About the food at Hong Kong City BBQ
New York Style Chinese food – what does this mean? Why would you crave Chinese food from America, that seems backwards doesn’t it?! Well, there is so much history between New York and Chinese food. New York City is home to a diverse range of Chinese communities, including Cantonese, Sichuan, Hunan, and more. As a result, New York-style Chinese food includes a broad spectrum of regional Chinese dishes, allowing customers to explore a variety of flavors and styles.
This type of Chinese cuisine has been heavily influenced by American tastes and ingredients. It often features larger portions, richer sauces, and sweeter flavors compared to traditional Chinese cuisine. For example, Hong Kong City serves dishes we all love, like General Tso’s chicken, shrimp with lobster sauce and egg foo young that are emblematic of this fusion.
Another defining features of New York style Chinese food is the availability of combo platters. These platters typically include a choice of an entree, fried rice, and an egg roll. They offer a convenient way to sample different dishes in one meal. Who doesn’t love a good combo? Hong Kong City offers these types of combos daily, from 3pm to 7pm.
Did you know? Many dishes come with an egg roll as an appetizer, and a meal often ends with a fortune cookie. These items, although not authentically Chinese, have become staples in New York-style Chinese restaurants. You can get both here too!
