On the outside, hong long looks like any Chinese take out. One of our friend lives around the corner and recommended we give them a try.
It just happened yesterday we stopped over my friends house after work and I decided to call them for delivery for dinner. We had a total of 4 adults and 6 kids.
For dinner we ordered general tso chicken, sesame chicken, chicken lo mein, subgum wonton entree, steam shrimp dumplings and a small hot and sour soup. The nice lady over the phone indicates my order qualify for a free 2 liter soda. I told her we don't drink soda and can we have 2 free egg rolls instead. Without hesitation, she replied, 'of course'. A plus in my book.
I usually judge a Chinese restaurant by their hot and sour soup. If the hot and sour soup is good, their food usually follows. When I opened the pint of soup, the aroma was evident. The consistency was not too thick and the color looks about the same as others I had. The big difference for this soup from others is the amount of ingredients. The soup is loaded with veggies, big chunks of tofu and bamboo shoots. It had a good balance of sour and spicy, although I like a little more heat in my soup.
Both general tso and sesame chicken were both crunchy on the outside and tender inside. Flavor was also very good. If you like a little more heat on your chicken, I recommend asking for hot oil on the side.
The lo mein was also very tasty, although it's a little too greasy for my taste.
The shrimp dumplings were good. I like how their dumpling skin is less doughy compared to other restaurants.
Overall, I would say Hong Kong is a pretty good chinese take out. It's no where near authentic by any means, but their flavor profile and the price point make this restaurant a good option. -

Delicious take out meal! The wonton
soup is SO good, big wontons and lots of them! Could have used more broth, honestly. A must have. The egg foo young is awesome with savory gravy. Chicken and broccoli was fresh with yummy sauce - rich and dark with just the perfect amount. The fried rice was just meh. It was more like just rice with a few veggies in it, not a good variety of them and no egg. All in all, a great meal. Well done, Hong Kong! -

Found myself in Columbus, NJ, after a court appearance in Mt. Holly, the county seat of Burlington County. This building is right in the center of town and looks to have been a bank in the past. It is mostly takeout, but there are a few tables (mostly taken up by the owners' kids) for the brave souls who prefer to eat while the food is hot.
The Sesame Chicken was above average. Although the amount was somewhat less than given in most other Chinois houses, the breading was not overly thick, and the sauce was actually pretty good. The Fried Rice was full of pork, peas and a few other veggie pieces. I liked the dish.
Most appreciated was the curtsy to hospitality provided by the real plate on which the meal sat. It was a pleasant touch to get away from serving in-house customers as if they were taking lunch with them. I don't like eating out of Styrofoam when seated in the restaurant. The small extra cost of washing a few dishes is nothing compared to the sense that the other places really don't want you around. The front of the house woman was friendly and engaging as she watched over her kids and the shop.
While Hong Kong Restaurant is still a Sino/American house with standard menu, their effort to provide a welcoming touch to their operation goes a long way. -

I order here alot not only is my food done on time every time it is delicious . I would say for a Chinese food spot they are a little more expensive the other places like it but it's the only one in town so it understandable and I wouldn't let that be a reason to knock it down a star.

The duck was imitation duck not the real thing. The fried rice was good, I was just highly dissatisfied with receiving a pricey fake version of duck.
