Hong Kong One

foul.
Tried it for dinner on Wednesday night. We split the Almond Chicken Dinner, well, I mean we meant to split it but ended up throwing most in the garbage. The gravy was nearly flavorless. The fried rice had nothing in it except for soy sauce. Not a single veggie, scrap of egg, just nothing.
The duck sauce was the most bizarre thing. See, they seemingly add tons of water to it. Talk about tacky and pathetic.
The cashier was friendly.

The best and the waitress is very professional. The food is always hot and ready when I call in ahead.

Standard chinese take out atmosphere. Very friendly staff. Disappointing food. Orange chicken was bland and spongey, fried rice tasted reheated and burned. I won’t order from here again.

Wow what a disappointment. This used to be my go to place for good old «American» styled Chinese food. It was the only place I could find Moo Shu pork and enjoy! I haven’t been here for a while but seeing the reviews posted here gives me pause for concern. I’m giving it 3 stars because the Moo Shu was really, really good. I always ordered extra pancakes to go with.

Okay been going here for years… same menu. needs improvements gotta add more dishes and lower prices on some items… I love the way you can see them make yoyr order. dont like how you see them using bare hands on my food. yikes…cmon now mr miaggi we can do better.

I love carryout Chinese food… nom nom nom
I am very happy with this place. I call ahead and it is ready when I get there. I have ordered from there about 10 times so far… with many more to come !!! Things I have had so far and liked are: Almond Chicken, Lemon Chicken, General Paul’s Chicken, Pepper Steak, Gai Kow, and Szechuan Beef. The only one thing I ordered and not liked was Ribs with Garlic Sauce. The very best about this place, besides getting combo means for the 6 to 8 dollar range are the egg rolls. I love egg rolls and theirs are the bean sprout king with shrimp… not the cabbage. and an awesome deal for 4 rolls for under 3 dollars !!!
P. S. I liked the hot-​n-​sour soup too :)
Two Thumbs Up !!

I have been here three times for different combinations, and everything every time was meh. There won’t be a fourth

This used to be my favorite Chinese carry out when I lived in Ferndale, I even went there for a few years after I moved. It was inconvenient but the food was worth it, at least for awhile. And then things went downhill. I got raw chicken TWICE and when I called to complain they said they’d give me a free meal the next time I was in. They didn’t offer to deliver a replacement despite how dangerous raw chicken is. The overall disappointment in quality, safety and customer service made me stay away for good. I suggest you do the same.

Can I give less than one star?
I recently moved to Ferndale from East Lansing, where we have several good Asian options, but sadly I have yet to find someplace near my new home for decent Chinese food.
The crab Rangoon was reminiscent of an unwashed two-​bit hooker. Orange chicken is both bland and textureless. The beef with broccoli is halfway decent, but only compared to the other dishes, not compared to typical carry out Chinese in general. I’m kinda scared to even consider trying the egg drop…
In summary, don’t go here. Please, don’t do it.

I will start with the good. Quick, (you know «10 minit») and the service was friendly. HOWEVER, just down right recycled grease and nasty! After reading all of the reviews here, I settled for the garlic chicken and shrimp lo mein. These seemed to be the common likes. The garlic chicken had no flavor and was filled with more water chestnuts, bamboo shoots, and celery than anything else. The flavor, is what I will call «standard Chinese gravy», seems to carry through several dishes. As for the chicken, if you don’t mind the flat restructured white meat well then you may be happy. The lo mein was thrown out… I couldn’t even swallow it. I have a refined palate, I know that. But there is a boundary when it comes to the way so many American’s have become accustomed to eating. Large quantities of ANYTHING will suffice. I mean this broadly so not to be insulting. If you want to stuff yourself into a catatonic sleep, then you will be happy here. Otherwise if you would like to eat some decent Chinese, I would suggest Wing Garden in Oak Park on 9 mile. Much better.

This place should be renamed to «The best damned chinese food in Ferndale» I seriously love the place.
Their Vegetarian soup and Rice are both spot on. The Buddha meals are great for a striving beer drinking bachelor such as myself. It will generally feed one person twice for about $ 8 bucks.
The staff has always been super friendly.
Sure this is your run of the mill Americanized Chinese fare, but they do it right and they don’t try to act like they are doing it any other way.
I definitely recommend it if you just want quick carry out and often bring my friends here when we are indulging on some serious beer drinking and Madden Football sessions.

