Hong Kong House Chinese Restaurant & Lounge is a pleasant surprise—unpretentious yet stylish décor, creative and colorful menu and a bounty of scrumptious offerings.

Owner Mrs. Liao approached it by creating the house into a contemporary and cozy establishment. The neatly arrayed tables, the elegant lantern contributes to a homey and heavenly place, and the lingering soft music complements the already laid-back settings.

Hong Kong House features extensive selections of Chinese cuisine, ranging from Sichuan to Cantonese fare. To better cater to customers’ needs, the chef at the restaurant has slightly adjusted the tastes of his dishes.

Signature dishes at Hong Kong House include General Tso’s Chicken, Orange Flavor Chicken and Happy Family. General Tso’s Chicken is a dish that you will find at most any Chinese restaurants. Locals tend to love this plebeian entree with a touch of sweetness and spiciness. 

The extensive menu goes beyond these Americanized Chinese fare to include dim sum, ranging from Shrimp Har Gow (Shrimp Ball), Steamed Fun Gor, Beef Tripe, BBQ Pork Rice Noodle to egg roll.

What really sets the restaurant apart is the special homemade sauce. Of course, the recipe is a secret but customers won’t mind as long as it continues to be offered. $10 is enough to enjoy a delicious lunch or dinner. If you are in or near Salem, OR, make sure to stop by this culinary gem.
