I have been a customer of HKI (as I call it) for nearly 40 years. I can say without bias that this is the best Chinese restaurant in the area! If you like sweet and spicy, get the Sesame Chicken. It is their best dish. Of course you also can't go wrong with some Springfield Style Cashew Chicken!

Good Chinese a cheap price. This is by far the best Hong Kong Inn out of the three. Yeah ask for extra sauce on the side they'll get it for you of course you'll have to pay for it at the Kearney Street location you cannot do this. They fix your dish anyway you'd like have to pay for it but that's to be expected. One the best tasting egg rolls in town. And if they get busy they'll start a double line on the cars to get all orders in and processed and have a lot of cooks in the kitchen to prepare the meals. A highly recommend this place if you're looking for a Chinese meal.

Our motel was surrounded by chain restaurants, so I looked to Google to find something local nearby. This was exactly what we needed. Not too fancy, very friendly, reasonably priced and really tasty. I had Sesame Chicken made with white meat and my mom had Beef Broccoli. We both had the combination plate with steamed rice and an egg roll. We also added a small order of Crab Rangoon. We could have easily split an entree since we couldn't take home our leftovers, but everything was so good that there wasn't much left on our plates. We dined in - you order at the counter and they bring your food to the table, but the drive-through looked like it was the most popular option on a Friday night. The food far more quickly than I'd expected, too.

My favorite Asian restaurant at the north end of town! The taste and food quality is always excellent and served in generous portions. My meal in the pix is veggie fried rice and a bowl of hot and sour soup. ALWAYS perfect!

Great food for a great price! They have best Springfield style cashew chicken ever here! This is definitely a must stop every time we are in the area...You order at the counter. (You can get white or dark meat chicken.) The food comes out quickly and they bring it to your table. My husband absolutely loves it, he grew up eating here. Springfield style chicken had to on me but I really like it now. Sometimes I crave it. We definitely don’t not have anything like it in Oklahoma.lol

I moved away from Springfield five years ago and every time I come back, I get the cashew chicken from here. I've been eating here since the 90s and still think it's the best cashew chicken in town.
