Restaurant: Hong Kong Garden

Since the time Golden Pheasant changed owners and recipes, we were looking for another Chinese restaurant that could equal our demised old favorite. We found a couple of restaurant that not only equaled our old restaurant, but surpassed it in flavor and cost. The only drawback about these two restaurants were the distance we have to travel to eat great Chinese food. We had to find a closer solution.

My wife and I remembered about the rival restaurant of Golden Pheasant named Hong Kong Garden. We went there once with friends to sing karaoke, drink and try some of their dishes. The restaurant was on the same street and a block away from Golden Pheasant. I remembered how the food tasted and when my wife requested we eat there, I said okay. I also remembered a friend at work telling me he liked HKG than GP since he liked the noodles dishes better.

On our first visit, my wife ordered fried rice, sweet and sour shrimp and Hong Kong style chow mein. The fried rice was debatable, the shrimp was rock hard, but my wife loved the chow mein. On our next visit, my wife discovered boba, a tea drink with tapioca pearls, and Chinese sausage with vegetables. We have tried other dishes when we dined there and the result were mixed. The cost of the food was pretty high that it sometimes give my wife sticker shock. The taste of the food still out weigh the cost. We keep on trying, knowing that they may stumble on some dishes, but they have really good food. They still have a huge menu that we still have to try.
