Hong Kong City Seafood Restaurant

I got takeaway, the food was great and the portions monstruous, I had some leftovers for the next day :) What I really liked was the service, I forgot to add rice to my order, so I came back to get one rice portion, and the guy gave it for free. I'll definitely will be ordering from this place more often and hopefully when they open for dine-in I can try their soups

I made reservations at the Hong Kong Garden Restaurant 3 weeks out because they're hard to get due to it's exclusively. Everything was lined up perfectly, Who Bang Lee Lee was looking particularly great in her traditional Chinese evening dress and had mentioned more than once about happy endings. The Uber driver was right on time and took us directly to the Hong Kong City Restaurant...What I said "Hong Kong City Restaurant...supposed to be Hong Kong Garden" the Uber driver said...Same thing, have a good dinner, and drove off. Well, the Hong Kong City Restaurant was still pretty good, and 200 bucks less expensive. 5 stars. ☆☆☆☆☆

Food is always good and consistently made to taste each and everytime we order a dish we've had during a previous visit. The owner is very nice and is always busy at work either helping up front or assisting in the back. The pot stickers are the big juicy hand made kind, with quality ingredients. It's surprisingly hard to find a good quality one that's not solely at a dim sum restaurant lately.

Great food - every dish was good. Great service. Good size portions. We had a family lunch yesterday: West Lake Beef Soup, Salt & Pepper Squid (crispy, good flavor, a bit chewy), Fried Chicken Wings (Disappeared too fast to get a photo, Mom complained she only got one!), Mongolian Beef (tender, good flavor), Honey Walnut Prawns (good, Mom's favorite), Egg Plant w/Garlic Sauce (good, a bit on sweet side), Salty Fish Chicken Fried Rice (good strong salty fish flavor), and Hong Kong Pan Fried Crispy Noodles - Bok Choy Chicken. I've done takeout from here several times, but this was the first time for sit-down meal.The service was friendly and attentive. 8/27/2023 update: This place is still great. Since my first review, we've gone in for 2 more large family lunches (12-20 people) and 3 smaller (~4 people) dinners. Food is excellent and service is still friendly and attentive. Today we had: -Salt & Pepper Chicken Wings (椒鹽雞中翼) - no photo -Honey Walnut Prawn (合桃大) - repeat -Salty Fish Chicken Fried Rice (鹹魚雞粒炒飯) - repeat -Bitter Melon Stir-fried w/Beef (涼瓜炒 w/牛肉) - new -Sweet Sour Chicken (甜酸雞) - new

I’m not much in Alameda but their Hai Nam Chicken at Hong Kong City Restaurant was really good! Ginger sauce & peanuts tie up the whole plate! Worth coming 😋😋. On a side note, chairs inside the bathroom was funny! 😂😂 Will definitely come back again.

We arrived just before the dinner rush at 5 pm. Ease in seating, fast and kind service. Our server had a great sense of humor , which added to our trust and comfort. There was no rush to scurry us out, although the dinner crowd was arriving and any table was premium. Oh. And the food was delish . Spinach garlic greens are the best!

First time eating here and we enjoyed our dinner. Restaurant was clean, friendly staff, and plenty of space between seating. Had the Kung Pao Chicken, Beef Chow Fun, and Gai lan (Chinese broccoli) with garlic- everything was really good. Good size portions. Definitely looking forward to coming back.

One of the best Asian cuisine in San Francisco I have tried. No surprising decoration, but environment is clean, spacious and staff is nice and friendly. The foods are great in taste and ingredients are very fresh indeed.

Went here to celebrate my mom’s birthday and they were very accommodating. They let me bring a cake for a cake fee and let us stay a little over closing. It goes without saying that the food was delicious but going above and beyond by bringing us dessert plates and a candle is what will keep me coming as a customer.

New ownership has turned this place around. The food is very good, staff is friendly, service is quick, restaurant is clean and the prices are reasonable. Best thing to try, ask the owner, Ivan, to order for you. He will ask you your preferences/ allergies, and if you can let go and be adventurous, you will rewarded as he understands how to please hungry customers. Generally owners know how to order better than we do because they see what makes folks happy or not. Omakase, Chinese style.

The location is good. Parking is usually not a big issue. The food is good, and come and serve fast. Will keep trying other meun items next time.

I love this this very friendly and FAST SERVICE. With very good size portion. My favorite dish was the soup was delicious.

This is our go-to spot for quick and good food. Friendly and efficient service for both dine-in and takeout. Their food is consistently yummy. I'm particularly fond of their range of fried noodles. They also have rice combos, sorta like lunch specials but they serve them all day and is good value if you're ordering personal portions (vs family style). Highly recommend, especially if you're hungry and want good food fast.

Their Iced lemon tea is ICE COLD! That’s how lemon tea should be. They are fast and friendly. I always come back for their HK Baked dishes and family meal sets!

Fairly decent Hong Kong style restaurant /cafe located on Park Boulevard. Portions are somewhat hefty, and what we ordered tasted pretty good. The curry beef stew was my favorite. Other winners include their beef chow fun and Mongolian beef with rice. This isn't necessarily Panda express type of Chinese cooking. Service is friendly and efficient. Parking in the public garage next to the theater is free after 6pm. If you're in the mood for Chinese food, not Chinese American food, give Hong Kong City restaurant a try.

Great value in lunch specials. Bittermelon sparerib (sub egg rice with regular rice) was great. Mabo tofu was different; not used to tomato flavor there. I posted other dinner entrees which were great. Definitely a lot to try in the lunch options. Will be back when I have another HK craving

Dishes are fairly descent in terms of taste and volume. However, the regular waitress was pretty careless and ignorant. We often had to wait for a while before she came for taking the orders! In comparison, there was a lady from the kitchen came and actually served better!

Pros: 13.50 lunch; large serving for lunch menu; restaurant appears clean. Hot food cooked to order. Clean presentation. The batter for the sesame chicken was crispy. Cons: waited 10 mins after being seated to get water/place order; sesame chicken- poor quality chicken (more like like mush, no texture to the chicken), sauce was way too sweet like syrup with notes of gelatin. Neutral: no background music, elevated conversations from other customers.

We ordered the special dinner- 3 dishes and dessert. Unfortunately quantity over quality prevailed. Huge servings but the food was pretty tasteless and undercooked.

I was there for lunch today at around 1:00 pm. It was busy. Only one waitress and one bus girl. I had to wait for a table for a long time. Finally I sat down and no one was paying attention to me, not even a cup of water, for about 20 minutes. I asked the bus girl for a cup of hot water 3 times, getting the answer of " Just wait" 3 times. Rude and Not Nice. Please hire more people and pay them more.

The server was so nice to the older white couple who ordered food . She saw me waiting and took her time laughing and talking to her coworker . When she felt like talking to me she asked me how could she help and I advised a pick up order under my name . She got my bag order and placed it on a table for me to grab . She didn’t even walk it to me like other restaurants . She didn’t give me the same smile . She just dismissed me in a judgmental way when I spent $32 for one serving of rice and salt and pepper prawns . Service sucked , food was ok and the price is too much . Will never go there again

We went whit a group of students, the staff and owner where so mean. The food don’t taste good. Orange chicken taste like they put one pound of sugar. Never coming back. Mean people, mean staff.
