Chong's Chinese Bar'b'que & Salads — Restaurant in Fresno

First time here, I can't believe it. Beef chow fun holds a special place in my heart and I judge whether a Chinese restaurant is good or not based on how well they can cook their beef chow fun. This dish usually determines whether I'll be back or not and let me tell you, their Beef Chow Fun hit the spot. It is cooked just right where the noodles aren't mushy and stuck together in clumps. It's not overly salty. They put so many ingredients into the chow fun and with plenty of meat, whereas other places tend to be mainly noodles.

They also have Hot & Spicy sauce there too. I didn't try it but for all those Hot & Spicy lovers out there, they have it.

SAME DAY UPDATE! I was curious what else they have.

What we ordered:

Singapore Rice Noodles - this is one of my mother's favorite dish and this dish reached beyond her expectations. Again, they put a lot of different ingredient so with every bite, you always had some veggies, some pork and/or shrimp. My mom really liked that the shrimp is fried and done so nicely.

Spicy Eggplant - Omg, it's soo good with steamed rice. It's garlicky and a little spicy, perfectly balanced. Eggplant is cooked throughly but not to the point of mush.

Garlic Green Beans - I really wanted this but they said they didn't have enough for a full order so this is a half order. If you love garlic, you should definitely try this dish (and the spicy eggplant). It's cooked perfectly where there is still that crunch when you bite into it and it's seasoned perfectly.

BBQ Pork - For the small order, it's a lot. I was afraid that it would be too fatty and sweet but it is perfect for me. It annoys me when I purchase a meat dish and for it to be mainly fat, but that is not the...

Not half as good since ownership change. Very bland, won't return.

Okay, so I tried again in 2020. Though better, the curry has a seasoning in it that does not belong, it's the same seasoning on the BBQ Pork that was way too strong as well. Curry chicken was under cooked and pink on the outside. I did not realize this until 3:00 in the morning when, well, let's just say trash can and toilet were both used at exact same time. I then went straight to the fridge to check the chicken as I ate under poor lighting while watching TV and that is when I discovered the medium-rare chicken. Special Chow Mein was not cooked long enough (though all meats were in that dish) and looked more like a Thia dish due to the amount of oil on it. And this is coming from a dude who says "Pork Fat Rules!" They were busy but that is no excuse to under cook food.

I was impressed with the amount of meat served in the dishes but there is still some ironing out to do. This was my go-to Chinese food place for years until ownership changed. I will be returning to China Restaurant which is 4 times further than Chong's. That should speak for itself.

Just like the previous owners, this family is VERY friendly and appreciates...

Our usual go to Chinese spot is closed on Sunday and we were craving Chinese food and this was our first time trying Chong's. It truly did not disappoint. I love that they offer a variety of Asian foods.For example: You can get your Japanese/Hawaiian fix with some chicken katsu, Thai with pad thai, or traditional chinese food where the selection is pretty extensive. I'm pretty picky with the bbq pork but they nailed it. We ordered the Chong's special friend rice and chow mein which has a little of all the protein mixed it, again, very delicious! The katsu, crispy, juicy, the way it should be. Would definitely...
