Really poor food. Last time we will ever order from here. Sesame chicken was in thick, mud like sauce and had gristle and fat on it. Moo shu chicken was supposed to have very little sauce but was drowned in a pint of tasteless liquid. Poor quality, poor value and there has to be better places that listens to you when you place an order.

It's 9:15 pm and I'm starving. I decide on chow mein and this place pops up on my campusfood.com account. I get my food at 10:45. I was exhausted and just wanted to go to bed, but I couldn't because I was waiting for the food. Then the guy that comes to deliver yells at me on the phone to come downstairs to meet him. Once I get there, he complains about me ordering because the restaurant was too far away, when it was clearly in the range of delivery that was stated. On top of that, the chow mein noodles, were just crackers and the meat was undercooked. Needless to say, he did not get tipped very heavily.

I only got an eggroll to go but based on that experience I will never go back. I should have known better when it took the guy about 45 seconds to walk to the back and get the eggroll meaning it was definitely pre-cooked. Soggy, flavorless, and not hot. Will never go back and suggest no one else does either.

I have ordered from so many places whether Chinese or not in Murray Hill and I have to say, this is the best value for money. I have been ordering for over 10 years now. If you go there, there is absolutely not ambience if you're going there w/friends. However, take out is great. They are always within 20 minutes of delivering food to me. The portions are good, it is rare that I am disappointed. I do stick to my favorites because they are tried and true---- beef with eggplant and lemon chicken. I do order the eggplant with less sugar and sauce because most Chinese restaurants douse the food with brown sauce. The dumplings (meat) wrappers are a bit too doughy though. Better to order it fried than steamed.

I order from here twice a week. It's more or less the same as every other Chinese place in the city, but a few bucks less and always quick. Try the duck.

I was really busy at work today so I didn't get a chance to think about lunch until 3pm. I finally order from Hong Kong Noodle II at 3:30. An HOUR later, my lunch comes. By this time, I am starving. I open up the container and take a bite, only to discover that they've sent me General Tso's chicken instead of tofu (I'm a strict vegetarian). By that time, I was so hungry, I didn't want to call them back, complain and wait for a new lunch. So I resigned myself to eating rice and scallion pancake for lunch. Except that the scallion pancake was covered in cinnamon and was rock hard so I only got about 2 bites in before I had to toss it. The saving grace of the meal was that this place is so cheap, they gave me like 4 pieces of chicken and filled the rest of the container with rice so I ended up having a decent amount to eat.

I order dumplings that were not fresh. Chicken soup that tasted like water. And vegetable fried rice that hardly had any vegetables...
