Surely this place would be good in this neighborhood but wait it's gross. The tables were sticky dirty. We should have turned around and gone to la Madeleine. We thought this must be a hidden gem. Egg rolls were overcooked as was the lemon chicken. How to mess up basic Chinese food? Go here and you'll regret it. The manager was very gracious and removed the dinner from our bill. We can suggest the crispy spring rolls as they were good. Call someone to come fix this place. read more

I love Howard Wangs. Everything is good. Our server was so nice and on top of it. We went on a Sunday and they have lunch specials available. That's unusual. I had the moo goo gai pan. It's so delicious. Came with spring roll and soup. I had hot and sour, which is really good. Hubby had orange chicken and wonton soup. The wonton soup is impressive. Has shrimp in it as well a wontons and the broth is great. Spring rolls were good. We also had pan seared potstickers and they were great. We get delivery often as well. Love this place! read more

Being the only restaurant in the plaza, Howard Wang's seems like a hidden secret unless someone told you about it - and that would be a mistake. After a family dinner last Sunday, I can tell you - it's a secret worth discovering. As we settled in, the dining room felt clean, warm and relaxed, with soft lighting. Tables were spaced generously, allowing for comfortable conversation and a sense of privacy. Our server greeted us with a warm smile and offered helpful recommendations. He checked in periodically to ensure we were enjoying our meal, without ever feeling rushed. With our appetites stimulated, it was time to explore the menu. We decided to go all-in and ordered a selection of dishes: 1) (9/10) Sweet & Sour Soup for starters to warm up the tummy before a feast 2) (10/10) Mongolian Beef with generous amounts of green onions and quality you can taste. The beef tasted like actual beef, a welcome change from the rubbery, starch-laden versions found at many other Chinese restaurants 3) (10/10) Hot Garlic Sauce w/ Chicken (Spicy) has a symphony of bold flavors. Sweet, savory, and with a satisfying fiery heat that kept us reaching for more. For those who like a kick, request to make it spicy! 4) (9/10) Mandarin Walnut Shrimp is one of my favorites that is complemented well with white rice to balance sweet and savory. The shrimp has the right amount of crisp and softness on the inside. 5) (9/10) Chow Fun Flat Noodle was a delicious surprise, resembling Pad See Ew but with a distinctly Chinese flavor profile. The wide noodles were perfectly soft, clinging to a flavorful sauce, with tender, fresh chicken. It was a generous portion, and the leftovers were just as good the next day. 6) (8/10) General Tsao's Chicken is like a traditional orange chicken but with more meat-to-fat ratio. It feels like biting down real meat rather than just batter. 7) (8/10) Udon Noodles only because I'm more of a rice and flat noodle person - this was my teenage daughter's favorite. Udon noodle fans, this one's for you! If you enjoy stir-fried noodles, you'll love this dish. We completed the night with their Chocolate Cake & Green Tea Ice Cream. 1) (9/10) Chocolate Cake: If you're a brownie and chocolate person, the cake is a great way to reset your cheat-day. 2) (10/10) Green Tea Ice Cream: I was expecting a grainy-ice texture like most restaurants but was caught by surprise on the unique quality - creamy and freshness. Ice cream is my number one choice of dessert, which is why I'm giving it a 10/10. This was a great choice for family dinner; I am looking forward to having date night here if given the opportunity to escape the kids for a few hours. Howard Wang's is more than just a restaurant; it's a dining experience. We'll be back soon to try the duck and other fan favorites. Highly recommended!! read more

Haven't been here in quite a while. My honey sesame chicken was absolutely delicious, right out of the walk, piping hot, good egg roll and very soothing wonton soup. Lettuce wrap with chicken also a winner. read more

Took like an hour to get the check and they didn't have Apple Pay They also got our order wrong read more

Do not come here for lunch if you have an actual job. 20 minute wait before they took my order, another 15 to get the food. I've now been here over an hour and still can't get someone to pay the check to! Good was okay, but not much different than a counter service place that's cheaper and much faster. read more

Howard Wang's Preston Hollow - Day after mixed vegetables - Salad Near Me - Dallas, Texas

