I have been going to Hong Kong Jacks since 1990 and before that I didn't really care for Chinese Food. The other restaurants sauces had little or no flavor, the food was very salty, and the food tended to be under or over cooked and sometimes cold. HKJ changed my mind. First, the portion sizes are large. The food is prepared fresh, so it is hot. The sauces are flavorful and they carry dishes I didn't even know existed. They can customize items to exclude items I don't like (no peas) or change the sauce (mild for me). I go there for lunches and find that I get a great bargain and fast and friendly service. I have not been late getting back to work after having lunch there (I get an hour). Parking can be a pain but if you time it right (after 12:15PM) it is worth it. I am addicted to their shrimp Lo Mein and sesame chicken. There are times on my way home from work that I don't want anything else to eat and I have to stop there to get take-out. My family and I meet there for dinner about once a month. Our large party has not been a problem although we pick a Wednesday or Thursday night because they are really busy on Friday and Saturday nights. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants great Chinese food.
