We have been going to Hong Anh for many years. The people who own it are such kind people, endlessly patient with everyone. Their take out is so popular that you have to plan hours ahead when ordering. Not a problem for us!! It's worth the wait!! My husband grew up in NYC, and he absolutely loves the Hot and Sour soup. Our one daughter, who is now vegan, very much likes their tofu substitution. There is truly something for everyone here.

I wanted a nice Chinese buffet lunch. I looked up this restaurant that I used to visit frequently. Google map information stated there would be a lunch buffet. There is NO LUNCH BUFFET. This information should be updated. I was disappointed but decided to eat anyway. I think they’re only open from 11 to 2 for dine in. A sign on the door said take out only (at certain times). I ordered a bowl of hot and sour soup ($3.50) and the mixed appetizer plate ($10). The soup was okay but not great. It was a small cup of soup and I thought it wasn’t much considering the 3.50 price. It had plenty of tofu and bamboo shoots but not much meat, though there was some. The flavor was not balanced either; it was needed more of the vinegar flavor. The appetizer platter was excellent. The egg roll was huge and stuffed full of various ingredients including tiny shrimp. It was hot and crunchy outside. The wontons were fried perfectly and were also very tasty. The beef skewer was average. It didn’t have much flavor and was not tender. The shrimp was shaped into a circle and at first I thought it was an onion ring. The chicken was a nice piece of chicken breast but it had too much breading on it for my taste. Five stars for this dish. The appetizer platter was served with small pitchers of duck sauce and spicy mustard sauce. I drank water and the wait staff did a pretty good job keeping my glass full. I could have had a few more refills but I understand they’ve got a lot to do. For some reason I didn’t have any napkins at my table, just the silverware. I had to request napkins.
