About New Hwong Kok

Located at 39055 Cedar Blvd #186, Newark, CA 94560, within the Lions Supermarket complex, New Hwong Kok serves as a Chinese Restaurant primarily catering to those seeking convenient takeout options. With a phone number of (510) 745-9182 or mobile at +1 510-745-9182, New Hwong Kok offers a selection of Chinese dishes, with a noted emphasis on their roasted meats.

Based on customer reviews, New Hwong Kok has established itself as a place particularly favored for its roasted duck and pork. One reviewer specifically highlighted the "duck roasted plate," which includes rice and steamed cabbage, praising the distinct flavor of the duck. For those looking for these specific roasted meat dishes, New Hwong Kok appears to be a local option worth considering for takeout.

However, the general consensus among reviewers suggests that New Hwong Kok is best suited for takeout rather than dining in. One customer explicitly stated, "Not recommended for dining-in. It's a quick grab the food and take away." Another review echoed this sentiment, describing the atmosphere for dining in as "bland" and noting the presence of "still boxes at the front," implying a less than ideal ambiance for an on-site meal. This suggests that the restaurant's primary focus and strength lie in its ability to provide quick and convenient takeout food.

While some customers appreciate New Hwong Kok as a convenient spot for lunch, particularly for takeout, other aspects of the dining experience have received less favorable feedback. One reviewer described the food as "slimy and oily," considering it to be "below average." This customer further recommended exploring other restaurants for better quality duck and chicken. This perspective highlights a potential inconsistency in food quality or preparation that prospective customers may want to consider.

On the positive side, one reviewer mentioned that the prices at New Hwong Kok are "cheap," which could be an attractive factor for budget-conscious customers seeking a quick and affordable meal. However, this is juxtaposed with the recommendation to seek better quality elsewhere, suggesting a trade-off between price and perceived food quality.

Reflecting on past experiences, one reviewer recalled dining at New Hwong Kok when they were younger and noted that the environment "wasn’t really looking bad there at that time." This suggests that there may have been a change in the restaurant's atmosphere or focus over the years, leading to the current recommendation for takeout over dining in.

In summary, New Hwong Kok in Newark primarily functions as a takeout Chinese Restaurant, with its roasted duck and pork being the most frequently praised items. Customers looking for a quick lunch or dinner to take away, especially those interested in roasted duck, might find it a convenient option. However, potential diners should be aware of the reported issues regarding the dining atmosphere and the quality of some dishes, as mentioned in customer reviews. While the affordability of the food is noted as a positive aspect, those prioritizing a pleasant dine-in experience or higher food quality might want to consider other options in the area. Located within the Lions Supermarket complex, it offers easy access for those already in the vicinity looking for a quick Chinese takeout meal.

Here's the review with the added information: "Great take out place for roasted duck and pork. My fav is duck roasted plate which came with rice and steamed cabbage. Loved the duck flavor. It's in the lions supermarket complex, just outside the supermarket. Not recommended for dining-in. It's a quick grab the food and take away."

This is one of those places to get your lunch. However, you’re better off doing a take out rather than dining in because of how bland the atmosphere is. Still boxes at the front. I remember dining here when I was a lot younger. Wasn’t really looking bad there at that time. The food was slimy and oily. I consider it below average tbh. It’s cheap at the bright side. I highly recommend going to other restaurants if you want to get better quality of duck and chicken.

Good roast duck and roast pork. If you can, don't have them chop it up. Instead, bring it home and reheat at 425 degrees. Don't put it into a preheated oven. Start with the oven cold, and once the oven reaches 425, heat for another 5 minutes.

I got the combo pork and duck for takeout and it was solid. The cabbage was steamed instead of pickled but no complaints from me. I wanted to order just the roast duck but I came late in the day and they only had the pork//duck combo left. Don't come too late for their more popular dishes or else they might be out.

Have been here multiple times. Love their roasted duck and soy sauce chicken. Food is always good and fresh, full of flavor. However the service was not good enough
