After reading reviews, my family and I decided to drive 45 minutes here from Galveston. When you drive up, you can immediately see how small it is, which gave my mother-in-law pause. It can't be good if it's so small. I just shrugged and said the reviews were good.
When we walked in, we were greeted and our server (who I later learned was Lucy) greeted us warmly and did not balk at there being 7 of us. She helped us move a table over and got us drinks.
We first ordered cream cheese puffs and mozzarella sticks. I'm kind of a connoisseur of cream cheese puffs (and their various other names) and these were delicious and hot. Our biggest mistake was letting our three big kids order an entree each. We ordered three sweet and sour chicken and there was enough food for at least six people. The chunks of chicken were huge and moist inside the breading and my kids were very happy, including my 4 year old who originally wanted chicken nuggets but they were out. I ordered House Special Lo Mein, my spouse ordered Beef and Mushroom, and my mother-in-law ordered shrimp and asparagus. All of them were delicious and we had SO MUCH LEFTOVER FOOD, which Lucy packaged herself - all while serving other tables and managing the constant stream of takeout orders.
If I had a complaint, which I don't, it would be that our food came out in a staggered manner, but I'm pretty sure there were only a couple people in the kitchen and Lucy running tables so I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt on this one. All this and the price for 7 people to eat was right around $100 before tip which is very reasonable if not downright cheap!
If you're reading reviews you'll see Lucy's name come up a bunch, so when the ticket came I checked and sure enough, it was Lucy who was serving us. She really makes the place, being very kind and welcoming and while managing everything with skill and poise. I would definitely...
Read moreStopped in around 1pm on a Sunday. Small quaint, location. Service was a little slow but we didn’t mind. Server was nice. We ordered corn nuggets, pan fried dumplings, Orange Chicken and General Tso’s lunch specials.
Now I don’t know if it was an off day or I order the wrong thing but most of it was subpar. I’ve always heard great things from others about Wong’s just never got around to trying it till now. I’ll start with the good and then then not so good. Appetizer #1: you can’t really go wrong with corn nuggets, they were fried nicely and hot when arrived at the table. Combo sides: The soups ( wonton & hot & sour) we’re good, the hot an sour soup was especially good but no crispy noodles. The egg rolls are some of the best I’ve tasted as of lately. That’s about if for the good. The not so good. Well appetizer #2 pan fried dumplings were half lightly fried but mostly soggy. Like if the steamed them and then said oh no that order was fried and then tossed them in a pan. The meat flavor was okay and the scallion sauce was standard but the consistency was not a pan fried dumplings. The main course both orange and Tso’s chicken sauces were slimy sticky consistency not usual for the sauce, the taste and texture was off as well. The fried rice was bland and over cooked as was the steam rice over cooked. We took a few bites of each dish a leaving over 3/4 of each plate and decided to packed the egg roll, corn nuggets to go. The server seemed confused as to why we didn’t want to take the other food home but honestly we would just have tossed it out. Now that’s my honest opinion of my experience. I sat a little confused because I saw others ordering different dish and they seemed content. So I’m going to say I ordered the wrong things. I’ll try them again, but I’ll pick up and maybe order the wings and a noodle dish or a beef and broccoli. I will definitely get a few egg...
Read moreThis is the BEST chinese food ive had. My husband and i found this gem in 2020 when we lived just down the street. Fast forward to present day, we live a good 30-45 minutes away, and if we want chinese we WILL MAKE THE TRIP to order from here. We have pretty much tried everything they have to offer. The cheese puffs are DEFINITELY a must! They use like a chive cream cheese, we always get two orders, one for commute home and one for dinner 😂. The Singapore Chow Mei Fun, is my personal favorite, im very hesitant on curry, however this dish is a 10/10.
I do have to say just because i see a few very 1 or 2 star reviews on here, (also Didnt read them) but if they are anything about the food. Please dont listen, everyone how has a restaurant, know there are always going to be “off” days were thing just arnt going 100% as expected. If you had a bad experience or the food just wasnt hitting right, give them another chance. Like i said everyone has there “off days” we have gotten a few “off days” over the years, however we dont hold it against them, they are human just like you and me. Mistakes happen. Seriously give them a chance. You WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED. I dont make reviews but this place, deserves my time for a fantastic review.
Great job Wong's Asian Cuisine, y’all seriously have our customer loyalty still we are no longer in a driving...
