Worst Chinese Food Ever! Hong Kong Palace, Allen

Hong Kong Palace, Allen Texas.

I used to order from this place all the time. My Mom loved the Egg Foo Young and they put out a decent Mongolian Beef. The place started going down hill, so we decided not to order any more. A few months later we received a new menu from them stating "Under New Management".Part of the new menu was lunch specials delivered 7 days a week, Cool! So I thought I would give it a try. The specials wouild allow me to try a couple of dishes.

I ordered 2 lunch specials for delivery: "Crispy Beef" and "Chicken and shrimp hunan style" First of all, the lunch specials come with a soup, i ordered one won ton and one egg drop. They charged me an extra $3.95 and up-graded my won ton to the next bigger size (unbeknown to me)with some old chicken and shrimp thrown in. Both soups were bland and tasted like they added some old ingredients to tap water. Even soy sauce and pepper oil did not help it. The egg rolls tasted off, like they were left out all night, thus inedible.

The "Crispy Beef" WAS DRENCHED IN A THICK BITTER SAUCE!! So it was nowhere near crispy!! The pieces of meat were soggy, fatty, and grisly. The veggies on Chicken and Shrimp dish were nice and crisp, but the sauce was watery, the shrimp was mealy, and the chicken tasted like it was cooked a week ago, left uncovered in the walk-in and then put in my meal. There was NOTHING good about this meal, I was overcharged and fed garbage from the kitchen. The Management did not care one bit, pretty much said it was my fault for not coming in. He said I should have ordered the sauce on the side, HOW WAS I TO KNOW YOU DRENCHED YOUR "CRISPY" BEEF IN A DISGUSTING SAUCE! He gave some other lame excuses and said the next time I came in he would give me "Discounts" and make things fresh for me. If he had done that in the first place this would not have happened. Don't worry Ben, I would be in use the "Discounts"!
