Best Authentic place to have Chinese
Hong Kong is the best Chinese Restaurant in NC, I live here but I spend a lot of time in California too, and one thing I really miss while I'm here is the authentic chinese like in LA's Chinatown (favorites: Full House, ABC). While Hong Kong is not necessarily better than any of LA's it's such a relief knowing I can always go to a place like this. Their food is authentic, warm and comfort food to me. Their pan fried noodles, squid and other dishes are magnificent, and I could go on all day thinking of good things about them. My family and I are regulars there and have sort of gotten to know the whole staff and I love being able to sit among fellow asians because that's where many go because like I said it is authentic! I know that people complain about their so called bad service but it's just something I don't even notice because they are welcoming, and they are busy, so if you want to be greeted quietly and bowed to, like you are some royal american go somewhere to pay greatly for less than awesome food. I hold Hong Kong close to my heart and forever will!you've got to be kidding me!
After reading so many decent reviews we showed up hoping to enjoy some authentic dim sum. We were duped. We have had dim sum in some of the premier locations around the world (New York, Boston, Hong Kong, Beijing, San Francisco, etc.). We are not as concerned about the service, it was fine, and the environment was ok...but the key to a good restaurant is the food...and they did not score high. The pork shiu mai meat tasted like it was a couple days past its shelf life, worst we've ever had, and the shrimp ball should have been called the corn starch special. There are others raving about how good this place is...you wonder where they're coming from and what they usually eat. It's too bad there are so few dim sum restaurants in the Triangle to compare.THE place for authentic food
My family comes from New York City, so we KNOW authentic food. After moving to Chapel Hill, we were dissappointed at the lack of Chinese food! We've tried out every single Chinese restaurant in the Durham-Chapel Hill-Carrboro area, and this is the single place we come to again and again.Awesome food, great experience
Love this restaurant's dim sum. The whole process is an adventure in eating - you have to work with the group to decide what items you want. (Differences can - um - anger the minority who want the shrimp ball, etcetera.) The taro is great, the shrimp ball, the sausage something-or-other - very tasty. You never know what your lunch will be. Go early - it gets crowded, and the parking is awful.Pretty Good
It has an amazing buffet which hosts distinct tasty food. I recommend it for the chinise food enthusiest.Great Dim Sum
I moved here about three months ago from Cleveland which, despite its "mistake on the lake" namesake, has some very fine Chinese food - and dim sum on the weekends. Hong Kong Chinese Restaurant is excellent. Their selection of dim sum choices include typical shu mai, har gau, and pork bun dumplings, but also include more unusual (and delicious) braised pork slices, honeycomb tripe with black bean sauce, and stewed beef tendon. Contrary to a previous review, all of the food is served piping hot in generous quantities by extremely pleasant servers. The restaurant is not large, but conceals large numbers of tables throughout the nooks and crannies of the dining rooms. They also understand and speak English with ease, something the folks back in Cleveland never did.A Restaurant with horrible service and HAIR
This is the WORST restaurant I have ever been to in my life. First of all, the restaurant is so small but on top of that the service is even worst. They would round their eyes at you and would make you wait a long time before you get what you ask for. So after horrible service and a long wait, the food would come out. Every food item I order were either hard or disgusting and plus there were a piece of hair on top of this dumpling type food. The only thing that was good was the tea and thats about it.Good Dim Sum, best in the Triangle Area
Went for Dim Sum on a Sunday morning. By 11:30, the waiting line was out the door. The crowd moves fast, though, and once seated, we were treated to some tasty dim sum treats.Unique restaurant, amazing food
This is one of my top 10 favorite restaurants in Durham, NC. To me, it's most important that a restaurant have (a) unique character or charm and (b) lovingly prepared, amazing food. Hong Kong Chinese has both.Worldwide > United States > Durham, NC > Chinese Restaurants