CHINESE FOOD SNOB ALERT! CHINESE FOOD SNOB ALERT! I pride myself on knowing who has the best fried rice in town or the crunchiest crispy noodle. So, this review should hold some weight! When I am just wanting stellar take out that reminds me of the old school Chinese food (only better), I order from Howard Wang's China Grill. I've ordered: 1. Fried Rice 2. Chow Fun 3. Mongolian Beef 4. General Tso's Chicken 5. Crispy Noodles 6. Egg rolls And they all have been upright delicious! I can't speak too much on the service or décor because how else do you order Chinese food in true takeout fashion? Umm, duh, DOORDASH! Please note, the location matters! This location is much better than the one closer to downtown. Lastly, the food is always fresh, and the fried foods are never soggy---even after delivery. If you're sleeping on HW, you're missing out. read more

Great service from our waiter. He was the only waiter working but did a great job. The restaurant is nice and clean and felt like a home atmosphere. The food was probably 3 star. It was okay but nothing special. We use to go to the Cole Ave location that was great. We were upset the location closed because everything was always top notch. I'm sure we will return but not as much as we did the other location. read more

Extreme food poisoning. Beware of this place. I ordered it to be delivered and regret it.

Howard Wangs is a leader in Chinese cuisine. This is not your run of the mill quick fix, this is a great place to ENJOY a meal. I have been a fan for several years, have hosted large parties, enjoyed delivery take out, and a quick lunch all with great service. This is a place for those who crave the freshest ingredients. Chewy noodles, crisp fresh veggies, and always delicious meats. On top of that the drink menu also has a fresh seasonal menu that keeps me coming back. read more

Door dash order: arrived HOT! Hot & sour soup 10/10 Wonton chips were stale - 1/10 Chicken fried rice 9/10 read more

It was okay. Very average Chinese food. I went at lunch on a Saturday and only one other customer was there. At first the waitress was a bit dry, but she was better by the time I finished my meal. read more

It's really like 3.5 stars, but i like to round up. We walked in right when they opened at 11. We were quickly seated and asked for our drink order. After adjusting from outside, it seemed that the air conditioning wasn't on or not working. Got kind of warm during this visit. The wait staff was really great when we got there but got worse over time when more people came in. Our 30-minute lunch turned into a 50-minute lunch due to the time it took to get the bill. The food was great! The lunch specials included a crispy small choice of either an eggroll or crab wonton. Then you have a choice of soup. I can't remember all the varieties but we enjoyed the hot and sour. It was fresh and had a nice quality to it. The entrées were really delicious. The scallops and shrimp in the dishes were large and of excellent quality. Veggies were cooked well, and the sauces tasted like they were made in-house. Overall, there is room for improvement, but given that it's so close to my work, I will absolutely be back to try this place again. Maybe when the weather calms down from being so hot in this Texas summer. read more

I have been going to Howard Wang's for the last 10 years of my life and I've never once had a bad experience until today first my food was incorrect, which is fine that's no big deal. I had it sent back. My rice was forgotten not an issue that's easy things to fix. when it was time to pay the bill, We had a bit of an issue getting the bill figured out. My friend had put down a $20 bill and a card to cover the rest that was not paid in cash. His bill was only $23. They ended up taking his $20 bill and charged his card $20 and then came back charged me for the remainder of his meal, which was $18 when my meal was only 13. which is fine things happen. We could've easily solved that problem by voiding the cards and re paying its whatever but our server decided to be very rude and arrogant charged all of our cards didn't wanna give us money back and assumed that the $20 was his tip even though why would we tip 100% on a $20 meal with subpar service? As I was explaining what happened because it was very obvious what needed to happen in order to get our change correct he walked away from me mid sentence and said that his manager was handling it and he'll come back. My bill is correct and He solved it but my friend's meal was still messed up. They had taken $40 from him and we're not going to do anything about it. They brought the manager out our server. Victor started laughing and saying all right, bro all right bro here's your money back as if they didn't take $40 for a $20 meal. Very bad experience. Do not go here if you want. Good service. read more

Do yourself a favor and get the jalapeno chicken and the lettuce wraps with shrimp then add extra shrimp from that to your jap chicken. So amazing. I typically get the Moo Goo but it's always too salty so I switched and I'm hooked. I took my assistant who never eats healthy and he loved the jalapeno chicken so much. Everything is so yummy here My favorite place right now next to Oishii and Ocean Prime. read more

Howard Wang's Preston Hollow - Mongolian Stir-Fry Dinner - Salad Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Great location, lots of parking, nice decor. Prices on the menu were great but what was up with the music they were playing ok the speakers. 80' music from "pour some sugar on me" to "girls just wanna have fun" to "I had the time of my life" and then "Caribbean Queen". Is this an 80's themes Asian restaurant ?? And now the food. The sweet and sour soup and the salt and pepper calamari were good. My general Taos chicken sauce was so soupy that you could not tell that the chicken had been breaded. Also the dish is supposed to have some spice and there was none. This was an okay restaurant read more

Ambiance and service were okay. Food not great. Not worth the money. Ginger salmon was overcooked.

