    Lunch Special: Orange Chicken, White Steamed Rice, Egg Roll, and Iced Tea (Not Pictured) for $15.00
    C K.

    Cafe Wang in downtown La Verne is delicious and has an affordable lunch special for $15.00 that actually feels like a great deal. The lunch menu is honestly hard to beat-lots of options, generous portions, fresh ingredients, and prices that make you do a double take in the best way. Every plate comes out hot, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. You can tell the kitchen takes real pride in the food, not just rushing things out. I tried the lunch special combo and was seriously impressed. The orange chicken entrée was perfectly cooked--rich, savory, and well-seasoned without being overly fried or greasy. The white rice was fluffy and fresh, and the egg roll made the meal feel complete rather than an afterthought. The iced tea was cold, sweet, and tasty as well. You also get a good variety to choose from, so it's easy to find something you'll love whether you're into classic favorites or more traditional dishes. Service is quick and efficient, which makes it perfect for a lunch break. The staff stays friendly and keeps things moving without making you feel rushed. The restaurant itself is clean, comfortable, and has a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere that makes you want to sit and actually enjoy your meal. What really stands out is the value--you're getting restaurant-quality food at prices that feel almost too good to be true. It's the kind of place you end up returning to again and again for lunch because it consistently delivers on both taste and affordability. Definitely recommend this place!

    Salt and pepper shrimp combo and and black pepper beef combo

    Great service, but unfortunately they do not have all you can eat anymore. She said it was just a summer promotion. We had two of their combo special, which came with the soup, a side, an entrée and a carb that was really good and better than we expected. Not your typical panda express type of food but more elevated. Ambience was casual and more American style than Asian, but we enjoyed our time. It was not crowded at all. A good spot for groups as well.

    After trying a few burger places nearby in Pomona, we were on our way back to the hotel after Anime impulse and wanted to try some Chinese fusion. This restaurant is really aesthetically pleasing and in a really cute quaint "Main Street" type area. Upon entering, we were greeted warmly and he was patient while he waited to take our order. I tried the Orange Chicken dinner that came with egg drop soup, egg roll, pork wonton, salad, fried rice, and orange chicken. The prices were comparable to other spots, and the food was really good! My youngest son got the Kung pao chicken plate and my oldest got the walnut shrimp and they absolutely loved it! Definitely going to keep this place in mind anytime we are near Pomona

    Wonton soup

    Came on a Saturday evening after Asian American Expo at the Fairplex. Saw the AYCE menu and headed over. Unfortunately, on Saturdays it ends at 4 PM So our family ordered the Wonton Soup (large), Fried Rice with mIx of proteins (chicken, beef, and shrimp), Beef & Broccoli, and Xiao Long Bao. I was thrown off a bit as the beef & broccoli came out before the wonton soup. The service was attentive and helpful The wonton soup had a good flavor as it had seaweed and small shrimp added. My kids really liked the fried rice as it had lots of beef, chicken, and shrimp. Overall, it was good Chinese food, not overly greasy.

    Nestled at the corner of 3rd Street and D Street in charming Old Town La Verne, Cafe Wang is a standout destination for Chinese fusion cuisine. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with warm hospitality. The atmosphere is inviting, blending modern touches with a cozy vibe perfect for casual dining or a special night out. What truly sets Cafe Wang apart is the freshness and flavor of its dishes. Every plate feels thoughtfully prepared, with vibrant ingredients and bold, balanced flavors that showcase the best of traditional Chinese recipes fused with creative twists. Whether you're indulging in their signature entrees or sampling appetizers, the quality is consistently impressive. Service is attentive and friendly, adding to the overall experience. It's clear that the owners takes pride in making guests feel welcomed and satisfied. Combine that with reasonable prices and generous portions, and you've got a spot that's hard to beat.

    Kung Pao Tofu

    Hubby and I tried Cafe Wang for the first time tonight after local groups recommendations. They had an AYCE deal going on for $23.99 with unlimited rounds of five options at a time per table. It was a nice way to try a variety of their menu options especially since they served half orders for the AYCE. Half portions were perfect for us because we wanted to try a little of everything. Their orange chicken was good as was their sweet and sour pork. Hubby really liked their honey walnut shrimp. The bbq porch bun was pretty good and we loved their mixed veggies side, cucumber salad side, veggie springs rolls and the star of the show was their kung pao tofu. Room for improvement: menu cleanliness. They were very sticky. Also our table had some rice crumbs from prior guests.

