Hong Kong Chef is a spacious Cantonese restaurant that offers a wide-ranging menu. The service is described as average, with waitstaff who are not particularly attentive but get the job done. The environment is said to be beautiful, providing a comfortable setting for large groups.
The food at Hong Kong Chef receives mixed reviews. Some dishes are praised, such as the juicy potstickers served with a spicy chili oil, the crisp string beans with chicken, and the generous beef chow fun. The Peking duck, however, is criticized for having overly hard skin that is difficult to eat. Another customer notes the lobster had an unpleasant gasoline smell, which may be an issue with the supplier.
Despite some complaints, the majority of the dishes are described as "very good" and "tasty," meeting the high standards of the Asian members of one group. Portion sizes are generous, allowing customers to take home leftovers. Prices are on the higher end, but the level of service provided is said to make it worth the cost.
Overall, Hong Kong Chef seems to be a solid choice for Cantonese fare, with a varied menu that offers both hits and misses. The restaurant's spacious, comfortable setting makes it a good option for large gatherings, though the service could use some improvement. With a little more consistency in the kitchen, Hong Kong Chef could be an excellent local spot for authentic Chinese cuisine.
