Best view! We had lunch there and loved the special fish dish! Did not plan to come back on the same day, but we did. Sunday night at 7pm, when everything else in the area was closed or ran out of food (we tried the pizza place just down the street), they took us in and feed a group of 8! The place was bustling still when we left around 8:30. Oh and they are now open Mondays! (the only day the close is Tuesday)

The most striking thing about Hong Kong Gardens is the space and view. It sits on a hill overlooking the Sound and the ferry terminal. It has a lot of seeting, big patio, expansive bar, table top games, and even a drum set and an area for a band. It seemed like a cool place to hang out. As far as the food itself, it was better than I had been expecting. While in the end, it is Americanized Chinese food, the food was pretty palatable. My friend and I enjoyed the house special combo fried rice. I especially liked the General Tsao chicken, which had large pieces of actual chicken, instead of big balls of largely batter which you get so often at other places. The Kung Pao chicken wasn't my favorite, but it was still edible and I could have made a meal out of it without complaining. Three entrees came to about $50 after tax, and provided about 3-4 meals worth of food. All in all, the space was fun and the food was better than I would have expected, especially for the area (which is not known for its food). I would come back for an evening meal/hangout session with a view.
