Hong Kong Gardens Tavern and Restaurant

Great Chinese food this aera

This is a great Chinese food restaurant in our area and I was surpised they run the business since 1947. They provides Chinese food different from Chinatown, I like the General Taos' chicken, Crispy Ginger Beef and Cantonese Style Chow Mein, all these are my favor. The price is reasonable to me, even if you just want to enjoy the beer. Service is acceptable if compare to their food quality and the price... If you like Chinese food, I will recommend you with Hong Kong Gardens' take out or delivery service.

To be fair I can't give this restaurant a great review score, since it isn't that great. We ordered the spicy peanut chicken and the szechuan beef and noodle. The food is lacking in spice a bit but that is easily fixed with the hot sauce on hand. The meat and vegetables are well cooked and fresh, however. The portions are enormous. We walked away with enough food for another meal, and all for under $10 for dish. thus the food gets 4 stars for value. The atmosphere is definitely 'retro', but it is cute. They had a tv at the top of the stairs and it had a very homey quality to it. Overall a great experience, even if the restaurant isn't top notch.

Hong Kong Gardens

Been going to Hong Kong Gardens for 20 years.. always great. Need of a restaurant make over but the food is always great. You guys rock and roll.

I used to deliver part-time for this restaurant...

I used to deliver part-time for this restaurant over 40 years ago. The decor looks pretty much the same, but it was clean. My wife had an egg roll, I had a spring roll. She said it's the best egg roll she's ever had and I said the same of the spring roll. We had the Lemon Chicken, Cantonese Chow Mein, and Vegetable Rice, and a beer each. We were stuffed when we left, and took enough of each item to eat again tomorrow. EXCELLENT Lemon Chicken! Total including tip: $38.00. This is the BEST in the WEST-end, and we'll definitely return.

Three things about this resturant hat make me...

Three things about this resturant hat make me never want to dine there: 1) Their steamed rice has no moist and is not sticky at all. The waitress says they cooked the rice in the morning of the same day, but I suspect that they are reusing the rice from yesterday or before. 2) Their service is too excessive, which makes me annoyed. Every three minutes, three different waitresses keep coming back to my table to add more tea and to remove used plates!
