The consensus between me, my friend, and my sister is that Wong's Place IS the best Chinese Szechaun / Hunan restaurant in the Phoenix Area! My friend could not stop eating! Could it be that he wasn't paying for it? The first two days I was here I ate half of his dishes from China Chili and Mediterranean House. No weird, funny faces today!
What we ordered...
Salty Fish Fried Rice - Do NOT order this unless you know what you're getting into... This Fried Rice is made with salted preserved dried fish, cut up into little pieces, also cooked with pieces of chicken. Most non-Orientals would exclaim who's got BO! I've just warned you! My friend had not had this dish in years... loved it.
Pan Fried Shrimp - Whole Shrimp is fried WITH the skin... You will see the shrimp staring right back at you with it's beady black eyeballs! How to eat - Break off shrimp at neck and eat the body and tail... Even the skin is edible! Chomp on the shrimp's head at your own risk! The shrimp is served with thin slices of Jalapeno on a bed of lettuce. The Jalapeno gives it a nice hot flavor!
Szechuan Green Beans - This turned out to be sweeter than Wong's usually makes it. Think it was contaminated from another table's order... But still VERY GOOD!
Black Pepper Sizzling with Black Bean Sauce - Black Bean Sauce is used in Chinese dishes as a salt alternative. But it is VERY tasty to Chinese. No chemically tenderized meat here!
A dessert of Cocanut Milk Jello, a dessert I've never seen at any other Chinese restaurant, comes with your meal... FREE!
I had not been here at Wong's Place in years.. Has not changed one bit... Still one of the best Chinese restaurants in the Phoenix Area...
