Hong Kong Inn Restaurant

They have the best Egg Drop Soup. The cashew and sweet & Sour chicken is really good too. You can’t go wrong at this place. Good serving sizes and good food! they even have a drive thru.

Who from Springfield doesn’t love cashew chicken … only made in Springfield?
I visit Hong Kong Inn every time I come home. Hong Kong Inn is consistent in their quality of cashew chicken which hasn’t changed since this was the hot spot in high school after softball games. It’s still cheap and still delicious.
I always get the cashew child’s plate, which they never question or encourage me to get the special or full size portion (thank you!). My dude gets the daily special and I’ve noticed that the main difference between portion sizes of the daily special and child’s plate is mostly rice. It always disappoints him and entertains me.
At this location, the same woman has worked the drive thru window for the last 2 years at least. She’s always pleasant and is quite efficient. She somehow makes me feel better about going through a drive thru.
Tip: fork up the spare change for all white meat

Been there many times. The cashew/​Sweet Sour special CHEAP and GOOD. For a bit over 5 bucks: Cashew or S/​Sour w/​rice, two crab rangoon, egg roll. Hell yea.
As far as drive through cashew chicken places go, the one on North Glenstone is one of the best in town. I’ve tried lots of others and they can be either hit or miss – or just miss.
Some of these places let their grease go bad and burnt and the chicken sometimes grizzly which makes for a sucky cashew chicken experience.
Hong Kong Inn serves really good chicken (I get the all white) and the sauce is really good.
I am pretty choosy when it comes to Springfield style cashew chicken and this is a good place.

To be honest I thought it would be so much worse. For how cheap it is I really expected it to be awful. It wasn’t the worst Chinese I’ve ever had but it wasn’t the best either. The fact that two people can eat for under $ 15 is amazing. The potstickers are really good. The egg roll wasn’t bad and the rice and lo mien was basic. Like I said it could have been much worse for $ 15 for two people.

We stop here every time we go through Springfield… reminds us of our years we lived in Springfield in the seventies! Generous portions, great value… ask for all white meat for just a little extra $!

Hands down best Chinese in Springfield, MO. We have been coming here since I was a little kid! Always friendly smiling staff even when the owner is there she is always giving a helping hand and is extremely nice, unlike one of their sister stores Mimi’s Hong Kong Inn. I WILL NEVER EVER suggest that place to anyone! Did I mention Jackie is awesome!

This place is very quick in serving customers. The food is good and they have your Springfield standards as well as some unique items. Their prices are reasonable. It is close to the center of town which makes it a great go to for any surrounding workers.

I only give it four stars because the interior itself is a bit run down. But the food is fabulous! If you ever crave cashew chicle come here!

I come from China, the dishes here are really really unpalatable, in China, we don’t eat food like that…

Called in my order tonight at 5:30 before leaving work and was pleased with the prices but surprised to find they do not take credit cards over the phone (inconvenient but I can move past that) I told them I’d be there in 30mins and I was told they’d have it ready for me to pick up.
When I got there I paid and was told that my food would be ready in 15mins. I didn’t receive my food until 6:30 (all the while their drive thru is working smoothly) When I complained to the manager she feigned poor English and kept telling me that they were busy.
Finally I told them I wanted my money back and I would go else where. They told me the food was already made they couldn’t refund.
Completely not happy with this place :(

Just what we needed to start a busy weekend. A quick, inexpensive meal. Not the best in town, but the drive-​through service was quick, the price was right, and the food was not bad at all.

I live in St Louis but went to school in Springfield. When I come back, I have to get Cashew Chicken, and Hong Kong Inn is my favorite place. Everyone has his own favorite. I think the food here is very good, and the restaurant is very clean and convenient.

My wife and I have eaten at Mimi’s Hong Kong Inn for many years now, and it’s one of our favorites. The portions are plentiful, the staff is friendly, the restaurant is always clean and bright, and the general chicken is to die for.
My wife always gets vegetarian meals, and she loves all of them. I really can’t think of anything on the downside to post, so I won’t!
Wonderful meals!

LOVE this place — make sure you go to the one on Sunshine, not Battlefield. Cashew Chicken is hot and delish — and their veggie fried rice is really good too. You can eat for $ 4 — wow!

After all the reviews about the cashew chicken, I thought this would be amazing. Well it didn’t quite hit that level for me. I actually thought it was okay and was bland but with a little salt and pepper it was pretty good. The crab rangoon was good and their sweet and sour sauce was great. The prices, portions and service are what pushed me to give 4 and not 3 stars. We got the cashew chicken for two that came with two portions each of chicken and fried rice and 6 crab rangoons all for under $ 10.

Best cashew chicken in town.

Love this place, cashew chicken with white meat can’t be beat.

Not bad. I’d go back. Pretty decent selection. Waitress was super nice.

5 stars for the big cashew! I grew up on Springfield and still get all warm and fuzzy for Springfield-​style cashew chicken (at least, since I rediscovered it last year). Hit up the drive-​thru at Hong King in and enjoyed in no time! FYI, the lunch special for two (cashew, rice, and crab rangoon) is easily enough for 3 – 4 folks with reasonably demure appetites.

This review is only for their famed Cashew Chicken — white meat. We went on a tour with family and found theirs to be 2^nd. The meat was not as moist, the skin seemed to lose its crisp and fall off after being in the gravy, but it was still pretty tasty. First was Canton Inn and third was Chinese Chef.
