| - When our usual lunch spot on Ray Rd. in Chandler was packed, my wife and I decided to branch out and look for an alternative. In a strip mall slightly off the beaten path, we stumbled upon Wang's Delight. For the most part, it was a delight.
The restaurant was not very busy, so the service was excellent. And people who run the place were as friendly as it gets.
We both liked our dishes. My wife ordered garlic chicken and gave it a thumb's up. Being a vegetarian, I ordered a spicy vegetable and tofu dish. It was good, too, and the spiciness level was just right for me, as long as I didn't accidentally bite into one of the small red chili peppers. We both liked our egg-drop soup.
I don't think the restaurant caters to the health-conscious crowd. White rice was the only option, and the sauce used in both dishes was on the salty side. That always makes me wary at a Chinese restaurant.
We both liked the fortunes in our fortune cookies, which is an important measure of any Chinese restaurant. My wife's fortune wisely said that even smart people should listen to stupid people. That's spot on because she is smart and in a job where she deals with a fair number of stupid people. Great advice.
The restaurant's décor was interesting. Behind the counter were tiles that had been sculpted into a wavy pattern to form a ceiling-high frame for what apparently was intended to be the focal point of the room: a small framed picture of goldfish. Also, it appeared they were running out of storage or had just received a new shipment of something because boxes were stacked along one wall in the dining area. It didn't bother us. Just interesting.
Overall, it was a pleasant experience, and we intend to add this restaurant to our rotating list of lunch places.
