Hung Fong Chinese Restaurant

⭐️ Hung Fong San Antonio – Mixed Feelings, But Worth Mentioning Stopped by Hung Fong for a quick takeout fix and walked away with a tale of two dishes. 🥡 Shrimp Fried Rice This one didn’t quite rise to the occasion. The flavor felt a little flat—was soy sauce even invited to the party? The bean sprouts and onions gave it a much-needed lift, but overall, the portion was surprisingly skimpy for a main entrée. Good texture, but left us wanting more… in every sense. 🥚Combination Egg Foo Young (Chicken, Pork, Shrimp) Now this had promise. The patties were flavorful, and the meat trio played nicely together. But with three generous patties, the gravy situation was a bit stingy. Tasty, yes—but just a few ladles short of greatness It’s a spot with potential, especially if they can boost the seasoning and show a little more love with the portions and sauces. Would I return? Maybe—but I’d advised when fried rice is ordered advised them to not make the fried rice blonde but you like it brunette with soy sauce if at all possible.

Have been coming here for years. In the past this place used to have amazing and flavorful food. All of that has changed. I have always loved the decor of this restaurant but when you look up you can see a lot of water damaged and parts of the ceiling look like it's going to fall one day soon. Family and I dined in and ordered: -3 deluxe plates: 1. Lemon chicken and chicken chow mein 2. Lemon chicken and Mongolian beef 3. Lemon chicken and beef with broccoli Soups: 2 wonton and 1 egg drop 2 egg roll and 2 cheese rangoon - shrimp chop suey - order of Rangoon - 1 egg roll -8 oz to go sweet and sour Deluxe L.C. with chicken chow mein. Lemon chicken is always great here. The chicken is white and juicy. The sauce comes in a small cup and taste like delicious sweet lemon. Chicken chow mein comes with the crunchy fried noodles on top of chicken and veggies in a white sauce. It really had no flavor. Fried rice needed to be dressed with soy sauce and sweet and sour. Deluxe L.C. with Mongolian beef. The Mongolian beef had no spice at all. The flavor was a bit bland but the sauce tasted nice with the crispy veggies. Deluxe L.C. with broccoli and beef. There was barely any meat(which is fine) or water chest nuts but plenty of onions, carrots, and broccoli. The meat is sliced very thin and extremely tough and chewy. The veggies are crispy and crunchy. None of the items had seasonings. Shrimp Chop Suey is usually a hit. This time around all you could taste was salt. It usually comes with fried noodles but not this time. I am guessing it is an extra charge. We did as for some but never got any. Wonton soup bland. Just tasted like hot water and noodles. Egg drop soup no flavor even when pepper was added. Not even an egg taste. The consistency is nice and thick. Egg roll no longer has ginger in it. If it wasn't for the hot greasy fried wrap it wouldn't have flavor instead it tasted like greasy fried chicken crust, which is guilty pleasure of mine. Cheese rangoon has a strong onion flavor and I'm thinking they add like a crab flavoring because there was a small hint of that. The wonton wrapper was not crispy but soggy. Overall the quality and quantity has gone done and not worth the price. $89 before tip

Super great food and excellent service. No wonder they have been in busisness since 1939. I absolutely love their Fresh Hand Rolled Egg Rolls. Some of the best egg rolls I've ever had.

Haven’t been in this establishment in 15 years and the food was absolutely delicious just like I remember. Jeff was absolutely incredible. Very attentive and knowledgeable. Egg drop soup was absolutely delicious beef and broccoli is my favorite lemon chicken sauce is super tasty and I think the fried rice was absolutely the best. However the restaurant look wasn’t what I remember. It use to be fancy and so vibrant now it’s look so run down and sad. No music no smiling faces. I hope this place gets revamped. Amazing food thank you

One of the best chinese restaurants in San Antonio! 😋⛩️We got the orange chicken and lemon chicken/beef broccoli special, it comes with a free tea(dine in only)😍. Also tried their egg drop soup, pretty good👍🏻.

