Customer Review Summary
Regular customers describe hot, quick delivery as the recurring draw, with reviewers who order several times a month praising the salt n pepper chicken wings and Singapore chow mein, and another calling the curry the best they've had in years, though noting the portion was almost too large for them. Close behind is more than one mention of fast service and food arriving hot. Set against that is a real cluster of complaints: several reviewers report food arriving cold, including dry salt and chilli spare ribs served with sautéed onions and peppers, a burnt-tasting egg foo young, and a special rice topped in a brown gravy one reviewer says no one could eat. Delivery itself draws repeated frustration, with accounts of food sent to the wrong address, missing items, a doubled delivery charge, and one order left out for an hour and a half before arriving cold. One reviewer recounts a refund dispute over cold food that a staff member eventually issued herself after the owner refused to help.

“AVOID AVOID AVOID AVOID AVOID!!!!!! Picked up an order with a sauce missing. Called up and we were told it was leaving at the time of calling. 20min we waited (only 5min we stay away) to get a already cold sauce with the other food now cold as well. Called back again and the poor lady behind the counter done everything on her end to rectify the issue by issuing a refund. But it's the owner, now this idiot of a man ended up texting me basically saying we were not getting a refund and it's our fault that the food went cold. Now anyone that reheats chinese food knows that it goes stodgy when you reheat it. But to him that was our fault and we were to call the police. Won't be going back but letting anyone else know that's the type of attitude you're getting from the owner. Poor girl again was getting embarrassed from the unprofessional manner of the owner and ended up giving the refund herself as he wasn't helping the situation in anyway shape or form.”

“We use the Hong Kong pretty much 3+ times a month. We've tasted a few things off the menu and we can say, they have always been great tasting meals. Great salt n pepper chicken wings, great Singapore chow mein....could go on all day about the food.”

“Avoid! Sent to the wrong delivery address, food finally arrived with wrong order, burnt and bland! Didn't eat any of it, complete waste of money! Also with the cheek of charging double delivery fee!”

“Thought I would try this take away establishment as I heard it has changed ownership. I previously gave this place one star in the past when owned by previous people. Well, ownership might of changed,but unfortunately the standard of food hasn't improved at all. Still rate this place as one of the worst Chinese takeaways in Midlothian,let alone Bonnyrigg.”
- Jake
“Order took an hour and a half to arrive. The food was out for delivery for half an hour and came too cold to eat below the regulation temperature for food. Items were also missing from the order, when phoning to sort the issue the restaurant offered to refund the order and then hung up before doing so. Avoid this place at all costs.”
