Once again HK service, quality and innovation came through to exceed expectations. I would say that HK can be one of the more expensive Hong Kong style choices in town if you select a few of the specialty options, like Truffle Shrimp Toast, (which was stunningly good! I consider the entire experience a high value in terms of top quality, superb service and innovation.

Always delicious food! One of the best Chinese spots in town. Family run, pleasant waiters and worth the price. It’s not inexpensive but the quality shines. I’m so glad they reopened after the devastating fire on Geary.

The roasted duck was the best we ever had. Salt & pepper Berkshire pork was tasty but a little too bready. Turbot special was outstanding. All the greens were delicious. Whole crab dish at other diners’ table looked phenomenal. We had the dry Riesling to accompany & even enjoyed the Durian dessert. Service was great. They are so nice! It’s loud, it’s small, it’s so much fun. We’ll definitely return.

We had 5 in our party and had a great time on a Friday night. We enjoyed the experience, the only thing is that the place was packed and the sound level was a little noisy. Otherwise, food and service was great. I would highly recommend HK Lounge Bistro.
