REVIEW: Hong Kong Buffet

I had dinner tonight at the Hong Kong buffet. I'd been craving Chinese for about a week now, but my wife has not felt well enough to go out. Tonight she convinced me I should go there myself and take care of my jones for Chinese food.

You have to judge a Chinese buffet on a whole different scale than placing an order off the menu to eat there or take out. I've been to places that do great Chinese food when you order off the menu but have buffet food that is barely edible. This is where the Hong Kong buffet is definitely a step above the rest. The buffet food there is consistently hot and fresh.

My favorite entrées were the Sesame Chicken, Kung Pao Chicken and the Mongolian Chicken. But the real stars for me were a couple of "sides". I love the Hot and Sour soup there. It is some of the best I've ever had. You know it is good when your nose starts running halfway through the bowl! I also really enjoy their Chicken Egg Foo Yung. It is very light and not at all greasy like I've had at many Chinese restaurants. The brown sauce to put on it is also perfect... just the right consistency and not at all over-powering.

The service was prompt and just right for a buffet. My drink order was taken within a minute or two of when I sat down. I was asked during the meal if I needed anything else and the check was left at my table when I went back for seconds. That is important for me... nothing irritates me more than waiting around for a check after I've finished eating.

Overall I thought the Hong Kong buffet compared very favorably to other Chinese buffets I've visited.

Oh, a special note for the Bluesman who will be checking in with an "MSG!!" any moment now. The bottom of their guest check says "Low Cholesterol - Low MSG". So there you go.