    My wife and I enjoyed a seven course meal, with new items not on the menu yet. What an experience we shall never forget. A big thank you to the owners Fang and Ken, always going 100% for their clients. Congratulations on your eight year anniversary

    AYCE menu, you can order 5 things per round. Do not expect big trays that you can walk and go get things by yourself. Dim sum and soup are worst. Service is so slow since there is only 1 server for whole floor. AYCE is 23.99$, this is nightmare

    Black Pepper Beef Combination plate
    Eduardo L.

    Stopped by around 3:30 PM on a Monday, so it was pretty quiet. There was one female server handling the entire floor and I was the only person at the bar/counter, with just a couple other tables seated. Despite that, service was attentive and friendly. Ordered the Black Pepper Beef combination with fried rice (+$2.50). The combo comes with egg drop soup, one egg roll, one gyoza, and a small salad, which is a solid amount of food for the price. Food breakdown: *Black pepper beef: Good flavor but a bit on the salty side for my taste. 4/5 *Fried rice: Slightly bland, could use more seasoning. 3/5 *Egg roll: Definitely tastes prepackaged, but still crispy and surprisingly enjoyable. 4/5 *Egg drop soup: A little underwhelming, feels like it's missing something, though I'm no expert on how it should taste. 3/5 *Gyoza: Decent, nothing special. 3/5 *Salad: Very meh -- spring mix with what tastes like cheap ranch. 2/5 I also ordered a Buffalo Trace Old Fashioned, which was actually a highlight. The bartender explained they normally use a house-made brown syrup, Angostura bitters, Peychaud's bitters, and an orange peel. I asked them to hold the Peychaud's, and the drink came out great. Nice big cube, well-balanced, and smooth. 5/5 A couple downsides: There were quite a few fruit flies behind the counter, which was noticeable and took away from the experience a bit. On the plus side, they've got a cool AMI jukebox, which adds to the vibe. Overall, solid spot for a casual meal and a well-made cocktail. Food is hit-or-miss, but service and drinks definitely help bring the experience up.

    First time eating here after COVID and the menu changed a lot. I feel lots of items got taken off. The service is good and also seems to have plenty of seats. The food is authentic, but some items on the small portion side. I really love their Stir Fried Chicken w.Hot Pepper, it's one of my favorite dish.

    Shui-Mai, Black Pepper Beef, Chicken Chow Mein and Cashew Chicken.
    Elaine L.

    I think Fusion means - can't quite get it right...Looks like dishes Ive eaten over the years but it's not the same flavor! Sorry but disappointed - I was hoping for some good Cantonese Chinese food in La Verne. (like Upper House in Claremont but has closed). The only dish that was spot on here was the Shui-Mai. I will continue my search but not in La Verne.

    I came here with my mom after an appointment and saw that they had xiao long bao on their menu. We got xiao long bao ($13), chicken chow mein ($16), popcorn chicken ($9), Mongolian beef ($23), hot and sour soup ($6 for a small), and sauteed green bean ($18). The xiao long bao had a thin wrapper but it was a bit dry. It was seasoned nicely and it came with a small dish of black vinegar to dip into. The chow mein was ok, it had a good amount of chicken and it was light on the seasoning. I did like the popcorn chicken which was crispy and had a good portion size, it did remind me of Taiwanese style popcorn chicken at boba drink places. It came with a side of sweet chili sauce. The sauteed green beans were cooked enough and not too salty. The small size of hot and sour soup was good for two people, broth was nicely seasoned. The Mongolian beef ($23) was tender with chunks of jalapenos, bell peppers, and sliced onions. Lots of bits of dried chili in it, the spice level was not hot. The staff was nice, we went there an hour before closing and everything came quickly. They do have a bar and the lighting is dim inside.

