Hong Kong ain't Half Bad

Though it may have a fast food appearance, the Hong Kong Chinese restaurant in the Hunting Hills Plaza (next to Frank's Pizza and Subs) is something a little different. It is actually more upscale than fast food, though not a cloth napkin kind of place either. The prices are a little higher, but the food is also higher quality.

It was another unadventurous lunch. I had the General Tso's Chicken and my wife had the Sesame Chicken. The lunch portions are a bit smaller and somewhat cheaper than dinner. Though our orders were some of the more fool-proof choices, one can never be sure. We were pleased to find our meals were quite good. The chicken pieces were freshly fried and covered in generous portions of sauce; both sauces were well done. Each meal was accompanied by a side of fried rice, which was average and didn't have any added ingredients.

Overall, the food was a bit above average as was the ambiance. The prices weren't terrible and the service was top notch. I'm likely to eat here again, especially as it wasn't nearly as crowded as the surrounding eateries. If this last point should happen to change, I suppose I can live with it.
