Charlie Hong Kong began in 1998 on a busy street corner in Santa Cruz, California, with the goal of creating a local eatery with a menu that offers healthy, ample, "genuine" food at a reasonable price…
This is second time I receieved wrong order from Charlie Hong Kong. The food is amazing so Im willing to wait for correct order. The Spicy Dan's Peanut Delight with sweet tofu is delicious! I have also had it with broccoli and spicy cauliflower and its equally as good. Everything I have ordered from Charlie Hong Kong has been wonderful!

I'm honestly amazed at the freshness and value you get for the price at this restaurant. The Vietnamese Chicken Noodle Soup was full of large, tender pieces of chicken and was packed with flavor. I plan to eat the Salad Wrap for lunch tomorrow but it looks delicious. I will definitely be back to try more items from the menu!

I usually love the Curry Chicken Rice Bowl but today it was SO dry and there was very little chicken in it. The rice seemed stale/old as well. I hope this is just a one off thing because I otherwise really like this restaurant.
