The Hong Kong Restaurant

We have eaten at the restaurant before. Oir first foray into their cuisine was about a year ago 2015. We desired Asian food and found this place on Unilocal.
It was a toss up between it and the other Asian restaurant in town. After choosing and arriving we noticed it was busy. We got a table and were waited on fairly promptly. I believe my Wife got sweet and sour chicken and I ate general Tso’s.
The price was fairly reasonable and you definitely received a ton of food for what you pay. I don’t believe we raved over it but it was okay. We went back a few times since then.
More recently on 2.2.2016 I grabbed some eats for us. My Wife had sweet and sour chicken and I had seasame chicken with crab Rangoon. My Wife’s food was decent not cooked to hard and the crab Rangoon were pretty good. My seasame chicken was tolerated by me at best. The sauce was overwhelming the whole dish. My chicken was fried to hard and chewy too. Some of it was tender and a bit crispy but mostly not.
Three stars and I hope in the future they will do a better job on their dishes. I’m a believer that in most cases it may be a fluke but we’ll see.

Let me start out by saying that I was starving from driving from Galveston. I stopped in Elgin and Elgin is known for their BBQ. I was not in the mood for BBQ so I headed to this place. We know Elgin is a small place.
We walked in at 2:02pm on a Saturday and the lady working greeted us with a lunch menu. Awesome! She still allowed us to order from the lunch menu. They do not have fountain sodas. They have can sodas but it’s only $ 1. Not bad!
Check out the lunch menu I uploaded. Great prices! I ordered the egg drop soup, hot and spicy chicken with fried rice and egg roll. The food was good… We even ordered a fresh spring roll to go along with it. The guy seated behind me said that their spring rolls were the best he ever had.
If you are ever passing by from out of town check them out. Worth a shot especially for their lunch prices!!!

For Elgin, this place is pretty good. Ive had beef w broccoli, sesame chix and tso’s. All fresh and tasty. Egg rolls are good, hot n sour soup. Wonton is a little bland. Service is friendly and seems family operated.
For 7 bucks you get a generous entrée, soup and egg roll. Not bad! For lunch its 6.25!
Impressed with this place, as 90% of restaurants in Elgin are awful

Pretty good restaurant to get your Chinese fix as you travel. I’ve had much better Chinese but I’ve had much worse. People are nice and the food is good. Overall I give it a three since I’ve been at 5 star Chinese. Would definitely stop there again for a quick lunch.

I have only been to Hong Hong for lunch but I really love this restaurant. The food is fresh and served hot and no MSG!!! The service is friendly and the portions are large! Take out is great too!

Awesome Asian stuff on the walls, food that tastes homemade, what more could you want from a Asian /​Chinese eatery?

On two different occasions I have gone there expecting to find better service than the first time; recently. Have been a couple times when they first opened and throughout the years, yet lately their service has been plummeting to the worst. Convenience is sometimes a bad expectation of local «restaurants». The first time, this month I went and we were seated appropriately and our drink orders were taken, appetizers delivered in fair time, but our entrees seemed like a lifetime to receive.
This last time, we were seated, yet they seemed more concerned with their take out orders and people just coming in to place orders for takeout than for the patrons seated dining in. After we politely asked to get service for our drink orders; then were greeted so dryly by the young femaile who seemed to be more concerned with leaving as soon as she came to the table (no eye contact). Even after informing her we were ready to take our order there and then… she quickly exited with a minimum of four words and just disappeared into the kitchen. Another female adult seemed more concentrated on taking the take out order of another patron; ignoring the tables completely and that gentleman was able to get his order quickly and leave way before our appetizer order was even placed and we never had our meal order taken.
It was very disappointing that your regular patrons get ignored, while others are just out the door as quick as they arrived. Did not realize fast food was more the style of all restaurants; then why offer dining in. I have worked in a restaurant and that kind of behavior is automatic failure for a business to thrive and continue on, anywhere. I definitely do not recommend this place to anyone; for these past few years their service is in complete downfall and their attitude towards their patrons is complete apathy. I strongly suggest-​if you want chinese — go somewhere else, but here (unless you like this sort of treatment). Go to Koy or HEB; they are a whole lot friendlier and more customer service oriented!!!

the food was great. staff was polite. what more can you ask for.

The staff is very polite, and we have eaten there many times. The take out service is fast and wonderful. I would recommend this place for Chinese food anytime.
