Reviews for Hong Kong Restaurant (Harvard Square) in Cambridge, MA

The best Chinese cuisine in the Boston area, period. I've been a loyal customer for almost 25 years. Hundreds of meals later,... I've never had a bad experience at the Hong Kong. The wait staff, especially Sandy, are never less than wonderful, and thefamily, for whom the restaurant has been their pride for almost seventy years, are a joy to talk with and support. HarvardSquare has changed plenty over the years. It truly wouldn't be the same without the Hong Kong. Read more

Authentic stir fried beef rice noodles Hong Kong style. Great service. A bit too greasy but hit the spot.

Excellent food and drinks . Took my girlfriend and she was impressed along with me . Thank you HK .

My girlfriend showed me this place a couple weeks ago, as she used to go here a LOT when she lived in Cambridge. I was astounded... I hadn?t found the place before, as they are some of the best Chinese food I?ve had in Boston, if not the best, especially forthe price. The orange chicken is solid. It contains a lot more meat per piece than most places, and the flavor was excellent.The portion sizes are massive for the prices, and I?ve been very impressed both the first and second time I?ve gone here. Idefinitely will return. Even if I wasn?t impressed by the quality of the food, the price for the amount you?re getting is VERYgood. I would rate them 6/5 if I could. Read more

The restaurant service and food was fantastic. However, we decided to check out the upstairs bar for karaoke night. The bouncer,... NED, was a nightmare. To put it in perspective, we are Harvard parents who had friends in town. We were obviously not there tocause any problems. To start, NED would not allow my 22 year old son in law in the small bar, because he is British, and wouldnot accept his ID card. He demanded a hard copy of his passport. He does not typically carry his passport around so he had to gohome. NED then proceeded to harass our group for no reason at all. We tried to take a picture with the Fireball bar mat, becausea close friend of ours died unexpectedly last week, and we were toasting her favorite drink. NED abandoned his post and tookthe sign from us. He had an attitude as if we had vandalized the property. There were 6 of us. He stared us down for all 3 hourswe were there. One of our friends was standing up on the foot rest of her chair, to have a better view of the dance floor, andNED randomly came over, grabbed her arm, and said, "we don't pay medical bills here." It was bizarre, but she sat down,dumbfounded by the strange comment. A few minutes later my wife proceeded to the dance floor and stood on a stool, that wasplaced in the middle of the dance floor, and NED grabbed her arm and said, "if you get on there again, I will escort you out."She firmly informed him that she was not at all worried about him and advised him to stop putting his hands on 50 something yearold women. After that, he made his way back over to our table and started to clear our full drinks! He picked up my beer, whichwas half full, and started to walk away with it. I told him that I was not done with it and to put it down and leave us alone.He set it down, made a crazy, angry face and started clearing more of our drinks. I told him to get away from our table. I haveno idea what this guy's problem was or why he was targeting us. I am a former bartender, and Read more

Not sure what the other reviews are talking about. The food was fresh, delicious and the portions were more than enough. That?s... coming from a guy who slams two chipotle burritos. The service was fast and they were polite. Read more

Good food, great portions, excellent service.. great value too! Will definitely continue to come here again! P.S. the fried... banana with powdered sugar is to die for if you still have room for dessert! ?? Read more

The service was nice, and the staff were friendly. The atmosphere had low lighting which I wish was brighter. On the whole, the... food was good for a fast food Chinese style restaurant. I enjoyed their eggplant in spicy sauce, their spicy dry green beans,their egg friend rice, and their vegetable tempura. The tempura came with an apple sauce for dipping which was unique yetdelicious. The fact that this place is open late is really nice. I recommend if someone wants an affordable meal that will fillyou and make you feel warm on a cold day. Read more
