I went here to celebrate and get a bite to eat with friends and family on a Saturday afternoon after graduating. The place is fully packed and it was a little hard to find parking on the gravel paved parking lot. The food was authentic and delicious, especially the shrimp dumplings that you can get from dim sum on the weekends. The only drawback from this restaurant was that almost all of the dishes have msg and shrimp in it, including the soy sauce; however, it was relatively easy to order foods to be made without either. We also had to wait for a bit to be seated, since the restaurant was packed with other Asian American locals, getting their early Mothers Day grub on. It would have been probably better to have made a reservation beforehand. Overall, I would definitely eat at Hong Kong Chen Chinese restaurant again!

I spent $36 dollars on 2 entrées and 2 dim sum dishes. My main gripe is that the volume of food was lower than I expect from a Cantonese restaurant, but the taste of the food was very low quality and flat as well. I could have gone to downtown Durham and bought two delicious $17 dollar entrees instead, and regret coming here on a recommendation. They cut the chicken feet in half and I fear that they included less than the regular fare of three chicken feet in one dish. The chicken clay pot was mainly a heavy sauce and vegetables, leaving an empty feel in my stomach afterwards. The beef chow fun was fine, but the fourth dish, the Lotus-wrapped rice with chicken, only came AFTER we finished eating and when we were ready to pay the bill. A late dish is fine during busy hours, but they should have warned us of the delay.

It was a super cold day I was freezing I went in for tea and soup it was horrible. And I am no critic of food my wife has to give me a stern look to keep from eating fries on the floor McDonalds so for me to complain about food. Wow. In their defense I do not think either the hot and sour soup which was not hot and sour soup it was a egg drop soup with extra cord search a mushroom and something orange to make it spicy and sweet their won ton soup was salty and brother and their egg drop soup was still gelatinous I dont think any of the three soups that I had were actually made in that kitchen I think they were store-bought and presented poorly but if you cannot serve any soup good Im not willing to risk my pallet on any more of your menu.

I had been here several times and I admit that the foods are good. However, I am not so happy about thier way of treating customers. Yesterday, we spent over an hour sitting their but we barely saw any food coming. The people took 20 minutes to bring us a pitcher of water. When we asked for certain food, they literally refused to bring it- not even apology! This is one of the busiest place in the area, but that does not mean they should not care about customer service. I am really not going back there again.

The worst costumer services I ever had, because after a while I been waiting for my food and i just asked to the waitress how long it take? The owner yell at me with reason. Its make me so mad. the owner she is so rude. Food take so long to get done. I just been there this noon (September) it made me piss off. I suggest not to go there, if you hate bad service. This the last time Ive been there.

The building itself feels very outdated and took away from our dining experience. Im not a huge stickler on having fancy, up to date decor; though this place did bother me. The food was not memorable, though that is good in a way. It wasnt bad, though not exceptionally good. If youre in the area, give it a try, though I would not recommend making a special trip for this restaurant.

Amazing dim sum place! The actual restaurants exterior and location dont match the quality of the food, so dont be dissuaded from stopping by! My Chinese friends highly regard this place as the best dim sum in eastern NC. They also have weekend cart specials which I was told resembles authentic dim sum restaurants in Asia.

Overall this place offers very little value for the money - even though it is rather cheap. Got some soup to begin with. It had some chicken in it that tasted bad. Got some chicken as entree too - basically no taste. All in all a terrible experience. Paid a total of $12.98, excluding tip - it was not worth it at all.

Great food... You can always tell by the spring rolls if the place is the real deal... and their spring rolls are made from scratch.. Their Beef & veg, Chicken & veg w/ Hong Kong noodles is really good. As for their Dim Sum Its Great.. The Owner Bruce very Friendly guy, and seems to enjoy cooking up some great food.

I heard their Dim Sum Sundays were great, but havent gone since I was so turned off by regular Chinese food Thursday. This is one of those places that seems to get their fried rice pre-friend and pre-frozen, with tasteless shriveled peas and a strange yellow hue that cant be explained by any natural additive.

I am super surprised that the restaurant can still survive! Extremely poor customer service. Average lead time between ordering and starting to eat is more than 15 minute. No smile, friendly tone or greetings. Food quality is also becoming worse! Worst Chinese restaurant I have ever had

I came here whenever I am in the area. The dim sum is god and I love the food here. I have come here many times and they still make a few items for me even thought they are no longer on the menu. But even if they did not do that I would still come here a few times a month.

The food we had as takeout was delicious. It took a little longer than anticipated, but the price was good. I dont see us ever eating in the dining area, but that certainly isnt a deal-breaker. Rice, soups, spring rolls, and mainstays would all be recommendations.

This restaurant has excellent food and the although the place is small, the service is amazing. There are typically waits on weekends, but it is worth it. It has authentic chinese food and the price is not expensive. I would definitely recommend this to others.

Great dim sum place! They have quite a wide enough set of options and its not too expensive. On the side note, it is a really popular place so if you are unlucky you might have to wait on the line outside for quite a while.

Fantastic food! People wait a long time to get in at prime hours.... For a reason. Sunday Dim sum is the best in the area. Just look at the demographic of the patrons... You will realize the quality and authenticity.

The decor could use a bit of freshening up, but the food is absolutely delicious and the services is fast and friendly! We always enjoy going for dim sum on the weekends - it is definitely a community event.
