Hong Kong Chef

Nasty and cold, that’s all I can say. Just really bad Chinese food. It took 45 minutes for my food to arrive. I wish I could give them no star’s

This is by far the worst Chinese food I have ever had in my life. I have been to this location twice and the first time it was pretty bad, but I thought I’d give it another shot. The second time exceeded my expectations of just how awful something could really be. The food is inedible. It is one bite, don’t swallow, spit it out of your mouth bad. I figured I’d go for for a few apps thinking it would be nearly impossible to screw up an egg roll and a few pork strips etc, well they certainly figured it out. The egg rolls were completely mushy and left the worst after taste in my mouth, imagine stale bread and spoiled meat. The pork strips were covered in fat and grease to the point where you could not taste anything but greasy fat, which is pretty difficult to do considering sparerib sauce is traditionally very strong. The beef teriyaki was borderline not beef, but some grade d cut of mystery meat soaked in grease and old marinade. The crab rangoon may have been two or three days old and were soggy besides the very outside edges, they tasted like they had been reheated in the microwave. I tried to give this place a second chance after getting the chewiest yet somehow over cooked orange chicken and stale fried rice I have ever had, but it was a huge mistake. There is no justification for ever stepping foot in this establishment. It should be condemned if for nothing else to not sully the good name of other whole in the wall Chinese food restaurants elsewhere in the city. Don’t waste your time or money or good health on this place. Drive the extra mile, take an über or subway, or walk if you have to, but go to a different Chinese food restaurant because this is the type of place that makes people lose their faith in humanity.

I just finished my meal from hong kong chef we ordered around 9:30 and picked it up shortly after the rice had a 9 inch long piece of hair in it the chicken fingers were well overcooked to a hard crunchy state and the pork spare ribs were more fat than meat

What can I say? Found them online, called after midnight and asked for something that I don’t think was on their menu and guess what? They promptly delivered my hot and delicious food, along with my cold soda, delivery guy was very friendly and they didn’t charge me a fortune. This is my new go to place when I’m craving spicy shrimp and veggies late at night.

Best service you can find around Dorchester and south Boston, they even make a special food that’s not on the menu with no question ask

Service was great & best Chinese fast food around Dorchester/​Andrew Sq!!! Also reasonable$__$!!

DO NOT!!! I’ll say it again… DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME COMING HERE…
They got our order TOTALLY WRONG, after waiting 30mins when we were told 15 mins… Came home and everything was WRONG!!! I don’t think you understand… When I say wrong I mean SUPER wrong! IAnd when we returned for them to give us the right order, the lady just took the chicken out of our wrong order and placed it back into the big pot of already made chicken also one piece of the chicken ended up having lobster sauce on it… What does she do? Rinses it off and puts it in the pot!!! Like thank GOD we aren’t nasty people and touched the food or did anything to it cause that it just TOTALLY DISGUSTING!!! Will NOT RETURN TO THIS PLACE!!!
Yuck!!!
Here’s what we ordered:
Plate #1: pork fried rice, lobster sauce and chicken Fingers
Plate #2: vegetable low mein, 1 spring roll, and chicken fingers
HERE’s what we got:
Plate #1: white rice, lobster sauce, and half of a chicken wing… Yes half of ONE CHICKEN WING… HALF!!! So it wasn’t even a full chicken wing… Can you imagine our faces when we seen that sh@t
Plate #2: low mein, three chicken wings and 1 BIG ASS egg roll

I give this place 4 stars because after I leave the gym I just want boiled veggies and chicken and not a drawn out conversation from a waitress. Even though this order is not on the menu they make it for me, no questions asked.
It’s kinda like you just go in order and leave. Not really a friendly atmosphere, but that’s fast food right?

D-​16 general sou, chicken wings, boneless spare ribs and rice. Food is good enough and the cashier, konnie, is awesome.

