Having grown up in Boston, finding a good Chinese restaurant has been rough since I moved out to western MA. Â I was very happy to find HK Express! Â Yes, it is a hole-in-the-wall type looking place, but it's what's on the inside that matters most.
Chow fun has been a rarity out here in western MA, nevermind good chow fun. Â I also highly recommend their Sesame chicken and their crab Rangoon. Â Most places overstuff their crab rangoon and HKE's is just right. Â They have a lot of options as well as specials so it won't break your wallet.
It's not fancy. Â It's mainly take out but they do have 2 booths and 1 table if you don't want to take it home. Â Just don't expect to be waited on if you do eat in. Â The kitchen looks clean and the owner Jackie is always there. Â I think he takes 1 week vacations once every 7 years. Â Jackie greets most of his regulars by name and is always smiling.