Our first time visiting and were very impressed with the food and excellent service. Our server Cecilia provided excellent service and guidance. We ordered the cream cheese rangoons to start off and they were delicious, especially when I drizzled sweet n sour sauce over them. It didnt take long for our meal to be served. I had the orange chicken and it was excellent. The chicken was fresh and very lightly breaded. The orange sauce was delicious and very generously covered the chicken. My husband ordered the Kung Pao combo, also delicious. The servings are huge, one plate easily feeds 2.

Hung Fong has a rich history of serving San Antonio for many years and I had to try their establishment again. It had been over 15 years since I ate here and today I ordered the Kung pao chicken with rice and an egg roll. My friend ordered a beef plate. I would highly recommend if anyone is in the area. The price is very good and the portions are HUGE.

Had orange chicken and a combination fried rice with chicken, pork, and beef. Also having a side of home made egg rolls. Everything was delicious. Loved the scenery.

We had a great experience at Hong Fongs. Cecelia was our server and she was the BEST. She was so nice and very accommodating. Ask for her when you venture out there. It is a much older building but the place was clean. I love going here every time we visit San Antonio. Lemon chicken w the sauce is the best. Please go visit. Let's keep this place going.

Got takeout tonight and it couldn't have been more unfortunate. Spare ribs that clearly had been sitting in a warmer for hours. Dry, flavorless, tough. Egg Foo Young covered in so much bland brown glop that it ruined the egg dish. Couldn't tell you what the egg foo was doing because it all tasted like old oil and brown garbage. Every portion of white rice was clumpy and dry. How has this place stayed in business for so long when actual decent Chinese exists in this city?

This is the oldest Chinese food in San Antonio so I had to give it a try. Upon entry you can tell the restaurant is a little dated but sometimes that's where the best food is made so it didn't put me off just yet. A goto for me is always orange chicken. Plates come with generous portions and the pricing is reasonable. The flavor of the orange chicken was a little different than I'm used to. I didn't get that citrusy spice but it was still pretty tasty. I loved the giant wontons that were served on top. Honestly probably my favorite part. It's close to my job so I may come back and try another platter.

The food quality is inconsistent. I and several friends have dined there several times and the food ranged from quite good to really bad. Service from servers was mostly fairly good. Ambiance reminds me of restaurants in San Francisco Chinatown

Located on Broadway, not too far south from UIW, is Hung Fong Chinese Restaurant. This is a Family Style place with a large quiet dinning room and staff who are friendly and service oriented. Choose from traditional dishes like Sweet & Sour Chicken which is one of my favorites, or the Beef & Broccoli is very good as well with plenty of succulent beef. Yum. Reasonably priced and great for the whole family. I hope this helps. As Always - Eat in Good Health.

Lunch was SO good! This place consistently puts out great food. I wish we lived closer.

We have eaten at Hung Fongs for years. Admittedly we have only gone there or ordered out about once a year for the past few years but in the past have always enjoyed the food. Not anymore... the combination fried rice was good and so was the Kung pow chicken but the egg rolls, lemon chicken and bacon wrapped shrimp were not good. The lemon chicken was burnt the egg rolls were greasy and the bacon wrapped shrimp was tuff and chewy. The sauce was awful. To be honest this may be the last time to have Hung Fongs. Maybe new cooks or an off day but for the money spent we were very disappointed.

Service was quick, food was hot, and fresh. The eggroll was nice & crispy (hot & fresh). No picture of the egg drop soup but it hit the spot.,Always an oldie but goodie.

The rice noodle soup here hits the spot when craving something warm and satisfying. The broth had a clean, savory depth (though I'd love a touch more herbal aroma), and the noodles were perfectly tender. Generous portions with fresh bean sprouts and basil on the side--nice DIY touch.

Do not let the "Voted best Chinese food in SA" sign in the front of the building fool you. This windowless building is definitely a time portal. The second you walk in the decor takes you back 20 years. Definitely a pass in quality of food for price. Fried rice and lemon chicken were bland. Water refills were non existent. It wasn't a good first experience.