I rode past Hong Kong and saw the $ 3.95 lunch special list. I figured I’ll try it because I was in the mode for sesame chicken. I wish I would have followed my first mind & grabbed a bowl of soup. The sesame chicken looked along the lines of almond chicken in a pool of sweet & sour sauce (YES, I ordered sesame chicken). All the sesame chicken I have eaten had red colored sweet yet spicy sauce on it. This sauce was nowhere near right. The chicken was white meat I thought until I separated the soggy corn starched breading off of it and saw an unusual dark spot.
On to the rice, well you pay $ 1 extra if you want anything besides the pork fried rice. I don’t know who eats pork fried rice with chicken, which is probably how they make there money with a $ 1 up charge. I asked for veggie fried rice and it was covered in soy sauce, burnt (yes burnt) vegetables. The veggies (corn, peas, green beans) all looked like they came out of a bag of FROZEN Green Giant bag. I could have been okay if the rice was burnt.
The egg rolls are the normal shrimp egg rolls (greasy as heck).
Crab Rangoon (yes I had a craving for stuff) — weird to say the least. I have never seen crab rangoon that looks like a mini calzone (half moon shape). It was bland, no sweet taste anywhere. Not sure if it was the cream cheese or the seafood smell that hit me when I took my first bite. But it was not good.
The vegetable soup is actually ok. It is a broth and has baby corn, mushrooms, bean sprouts, onions, bok choy, and carrots in it. The pint is worth the $ 1.35 they charge. I originally was going to order wonton soup, but the wontons have pork in them.
I ended up tossing my lunch in the trash after a few bites because I couldn’t stomach the lack of flavor in the sauce or the low budget meal. It is carryout only & I wasn’t about to drive back there and waste more money in gas than a $ 10 refund. I guess I expected too much for a reasonably priced establishment.

If you are in a hurry and want Chinese food that is served fast, tasty and inexpensive, then Hong Kong 1 is the place for you.
The food is basic Americanized Chinese. They offer old school favorites, like almond boneless chicken and sweet and sour pork.
My favorite combo is a small egg drop soup and a small pork fried rice — nothing hits the spot better than this combo.
Another of one my favorites is the 4 egg roll special for $ 2.00 (perhaps a bit more) — a mini pig-​out fest! Sometimes a man has to indulge his inner-​porker.
This is a take-​out only restaurant.
Overall, the food is good and staff is friendly.

ok I am plump and i love my chinese food… american versions and authentic… this place falls under american style and it sucks
Hot and sour was ridiculously sweet not sure if they thought the sugar was salt… almond boneless was dry and gravy had the flavor of Elmer’s glue… told me the dumplings were homemade but they were the ling ling brand you can buy from costco… oh gosh this place sucked…

A little disclaimer: Stuff has to be really bad for me to give a one star. To me a one star rating means that I rather poke myself in the eye or eat broken light bulbs than return to a certain establishment for their fine dining.
With that being said… This was my first time ordering from Hong Kong One. I was definitely in the mood for some Chinese take-​out, and since I was staying in Ferndale, this seemed like the closest option that was open on Sunday night. I’m thinking that the reviews on Unilocal sound good and I could do with some greasy, run-​of-​the-​mill take-​out. If only I had the experience like the other reviewers. I ordered a Hot and Sour soup (which I was excited for because it was a veg base) and a shrimp dish (Kung Pao). The kung pao was decent but lacked any spice or flavor whatsoever. The only good part (and usually my favorite part of) the dish was the peanuts, thats not saying much. But the soup? Oy! I imagine that the cook in the back said, «Oh noes! We’ve run out of Hot and Sour soup. But wait, lets just replace that soup with Sweet and Sour sauce.» The soup had this consistency that was quite unappealing and tasted just like sweet and sour sauce. And for dessert, I had a nice sore stomach for the rest of the evening!
I’m hoping that other dishes at this place are good, but truthfully, I will not be back to try them. I may have to stick with my favorites in the F. Hills like Empire Dynasty (where the Hot and Sour is amazing and pork-​free) or Gourmet Garden.

I’ve eaten Almond Boneless Chicken all my life. And NO ONE, no one, has better ABC than this place. It’s crispy, filling, and delicious, and will beat the socks off any comparable place on price and flavor. The other food is decent (meaning that I’d eat it if I was hungry, but nothing too memorable), but since I get the ABC 99.99% of the time, this place is one of my favorites. If you’re looking for authentic, straight from the homeland Chinese, go to Golden Harvest, East Lake, or Shangri-​La. Otherwise, it’s this place for cheap, fast, and good.

With a tag line «Where Livernois ends and Hong Kong Begins», how can you go wrong?
Alright, so Hong Kong One is set in a strip mall on 9 mile right next to a dry cleaner. It is a take out only restaurant. No tables, just two benches and a crusty fish tank. The food itself is good comfort food. I put it under my «it’s so bad it’s good» umbrella. I got the veggie low mein and it was salty goodness not to mention piping hot! (heat not spice). I’ve been there three times and have only ordered the low mein. I’m a creature of habit when I find something I like. The veggies were a mix of fresh with the canned tiny corn on the cobb thrown in. The people who own the place are always nice and pleasant. I’m sure I’ll be going back.

Chicken fried rice and crab rangoons are my comfort fod — yum! Not much else, though…
