Hong Kong Express

My favorite Chinese food! It’s priced so well and quick. I’ve lived all over, and whenever I’m away from the area, I miss Chinese food from this place.

This place is my comfort food when I’m visiting home. I remember skipping school to come here and eat egg rolls (that’s what everyone does when they skip school, right? LOL).
This is «Detroit-​style» Chinese food, mind you, so if you grew up somewhere else it’s going to be different from what you’re used to. No one makes it the same as they do in Detroit. For example, the dish Almond Boneless Chicken (a/​k/​a ABC, a/​k/​a deep fried with gravy atop a little sprig of iceberg lettuce so you can pretend you’re eating vegetables) is crave worthy and unmatched anywhere else. Cashew chicken, shrimp lo mein, egg drop soup … big fluffy dinner rolls that are a Chinese culinary non sequitur, but just go with it. The name of the game here is carbs and fat. Everyone wins.
Everything is just the best. I miss you so hard, HKE.

Really great Chinese food, good portion sizes. They are also very reasonably priced. I love that you can order online here.

Recently moved to the area. I’ve tried three different Chinese spots looking for the best one. Ugh, I’ve had so much bad Chinese food during this experience that I wasn’t expecting much. But to my surprise, this place was on point! I’m not a rice fan but I shrimp fried rice came with my meal and it was pretty damn good. I like to order a variety of things I like, so I got Sesame Chicken, it was different, when I opened the box I thought it was sweet and sour chicken because it didn’t look like the norm. Im used to seeing a dark red sauce and the chicken being completely covered in it and the chicken being cut in squares. Instead the chicken was it in strips and the sauces was like squirted lightly over the chicken. But it was very good. I also order Shrimp Egg Foo Young, that was very good and Sweet and Sour Chicken and that was ok. The Egg Roll was good too. Overall, I’ve found my go to Chinese spot. A little further than I’d like to travel but the food is worth a 10 minute drive when I’m in the mood for Chinese.

The best wonton soup ever!

Hands down the very best egg rolls I’ve EVER had!!! I tend to get Veggie Lomein and it’s always delicious!!!

Ok food for a Chinese restaurant… not really authentic, but what can you ask for more from a corner Chinese joint? Best part is that when every other restaurant is closed on Christmas day, and you need something to munch on after like 50 beers, you can rely on good old Hong Kong Express…

Hong Kong Express offers take out chinese to the hungry folks in Waterford. I typically order either the General Tso’s Chicken when I’m lookin’ for something a little spicy, Almond Boneless Chicken when I’m looking for something rich in gravy/​fat, and (forgive me if my memory is going the wrong direction here) Cantonese Chow Mein with chicken — yum. The first two options come with combination platters for a reasonable price (under $ 7 last I ordered). The Cantonese Chow Mein is a pint/​quart type thing and a side of crispy noodles comes with it to pour the wonderful chicken/​celery/​etc. on top.
Very friendly counter help — and a quick turnaround on most evenings of about 10 minutes for your order. I highly recommend Hong Kong Express when you’re jonesing for some chinese food in a hurry — maybe during halftime of a Michigan football game, for example. Go Blue!
