Getting traveled all around the earth with quite a few outings to Asia, I am partial to fantastic Chinese food items. Also, I am very critical of restaurants that do not measure up for me personally. But, when you come across any of my opinions, they are optimistic-if I do not like the institution, I will not just take the time to write about it.
Due to the fact we moved to Gilbert, AZ in April 2006, Norm and I have been searching for an remarkable Chinese cafe in the East Valley. Numerous times, we handed Hong Kong Bistro on the corner of N.W. corner of Chandler Heights and Gilbert Street. In early Spring of ’08, we made a decision to give it a test. Our look for resulted in an working experience that was right on the mark. Hong Kong Bistro is a fantastic value for the high quality of its food items.
We’ve returned to the cafe a lot more periods than I can depend. I’m open to trying a little something diverse every time, but Norm tends to like the Mo-Shu Pork, even though tasting my entrees.
Hong Kong Bistro’s menu has anything that most Chinese dining places element. The surprising comes with the Chef Specialties that are additional than unique. Amongst our favorites are: Pleased Household which is a blend of of shrimp, scallops and hen with vegetables is a chef’s sauce Double Pleasure wherever shrimps and scallops are blended with vegetables in a specific sizzling sauce Scorching Rice Combo is a delight of jumbo shrimp and chicken breast with refreshing Chinese veggies sautéed in a clean delectable sauce, served about scorching rice Sizzling Seafood Platter is a mix of scallops, shrimp, lobster tail and crab meat with Chinese veggies introduced out on a very hot platter in which you can hear all the things scorching. It is topped with a delicate oyster sauce.
While not on the specialty record, absolutely 1 of my favorites is Walnut Shrimp. These jumbo shrimp element a mayonnaise sauce topped with deep fried walnuts and served with broccoli. It is delectable. The Orange Chicken and Mongolian Beef are additional of Norm’s favorites.
For $1, you can increase an appetizer, soup, and fried rice to your buy. We relished the very hot and bitter, gained ton, and egg fall soup, all which had been great.
Presentation on all the dishes we have witnessed served is attractive, with meticulous focus to depth. What amazed me enormously was the planning of all the things. Even deep fried meals is frivolously battered and flash fried so as to develop a gentle generation, not a large battered oil-soaked dish which is commonly uncovered elsewhere. In addition there are several light-weight entrée selections. Even far better, Hong Kong Bistro does not use MSG. Its components are new and you can taste the change.
There are numerous additional picks for us to attempt on an ongoing foundation. It is complicated for us to shift over and above some of our favorites, but Michelle Zhen, who owns Hong Kong Bistro with her partner, keeps encouraging us to try out unique dishes. They really encourage their clients to request for one thing not on the menu if a distinct dish is wished-for.
The atmosphere is relaxing and comfortable, a minimize earlier mentioned most Chinese places to eat.
Michelle and her spouse bought the Golden Canyon in Mesa in 1999. Its continued accomplishment encouraged them to buy Hong Kong Bistro in 2008. We are glad they did and persuade you to attempt it. The drive to Phoenix’s S.E. Valley is well worthy of it, and you can expect to savor just about every bistro bite.
