Ruby AnayaApril 23, 2014Open late! Best healthy, fast, cheap option in town. Funky/hippie atmosphere. Awesome vegetarian and meat options. Literally can't go wrong.
Kourosh BehnamOctober 18, 2018Gado Gado, Charlie’s chow mein, Spicy Dans peanut delight are all so good. Pair any of these with a tiger beer. Oh and the Szechuan mushroom medley sandwich is bomb too
I luv CHK, eat here 1-2 times/wk & am the Mayor BUT ironically I think the vegetables are the least great items. Best is the salmon, rice & sauces. Vegetable medley is worst. But I LOVE CHK!
MatthiasApril 3, 2020This Tuesday we satisfied our craving for Asian food. Generally they offer vegan food but I rather accidentally got the baked tofu which I did enjoy a fair bit. Always open to new experiences! 👌🏼
- Cristina B.September 28, 2014A lunch favorite. Any of their rice bowls are great, like their hoisin pork rice bowl. Also the Pad Thai is great and their sandwiches are amazing as well!
Brian StraussAugust 14, 2018Satisfying noodles with healthy veggies mixed in. All noodle dishes are vegan to start and then they’re not when you add the recommended hoisin pork.
Odile RoujolApril 26, 2021Excellent food and take out. Try the chicken 🍗 and the pork , else the shrimps. Fast and nice service
- Josh ChanAugust 9, 2014HOISIN PORK!!!!! This place rocks. Try all the bowls, South East Asian flavors with a Californian twist.
- Marti MarietteDecember 18, 2017I love the spicy Dan with rice not egg noodles and a top of hoisin pork. It’s the only time I eat pork, it’s soooo good!
Chaing Mai noodles with an added side of vegetables is perfect for two! You can also opt for gluten free noodles 💕- Tobias SchmidtNovember 24, 2017Spicy Dan's peanut delight and some of the fall-apart tender hoisin pork hit the spot
- Get the Hoisin pork on anything and you won't be disappointed. Suggested dish: Pad Thai.
Gluten free options available on most dishes. Spicy or not, as you like.
Athonia CappelliJuly 5, 2013Nice alternative music selection can be heard here. On a recent lunch visit I heard José Gonzaléz, modest mouse and Broken Bells
Sally BookmanJune 12, 2012Great gluten free and vegan options. Organic and green. Try the gado gado with zucchini topping.
My favorite fast food stop in town! Need something fast and healthy? Stop here for a noodle or rice bowl, or a salad.
Seasonal treat: spicy garlic green beans. They are delicious - get them!!
The gado gado is fabulous with tofu or prawns, and sub brown rice or noodles for yummy combo
Ryan BlockJuly 13, 2016Hong Kong? More like we don't know what to call it so Hong Kong sounds East Asian.
- I always get the Laughing Phoenix with hoisin pork..... yum!
Horacio Hory UriasJuly 8, 2013Had the red curry Phoenix. No red curry taste , no flavor at all and it was cold... Ive had it before but this time was bland ....
