Tried it for the first time first time earlier in the week and came back this weekend. I really like this place for American style Chinese food. Last time, my husband picked it up for me so I had no idea what it was like inside. I had kung pao shrimp which is always my go to when trying a new place. It was soo good. I asked for it extra spicy and it was everything I asked for. The portion was huge. I had it for a few meals. I also enjoyed the crab rangoon. There was a ton of filling. Today, my husband and I just wanted a quick bite so we split a vegetable fried rice and spring rolls. I asked if we could dine in since we were on the go. She said we would just order at the counter then she brought out plates and plastic utensils for us. The woman working was very nice. The rice was great! It was overflowing and had tons of vegetables. We also got some spring rolls. I personally think that they are homemade but I'm not for sure. My husband liked everything as well and he's pretty picky. This place is small. There's only about 5 tables and it's really more just a take out spot but we were just running errands so we ate it there today. I highly recommend checking it out. I feel like I found a hidden gem. Not sure how I just found this place this week when I have passed by it a million times.

Little take out business ran by husband and wife. Good food, not too greasy like most Chinese restaurants. Everything seasoned perfectly. Very reasonable prices. Will definitely come back again.

Now this is Chinese food! I had the sweet and sour chicken, and the breading was on point. The egg rolls were excellent ?

The food was a 8.5/10 and the service was fairly quick. The ambiance is the old faded menu mom n pop restaurant which we all know and love.

Carryout only, but there are places to sit and eat your food there. Big portions of good food, especially the egg rolls. Sweet and sour could use more pineapple and veggies. Clean and conveniently located.

DELICIOUS! Had never ordered from here. Lived close by for 25 years! My new favorite Chinese restaurant! The ABC was wonderful! Loved the light gravy! Egg rolls remind me of the ones we always got before the other restaurant closed!
New owners or something? This place used to be priced well not any more. The lo main is different, won ton soup is cloudy now. Price is also higher. Dinner combo is no longer only a la carte. The sauce isn’t even the same anymore
We have lived in Troy for 40 years and have used many different Chinese restaurants in the city, some are good, some are not so good. This one ranks among the best for takeout and everything else. Their food is incredibly fresh, not the typical with little extras added here and there, and the fried items are very crispy and very flavorful. They also seem to use a wider variety of vegetables than most Chinese restaurants use, so I was impressed by that. Along with all that the price is better than most Chinese restaurants in the area as well. In my book this is a win-win location!

If you still miss Kim’s Chinese in Troy, the menu and food in this place is very close. Reasonably priced and quick service. No dine in.Parking: Park in front.

First time ordering from Hong Kong Express, and it was fantastic! Best Chinese we've had in the area yet! Placed the order over the phone, and they were very nice and attentive. Order was ready in 25 min as I requested as they would have had before I could have gotten there. Order was exactly as ordered, plus extra cookies! Super fresh, hot, and generous portions. Flavors were all SPOT ON! As were our spice requests. I ordered the Shrimp with Lobster sauce and they were JUMBO 12/14 shrimp, cooked perfectly... but the size surprised me! Sweet and Sour chicken, Kung Pao Chicken and General's chicken were all wonderful! That plus fried rice and egg rolls. Highly recommended and we'll be back!