This place never disappoints. Serving are big, prices are not. Staff is always friendly and courteous no matter how busy or slow the restaurant is going. The vibe is a family friendly style dining. Hung Fong has been around for a long time and I don't see them going anywhere as long as they continue to serve the great food and keep pricing the way they do.

The food here is amazing for Family Style dinning. My family has been eating here for more than 50 years! Amazing service and a unique experience for dinning. Best seafood in town!

Love their food and atmosphere. The service was great too. I love Chinese food and they know how to cook it

I've been goin to meet family and friends at Hung Fong for over 30 years. The food is traditional delicious. I will be coming back with family from out of town in the coming holidays. Good job to the service.

Service has seriously dwindled at this location. Andrew was the waiter "servicing" our table when we notified him the order was incorrect. We asked if it could be made correctly he became very rude and verbally abusive. He walked away because the situation started to heat up (on his end) and started talking with the Manager. When we approached the Manager We overheard the conversation, Andrew started telling him all this stuff that was inaccurate. We told the manager what transpired and the Manager still defended him after Andrew made a seen becoming loud and flipping us off in front of a packed dining room. All because we asked for our order to be corrected. Hung Fong's needs to remember who has kept their business going all these years. THE COMMUNITY! Treating your patrons in this manner is totally inappropriate and disrespectful. Hopefully no one else has to experience this. I can't even give a star, but I have too so it posts.

Greasy over fried egg roll Bland fried rice Mongolian Beef sauce bland, no spice Waitress refilled Pepsi with tea

One of my grandma's favorite restaurants. My mom loved the wonton soup. No crispies for the egg drop soup. We both orders deluxe dishes that came with choice of three soups, egg, drop wonton or hot and sour soup. It also comes with your choice of eggroll or crab Rangoon's. It comes with lemon chicken and then a different side dish. I chose beef and broccoli which is a little salty and mom had chicken chow mein, which was perfect. The restaurant also sells live bamboo plants and the bamboo plant food and also different jade jewelry and jade decorations, little sculptures and tea sets. Service was excellent, and they even offered to carry our purchases to the car .

This has been here forever since I was a kid it's just for typical Chinese American food, friendly stuff, great environment, been here for ages!

Ordered lemon chicken and beef n broccoli. Appetizer Rangoon came out first cold n hard My food came out way before my fiancés so I couldn't eat without him. Lemon chicken was amazing. Beef was bland no flavor rice was horrible it was yellow no flavor not even fried rice. Portions very small I would never come back or waste my money on bland food I can cook better myself from Heb products for cheaper.

Glad for the comeback. Lemons chicken chef's kiss!! Would have been a 5 but the egg drop was a tad gelatinous and the fried rice needs some work, other than that. Good food

I was only here because it was my friend's birthday and this is the place she chose. I had the beef with broccoli, and it was pretty tasty. It was a lunch special so it was also a great price. It came with a drink -- I choose iced tea and it was not bad. Our waitress was attentive and knowledgeable, and we had an enjoyable lunch amid a nice atmosphere. I would return here with my friend, although it would probably not be my first choice for Chinese food.

I love Hung Fong. There are so many mediocre Chinese restaurants around this town. Hung Fong has the flavors I like. The place is old for sure but that just adds to its ambiance. Try it.

Wonton or egg drop soups will never disappoint and the egg rolls are big and stuffed and so crispy and flavorful. I enjoy the lemon chicken it is tender juicy and crispy their fried rice has a good flavor profile and I enjoy ordering combination rice they have onion bean sprouts in there and I enjoy that. I also their their egg foo young the gravy is a brown savory gravy no sweetness to it which is how I prefer my gravy

We ordered Sweet and Sour Chicken. There was greasy chicken with 2 raw pieces of carrot and a few raw pieces of cabbage on top. One small container of sauce. The egg rolls were soggy and falling apart and had beef gristle in the middle. The Kung Pao Chicken was very little sauce and was just average. We were disappointed because we have ordered several times in the past. We will not order again.

