    Roast pork and Chinese vegetables lunch special
    Sam A.

    Perfectly acceptable Chinese takeout place. I had the roast pork and chinese vegetables lunch special. It was a bargain at about $5. There was plenty of meat, the veggies were mostly cabbage, along with some snow peas and carrots. The overall flavor was a bit bland for me, but that may be my tastes more used to urban Chinese places. The VB courthouse area doesn't have a lot of strong lunch options, so this was a fine alternate to fast food. Two and a half stars, all things considered.

    Sometimes you just need to satisfy your craving for really cheap Chinese food and today was that day. Chicken Lo Mein with Pork Fried Rice. $6.50 (including a dollar tip) for a big foil dish of it that I brought back to the office and chowed down. Oh, so good. Relatively good, that is. Napkins and a fork in the bag, I'm glad I grabbed a couple packets of hot mustard as it was much needed.

    Okay, so not too shabby of a place when it comes to their food. It's your typical fast food Chinese take-out and I needed something quick. I mean, I always do want rice in my life. The chicken and mushrooms dish was pretty good. I had time to kill so I took my time eating and every bite was piping hot. I don't expect Chinese take-out spots to ever be decorated but they did had a starter trash can... the little one you'd have in your first apartment with trash overflowing. Plus the bathrooms were a little eh. I suppose these are the things a place like this needs to have good food.

    Adding some photos for Yelp. This location is in on the 'East" (get it? 'East'? Bada-boom, Ching---) side of the Harris Teeter shopping center down Princess Anne by the Municipal / Courthouse area of Virginia Beach. It is a good thing they didn't put this on the west side of the complex, because then they'd have to call it "West Wok", and that just doesn't roll off the tongue as well. -- Okay, enough of the weak jokes, to the review. There isn't too much to write that you haven't heard before as just about all Chinese take out places are very similar in price, menu, and taste. Family owned store. Food was prepared quick and tasted great, no complaints at all. They do accept credit cards, but they do not deliver. I'm going to give them 3.5 stars, and round it on up to four stars solely because the fortune cookie I got was cool. Why not! And I especially like the "Lunch Specials" section of their menu. Less than 5 bucks folks!

    The food was good and fast. They clearly want you to take out. The seating is quite limited. They have one child friendly toy though I must admit, I wouldn't let my kid touch it. The prices are a bit expensive in my opinion. I ordered a small chicken lo mein and a side of dumplings and it was $12!! Kind of ridiculous. I was also annoyed that the lady taking the orders was sitting and I couldn't see her behind the counter, she took my order, yelled it obnoxiously to the back, and then sat down again watching her foreign tv show on super loud! I'm kind of surprised they are still in business because unlike the heavy traffic in the other establishments, no one else left in front of me or came in behind me. It was good food but idk if I'd frequent again.

    No need to call a head this place is pretty fast and the food is good. We like the chicken chow mein and sesame chicken. The egg rolls are okay too.

    As Chinese food goes it's pretty good. The service is always fast. Normally only takes 5-10min.

    Pick-up or Dine-In only. Wished they offered delivery. Overall, the quality is decent, the service is fast and price is average.

    One of the best Chinese restaurants in VA, best Chinese restaurant in Virginia Beach of course…read more While it's a bit pricy, but you won't be disappointed by the quality of the food. We went there twice during the first weekend of September, and carry food back home to Maryland. I ordered Chengdu Fried Rice to test the chief's skill because I was born in Chengdu, I know everything about this dish, and the chief made a 100% authentic fried rice which surprised me.

    What do most of us want to experience when going out to eat? My answer would be to have an…read moreincredible experience unlike cooking at home. Well, I had an incredible lunch experience at Wang Jiang Lou that made my day! It all began with the warm welcome, followed by incredible service table side and even as I left the team made me feel good (More later!). Whoever designed this restaurant knows something about creating an escape from the world experience. The paneling, table settings, lighting, and every inch of the dining area allowed me to take a deep breath escaping from a hectic hot and humid Virginia Beach weekday hustle! The $16 lunch is a bargain! Offering several impressive entrees plus soup. I am extremely particular about Hot and Sour soup and this bowl was delicious with a subtly of flavors and a pleasant silky texture. I consumed every last drop and returned a clean bowl! I chose Yu Xiang Pork as my entree, which my waitress said was one of the top two favorites along with the pork belly. She said she would give the Yu Xiang Pork the edge. She was right because I loved this dish! I like heat and this offered heat. I like varied texture and this had a range of textures. I want flavor that makes you eat everything served and this delicious lunch offering succeeded. For the price I was so impressed with the variety of mushrooms!! The cherry on top for this visit (No, I didn't get an ice cream sundae.) was the warm thank you's PLURAL that I received from the people up front as I left. Their smiles were beaming at me and they genuinely made me feel like they were happy I came in for a $16 lunch. I said with a wink that I was going to the kitchen to see if they would provide the same smiles of thanks and was told that they would (No, I didn't go to find out.). Clearly a great team serving delicious food in an awesome setting made me wish I lived in Virginia Beach but then I stepped outside into the heat, humidity and hectic world that this FIVE STAR restaurant named Wang Jiang Lou made me forget about for an hour.

    My Husband's Food Review : Beef Mongolian Noodles -- 4/5…read more The noodles are freshly made with every order, and you can literally watch the man through the glass forming them by hand from the dough. The noodles were tender with a nice, bouncy texture. The sauce had a good balance of salty and sweet, and the beef was tender and flavorful. Jalapeño Chicken Noodles -- 5/5 The jalapeño peppers added a great crunch and paired really well with the texture of the noodles. The chicken was tender, and the sauce was light enough to let all the flavors come through. Definitely a favorite! Salt & Pepper Chicken Wings -- 5/5 The wings were cooked to perfection--crispy, crunchy, and well coated with seasoning. The crispiness paired really well with the overall dish, and every bite had great flavor. Beef Pancakes -- 2/5 This was basically like a hand-held burger stuffed inside crispy dough. The onions added a nice flavor to the beef, and the chili oil on the table paired really well with it. However, I think it would have been much better if the beef had been mixed with a sweet soy sauce for a little more flavor and balance.
