Editorial Review for Hong Kong Restaurant – by Citysearch Editors

In Short
The scorpion bowls (lethal, fruity troths of booze) at the dated, low-key Hong Kong are an age-old Harvard University favorite. While the exotic drinks are the main attraction at this college hangout, the restaurant's straightforward Chinese fare provides an affordable dining option. Boisterous patrons head to the upstairs bar area to mingle, watch the Sox game and down tropical drink concoctions.

Insider Tips

When to Go

The Hong Kong holds one of Harvard Square's few late licenses, meaning you can get one more drink here up until 2am on weekends.

Scorpion bowls= sugar and the cheapest alcohol they have. Just watch them make it and you'll see..I have not eaten at this place but from the decor one could image the experience.

Pros: talent

Cons: everything

if you're a harvard student, at some point or other you will be initiated into the ways of the scorpion bowl at the kong. the food's OK, and the atmosphere's kitschy fun; definitely worth a trip.
