Food was delicious. I ordered 1 item combo plate. The chow mein was thick how I like it and the mushroom chicken tasted great. I did go before noon so everything was fresh. The ladies that helped me were nice.

TL;DR - $14 for rice + chow mein + any two sides I've been coming here since the day I learned to walk. It's probably the only chinese food I really enjoy in Santa Ana. My favorite go-to meal is white rice + Chow mein + Jalepeno Chicken + Peppermint Chicken 😋 Edited - 1/15/2024

This was my first time eating here as ive eaten at a different hong kong express and their food is always delicious! The food I received from this particular one this time was way too salty. The hot chicken wings were good though. The fried rice, chow mein and orange chicken was the saltiest of those item ive EVER had in my life. Dont think i will eat here again. For what its worth the food looked great....tastes fresh and they are EXTREMELY generous with their portions!

I came to eat here a few days ago and my experience could've been better, I think! Service was quick and the woman working was fast with her hands. Too fast it seemed, because she missed a piece of metal string that was served alongside my food. I don't know if it came from the chow mein or broccoli beef, but a string from those steel sponges was mixed in my food. The beef was pink in some places and cold at the corners, the chow mein tasted stale but maybe that was just me, I also ordered agua horchata and it had a funky taste to it. I lost my appetite half-way through and ended up having to throw away the food, unfortunately. (except the broccoli, that was bomb) Overall, for my first experience, it was pretty poor and I probably won't come here again. Maybe in the future I'll give it a second chance though!

This particular location I won’t recommend. Westminster location is much better & portion is 3x of what u get from Panda Express, but I think Panda taste a little better.

Food was cold, orange chicken was stale. They packed my 3 item combo into a 2 item food container that clearly wouldn't fit. Owner gave me dirty looks when I ate my food inside my car outside the restaurant in the parking lot. This how they treat thier customers who just gave them business. Will never return here again.

Owner is very rude . Every time I come in to eat here he is yelling while he looks at me sitting down eating . I don’t understand Chinese but he sure does look like he is talking negatively. Very disturbing and disrespectful to treat a customer .