Best Chicken Chop Suey and egg rolls. Usually order to go because the smell of cleaning products is very strong.

Visiting for the week and was staying within walking distance. My nephew and I walked down and ordered food. When I placed my order, I asked for pints and quarts of the items I wanted. The man at the register didn't tell me they only had one size to choose from. I asked for lo mein, General Tso's, and shrimp fried rice. I canceled the shrimp fried rice when I saw it would be over $50 for just those 3 items. We were given large to go boxes of the General Tso's and the lo mein. I sampled both and wasn't impressed with either. The lo mein didn't taste like the lo mein my sister usually gets either when we're back home in WV or at the place down the road from us here in Florida. It just tasted off. My 11 yr old nephew and I agreed that the General Tso's didn't taste quite right either, and he got very little rice with his order. For the quality of the food, it was quite pricey. I doubt I'll ever get around to visiting San Antonio again, but I definitely would not eat here again. Not a very good value for the quality.

The food was great. The service was fast and delicious. The ambiance is wonderful. Would recommend the restaurant.

We just celebrated our son's birthday here with a large group. The service and food was outstanding. I hadn't had Chinese did this good in while. We will definitely be coming back soon! Highly recommend!

Value and wonderful food awaits you and your family and friends. Never have been disappointed with anything I have ordered for over 30 years now and counting. I do miss the new year calendar though!

Good enough Close enough to the real thing Good service even when packed Decent specials and deals Sell all sorts of thing not just food Separate waiting room Additional dining room but it's so echoey, never again You have to yell to hear each other and way to loud Of course open for Christmas, expect lines out the door

I am at a toss up here. Here is my dilemma the customer service is good, very polite and go out of their way for you. The place is clean inside and all is good. The food!! No where close to Chinese food. I guess if I never been to China or any other Asian country I wouldn't know. Wait, wait, if I was out of the state of Texas I would think this was the worst place ever. Here is what I to say, I got vegetable lo mein that had chicken in it. Good thing I'm not a vegetarian! Second dish was General Tso Chicken which was extremely dry and like a breaded chicken that had sauce baked on it. Not appealing or good to eat. Lastly, was pork fried rice, that in actuality was yellow rice with pieces of ham and no where close to fried. I will say this was a to go order. I am not happy or satisfied, my bags were dripping with liquid that I couldn't tell from which meal. I gave the 2 stars because very kind people. I hope they read my review and look back into what the kitchen is doing. **UPDATE** I had to come back in to do an update. I do not recommend this place at all! My family and I had the worse night ever after eating their food. We had breakfast as we started our day and this Chinese food was the only other meal of the day. So it could not had been anything else. Plus what came back up was the Chinese food ordered. Today we are all still very sick with stomach aches. So, just an FYI... be prepared for a long night. In my opinion I believe the chicken was bad.

Food was great. I had not been there in 35 years. Service was average but the poor lady had a bunch of tables.

Just to be fair we order the food on uber eats after a long day of walking around the Riverwalk! So My review is only of the food.. But I have to say the food was super hot which I can really appreciate knowing this was delivery.. Mongolian chicken 4/5 delicious Combination Lo Mein 4/5 very good 2pc Hand Rolled Egg Roll 3/5 Overall the food was delicious but their was a good amount of msg because I definitely felt it in the a.m!

Me and my wife came here and we were kinda sketched out by the look of the outside of the building but inside is beautiful and the food is great quality, we got seated fast but of course it wasnt too packed and our food took no more then 10 minutes to come out, great service 9/10 i would definitely come back again!

What you are charged on the check may be more than what's on the menu. We ordered two lunch specials and the price on the check for each was about a dollar more than what was listed on the menu. The cashier seemed a little confused about it, but not surprised. He thought it was tax already added in until I pointed out that the tax was added again at the bottom. Food and service was good, but being overcharged doesn't sit right.

