Hong Kong Restaurant - Crossroad Shopping Center, 901 Carpenter Road

My friend and I arrived and were seated promptly waited about 5 minutes when server came over and took drink and appetizer order.

Appetizer - Deep Fried Cream Cheese Wontons - reasonable wait, very light and fluffy had great flavor.
Rating - 4 Stars

Entree - Garlic Chicken - comes with pork chow mien and pork fried rice

Pork Chow Mien - greasy, little flavor, and it had a residual burnt popcorn taste like the wok was not cleaned after burning popcorn in it and then cooked the chow mien. Rating - 1 Star

Pork Fried Rice - dry and bland needed lots of soy sauce and pepper to cheer it up. Rating - 1 Star

Garlic Chicken - where do I start, Ok typically I only review one entree, but need to review both here so you understand. I had Garlic Chicken, my friend had Orange Chicken.  Both dishes included the same chicken and a flavored sauce poured over it, yes poured over it, not even tossed in a wok to evenly coat to, chicken dropped on plate and sauce poured over.  The garlic sauce had full slices of garlic in it  (see picture) and was an odd brown color. The flavor was ok if you took the larger slices of garlic out.  My friends orange chicken tasted like pancakes with maple syrup on them. It's not a good thing when you wish that you had more of your appetizer left as that was the best part of the meal. Rating - 1 Star

Service - wasn't great yo have to ask for refills it's not automatic. Rating - 3 Stars

Overall Rating - 2 Stars - the only reason it got 2 stars was for the appetizer and average service, this will not be a place on my list of top places to eat out at
