| - I seriously love mom and pop places and this place... I LOVE THIS PLACE. I imagine that this is the kind of restaurant that the parents of David S. would open up if they ever decided to do so. It feels homey, and all the food tastes like it's made by someone who seriously puts his/herself in the place of their customers when they make it. Plus, all the dishes arse pretty much in the $5-10, which is freakin' amazing since the other Chinese place that my family likes to frequent doesn't even come close to that kind of price range, especially for the quality and portion of food that Big Wong has.
Let me just say that those chicken wings are super addicting and I've been dreaming about them since I first tried it 3 weeks ago. Crunchy, crispy, hot, tender and juicy on the inside... totally to die for. The beef ramen had nice big chunks of tendon-y cuts of beef that taste like they've been stewing for a long time. They're tender and are NOT chewy, AND they ask you if you want tendons in your soup. (UH, HELL YES I DO!) The broth is clear and perfectly seasoned, and the noodles are the eggy hong-kong style that I wish I had more experience in reviewing. But they were really tasty to me.
Between my cousin and I, we had the ramen, one of the chicken specials that was a steamed chicken with sauce on the side served over rice, and the chicken wings, and not only was everything way under $20, but it was delicious and filling as well.