We have driven by this place quite a few times. Always wanted to try it. So we did. Spoiler alert, I did not take any pictures, but one. Sorry. The food was okay, we went at around 3pm when we got to the restaurant, so I am not sure if we got the lunch portion or the dinner portion. We started off with shrimp toast, very oily, but had a good taste, after o let it sit on a paper towel. Also got the cream cheese Rangoon were okay. My beautiful wife got the hot and sour soup, it had a great flavor, but we could not finish it cause it was spicy. She also got the lemon chicken. It was okay. I got the pineapple chicken, the sauce was good, better than the lemon sauce, but not by much. Portions were good, if it was a lunch portion. I had one beer, Lucky Buddha, never had it, so I tried it. Not bad, a light beer. Service was okay, somewhat attentive to our table. Atmosphere was okay, plenty of seating. Good for large groups.

Yum!! Highly recommend this place. The Lemon Chicken is a must try/get . We also ordered chicken lo mein, beef & broccoli, walnut shrimp, and egg drop soup. All recommended. The service is good, especially for being the oldest Chinese restaurant in Texas (since 1939!!). The ambience and decor is very homey and reminiscent of an old school Chinese American restaurant with the Chinese character blessings on the wall. Came here during December, so also enjoyed the Christmas lights around the booths. Overall 5/5 stars . Will definitely return if/when in town!

Hands-down the worst Chinese restaurant on planet earth. The utensils and dinnerware were dirty. The service was atrocious. The food was inedible. I posted some pictures of the soup and entree. The entree picured is Mongolian beef and fried rice. There is no need for detail in the flavor nuances. The food here is just downright bad. My wife and I ate here for the 1st and last time on Aug 4th, 2024. Whoever was cooking should be arrested, charged, and sentenced to eat what was coming out of the kitched for the rest of their natural life.

3 stars is the correct rating for Hung Fong. This is one of the oldest Chinese restaurants in San Antonio. At one time it was a diamond and everyone went there and tourist would be sent there from Downtown hotels. That is not the case today. It has been sometime since I have been there. I decided to spend the night in San Antonio as a staycation weekend. Decided to go there for dinner. Not a memorable evening. We were joined by three friends, all locals. All agreed, this place had fond memories for us, but it isn't the Hung Fong from years past. Don't know if the restaurant original owners sold or what. Our Server was very friendly and tried very hard to do a good job. The dining room was very outdated, worn, and dingy. Didn't look very clean. Same with the restroom. The famous neon flags on the ceiling were not fully illuminated anymore. Food lacked taste. Mongolian Beef was not spicy hot as it should be. The Hot and Sour soup was not spicy hot and lacked flavor. I had the Hung Fong shrimp. The shrimp did not taste fresh and seemed more like frozen breaded shrimp was used. The Hung Fong sauce for the shrimp was so spicy, you couldn't really taste anything else. The sauce came in a little plastic condiment cup with lid and was not even warm. We came on a Thursday and there were probably only 6 tables during dinner. I think the locals have figured out it isn't that good anymore and hotels do not send tourist. With such a small dinner crowd, it makes sense they would likely use frozen breaded shrimp. I will not return to Hung Fong. It is past its prime and it is depressing to see such a well known local establishment fade away from quality and taste. One good point was they did serve a lot of food. Unfortunately, I tossed my left overs, as after I returned to my room (I had a suite with a kitchenet) I decided, I didn't care for it when I ate it, why would I heat it up later?

It's not the best Chinese food in town, but it's very tasty. The portions are very generous. You get a lot of food for your money. I especially like the lemon chicken, egg foo young, and the egg rolls. Skip the soup.