    Cafe Wang is and Chinese Fusion and Bar restaurant. It's located in Old Town La Verne on D Street, a block from the University. I have been here a handful of times, and every time I go, it is a quick and delightful experience. They open at 11:30 during the week, just in time to take a work lunch! They have a pretty solid and standard Chinese food menu. They do have lunch specials, but if you are coming with friends or family, their regular plates are family style, so you do get A LOT of food to share. The service is quick, and always checking on you. My top 3 mains I usually get are: -Shrimp Fried Rice -Broccoli Beef -Orange Chicken (Can never go wrong with Orange Chicky, lol) But whatever you decide to get from Cafe Wang, you won't be disappointed. Spicy, Sweet, Savory, they have it all! The food is always fresh, consistent and on point! The price range is between $10 - $25, depending on what you're ordering. If your ever in Old Town La Verne, Cafe Wang is a place to try for sure.

Many of the dishes are meant to be shared, making it a good spot to order a few plates for the table. The cucumber salad is a solid starter. It is something refreshing to snack on while you wait for the rest of your food. I ordered the Cheese and Chicken Rolls along with the Golden Prime Beef Soup. The rolls were rather greasy and indulgent, and I would probably skip them next time. If you must try them, I'd recommend limiting yourself to one or two pieces. The Golden Prime Beef Soup, on the other hand, packs a serious kick. If you can't handle much spice, definitely let the staff know. Those bright red chilies aren't just for show; their heat permeates the entire broth. My conclusion is about the same as my introduction: the fare is inoffensive, but it's consistent and good. It's a dependable option when you're looking for a casual Chinese meal without much fuss.

It comes with a nice light sweet-and-sour and then a darker duck sauce to pair with fluffy soft boas And the appetizer the mushu was a very delicious that came with like a Wong tortillas to pair with it and it was a very good recommend 10/10 But like I said, give it a try and you decide

    Overview: convenient kiosk ordering, tough parking, delicious dim sum…read more ---- We decided to order some dim sum to-go and got the classic offerings of siu mai, har gow, cheung fun, chicken feet, pan fried turnip cake, ginger beef tripe, black bean pork short ribs, and egg tarts. Everything, and I mean everything, was so delicious. One of the best dim sum places I've been to. The pricing of the items ranged from $8-$10 per item we ordered which is expensive but as a treat every once in a while and for the amount of time and effort that goes into making dim sum, it was worth it. I've tried making dim sum at home and it is so hard! Pricing breakdown: $8 items: - har gow (4 pcs) - siu mai (4 pcs) - black bean spare rib - pan fried turnip cake - egg custard $9 items: - chicken feet $10 items: - shrimp rice noodle roll I think they no longer have the tripe on their menu anymore bc I couldn't find it on their online ordering. Also their chili oil was priced at $0.98, which was kind of small, I would do without it next time. ---- The parking was really tough, luckily I had another person with me drop me off then I ordered and then we double parked waiting for it to be finished. The inside of the restaurant felt like an elevated dim sum place, things were neat and a darker ambiance which felt more intimate if you decided to eat in. We took ours to-go and it was still so good! ---- Overall: if I'm ever back in Pasadena I'll be sure to stop by for dim sum, classic dishes with an elevated taste, pricey but worth it

    Hubby wanted to get dim sum for new year and luckily we live close to Lunasia. Like most locations,…read morethe food is pretty consistent and the servers are pretty attentive. This location is pretty spacious and even has a second floor for dining. Though we were seated inside, a lot of people were coming in and out for take out. They have a QR code to scan the menu and send your order to the kitchen. Unfortunately, they forgot our order of shumai. We had already finished eating before it even came. The waitress was kind but apparently had to bring the receipt back because the staff was claiming we already received it.

I have eaten in Chinatown in San Francisco and also in Los Angeles, this place compares well! Food is really good and fresh. Parking area is huge (near the Von's supermarket and lots of other businesses) family friendly, wheelchair assessable, with clean restroom.

I had no idea it was even here, It used to be a sushi spot, so we figured we'd give it a try :) I wasn't sure what to expect, but we were pleasantly surprised We've been to a lot of dumpling places so I'd say we can tell good, mediocre and bad and we thought everything tasted pretty great. Everything came out fresh, hot, and really good. Spicy wontons were delicious. Our server was super sweet. She was taking care of us, another big party, and a few smaller tables but still made sure our drinks stayed full, checked on us often, and made sure we had everything we needed. Great service. We ordered: Pot Stickers (totally forgot to take a picture) Fried Pot Stickers Soup Dumplings Spicy Wontons Cucumber Salad Glad we gave this place a try :) If you're craving dumplings, it's worth checking out. We'll definitely be back.
