I like the Cho Yo Bing(scallion pancake), fish and vegetable dish, duck, tofu soup, a tofu dish, rice and sesame balls. I think the restaurant seats were full shortly we were seated, and after our dishes arrived. Consequently, one has to arrive early to get seating at lunch time. Noise is above average here with crying children. One has to choose seating carefully to facilitate having a conversation at lunch. Overall, this is a good not great value for the money.

We ordered three dishes last Sat. One is the pig blood soup which tasted funny. The blood tasted not fresh and we didn’t found out at there until we carried the left home and my mother told me that the blood was not fresh. Because the flavor of soup so strong that covered the bad smell of blood. The lamb meat is great, and other noodle is good and my daughter loved it. They need to pay attention on the quality of their foods.

Veg is pretty good. Good customer service. Tea tastes a little bit strange but was ok. Will come back and recommend to people.

Cramp quarters, but very solid Chinese menu. Mapo Tofu is excellent!

Hong Kong Palace is perhaps the most authentic Sichuan restaurant inside the beltway. My favorite dishes are the Chengdu bacon, Spicy Chicken and Potato, and their Twice Cooked Pork. Their Dan Dan noodles are also some of the best I’ve had anywhere.

I’ve never in my life had a restaurant delivery guy SCREAMING at me for being too far for delivery, I stated my address on the phone so if they didn’t want to deliver to me they should have said so. NEVERAGAIN!!!

I usually come here for my Szechuan & spice fix! Love the prices and the food is authentic! Try to order from the menu board on the side if you are able to read Chinese! I usually get the 水煮鱼 or the 水煮牛 and a ginger spring onion beef tendon for my partner that can’t quite deal with that much chill.

The food is always good. The service is always great. It is good for kids or to be at a bar. Atmosphere is good. The beer is even better. Everyone should eat here.

Between 3.5 and 4 for me. Good takeout chinese, with a pretty solid menu. Placed an order online which was ready to go when I arrived. The restaurant is pretty small, right near Bangkok Golden in the shopping center off of 7 right at seven corners. Favorites were the spicy wonton and spicy cold noodle appetizers, however the cold noodles were extremely salty the day after. The dan dan noodles were also good, maybe could use more sauce/oil, and the noodles seemed a little overcooked(lacking texture). Eggplant with spicy garlic was cooked well, but could’ve had more garlic and spice for me. The chicken broccoli and chicken cashews are good, pretty standard. Order everything very spicy, there isnt much heat anyway. Prices are good and portions are big, will be back for more takeout.

Came here once for lunch and a second time for pick up. Maybe I didn’t do this place enough justice by ordering Hunan beef, Hunan pork, and General Tso’s chicken. Really basic items but you would think that at least 1 out of 3 would be amazing; every dish was mediocre at best. The hunan dishes definitely had a spicy kick but the meat wasn’t as flavorful as other places and they had more of a «mushy meat» consistency. The General Tso’s chicken tasted more like sweet & sour, which isn’t what I was really aiming for. Someone please point me in the right direction because I don’t quite see the hype for this place; just an average Chinese take-out to me!

Not Cantonese. Rude wait staff. Mediocre food, and yes, ordered from the«authentic» Chinese menu. One of our party asked about less spicy dishes and received a very condescending reply: «Sichuan food.» Okay, well, consider changing the name of your restaurant since«Hong Kong Palace» doesn’t exactly connote Sichuan food. Chengdu Kung Pao was probably the best dish of the lot, but the chicken seemed low quality. Bitter melon and beef was very bland, and a chow foon ordered for kids was not actually pan fried. Chewing the beef felt like chewing a rubber band. Dumplings(fried) were passable, though too doughy and without flavor. One of the kids put it best: «The only thing I really like here is the rice.»

One of my favorite restaurants in the DMV. Very authentic, wildly mala-spicy, and a confusing name(that probably makes this place a secret gem… that I’m now writing about). We’ve ordered pretty much everything, but our favorites… mock goose app, Sichuan string beans, mapo tofu, stuffed peppers dry chicken(the leftovers in the morning make *the best* Sichuan garbage plate). No frills, and no Cantonese food(really? Yes, really). For outstanding Sichuan… this is the place.