Food, service and ambiance were terrific! Portions were generous and a very wide selection on the menu!

After staying away for 6 years we decided to try it again. What a mistake. The worst restaurant meal we have had... maybe ever. The Pad Thai was a bunch of ingredients swimming in a watery sugar bath. My order came out before my wife's. She waited for her chicken teriyaki for 10 minutes after my order arrived and it was inedible. The chicken was thin, translucent as if it had been soaked in a chemical bath and was more like chicken jerky. The teriyaki sauce was awful. We didn't eat any of our meal and while we ended up asking for containers to go we threw it out once home. When we mentioned our terrible meal to our sons one of them said they believe they got food poisoning there a few months ago and would never return. That makes 4 of us! read more

Howard Wang's did me dirty. I've always loved their food, it's been tried and true. I had a really bad day, and ordered delivery...I paid for, but did not receive a side sauce. My fried wonton side was waaay overdone. My fried rice was not included. My General Tsao's chicken was burnt and inedible. The Beef Lo Mein was "strange" and inedible according to my college student. The Hot and Sour Soup was good, so were the egg rolls. So I'm $80 lighter, my family is hungry, and I'm going to throw food away. A pet peeve of mine. What a shame, so disappointed that a staple let me down like that. Needless to say that I will not be clamoring to order again... read more

Was in the neighborhood and thought about trying something different. I've seen the sign for many years and finally decided to give it a try. Plenty of parking. Nice cherry wood décor inside. It was early Friday afternoon and no crowd. The bar had a few patrons that were having a great time! Fried wontons were dropped off as well as menus. Drinks were quickly delivered and our order was on the way to the kitchen. I was busily working on the fresh and good wontons plus the 2 dipping sauces (spicy mustard and a sweet and sour). The spicy was absolutely a nose and sinus clearer! Our food was out quickly. My first course was egg flower soup. The soup was very fresh tasting and the wontons were perfect for it! Right as we finished that course, out came the next. I ordered Mandarin Sweet and Sour chicken and beef with brown rice. The flavors were spectacular! The tartness and sweetness of the pineapple and sauce made me smile! Good portion size for a lunch and had the right amount of chicken and beef. Service was perfect, price was reasonable for the great taste and freshness plus we were on our way in no time. read more

Howard Wang's was once my favorite Asian restaurant, but last night was horrible. There were 5 of us. When we arrived a little after 6:30 pm, we were the only party in the place. Soon after the place started filling up. One of us got their order of sweet and sour chicken. After about 15 minutes, no one else had received their entrees. I asked one of the servers what was going on. Nothing. Finally I asked for the manager. He was very sorry and we got a strange excuse. Within a few minutes 3 more of us got our entrees. One of us still did not. We waited and waited. Finally about 10 or so minutes later the last plate came out. The manager did comp us some money off the bill so I appreciated that. To make things worse was my favorite dish; Hunan Beef. This has always been a favorite of mine, and I always clear my plate. This time it was not great at all. Many of the pieces of beef were grizaly and chewy. In the past the beef in this dish was melt in your mouth tender. Also, there were so many different vegetables in the dish that usual. I basically fished out the meat and ate a few pea pods and carrots. I'm really bummed with this most recent visit. Maybe it was a fluke. In the past I've usually gone at lunch. This time it was for dinner. read more

Been here many times but, my god, how the mighty hath fallen. I have been here five or six straight times recently -- both dine-in and takeout -- and well, it used to be good. Used to dine here over and over. Not anymore. To start - rude service. The owners have taken their talents elsewhere. Orders have been consistently wrong (dine-in and takeout -- the latter of which I "checked" before leaving, only to find that the bottom was something entirely different from which I ordered). Moreover, the food just tastes stale. And they've raised their prices. This is not high-dollar Chinese food. I'd rather order from the crappiest to-go Chinese food place in town and take my chances. Nowadays, about the only thing good here is dessert -- and even that is overpriced -- and is ordered in from some third party. What once was a good place is going to close soon unless the original owners step back inside and uncover the current mess this place that high-brow people (used) to frequent for a semi-upscale Chinese meal. On "busy" nights, this place is rarely full. Sad. Seems like recent marriages within the family have killed this mini-chain. On to the next, after many years. This place downright sucks now. Hate to say it. Shut it down and rebrand under a new name or something. Just awful, repeatedly. I've had enough. EDIT: it's even worse. I ordered scallions in my latest dish; they charged (and put in) Scallops -- TWICE -- at a price of $22 extra dollars, with no refund offered) instead. Learn English, please. Asked for no bamboo shoots in a stir-fry. Apparently "no" means "mo(re)": instead, they overloaded the dish with them. Stay away from this absolute tire fire. NEVER, EVER AGAIN! Have fun if you like your order screwed up each and every time (and tastes like crap now with an apparent new cooking -- notice I didn't use the word 'chef' -- crew)! read more

