and this is one of the place we can taste it.
