Great 5 Hong Kong Chinese Food Stamford Ct
1. Lemon Chicken $6.79
We have to start with the best. Lemon Chicken is delicious. The chicken has a great chicken taste, and the sauce isn’t too drenching.
Hong Kong Chinese Food Stamford Ct is just enough to complement the dish without overpowering it. We also like that this dish is not too filling, so we could eat more than one serving–a rarity for Chinese cuisine!

2. Pan Fried Noodles & Fish $7.
Next up is the Pan Fried Noodles & Fish. This dish consists of noodles mixed with cabbage, carrots, and celery. The fish is a bit bland, but the noodles are seasoned well.
They have a great taste and go well with the soy-based sauce that comes with them. If you like spicy food, you can top it off with their special hot sauce for a bit of heat.

Step 3: Keep the remaining water in the pot and lower the heat to medium. Add the celery, carrots, and cabbage. Cook until they are tender (about 5 minutes).
Step 4: Mix cornstarch with water until dissolved. Bring mixture to a boil while stirring until it thickens (about 1 minute).
3. Shrimp Chow Mein New $8.99
The last dish we tried was this Shrimp Chow Mein New. Hong Kong Chinese Food Stamford Ct is a little spicy, so you might want to skip this one if you don’t like tons of spice. But overall, it’s quite enjoyable.
The noodles are cooked well, and the sauce is tasty and not too sweet. We also like that the shrimp is tender and has a great texture when eaten.
Ingredients:
- 1 lb. medium shrimp, shelled and cleaned
- 1 Tbsp. soy sauce
- 3 Tbsp. oyster sauce
- 2 Tbsp. rice wine vinegar or white vinegar
- 2 c. water

Directions:
Step 1: Bring a stockpot full of water to a boil while constantly skimming the surface of foam off the water with a wire whisk.
Step 2: Add the shrimp and cook until they turn pink (about 3-4 minutes), then remove from heat and set aside in a bowl.
Step 3: Add the soy sauce, oyster sauce, vinegar, sugar, and pepper to a bowl. Stir well until sugar dissolves and set aside.
Step 4: Heat a wok over moderately high heat; pour 2 tablespoons of oil. Pour beaten eggs into the oil and swirl the wok to cover the bottom of the wok evenly.
Cook until eggs turn opaque (about 30 seconds). Flip with a spatula and cook for another 30 seconds on another side. Remove and set aside.
Step 5: Add the rice wine mixture to the wok, and stir-fry for about a minute until it boils. Pour in water, salt, and shrimp; simmer for a couple of minutes until sauce thickens. Serve with eggs on top, and enjoy!
4. Beef with Spicy Garlic Sauce $8.
Their Beef with Spicy Garlic Sauce is a nice dish. The beef is cooked well, and the sauce tastes great (we would consider this one of their better dishes).
The spiciness isn’t too overwhelming, which we like. Hong Kong Chinese Food Stamford Ct is one of our favorite mild-spiciness dishes!

Step 3: Add fried onions and rice wine vinegar. Cook until beef absorbs the sauce’s flavor (about 1 minute). Add salt to taste and serve hot.
5. Shrimp Fried Rice New $8.99
This dish is the ultimate comfort food. The Shrimp Fried Rice New is considered one of their signature dishes.