we ordered take out last night tried a chicken dish and i asked for extra snow peas and water chestnuts - they said they no longer use water chestnuts - isn't that like a staple Chinese food - the chips which we love were huge and hard and stale - we have had better food there before - the food has really gone down since the owners are no longer there read more

Terrible. Don't go! Half of the plates are disgusting sauce. Ribs are dry, burnt to black, covered with gooey sauce. Don't know what you would call that dumpster worthy stuff. read more

2nd time ordering in town. Great Chinese takeout. We had the chicken low mein pork fried rice and chicken wings. Very nice.

We were fortunate enough to have an in-person experience at Howard Wang's. It was great to see they are following CDC guidelines for restaurants regarding Covid-19. There were not a lot of people in the restaurant so there was ample room for everyone. As far as the food goes, hands down one of the best around. The orange chicken was so flavorful. The wonton soup will have you wanting more. The vanilla prawns were the absolute best. Everything that I tasted was full of flavor, but not over seasoned. Hot and fresh with the perfect amount of flavor. I had an amazing experience; therefore, I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Wow - fallen a long long way and not surprising. We have been regulars for maybe 20 years for good reason . This week was an exception. We had a long day with kids activities and my wife and I showed up at 820pm to unwind at the bar and grab a bite. Firstly, the bartender kept pretending to hear our " dine here" for "to go" about 5 times and looked disappointed when I firmly corrected him. We are not native speakers but we present at 1000 person conferences in English for the last 20 years and have never had any issues. The poor service and attitude continued till we left. Food was good and the lady server more than made up with smiles. Not going back at least till the big cool wannabe bro at the bar is gone. read more

We ordered food from this disgusting place from Door Dash. What arrived I would not feed to a dog. fried rice tasted like a filthy grill. Eggplant was in a watery liquid that looked like waste. How does one burn wonton chips and chicken wings and not notice? Ice cream arrived mostly melted. I seriously hope I don't get food poisoning from tasting this garbage. I am working with door dash and my credit card country to retrieve my money. I have no idea how this place is even in business. read more

Old time Chinese American fare. Love the service and variety. I especially like that everything is they will modify the spice level and ingredients if necessary Always friendly and extremely clean environment read more

Much nicer than average for Americanized Chinese food. I got the Moo Goo Gai Pan for my dinner entree. Portion size was bigger than expected, lot more chicken than expected. The sauce was really flavorful without being too salty. Came with a side of your choice of rice. I got fried rice. Nothing special, and no complaints. If it came with crispy chow mein noodles, would easily be a meal for 2... I didn't see the option on the menu, but I wonder if they'll do it for an upcharge? For my appetizer, I got the wonton soup. It was 'ok'. Flavor was fine, but was a little cold. I got there near the end of the night, so maybe it was the last of the batch? Bet it will be better if it's proper temperature. I got a Hitachino beer, a little steep at $8... Will try a different one next time. Service wise, my server was friendly and attentive. Other staff was friendly too, but a little slow to acknowledge me to get seated. Overall, way better experience than when I went to Jia. I'd like to try it again during a more prime time to see if the small issues are better, and this place could be a 5 star for the price range. read more

Stopped by on a Friday night for dinner. We ordered drinks and after 2 attempts, it was clear that the bartender had no clue how to make a Manhattan. Changed our orders to wine. Nice fried noodles were placed on the table. We ordered duck, shrimp and a salad with tuna on the top. Both the duck and shrimp were decent, especially the side of bok choy and yummy snap peas under the shrimp. The salad took about 10 minutes after the other entrees. I sent my rare tuna back as it was sliced and cooked all the way through. Decided not to get anything as we were heading out and on a schedule. Server was very friendly and apologetic. Not sure if I would bother again as there are so many other options in the area. read more
