Hong Kong Chinese Restaurant

Hong Kong Chinese Restaurant operates out of the Havendale Square shopping center on Havendale Blvd in Auburndale, a stretch of retail development on the eastern side of the city. Directory records list the restaurant as having been in business for roughly 27 years, which would place its opening in the late 1990s, making it one of the longer standing Chinese restaurants in the Auburndale area and a fixture of the Havendale Square shopping center for the better part of three decades.

The restaurant’s own website describes its offerings simply as specialty dishes crafted to create what it calls a delightful culinary experience, without going into extensive detail about specific menu items on the pages that were accessible during research. Like many independent Chinese restaurants of its type, it is categorized under both Chinese and broader Asian cuisine, suggesting a menu that likely spans the familiar range of Cantonese American and general Chinese American dishes found at similar restaurants throughout Florida.

One notable modern touch is that Hong Kong Chinese Restaurant has set up pickup and delivery ordering through Beyond Menu, a third party online ordering platform commonly used by independent Chinese restaurants that do not want to build out their own ordering system from scratch. That gives customers a way to order online for pickup or delivery rather than relying solely on a phone call, a convenience that not every small independent restaurant in Auburndale has implemented.

The restaurant keeps generous hours across the week, opening at 11:00 AM most days and running until 10:00 PM on weekdays, extending to 11:00 PM on Friday and Saturday nights, and opening slightly later at 11:30 AM on Sundays while still closing at 10:00 PM. That schedule covers both lunch and dinner service every day of the week without exception, giving it a reliable presence for anyone in the Havendale area looking for a meal outside of the more limited hours some of Auburndale’s other restaurants keep.

Being located within Havendale Square rather than as a standalone building gives the restaurant the benefit of shared parking and visibility alongside other retail tenants in the center, a common setup for Chinese restaurants that lean on steady foot traffic from a shopping plaza rather than being a standalone destination restaurant. The restaurant is also sometimes listed under the name Chinese Hong Kong in certain directories, though the business itself operates under the Hong Kong Chinese Restaurant name at its Havendale Blvd address.

For anyone planning a visit or placing an online order, the Beyond Menu ordering system linked through the restaurant’s website is the most direct way to see current menu items and pricing, since a detailed printed menu was not independently reviewed as part of this listing. Given the restaurant’s nearly three decades in the same shopping center, it is reasonable to expect a menu that reflects years of steady customer demand, though specific dish recommendations were not confirmed through customer reviews during this research.
