Delicious authentic food and there were a lot of people eating in and ordering takeout on a Friday night

Amazing food, everything was cooked to perfection and came out hot & delicious. I had ordered from here before multiple times (food has been consistently awesome since my first visit in 2021), but this was my first time doing dine-in. The inside was classy and felt welcoming. Our server was lovely - it seems from reviews that she is one half of the couple who runs the restaurant. I hope to keep coming here as long as I'm able to! Here is a list of the food we had: pu pu platter; shrimp egg foo young; eggplant in garlic sauce; beef lo mein. No complaints whatsoever - everything tasted amazing!

Super-reasonably priced (most dishes are $8.95) and delicious Chinese food with nice smoky and authentic Wok flavors. The restaurant is run by a friendly eldery Chinese couple, the service is fast. The menu is not too large, and the dishes have distinct flavors. Lunch specials include soup. The restaurant itself is very clean, and one can spot the owner brooming and sweeping all the time. During our visit, a larger Chinese family had a birthday party, and they obviously enjoyed the food a lot - which speaks for itself. We will come again!

Great Chinese food in New Jersey! Flavourful and tasty. I’m surprised by some reviews here saying the food is bland —I wonder if they ordered white rice or I’d be concerned about their taste buds. The orange chicken is delicious, cooking style is similar to sweet and sour pork where the chicken is deep fried with a crispy batter before coating with a sweet orange sauce. The owner suggested reducing the sugar level for the sauce as we prefer something more savoury. Taste was well balanced and chicken was juicy. Soup was great. Love the crunchy noodles that came with the meal, they were freshly deep fried and didn’t taste stale. The batter was also lighter than other shops which made it a great snack. Service was warm and genuine. We would definitely return if our travels bring us back to New Jersey.

The owner Mr. Chung is super nice and we spoke Cantonese! Authentic Hong Kong food! We have lunch there on Saturday and Sunday! Highly recommended! * Come back again after two weeks. Feeling so good.

The salt and pepper pork chops I had at the restaurant were absolutely divine, with a perfectly crispy exterior giving way to tender, juicy meat. Each bite was packed with flavor, from the savory depth of the pepper to the subtle crunch of the salt. The seasoning was expertly balanced, enhancing the natural flavors of the pork without overpowering it. The aroma was incredible, making my mouth water just thinking about it. Overall, it was a truly delicious dish that left me craving more.

Honestly Hong Kong garden is so good. Probably the best Chinese food I’ve ever ate. The owner was super sweet and nice. We were served tea and wontons with duck sauce as a lil appetizer. It was very good. My boyfriend and I enjoyed everything we had. It was really authentic soup and had the perfect consistency, flavor and texture. The kung pow chicken was delicious and perfeclty spicy and I had veggie fried rice with it, the rice was perfect. My significant other had a noodle egg dish with chicken and it was delicious. 20/10 would recommend to anyone to try and go here.