Hey, Hong Kong Chef has been our local Chinese restaurant that we alway order and call for delivery. I would consider myself a loyal costumer (loll)The food usually is alway good, and very consistent !!
On this particular day, we order a pupu platter a a 2Lt. drink. When the delivery man came to the door he handed me my food but no drink. :-(I asked him «oh did you leave the drink in the car?» he said «i didn’t know you order drink» he looked at the receipt then realized he must have forgotten it. I Asked him so kindly if he will be bring me the drink (how else was i suppose to enjoy this wonderful food?) The deliver man Immediately got defensive and told me «you call them, I’m only a deliver man»
(after i already tipped him) so i call the restaurant and explain that there must have been a mistake they forgot to send the drink with my order. They sent him back with the drink and basically shoved it to me… no eye contact, no apology… This particular deliver man is the Ruddest MAN EVER! if you don’t tip him, he’ll be sure to ask for it!!!
NO BUENO!
Other then that the food is great!

The food was bad had general gaos and crab ragoon, next day threw up. The general gaos was not fresh and crab ragoon soggy, should of
threw of it away sooner. Not coming back

The Menu is hit or miss, but with cheap prices and huge portion sizes, the hits are well worth it. Based on my early experimentation:
Stick With: Boneless Spare Ribs, Szeuchen Chicken, Lo Mein, and Chicken Wings.
Stay Away From: Sweat and Sour Chicken, chicken tenders, beef teriyaki, hong kong chicken, and fried rice.

From the moment you walk in you’re struck by the sweet ambrosia of monosodium glutamate wafting from the kitchen. The soda machines are always (well 60−70% of the time) stocked with soda. The tables are generally maintained in a manner conducive to eating your food on them. Which brings me to the crux of my review,…the FOOD! It’s the genuine Asian deliciousness that makes one gastronomically feel as though they’ve been secretly whisked to a Beijing restaurant overlooking the Forbidden City. I voluntarily pay triple the low low prices to show my gratitude! PS… get the French Fries!

I wish you all would have a little bit of a better flavor. It is really fast food. It just tastes okay and no real flavor. It reminds of the Chinese buffets in AZ that cater to the Hispanic community. I desire, flavorful, spicy and authentic food. So, just move up a step above the rest and I will give you two more stars. Cook with Coconut Aminos and I will be really happy.
Thanks,
Roxy

A little surprised by the negative reviews. I order from this place pretty consistently and have never had an issue. Good deals, a ton of food and quick delivery makes this my favorite Chinese food in the area.

Wish zero was an option. I got one of these dinner specials last night. The wings were disgusting. They looked extremely stale. The General T’so chicken was a joke. They basically poured sauce over chicken breast and called it GT chicken. I could have made a much better version of it myself.
The delivery guy showed up 10 mins after I order which was surprising. The food was cold so I assumed someone else must have ordered the same time and cancelled. I am extremely disappointed in Chinese food in Dorchester. I refuse to eat here again.
Gross!!!

I’ve tried this place a few times now, it being nearby. I like your typical chinese take out once in a blue moon, but my last visit was abysmal. The food was so greasy that you couldn’t eat it. A $ 20 takeout meal went into the trash.
And of course it’s just a take out place, but the inside of it doesn’t look sanitary. I watched a chef place raw terriyaki strips onto the grill, not wash his hands, and go off to prepare other food. Food safety 101.

You’ve got pretty consistent, run of the mill Chinese food here. I’ve tried a few other delivery places around the Savin Hill/​Uphams Corner area, and Hong Kong is by far my favorite.
My buddy loves the Szeuchuan chicken to the end of the world. I usually stick to the Lo Meins and Chop Sueys. There’s not much to say about the food, I always fee like «it’s not bad» is all you can ask for with Chinese.
I live pretty close by, but each and every time I still feel like their delivery is super-​fast. They always get the orders right, the food is always packaged without spillage, and they take credit cards. A-​OK indeed!

I stopped in to grab a bite on my way to the T. I only had two items so I can’t comment on the quality of all the food, but I can say that the prices are really high — too high for just one person looking to snag a quick bite to eat.
The steak-​on-​sticks that I got were mediocre — and I only got three for like $ 5. The french fries were flavorless (although to be fair, it was my own fault for ordering french fries at a Chinese takeout place. Not really a good idea).
I’d say it’s okay if you’re really hungry, especially since the only other close short-​order place, the pizza place down the street, doesn’t take credit/​debit cards. But if you can wait a little while, hold off and get something better.

When you are hungry, these folks have food. You’ll get a lot of food for your money – pounds of it, even. But it won’t be especially good food. It will, however, feed you for a couple of days.
They do a brisk takeout/​delivery business. They have a big staff working hard, and they’re friendly.