Longtime patron of Hong Fongs, over 50 years... great food, my go to is the Hong Kong Style Chow Mein, loaded eith Shrimp, Roast Pork, Chicken with assorted veggies, I request it spicy to kick it up a notch. truly recommend Hong Fongs and there sister restaurant Ding How

We were warmly greeted upon entering a bit after 6:30PM. Directed to a booth we said a table is preferred and the greeter easily complied with our preference. Drink orders taken and promptly delivered. Reviewing the menu card, my dining friend had a long and difficult time making a selection - the waiter was very patient. Following the order of Shrimp & Broccoli and Chicken Kung Pao my water was refilled without asking as the busy waiter, Tyler, kept an eye on our table as well as the other tables he was serving. The surroundings were pleasant, clean and a bit stark. The room temperature was fine. The meals were soon served. I really like the old style stainless steel covered serving dishes. The cups of white rice were more than a stingy scoop - more than enough to accompany the meal. When my friend removed the top from the serving dish he was smiling. The shrimp were large and numerous! The serving of "Kung Pao" was also appealing and generous. However it was not Kung Pao - it was Jalapeno chicken in a brown sauce with peanuts. It tasted just fine for what it was - but it was no where near real Kung Pao. The Hung Fong owners must know their customers after running a restaurant in this location since 1939. Apparently this is what they think the San Antonio Tex-Mex tastes want rather than real Sichuan chili & peppers dish. I found the pricing to be reasonable, the service very good and the taste of the food, also good. As a bonus my friend was able to get another Diet Pepsi and then a to-go cup! The menu, while seeming to be extensive, is really somewhat limited. Possibly another wise decision by the family. Few pork items are offered and nothing exciting either. If one enjoys American-Chinese-American food then you must try Hung Fong on Broadway. Ample parking. Great lunch options.

Don't let the funky smell fool u coming in lol the food was great came out nice an hot and the service was great as well ordered a few plates to share around the portions are decent size to share with a few people got the lemon chicken with pork pretty good sesame chicken xtra crispy some egg rolls and the orange chicken everything was good

I'm thoroughly convinced they made the sign that says "Voted best in San Antonio" themselves. This place is absolutely trash. General Tsos chicken was garbage and my children wanted to vomit from their chicken fried rice. Please do not go here! I tried warning some fellow military classmates and they didn't listen. They deeply regretted that decision

Great food! Will definitely come back and loved the service! Ordered the lemon chicken.

Very bad customer service. Host was on his phone the entire time even when customers were waiting in line to be seated. Another staff member was talking negatively about customers right in front of them. Refused to seat us when our entire party was there because my great grandmother was walking slow and not inside the building even though she was right outside on the sidewalk. Then while I was speaking to the manager about the issue the host then started to talk about our party loudly when we weren't even interacting with him. He continued to talk negatively about us even while the manager told him to shut up he refused. Crappy workers that act like trash.

I must admit, I've lived in the vicinity of this restaurant for 4 years now and had not taken the opportunity to dine here until now. The outside of the restaurant doesn't appear to have windows and has an old school neon sign, so I was always skeptical, however this is definitely a restaurant you shouldn't judge based on the exterior. Once inside we were warmly greeted and promptly seated. It has a very cozy and nostalgic feel and has been in San Antonio longer than I have been alive! This is definitely a place anyone living in SA should try. We ordered several things to get a true sampling of the menu. Spring rolls, dumplings, chicken lo mein, and orange chicken. Everything was very good, but the fried spring rolls and dumplings were delicious. They were extra crisp and not soggy or oily. The lo mein was very flavorful with just the right amount sauce. The orange chicken was okay considering they have it listed as a house specialty. I felt like it was lacking a little in flavor, but maybe I will request spicy the next time. If there is one thing I would recommend, it is to come with a large group! They were definitely Texas-sized portions!

This place is so so good. The outside doesn't do the inside justice. The chiefs are amazing. Food is amazing. We have egg rolls 10/10, the Rangoons 10/10, the General Tso 10,10!!! Also the e got the Lo Mein, it was good but it was not my thing. HOWEVER when I told them it just was not my taste they came out from the kitchen and spoke to me. We had so much food I was stuffed so I decided to order nothing else. The service is beyond great and I would 10000/10 recommend to people. AMAZIG food and service.

WORST STAFF EVER !!!! The Host was on his phone the WHOLE time talking be inconsiderate. Two other employees were being extremely rude talking shit 5 feet away about costumers. The manager couldn't even control their staff because they kept going . WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO ANYONE!!!
