More than a Chinese Restaurant in Clarksville, TN

Alice first acquired her love of food from her mother and aunt. Growing up in a family where the prominence of cooking and culture were such an inspiration – it was always her dream to operate a full oriental service restaurant that stood out among the other Chinese buffets.

Hong Kong Wok Established in 1997

In 1997, Alice and Eddie Chan opened their original location of Hong Kong Wok, in Clarksville, Tennessee. At first a take-out restaurant, it quickly grew into a well-loved bistro by the locals.

Becoming HK Wok & Bistro in 2007

In 2006, the Chan’s sought an opportunity to relocate and grow their restaurant. They remodeled their previous building, located near Exit 11 on Madison Street in Clarksville and in 2010 they finally achieved their dream of a full-service eatery.

Plan to Relocate, Closing Location in 2018

In 2018, the Chan’s closed their location on Madison Street near Exit 11 due to TDOT’s acquisition of the property for roadway changes.

HK Wok Re-Opens in 2019

The Chan’s are excited to be re-opening their doors in a new, convenient location in the Madison Street / Publix Shopping Center. Alice and Eddie’s goal is to continue to serve their family recipes to the Clarksville community.

HK Wok has a fusion and Asian cooking technique that provides customers with the complete practice of dining which is appreciated in the Chinese culture. Alice considers making Chinese food an art. She uses distinct sauces for each cuisine, along with fresh vegetables and meats to make certain that each dish is unique. This philosophy for food unites her inspiration of east meets west, “combining what Westerners like with the Eastern culture.”

The Chan’s have enjoyed working in the restaurant industry and will continue to introduce exotic fare to local residents and visitors.


Chinese food is everywhere, people think it is inexpensive and not everyone can make it good. But we take the time to prepare, cook and present the food that makes the customer enjoy what they are eating.
