Weng's Garden — Restaurant in Apollo

While not from a land far away, I'm not terribly familiar with the area, but was hungry as all hell. So when I passed by Weng's Garden, I was certain it was going to be great. I've got a tasty-sense... you know, sort of like Spider-Man's ability to sense things out of the ordinary, except for fantastic food joints. It's never failed me, and this was no exception.

Upon entering, we were greeted by our lovely server, situated ourselves at a table of our choosing, and began the journey into the depths of the extensive menu options that lay before our eyes. I was tired from a long week at work, and with my energy levels depleted, I decided to ask our kind hostess for a recommendation. The garlic sauce dishes were her favorite, and without hesitation, a decision was made. Besides, you can never go wrong with garlic sauce.

The chicken was delicately tender and cooked to perfection. And the garlic sauce? Phenomenal. Perfectly sweet, with mild spice — a fit for literally anyone. While it could have been spicier, as per my request, it didn't matter. The flavor was immaculate, the sauce was the perfect consistency. I only wish there were more of it because I prefer my food swimming in sauce. Afterall, everything else is just the vehicle for sauce delivery. Again, you can't go wrong with garlic... ever.

But doesn't stop there. She also made a fantastic reccomendation for the Szechuan dishes. Again, the chicken, tender, cooked to a wonderful temperature, and the vegetables were an impeccable balance between tender and crisp. I would have preferred it to be far spicier, but that's just because I a glutton for the heat.

And speaking of spice, the waitress is damn cute and knows just how to brighten up someone's day. So if you happen to stumble upon this review at some point...

Whether you live next door and haven't given it the chance, on the other side of town, or just passing through the area — Weng's Garden is a must try. And remember kids, you can never go wrong...

Our first visit to Wengs Garden. We entered and we're greeted by nice large fish tank occupied by a beautiful fish. Although the inside of the restaurant may need some updating and a little background music, we were welcomed by one of the owners. We ordered appetizers, soups and 4 entrees to share family style. The fried items were crisp and delicious, not greasy one bit. The accompanying sauces were very nice and added greatly to the dish they accompanied. The meats were cooked beautifully and the plentiful vegetables were cooked perfectly. We barely put a dent into all we ordered so brought some home for another meal. The owners have been in this spot for 20 years. I'm already looking forward to dining...

We stopped by for dinner and ordered a General and a Curry chicken meal, both were supposed to include fried rice and an egg roll. My wife asked twice to confirm this. She also ordered 2 extra egg rolls and lo mein. We didn't get our extra egg rolls nor did we get the fried rice. We brought this to their attention and the lady said, "oh no, Dat no how it come. Dinna owda not come wif fwy why and egg woll." Even though we specifically asked and were told that it did. So we were charged $9.75 + TAX FOR GENERAL CHICKEN AND A SMALL ORDER OF WHITE RICE. The food was mediocre at best. The noodles were overcooked and the egg rolls were soggy. Everything else was typical $4.75 food. Will...
