| - I would actually give the "New" Mister Wong a solid 3.5 to 4 stars for their food but I ordered through Yelp's eat24 and they delivered in 1/2 the time that they quoted so that bumps them for the round up.
The $2 delivery fee is a wash, since they give you two spring egg rolls with the minimum order amount of $15. They have a tiered coupon system, so if you order $25 or more you can choose between 4 free spring rolls/free 1 Chicken Fried Rice (16 Oz)/free 1 Pork Lo Mein (16 Oz).
Prices are reasonable and portions are HUGE. As far as Chinese food goes, this is a little better than average and the "New" Mister Wong's will fulfill your need for that salty, greasy, savoryness that you crave from the Americanized version of this food. The flavors are spot on and I like that at least when ordering through Yelp's eat24 you can easily customize each item. Want your Kung Pao not spicy/mild/medium/spicy/very spicy and with extra peanuts... not a problem. Kung Pao Chicken is my go to when trying a new place to establish a baseline, so I ordered mine extra spicy with extra peanuts. The heat didn't blow my top, but it was flavorful, spicier than I normally get, and it was covered in peanuts. It has the expected fresh celery, bell peppers, zucchini, and onions along with a mix in of frozen corn and carrots. Overall, I was impressed. The vegetable low mein was really good as well, chocked full of fresh vegetables and nicely seasoned. As mentioned by others, the crab puffs are larger than usual, the spring rolls are smaller than other places and the egg rolls are pretty standard. None are not too greasy but they are fried so you have to expect some grease.
Another nice thing is that they have a "create your own" combo option. If you are like me, it's hard to pick one thing, so unless you are with a bunch of people doing family style, you have to order a ton in order to get a variety. Lunch specials run every day from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM and the full menu is available from 11:00 AM to 10:00 PM. They also have super cheap party trays if you need catering for lunches, etc. and if you order three of those, you get one free.
My only complaint is that they aren't closer to my house so I'm limited to delivery to work. But then again, that's probably a good thing since my lunch order today has enough food for 4 meals. I am most definitely a fan of the "New" Mister Wong. :)
