Hong Kong Express

Hong Kong Express is a fast-casual Chinese counter-service spot in Orange famous for dishing out budget-friendly combo plates piled so high with food that containers barely close. The spot is widely celebrated for its massive four-pound portions of takeout classics, especially their chow mein, fried rice, fresh orange chicken, and tender BBQ pork ribs. In addition to being a convenient, high-value alternative to eating inside nearby Disneyland, creators frequently highlight their fire-grilled teriyaki chicken and house-made chili oil.

Commenters are deeply split over the restaurant, with many expressing long-running nostalgia and marveling at the enormous portions packed to feed multiple people. However, several critical visitors warn that the food can be bland, dry, or cold, with some raising concerns about hygiene and chow mein texture. Despite skepticism over whether regular portions match the videos, many still view it as an unbeatable bargain compared to chains like Panda Express.
