HK Flower Lounge is a solid old school Chinese Food restaurant. It offers traditional cantonese dishes and a unique culinary experiences.The flavors are authentically Hong Kong style cooking. The menu is extensive as it has some of the unique foods that you normally can only find them in Hong Kong. Like the ice vegetables cooked in clear broths, I haven’t seen this dish on any of the Chinese restaurant menus in LA. They also have Chef’s recommended dishes that are not typical dishes of Chinese restaurants in the US. In other words, if you want to explore some of the authentic Chinese dishes, this is the place to do it.The restaurant provides very good value for your money too. Although prices for its individual dishes are average, the set menus offer excellent deals. When we dined there, we ordered a set for $55 that included scallion and ginger crab, fried pigeon, ice veggie, Buddha jump over the wall soup, and fried tofu. They also threw in three desserts for us. We couldn’t finish all the food as the portions were so generous.Lastly, the service was excellent. Our waiter Jackie constantly checked on us and changed plates. He was the one who brought us the extra desserts like the red bean paste soup, wife cookies, and sponge muffin. We were so impressive with the food and the service. We definitely will bring our friends here when we visit San Francisco.
A friend recommended this place as a dim sum spot near the airport. Our caveat is that we arrived a half hour prior to closing on a Wednesday when of course dim sum is not available. We were reluctantly seated and rushed through the meal until the bill came, when they warmed up a bit. The fried rice was a bit wet and lacked significant flavor. The honey walnut shrimp was good, as was the won ton soup. We’d have to be pretty desperate to come back and try the dim sum.
Legit spot for Hong Kong cuisine! Love all the dishes we ordered - from lobster to tofu to garlic pea vines to fried rice, everything was delicious!
Dim sum portions are pretty large here, but it still had good flavor. Nothing in particular stood out, and the dumplings fell apart too easily because they were too large. Prices are reasonable for the location. Service was good and we didn't wait long for food. They were also able to seat our large group of 13 on a Sat during lunch without an issue.
One word...DELICIOUS! PLEASE GO EAT HERE if you like authentic Chinese food. Wonton soup made w shrimp and pork dumplings. Beef extremely tender. Not cheap but well worth every cent. Rice cake and sesame cookie with tea fir dessert is a must...sooo delicious!
Excellent as always!! Recommendation: get the spicy beef cubes n peppers ?
Dim sum might not up to modern standard, but the service is good, even for non regular...Nice and historical building is great inside out, this is the place to remember...
This place was terrible. When we arrived, a lot of the items we wanted we were told had run out. When the bill came those items happened to be on our bill even though we didn’t eat them. When we complained, the staff were exceptionally rude and called us liars. In the end we only had one item removed. So we ended up having to pay for dishes we didn’t eat! The food was also very oily and over cooked. Never going back again!!!
Average dim sum. Sat outside and everything is red because of the awning.
We came here for a banquet. Parking was convenient because they have their own parking lots; otherwise, street parking. Service was adequate. Food was fresh and tasty.

I attended the wedding banquet here. The food is exceptionally good.
This place hasn’t changed! Parking is fun. Seating is fun too. No more carts - you select your dim sum dishes from a paper menu. The food was fresh and tasted very good. Lots of MSG however.
Friendly service. Small portion of crab soup (appetizer size) for 25. Good, but nothing special. Can’t really recommend. Had a much better dinner down to road with less money.
This place is amazing! The food tasted great and the portions were huge. I can't wait to go back
I came with a friend who insisted this was one of his favorite Chinese restaurants in the area. I'm not necessarily an aficionado of Chinese cuisine but I went along with him since as a vegetarian I knew I could find something suitable to eat. We arrived soon after they opened and were seated promptly. The menu is extensive although vegetarian options are surprisingly limited. I finally decided upon tofu with eggplant in a special sauce - it arrived steaming in a clay pot. It was an enormous amount of food and tasty enough, but the volume of sauce had caused the tofu to fall apart and become soggy. Overall, just average - as was the service.
