Hong To Chinese Restaurant

Pretty good Chinese food, the two sauces I tried, sweet and sour and sesame, were very flavorful. The chicken was alittle greasy. One of the better Chinese places in the area, the staff was very friendly.

Chicken Almond Ding was fantastic, flavorful sauce, lots of bok choi (my fav) and water chestnuts, great veggie egg roll and wonton soup. Have enough left for two more meals. We got dinner for two — friend had Chicken Subgum Chow Mein and we shared both dishes. BBQ ribs appetizer were great. Waitress was attentive. Definitely going back!!! Finally a local Chinese restaurant with REAL Chinese vegetables instead of just broccoli and peas and carrots. Can’t wait to have the leftovers tomorrow!

My mom started taking me to Hong To way back when it was in the old shopping plaza — and while the location has changed, it is still my favorite Chinese food in the area for years. From time to time you can tell when they switch recipes /​vendors — but it has remained consistent and delicious!
I do prefer Hong to for take out instead of dine in — Only because the atmosphere isn’t my cup of tea. The restaurant is nice and clean, but dim lighting and dated décor are not preferred over the comfort of my couch!

Been going here since I was a kid! Always the best everything!!! Egg rolls, chicken chow main, wonton soup. Favorites all around!!!

I used to eat lunch here in the late 90’s and it was quite good. Between 2000 – 2010, I know for a fact they started using Mexicans as cooks. Some of them bought parts from me. Tonight I called and asked if they still used Mexicans as cooks. They assured me not. Part of great Chinese food is the chef’s technique in the creation of the dishes. I asked if the recipes were the same as the 90’s and the lady said «yes, same owner». We were excited to know this and placed a large order. To get to the point, I’ve had Chinese cuisine from New York to Toronto to L.A., and this, without a doubt was the poorest excuse for the cuisine as I’ve ever had. Their fried rice was way too salty and dry, the egg roll like a salt lick itself. Lo mein was stuck together, tasteless dry mush. The fried dumplings were over cooked and like chewing on leather. The hot sour soup was like pure vinegar and super starchy. We actually ended up throwing the whole order away. Even the fried noodles were stale. This restaurant just doesn’t care anymore. Save your money and stay away from this one.

Good food. I especially love their chicken fried rice. Hong To’s the only place I’ve been where the fried rice actually has the toasty complex flavor that comes from proper preparation, i.e. fried at high heat. Every other place I’ve ever visited makes this dish almost as an afterthought: steamed, mushy & tasteless. Portion size is good, service is cheerful and fast. Prices are reasonable.

I love Hong To! After experiencing less than thrilling Chinese food for months my boyfriend and I tried Hong To and we haven’t gone anywhere else. Their fried rice is superb, it’s exactly what you expect from fried rice (veggies, bean sprouts, eggs, etc) and I seriously dream about it at times. Their egg rolls are also amazing, so crispy and fresh even after the 15 – 20 minute drive home after I pick my food up. Their lemon chicken is a bit greasy, just a warning, but when you’ve had a long, bad day at work sometimes greasy is what you want. Definitely give Hong To a try!

Wonton broth was awful and the fried rice looked like Spanish rice, and tasted like neither.

Walked in to worship music playing which I loved. Cute little place. Waitress was nice and inquired when I was due for my pregnancy! That was a first from a stranger. Tea was yummy. Wong tong soup delicious. Sweet n sour chicken great! Good prices and portions too! Definitely will come back.

Hong To is about as good as it gets. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because the restaurant is deserted when we go there. They do a huge take out business. The servings are huge, hot and reasonably priced. This is not a chain which is a plus. I highly recommend it.

Ew. Got the family meal for two with Governor’s chicken and pepper steak. Everything tasted like it was reheated. Definitely not cooked to order. Chicken breading was soggy, pepper steak was really tough and bland and the sauce on the ribs was weird and overly sweet. The chicken wings were really fatty. Ever thing except the egg rolls was really gross. Never again.

I’ve been going there for years and the food is absolutely delicious. Good portions for cheap prices. I especially love the sweet and sour chicken and wonton soup.

Fabulous deals. The portions are extremely generous and food is prepared so quickly yet maintains freshness. The sweet and sour chicken along with the ribs and crab ragoon are always a classic!

It pains me to write this review. It’s hard for me to give this rating to any restaurant, but it’s also hard to find a restaurant that is this bad. Please save your money. This food was absolutely terrible. We ordered the sesame chicken (all white meat). The breading was almost like a hushpuppy, flavor wasn’t great. Also got the szechaun chicken and cashew chicken. They were both bland.
The only good things were the fried rice and the egg drop soup.

One of the best Chinese restaurants I’ve been too — fresh, reasonably-​priced food with good service. They just need to open a location in Mentor now!

We’ve found this reasonably good in the past but it seems to have lost some of its freshness lately.
