| - Wong's Place is my favorite little family-owned neighborhood Chinese restaurant. It has the quaint charm that is typical of a hole-in-the-wall Asian dining establishment, complete with the pastel decor reminiscent of the 80's. The staff is the same loyal, polite staff that has been serving there for years and the service is consistently impeccable. The staff always greets us with a familiar smile, the food is always delicious, my glass is always full, and the prices are very modest. Although I have had many of their entrees, a few come to mind as the standalone, "must have" dishes to recommend above all others. The Seafood Hot & Sour Soup is by far the most delectable option on the menu! It is far different than the standard hot & sour fare and is filled with mussels, shrimp & squid, green onions and mushrooms in a spicy red broth.....it makes my mouth water with delight when I think of it! Everyone that tries it keeps coming back for it, no matter how far the drive! A few other faves are the Wong Jo Chicken with black mushrooms and ginger and the Pork Fried Rice. If you have a large party to entertain, Wong's offers a special dinner price that is all inclusive and large family-style tables so that everyone can share. It is not uncommon for the place to be packed with families at dinner time on the weekends. If it is fine dining or gourmet Chinese ambiance that you are looking for, you won't find it here, BUT....I highly recommend Wong's if you are looking for a delicious neighborhood fare for a great price.
