Hong Kong House Restaurant Oshawa

Been ordering here for many years and there was a reason however, something has changed and not for the better. The food was cold and tasteless. The beef low mein was 95% noodles, hardly any vegetables and they were undercooked. Chicken fried rice was underwhelming, needed to add soy sauce for some flavour, sweet and sour pork had an odd taste and the egg rolls and chicken wings were again, flavourless.

yikes. The rice has a burn smell and taste to it. The chop suey literally has no seasoning, its bland, i probably wont order from here again. This was my first time, and probably my last time unfortunately. Who serves rice that is burnt?

I decided to treat myself to the Chinese food I was craving, and ordered from Hong Kong House while I shoveled snow. It arrived just as I finished shoveling, and I ate it right away. I ordered from this place to try it out, and because it was the cheapest. One of the apps offered a good deal, so I went with it. Now, I kind of wish I had gone with something different. Overall, the food was fine. It’s paint by numbers Chinese food, and nothing stood out. I ordered the dinner for two, but chose the variation that didn’t have spareribs because I don’t know why anyone would want those. The only other option was a vegetable dish. Well, that was unfortunately mostly giant chunks of broccoli and a few other vegetables like a couple small pieces of carrot, a couple slices of onion and a few pieces of bok choy. This is something I’ve noticed with A1 Delights. That is, restaurants filling takeout containers with massive chunks of broccoli because it’s cheap. I don’t know about you, but I don’t think of a whole tree of broccoli when I think of Chinese food. I ate a bunch of it, but didn’t love it. I could’ve made that at home for $2. The rice was plentiful, but had little taste. The chicken balls were big, but a bit tough and underwhelming. Lastly, the egg roll was fine. It didn’t stand out. I didn’t have a way to pick up from Golden Pine, and was too cheap to order from Family Wok. The reviews were good for this place, but I’ve learned a lesson.

When I say this past experience was an utter disappointment, that's an understatement. We've been ordering here for years and always ask for the spicy beef noodle to be not too spicy and have never had a problem. This time, it was way too spicy for us to even muscle through. I called and the receptionist (very sweet girl) apologized and said that they recently changed their sauce because most of there clients didn't think it was spicy enough. I asked if it was possible for them to remake it and she went to ask. I could hear him yelling at her through the phone that I ordered it and I didn't say not spicy. So obviously she came back saying that he won't remake it and just next time ask for no spice. When I asked what I'm suppose to do with the entire thing of noodles I can't eat, she apologized and said it was out of her hands, he said no. So I asked to speak with him. He got on the phone and repeated the same things back to me and asked how is he suppose to know how spicy people want it. I had put a note not too spicy but he insists I should have said no spice at all and that it's not his problem. I explained we've been coming for years and this is the first time we've had a problem and since they changed the sauce how was I suppose to know it would be spicier then usual. Not sure how yelling at a customer solves anything, it's unfortunate because the food is delicious but we won't be ordering again just based on his atrocious behavior. I really hope the receptionist finds a new job, she doesn't deserve that treatment.

Best takeout American Chinese food in Oshawa. Heals the soul. And still at a fair price when other restaurants have increased their prices way up. There’s even free parking which is rare in downtown Oshawa.

Ordered from here yesterday for the first time, was very pleasantly surprised with the quantity, freshness and quality of the food... We ordered chicken fried rice, beef and broccoli, pepper beef, Cantonese chowmein, sweet and sour chicken balls and general tao chicken.... the chowmein had beautiful fresh green veggies including broccoli and bok choy (many other restaurants use celery as a filler) it was also topped off with a very generous amount of meat... the beef and broccoli and pepper beef dishes also had a decent amount of meet and fresh not soggy veggies... the general tao chicken had a really nice kick to it and meat fresh... this will certainly be our go to restaurant when ordering Chinese in Oshawa.

We picked up some lunch combos for supper. Excellent food, great prices and large servings. Had leftovers the next day as we could not eat it all. Have been going here for decades and the new management is doing well!
