2023-10-24 08:02:32This Chinese restaurant had delicious food and amazing service. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the prices were reasonable. I highly recommend trying their spicy Szechuan chicken and their homemade dumplings. Overall, a great experience that left me wanting to come back for more.

2023-03-02 03:33:50Hongs Gourmet in Saratoga Village is a great authentic Chinese restaurant. All the food options are very flavorful. The pineapple fried rice was served in a carved out pineapple. The lemon chicken, sesame chicken, were both nice and tinder. The service was fast and friendly and the beer was cold. I couldnt have all for a better dinner. Kud friendly, fish tanks, appetizers and deserts for all. Great restaurant

2023-02-27 22:25:36After a disastrous experience with their service, my wife and I decided to give Hongs Gourmet another chance. We’re glad we did! The food was just as good as last time and the service was considerably better.We sat inside for lunch. The spacious and colorful interior is a work of art, with soaring ceilings, flowers, and interesting architectural details. There were only a few customers, and we were all seated in a cozy side room with a nice view of the street.We decided to forego the lunch specials so that we could share my wife’s favorite classic Cantonese dish Moo Goo Gai Pan. The thinly sliced, tender chicken breast was poached and then sautéed with mushrooms, snow peas, and carrots. I prefer spicy Sichuan dishes but I thoroughly enjoyed this. The generous portion was more than enough for two.We added the dinner combination with steamed white rice and chicken salad. The salad had iceberg and romaine lettuce and small pieces of shredded chicken breast mixed with nuts, sesame seeds, and vermicelli and tossed with olive oil. It was a nice take on a typical Chinese chicken salad and easily shareable.We started with a serving of four veggie spring rolls, which were served with three different sauces (mild, hot mustard, and chili pepper). They were crisp on the outside without being greasy.We wanted to try their Wor Won Ton Soup so we took home a large order. Wor means “everything” so the soup had shrimp, BBQ pork slices, and veggies in addition to the ground pork dumplings. The chicken broth was flavorful, the ingredients were tasty, and the soup was a meal in itself.This family owned restaurant will celebrate its 25th anniversary in 2023. Based on our latest experience, I’m raising my rating from three to four stars. We’ll definitely go back.ORIGINAL REVIEW (8/11/2021)Delicious food. Terrible service.My wife and I had dinner at Hongs Gourmet restaurant last week for the first time since the pandemic began. Their food was as tasty as always but we never experienced such awful service.Hongs is the only local Chinese restaurant where my wife can find her favorite classic Cantonese dish Moo Goo Gai Pan, and it was as good as she remembered. I enjoyed their flavorful and tender Mongolian Beef, spiced just right. Overall, the ingredients are high quality, the meals are skillfully prepared, and the portions are generous. The spring rolls and battered prawns on the combination appetizer plate were good, but would have been much better had they not been delivered lukewarm.Service was a complete disaster. Our server was poorly trained, totally inexperienced, and absolutely clueless about standard restaurant protocol. She couldn’t figure out what we wanted when we asked for “a glass of ice”. After multiple requests, she eventually brought an ice bucket. Dirty dishes were left on the table when we ordered dessert and were still there when it was delivered. Our pot of hot tea never arrived “because someone else took it.” That’s unacceptable.We’ll probably return for takeout just to get their excellent food, but we can’t recommend Hongs Gourmet for restaurant dining.

2022-04-02 15:57:57The Peking duck and fried chicken with basil were both outstanding. 4 stars only because the service was awkward and the ambience was a little uncomfortable. We will try again just because of the food, though.

2019-12-09 01:37:09Hongs Gourmet is a hidden gem in the quaint lil Saratoga downtown! We havent been to a nice Chinese place in a while, so decided to try Hongs, and we are glad we did! As soon as you enter the place, you are impressed with the grandeur. Over Lunch, the restaurant wasnt too busy, and hence we got a wonderful table with lots of light and view to the street outside, looking at the fall colors! Our waiter was an old but amazingly warm and polite gentleman, who took great care of us. The service was excellent! We ordered Salt and Pepper Eggplant, which was just delicious, with subtle flavors, highlighting the Eggplant inside. This was excellent over the slightly hot, Hot and Sour soup that we had just wrapped up. Next we had the vegie Chowmein, with Kung Pao Tofu. While the Chowmein was fine, the Tofu had great flavor and texture. We spent a good couple of hours, enjoying the food and the service, and felt very welcome. We look forward to coming back soon.
