I’ve only eaten the General Tso’s chicken and rice but it is done perfectly. It’s got a little bit of crunch without being soggy. It’s quite a bit for the price too. The large is humongous. I would eat here every day if I could. I’ve even converted my co-workers who now eat it all the time too.

Food is always hot & very tasty. I'm from Chicago, and this is one of three Chinese take-out restaurants I visit. Memphis has very few good Chinese food locations. I also love this location because the prices are fair & affordable! More

I have been looking for a neighborhood Chinese food spot. I've decided to check out all the places near my house. This was my first stop. It is a whole in the wall spot on Jackson Ave and in my opinion, the whole in the wall spots usually serve the best food. Too many to name up and down jackson and Summer Ave. I ordered the shrimp and chicken with broccoli and white rice. Two spring rolls that were great. It was really good. I am going to go back and try the sesame chicken and combo fried rice. This will be the meal I order at each place to judge. Anyhow, already can't wait to go back.

Food is great everytime service is fast. The prices are affordable for the amount of food you get. The only downside is the lady that takes the orders can have a very rude tone and sometimes if seems like she's just telling you whatever you want hear when asked a question.

If 4.5 stars was an option, it would be the operative move here.
As pictured, Big Hong Kong is clearly not a misnomer. The portion sizes are gargantuan. I ordered a quart of vegetable lo mein, and a quart of mixed vegetables with garlic sauce, and I have enough food to comfortably provide four to six meals.
The quality of the food is also there. The lo mein was flavorful and loaded with carrots, broccoli and bean sprouts. The mixed vegetables had a very spicy component that seem to be a red chili pepper sauce. The restaurant will also adjust heat based on your personal preference.
I will definitely be returning. I only docked the score half a star due to the fact that there was a considerable delay in order placement. However, the service was otherwise great. In the future, I'll be ordering take-out over the phone in advance. And I plan to order frequently.

I was referred here and it was a no for me. The food was fresh and hot and they give you so much but taste wise I don’t feel it’s worth the drive, time, or money. It wasn’t all that bad just wasn’t what I expected.

Stopped here on a whim and the food was really good. This was my first time eating here and I ordered the beef and broccoli dinner plate, the orange chicken dinner plate and a shrimp egg roll. The plates came with chicken fried rice and chicken egg rolls. Although the wait was a bit long I would definitely recommend coming here if you're looking for a decently priced chinese food spot.

Exactly what I wanted from Americanized Chinese takeout. General Tso chicken was nice and crispy, egg rolls were great too. I have attached photos of the menu (as of September 2022) for those who, like me, had a hard time finding a menu online to place an order.
