Solid spot. Not the best, not the worst. Fewer and fewer options for old school BBQ, especially now that Great BBQ is closed, so Hong Kong is sort of the last of the Mohicans in Chinatown proper. Char Siu is a little sweet for me but the meats are all generally good and prices are reasonable.

It can be a little hectic inside so don’t be shy about holding your place in the line or getting your food when they call your number.

It wasn't bad, but it wasn't good.Absolutely not worth waiting in line for. With everything else in Chinatown this was my last favorite.

Classic Chinatown spot for roast meats. The roast duck and crispy pork over rice were flavorful and came in generous portions. The setup is straightforward—order at the counter where you can see all the meats hanging, then enjoy hearty comfort food that hits the spot. Service is quick and efficient, exactly what you’d expect from a no-frills eatery. The pork is good but duck is a bit greasy.

Rice was mushy. Shrimp wonton was sour and not fresh.

The restaurant metermorphiized into more like a fast food concept. You can order and pay via two screens and hold on to the receipt it generates as this is your ticket to pick up your order at the counter. They do a swift carry out business; and had around a dozen seats with two chairs to a table for those who wish to eat in. Water is self serve in very small paper cups, near the cutlery station. I had forgotten they do not source traditional chicken, they use American birds instead. Had the blanched chicken rice box and an herbal tea. Portions are huge.

Area is very small, 5 tables to sit at, only reason I put service at 4/5 is because it was a kiosk machine, there is no conversion between customer and service that can be good but I have also seen it go very bad. That being said the kiosk machine made it very simple and quick. The food is the shinning star of this restaurant I personally got the 3 meat rice plate with crispy duck, pork, and brisket, my wife got the duck, pork and chicken and we both enjoyed our food so much we vowed to come back with empty stomachs to fit more. Whilst the atmosphere itself is very calm and relatively quiet but at this size it is solely based on the other customers and their awareness of how loud they might be. I would very much recommend stopping by this restaurant 8.5/10

A less good version of potluck cafe. I was so excited for the pork ears (my favorite), but it was flavorless and not crunchy enough. Also we got a single piece of bok choy - would have loved some more or varied vegetables as part of the rice plate.

3 stars rating means good.

Roast duck is great, but the other meats are serve cold for some reason.

Rice is good, but it taste like in the brinks of being expired.

Place is small. Doesn’t have many tables for dine in. The restaurant has a China-smell to it.

Someone referred me to this place.

Would I return? Yes, but not my first choice.

I’ve been ordering from this place regularly—their food quality and prices are standard for the Chinatown area. This time, I initially ordered a half roast duck. Right after the cashier gave me my change, I realized we’d have guests at home, so I politely asked to upgrade to a whole duck.

That’s when things got awkward. She started talking rapidly, sounding annoyed, saying something like “This can’t happen again—it’s too troublesome.” I apologized sincerely, but honestly, her reaction felt off. I get that changes might be inconvenient, but the tone was unnecessarily confrontational.

I don’t expect groveling, just basic courtesy without passive-aggressive frustration. Hoping they can improve customer service—politeness goes a long way, even for small adjustments. Still appreciate their food, but the attitude left a bad taste this time.
