Hong Kong Express

The food is very good and the hot and sour soup is the best!

I went here twice and I thought the food was lousy. I found it to be greasy and just not very good. Never went back. The Hong Kong Buffet over by Bella Sera/​Food Lion in Edgewater is way better.

The food is pretty good, but I won’t go back because of the attitude of the service. Always at Chinese restaurants I have to ask if the egg rolls have shrimp in them because I have a serious shrimp allergy. And — at every place I’ve been to up until this one, the server has been very understanding about it and have substituted an equal priced item (or I paid the difference). I wanted to substitute the vegetarian spring rolls for the egg rolls, and pay the difference, but she insisted that I would have to order the spring rolls separately and pay full price for them in addition to the combo meal (which included an egg roll). She said the egg rolls have beef and shrimp in them. So — if you are a vegetarian you’ll run into the same issue here as I did. If they had more of a customer-​focus and less attitude, I’d be a regular customer.

The one star girl is a character. 3 paragraphs of backstory before the actual review. Lol. It’s not awesome, but it’s not horrible. Eat it if you’re in the area. Very clean and very friendly people.

Solid– this is what you should expect from a joint called «Hong Kong Express.» I enjoyed my General Tso’s, fried rice, broccoli, wonton soup, and chicken wings. The soup and food was served HOT– just how I like it! Not the greatest I’ve ever had, but great for the price! My lunch entrée was $ 5.95! I will return!

One of best Chinese in Annapolis area. Very friendly and good service.

I avoided this place because I thought it was like those pseudo Chinese places in food courts that serve things like bourbon chicken. When I walked by the place they had menus placed outside the door so I picked one up. I realized then, that this place was more like a Hunan House in Parole with just as long of a menu but a much smaller storefront.
Bored from lunch time sandwiches and salads, I thought what the heck, I will give this place a try. Now I gauge an Asian restaurant on different merits than I see many other people do. It never fails to amuse me when I read a review that goes as follows «the food was excellent, probably the best General Tso’s I have ever had».
Well I never eat the general — not ragging on those that like it, it’s just not my cup of tea. So I decided to go with an order of vegetable spring rolls and one of the Chef’s specials «hot crispy beef». Description was «shredded beef cooked with carrot and spring onion in chef’s special sesame sauce.» Now I know key words in this cuisine like «crispy» usually mean deep fried, but I was hoping I was wrong.
The hefty serving was not drowning in sauce and was comprised mostly of beef with only slivers of carrot and onion Hmm, potential? Yeah well that went out the window on the first bite. All I tasted was sweet. Cloyingly sweet. Heat? None. There was some sort of coating on the beef as well, and it did not taste like it was made minutes before. No amount of sriracha sauce or Chinese mustard could take away the candy like coating resonating on my tongue. The spring rolls, poor things, looked like skin that had never seen daylight. Lesson learned. Listen to my inner Asian voice!

Tucked away in a new shopping center between a GNC and an orchid nail salon, this is my go-​to when visiting my parents who live near that area. It reminds me of the old Hunan Express in Gambrills before it changed owners in 2007, the food was as if they took the original chefs of Hunan Express and their recipes and placed them at Hong Kong Express. which were amazing and also has dishes that are Mandarin, Hunan and Szechuan. This area is finally expanding out of steakhouses and fast food choices and adding coffee bars, places like Stan & Joes and different sandwich and asian/​mexican restaurants
The menu has everything from «Pancit”/ Chow foon, Yat Gai Mein, a long list of specials, soups and a eclectic selection of other items that you don’t regularly see on every other menu you browse through at strip mall places in suburbia. They even have lobster egg foo young!
This is a dine in and carry out business, the dining room could easily fit 35 – 40 people has TVs for all the sports games, is casual and it’s clean and the staff is really polite and service is fast! (20 minutes on a weekend is great!) and they are always busy when I walk in (which is a great thing, for a restaurant)
The only minus is no delivery service and sorry no sushi but, plenty of places to go in the area for that
I would definitely recommend this place for locals who have gone to that buffet place down the road. you need a change. change is good
