Hong’s Chop Suey Take-Home

Hongs is the BEST! The food is always fresh and best of all they are consistent. We always order the lunch special. The portions are better then generous. I and my husband always have enough for lunch the next day! The family that owns this place remember us when we order and we are always greeted with a smile.

My family got together this past Sunday and discovered Liangs is closed on Sunday (which was fine for me since I wanted pizza). So we ordered take out at Hong’s for the first time. Since I’m not big on Chinese food and I was out voted (the toddlers even voted against me, how dare they since I’m their fav!) I had to settle for Egg Fu Young (which I hate), shrimp fried rice (how could you not like it?) and Beef Peking (I think). The last dish mentioned had stringy noodles (cooked well on the side) with beef, shrimp, scallops, chicken, broccoli, carrots, herbs, and chives/​onions in a brown sauce. It wasn’t the best but decent, although the rest of my family didn’t care for that dish very much but raved about the Egg Fu Young.
It may have helped to serve the noodles already mixed in but meh… maybe not. The highlight of this meal was the shrimp fried rice, it was a complete win! But last night I went back and tried the jumbo fried rice and asked if they could make it a little spicy. The spice level was fine but it just didn’t taste the same as the one I had that Sunday prior. It was fried harder, looked darker, and not as fresh tasting. What gives Hong’s? The shrimp was plentiful though. If out voted again on food choice and I try this place again I will stick to egg rolls and regular fried rice but I hope I don’t get outvoted next time, I would almost always prefer pizza!

I am so glad that I found this restaurant 2 minutes away from my house… because I love Chinese food I go there at least once a week… I tried other places in the area but I did not like their food… this place has delicious food and it’s very affordable

I order here so much that they know the sound of my voice! Quick and good customer service! They recently updated their counter, if you haven’t been in there in a while. I say their beef fried rice is the best I’ve ever had!

Very good take out. Great prices with the lunch specials. That you can get after lunch hours for a buck more. We go every couple of weeks when we don’t feel like cooking.

They have very good Chinese food here. I typically order the orange chicken and egg rolls which are both very good. It’s unfortunate that they don’t deliver or we would probably eat from there a lot more often. There are not a lot of options in the area for Chinese and you won’t be disappointed with Hongs.

A coworker recommended that I try it. The food was bland.

Ok I admit; is been a few years ago that I’ve ordered from this place. It used to be great or have my taste buds really changed that much? Ordered shrimp fried rice and pot stickers. The rice was tasteless and the pot stickers were doughy. Yuck. I can’t tell you how to prepare either of these dishes but I would expect some ‘love’ to be put in my meal. It was as if they didn’t have all the ingredients to prepare either dish. If it weren’t for the fact that I lived so far away I surely would have returned it. I regrettably had to trash $ 15 worth of food. It was that bad.
The staff are really nice people but if you don’t frequently visit an establishment either you forget what things taste like or they don’t know what you like. I just like my meals prepared with love. That means adding some spice or onion or garlic. Whatever. Now that’s not to say that other dishes aren’t delicious. I may have ordered the wrong thing that time. Perhaps. But I tell you that I probably won’t be back for some time. I will stick with my standby. Want to know who it is? Check my other reviews.

I have been eating Hong’s since it was down further south on Western in Park Forest.
This is she of the best Chinese take-​out you can find in the South Suburbs. GREAT fried Rice, general Tao chicken, Crab Rangoon, and egg rolls. Their egg foo yung is also very very good. Can’t beat their prices either.
Word of advice. Order the lunch specials. There is PLENTY of in one to float 2 people. Also, get the shrimp fried rice with extra onions and sprouts to kick it up a notch.
