| - After coming home from work not feeling so good, the husband graciously offered to pick up some Chinese food for us! Go him. Wong's happens to be fairly close to the house and we'd never tried it (due to its scary exterior), so we figured we'd go for it. I ordered the sizzling rice soup (which only comes in a large size for 7.50) and he ordered the sweet and sour chicken (about 8.50). My soup was steaming hot when it got to our house, so that was great, but the rice didn't really sizzle....weird for sizzling rice soup. It should be noted that the soup broth was more of a wonton broth (as opposed to other places that have more of an egg drop broth base) and contained large vegetables (that were fresh and tasty and included celery, broccoli, carrots, snow peas, etc), different meats and shrimp. The soup was sort of layered indicating (to me) that they cook the meat and veg separately from the broth and add it in later. All of the shrimp was at the bottom, followed by pork and chicken (and green onions), with veg on top. This was fine and probably wouldn't be the case if you ate the food at the restaurant. Overall it was a solid bowl of soup, better than a lot of restaurants, but still nothing I would really think about later. The husband's sweet and sour chicken was on the bland side... not very sweet... and the chicken was the typical fried puff balls of unknown chicken parts... he though it was ok, and I didn't care for it. For the prices, I would consider going back, but it wouldn't be first on my list.