Solid take out spot. The food is always fresh and it is the one of the few Chinese take out places where I will eat fish or pork. Specific dishes: Egg rolls, fried chicken w/dried chili peppers, and Mapo tofu are all very good. People rave about the Chengdu Zhong spring dumplings, but I found them to be a bit bland; I prefer the Spicy Wontons. Dan Dan noodles had good flavor, but I didn’t love the noodle to sauce ratio(Not enough sauce!). Two caveats: –Utensils and napkins are never included, so be sure to ask. –Unless you’re prepared to wait 20 – 25 minutes, be sure to call ahead or order online. On a particularly busy night a couple weeks ago, I waited almost 40 mins for two entrees.

Seven Corners generally has good restaurants but I’ve come here two or three times within the span of eight weeks. The food is good and well-portioned for its price. Place is good for family-style dinner although ironically, the restaurant is a bit small so space is tight, especially for groups larger than 4 or 5 people. A lot of the dishes listed on the menu is Szechuan style(spicy). I particularly like the Fish & Bean Curd w/Spicy Sauce. The eggplant w/hot garlic sauce is also very good. However, as good as I find the dishes, everything is cooked a bit too oily/greasy for me. I would recommend coming here but would personally not come here more than once a month, at most, only because nothing beats real home-cooked Chinese food.

I do not understand why this place is rated so highly on Unilocal.The duck skin was crispy but the duck itself was dry and tasteless. We also ordered the cumin lamb. The lamb was so deep fried that I couldn’t tell if it was lamb or some other type of meat. I felt like there was more onion and green pepper than actual lamb. The name of this restaurant is rather deceiving. I would expect Hong Kong cuisine at a place called«Hong Kong Palace». But most of the items on the menu was Szechuan inspired. I didn’t appreciate the service. Our waitress was not friendly and came across as rude and hastily at times. She didn’t provide any recommendations or asked us how we were doing during our meal. It would have been nice if our tea pot was refilled while we were eating.

Went here because I was in the mood for Chinese and saw the positive reviews. It was a Saturday night and pretty busy, although it’s a small place and there were still two big tables open. The waitress wasn’t particularly friendly or patient, which was a little frustrating because I’m not a Chinese pro, as I’ve never been to China and haven’t eaten a lot with an experienced eater. The food was fine. The dan dan noodles were light on the meat, which made eating them a little boring. I felt that the fried pork dumplings could use a little umph, or thinner dough. However, the szechuan beef was pretty bomb. It came with cook carrots and squash that had been julienned and mixed in. The mustard greens hit the spot, although were nothing to write home about. I like that the tea is free and they give oranges at the end :) Lastly, there men’s bathroom could use a good top to bottom scrubbing.

Mapo tofu + spicy wontons to go… I’ll have to deduct 1 star or more for staff not providing eating utensils or napkins when I can’t wait to eat in my car while driving home! The wontons were kind of meh. I prefer the ones with hot oil and the peanut sauce. There wasn’t a whole lot of flavor in the actual filling either Mapo tofu was quite good, although it’s my first time having this dish. Mikey Chen from youtube prepped me quite well and I was prepared for the numbing part… or was I? Everytime I had a portion, I had to rest my mouth for a while because I couldn’t tell if I was having an allergic reaction or feeling the numbing peppercorns! Now that’s dangerous eating! But it’s all good :) I might be back for the mapo tofu but so far it’s not a life calling or anything.

The first thing to note is that the place market itself as Hong Kong Palace and you walk in and see deco with Hong Kong image, but the place actually does not serve Hong Kong cuisine. The Chinese name for this place is actually Chengdu restro. Chengdu, which is the provincial capital of Sichuan province in Southwest Chin. The food is very different from Hong Kong cuisine, which is Cantonese cuisine from the south, much lighter. Chengdu food is hot, fair bit of spice, and chili. Having said that, it was an interesting experience, and the food is not bad, but I cannot have it as often as Cantonese food. From a diet point of view, it is much more oily. The chef in this restaurant seems to have a few favorite ingredients, red pepper, turnip, celeries and onion, which I found in all three dishes I ordered. They were tasty, but slightly oily for me. This place is like you step into a small restaurant in Chengdu in China, so it is authentic. All serving staffs speaks Mandarin and English. The Red Chinese sticker menu on the wall does not appear in the English printed men — Sorry! They are more adventures than the English menu. Go with a Chinese friend if you like to try something you have not had before, i.e. like Deep Fried Pig’s Intestine… I had Beef Brisket in Beer Sauce, Cumin Lamb and Homemade Style Tofu. They are not bad, but oily. I will go back may once in a while. I ordered a Scallion Pancake but it never arrived, and I was not charged, so it was ok. Definitely authentic Sichuan cuisine, but NOT Hong Kong cuisine.
