Hong Kong Restaurant

Delicious, super-hot food and friendly staff. Hard to find old school Chinese food like this.

Who knew that a Hong Kong restaurant in small town Idaho Falls would have some of the best Chinese food around?

Usually when you stumble across a lone Oriental restaurant in a rural area, the food often gets morphed into more American and less authenticly Asian tastes. So when we stumbled across this place, we didn't expect much. Boy were we surprised by the taste and quality of the food!

I admit, the plating is more western style than asian (personal meals in mind vs dishes shared family style). However, you can just ask for extra empty plates and share if you want a sampling of more than one entrée.

The nice thing about this restaurant is that they also offer meal plate combos so you can get mote variety. However, the offerings for the combos are limited to certain fried rice, sweet & sour meats, etc dishes.

Loved the lemon chicken! That was the highlight of our meal. Tender, crisp, and juicy without being oberly sweet from the sauce. The other stir fried veggies, and sautéed meat with veggies were also flavorful and delicious.

Would definitely recommend stopping by here if you're looking to try out some amazing Chinese food cuisine.

We stopped for lunch and we're pleasantly surprised with both delicious food and wonderful service.
You can't beat the prices either.
All in all a great experience!

Here I go again. I'm being brave yet again trying another Chinese restaurant in Idaho Falls. Let's hope this place is better than the last place I went to about two months ago.

When I first approached the building, I noticed the sign that read Hong Kong Restaurant Chinese & American Food. That immediately put up a red flag. If I want American food I'll go to Denny's but I was in the mood for Chinese so I asked for a table. The restaurant looks old and dated. There are a few tables in the front and there were small children playing in the booths. They brought me to the back room where there were more booths and tables.

I looked in the menu and saw the Hong Kong Special, with "Cantonese style fried noodles" under Authentic Chinese Specialties that caught my eye. I asked the server if these were pan fried thin noodles. She told me they were, so I went ahead and ordered it along with sweet and sour pork with the sauce on the side.

I took pictures of the restaurant and within minutes my food was ready. NOT A GOOD SIGN. When the server brought me the noodles, I asked her, I thought you said these were pan fried? She said they were. She failed to mention they were pan fried by LA CHOY! The sweet and sour pork was ok but and the sauce was not bad. However, the pork was over cooked and was extremely tough. I also order fried rice for an extra $1.75. I tasted the fried rice and it had a very rancid, slimy flavor to it. I couldn't eat it. I called the server over and asked for white rice. She said that I would have to pay extra. Fine... She brought it to me and I found a black foreign matter in it. I brought it to the server's attention and she told me that it was just pepper. Peppercorn are not that small and flakes are not that big. I told her "that's not very appetizing." Then she WALKED AWAY. She did not offer to replace my rice and charged me for it!

The server hasn't come back to my table to ask how everything is going and disappeared in the kitchen.

I've lost my appetite and had to leave. $35 could've bought me a nice steak dinner.

Needless to say. I don't think I will try Chinese food in Idaho Falls again. I don't know how they can receive 4 stars with the service and food quality.

Save your money. This place is not worth it.

We have eaten here often. The food, service and prices are all very good. The decor isn't all that but we go for the food. Mandarin chicken is our favorite.

My favorite Chinese food in town! I always order the lunch specials and they never disappoint!

I enjoy take out here the sweet and sour pork is my favorite. Last time it was a little too soggy, o like it crispy to where it almost melts in your mouth but has that apple crisp texture. I haven't eaten inside but it looks clean and the people are very friendly and prices are great.

Decent Chinese food at good prices.
Had the wonton soup and pork lomein. Enjoyed both.

We are fairly new to the area and looking for Chinese similar to what we're used to. This place looks a little sketchy when you walk in because the dining area is way in the back. Service was fine, food was good. We ordered "family style" so we could share.

The 2 items we liked best were: the sweet n sour shrimp because the tempura batter was yumm, (but could have used more sauce and bigger shrimp.) And the tangerine chicken is a big plate full and it also has a thin, crisp tempura, good flavor and plenty of sauce.

We got a few other things - Potstickers were good & we used the side sauce on the tempura. Fried rice was also good. The flavor of the broccoli beef was good but had a TON of other veggies in it, which we didn't care for. Not enough beef or broccoli.

Overall, an A for effort - it's difficult to rate others when you're trying to find a new place to LOVE.

Food was really good! Fresh food and very tasty. Sizzling chicken with tofu was awesome. Lemon chicken was great, the wife only mentioned she would have liked to have more sauce-- that's a good thing. I asked for extra chili sauce on the side, it was delicious. Not the same chili sauce you usually get it, highly recommend it. Would recommend and go back when we're back in town.
