Taste of Hong Kong

All I can say is, great deal! 20$ for menu A abd 25$ for menu B. Ignore the price to the right of the item. You choose A or B and the buffet comes with it. You can't take your entree home. Its part of the buffet.

This is of great value. The buffet has crispy pork, chicken wings, soups, and unlimited drinks snd thrifty ice cream!

The only cons are: when food isn't reheated or not replenished in time, the food tastes awful. The service is also terrible. I had to get my own salt, pepper, soy sauce.

I enjoyed taste of Hong Kong; come hungry!

Very disappointing experience at Taste of Hong Kong. The food at the station was not hot, not even warm, which really affected the overall quality of the meal. The service was also below average — the server did not explain the menu clearly or assist us properly with our order. Unfortunately, the experience did not meet expectations, and I definitely will not be coming back. i can give 2 stars for the effort..and for 43ish $ can do if you are really hungry.. nothing special...

This place exceeded my expectations! Currently it's either $20 to $25 a person, depending on which menu you choose. I believe menu Ais $20/Person where menu Bis $25/person. If you want basic Chinese American food menu A is for you and if you want more authentic Cantonese food menu B is for you. So the way it works is that you pick one item on the menu as your main dish and they will make that dish fresh for you and bring it to the table and then you have access to the buffet area. All you can eat and drink during your visit. There is free Hong Kong milk, tea, lemonade and water and also a refrigerator full of canned drinks and beverages that are included in the buffet. Also in the refrigerator is cheesecake that is also included in the buffet. There is also an ice cream freezer filled with eight different spots for ice cream although three of them were vanilla. The rest of the ice cream flavors were chocolate chip, mint chocolate chip, orange sherbet, rainbow sherbet, and green tea. The servers were knowledgeable and very friendly and explained how the whole system they created works. Being able to get a freshly made Chinese dish per person makes every visit unique if you get something different every time. We got the honey walnut shrimp and stir fried lamb with cumin. The dishes came out piping hot and extremely delicious. They had three different types of soup, chicken and corn, hot and sour, and curry soup. The hot and sour and curry soup were her, in my opinion, very spicy and I didn't try the corn chicken soup. They had barbecue pork and crunchy pork belly that were both delicious! They had a fried food section that included fish sticks, cheese sticks, egg rolls, tater tots, french fries, sesame balls and potstickers. There was also a salad and cold section that had two different kinds of chicken, seaweed, salad, cucumber, salad, plain salad with multiple dressings. For the price, I don't think you can beat this meal!

If your coming from Facebook video ad that video is very misleading. You do not get endless entrees you get one and the buffet. Our server was very kind and really patient while explaining how it works. The food was ok standard buffet food but my biggest issue is while we were there it looked like one of the cooks or owners was yelling at the server. I went to pay for our food and the server left to get change for a $100, I looked over to see where she went and a male employee was yelling in her ear. As someone who works in food service that is not how you treat your employees and definitely not in front of customers. Regardless of if she made a mistake or not you should always treat your employees professionally and with respect. For that reason alone I will not eat here again. Hopefully, that guy no longer works there. I just was there at 6:20 on 4/26

Unfortunately got suckered into coming here from the Instagram videos promoting the buffet. The entrees were fine, but the buffet is terrible. The food sits for hours because there is low turnover, and becomes so dry that it’s inedible.

The steamed bun they put there was so hard that i ended up just spitting it out. The bbq pork is ok if you don’t get end pieces. The roast pork is more than 75% fat; my guess is the good pieces go to à la carte, and the rest go to buffet. The chow mein was STIFF, and we found a piece of thin, clear plastic in it. When we told the staff, they just said “ok, got it.” When I went back about ten minutes later, the same chow mein was still sitting there. They didn’t even bother changing it out. The fried foods were super dried out as well.

TL;DR- skip the buffet. Entrees are ok.

I bit into a potsticker and it CRACKED my molar. I told a server and her response to my cracked tooth was “it’s just a little bit,” then she told me to make sure to eat the rest since I can’t take it home and she walked away. I got another server and his response was to ask me if I wanted it remade. Mind you my tooth is cracked and I couldn’t eat my food at all anymore. No manager, no resolution, nothing.

Definitely a must try in San Diego especially if you love Chinese food.Came here for the $19.99 buffet, and I wish I found out about this spot earlier ! You get to choose one of their entrées and get the salad and noodle bar which has tons of option unlimited. I came with my buddy so we each tried a different entrée my buddy got the black pepper beef and he loved it and I tried to piece. It was very good. My other buddy got the spicy chicken he liked it. I tried the orange chicken from one of my buddies and it was good my entrée was the honey walnut shrimp, and it was the best I ever had amazing. They’re unlimited salad bar contains of chow mein fried rice rice rice several different other items some soup as well. And then we all decided to order the duck and share it was my first time having duck, and it was amazing. Definitely recommend this spot. The restaurant was clean and the server was helpful.

It was pretty good. I wish that they would space us out a bit more when it comes to seating arrangements. Our server was really nice and made great recommendations. Not too many options for the buffet. Wasn't too happy to see chicken tenders and mozzarella sticks at a Asian place. I think variety can be better. But the actual dish that was ordered from the menu was really good. I did get some food from the buffet, but again I did not want and was disappointed to see american food as an option.

Food… was by far just mediocre. Dishes do not repress the taste of HK at all. More like mainland Canton style. Ordered the triple mix: Empress chicken (not good at all) roast duck (MID) & char siu (flavor ok but nothing special but drenched in honey) all were disappointing. Salt & pepper squid was very “fishy” you feel like you eating it straight from the ocean 2 days ago. lol
Asked Yuen yang but do not have, offered HK milk tea instead but it basically tastes like boxed drink.

Service… just 2 waitress running the whole place at lunch hour & hard to get their attention for anything. They are friendly, just too occupied.

I was excited from the social media reel hype but hit by reality. Will not return.

Had dinner here with family (8 adults and 2 kids, total 10 people), and unfortunately the billing was very disappointing.

We were only served one large shared bowl of rice, but were charged for 11 bowls. No one informed us that rice would be charged per person, and we never ordered extra portions. Charging more rice than the number of people at the table makes no sense.

They also charged multiple tea services without clearly explaining the pricing upfront.

I understand restaurants may charge per person for rice or tea, but this should be clearly communicated in advance. Transparency matters. This experience felt misleading and left a bad impression.

I hope management can improve communication and billing practices in the future.

Ordered from the A and B menu. Orange chicken and honey walnut prawns. Both dishes were good with the orange chicken being the winner. The sauce was very flavorful. As for the buffet, I did not expect much as I had read some reviews prior. The bbq pork was okay, so were the soups and the dim sum. As for the fried items, they were all cold, dry, looked like they had been sitting out there far too long and tasted like cardboard. Small salad bar with a salad, seaweed salad, and cucumber salad, which was decent. Fried rice and noodles looked dry. On the plus side, sodas were included along with some ice cream. Staff was friendly. Overall, the menu items were good but the buffet was very underwhelming.
