| - I celebrate pretty much all special occasions with Chinese food. It's delicious, usually cheap, and there are endless menu options to choose from (although, let's face it, I'll judge you by the quality of your lo mein). So when I first moved to Phoenix, I immediately began a search for delicious Chinese food somewhere near my house.
Believe it or not, it took more than a YEAR to find a place that was't truly awful.
Wong's Jr is a delicious island floating in a desolate sea (desert?) of terrible Chinese food. I tried Chinese places up and down the length of Bell Road, all the way down to Glendale and up to Happy Valley. It took a long time and a lot of heartbreak, but Yelp finally led us to wonderful Wong's Jr - truly, it was love at first taste. The service here is always super friendly, professional, and fast. Their dinner specials are fabulous - they come with rice, an egg roll, a crab puff, and either sweet and sour chicken or what they call BBQ chicken (it's no bbq I recognize, but it's definitely delicious!). The ton of food they give you is always piping hot, and the quality never varies. Sometimes they'll even throw in free egg rolls, if you order a lot. I have a hard time straying from the lo mein, and Andy F adores the sesame chicken, but everything else we tried was just as good. This place is a real gem, and one I recommend to everyone disappointed in Phoenix's Chinese food offerings.
Wong's Jr, we miss you already!
