Singapore noodles! Every time we order from here, we have to order the Singapore noodles. They make the best in all of Johnston county. Their orange chicken is absolutely fantastic, and uses real oranges, unlike some others. Overall, we have never had a bad dish from Honk Kong Chinese Food, they keep getting better. 10/10 would recommend, and the portions are generous.

Love the cream cheese rangoons and the fresh veggies but not a fan of the fried rice.

Very quaint little hole-in-the-wall eatery off the highway, serving classic Chinese-American dishes. The food was VERY good; well seasoned, flavorful, and HOT. Note that any scallop or crab dishes are imitation and not the real animal. So if you're not a big fan of fish cakes you'll likely be disappointed if you're not aware of this beforehand. Would definitely stop here again if passing through the area again.

The plate was full! This Chinese restaurant is so good, I ordered ahead and my food was ready right in time! The food was so good, the chicken was great, it was just crispy enough and just enough sauce on it. I’m so picky with Chinese food but I am happy I gave this place a try!

Had this place solo back in early July and it was soooo good. Had to bring the family back to try it. They did not disappoint. I think we found our newest Chinese food spot.

Food was delicious, my first time here. We were a little disappointed they didn't have plates and just plastic silverware. Next time we will get it to go.
