Tucked in what seems to be the best foodie shopping center in Chinatown Las Vegas, one may easily overlook this hole in the wall as other superb restaurants--Raku, Trattoria Nakamura, Kabuto, Monta and Curry Zen--are also in the same location. If it were not for Yelp recommendations, I probably would have never gone to this restaurant.
Looking through the menu, most of the items are under $5.00... my college fund definitely goes a long way in this place!! I decided to try out their hainanese chicken since that is what the restaurant is mainly known for. Being it my first time having such dish, I thought it was actually quite delicious! The chicken breast was really tender due to the method of how it was cooked; also, the condiments (hoisin and chili sauce) add a great taste to the dish. Also tried their chicken curry with roti and a fried pork dish... but thought I would rather get those elsewhere.
Overall experience? Big Wong Restaurant is a great place for lunch due to their affordable prices but definitely do not walk into this place with high expectations--YOU WILL GET WHAT YOU ARE PAYING FOR. I actually like how the restaurant crews were yelling at each other half the time I was there since it makes the experience more authentic. I will definitely be back!
