I've ordered from here several times since I moved to PG county February 2025, but keep forgetting to make a review and take pictures of what I ordered. I love me some fried rice just like everyone else, but decided to try some lo mein and the combination when came with shrimp, chicken, and beef. I always make it spicy because that how I like it! Just so I have some veggies I ordered a side of edamame. Now the prices are not cheap and I can't say it's only because I ordered from door dash or Grubhub. We know for connivence prices on these sites are more expensive. Maybe one day I'll take a stroll into DC to check out the place. I just hope it doesn't disappoint and makes me not want to order from them again. It was cinco de mayo so the service was very slow over an hour to get our food. But when it finally arrived it was surprisingly still warm enough for me to dig in to check out the flavor. It was some good lo mein not too greasy and has enough of all three proteins. What I wish they would have added more veggies and a tad bit more garlic and spice. But other than that it was a good amount of food. I will definitely order from them again...this time actually go into the restaurant. read more

One of my favorite Chinese Food places is called Fortune China located in Owings Mills. Naturally as someone living in the DC Metro I simply can't justify venturing off to Baltimore County for Chinese food. As I hunt for great Chinese I stumbled upon New Big Wong and I gotta say it's up there for best Chinese in DC Metro. I always judge a Chinese food place by their portions and beef and broccoli (my go to dish) but I also tried the dumplings, egg rolls, and crab rangoons. The crab rangoons are huge and while I wish there was a little bit more crab they were a great side dish. The egg rolls wee massive and I enjoyed the fillings, the dumplings were great! Well seasoned. The beef and broccoli was solid. Not better than Fortune China but not terrible! Overall would try this place again. read more

New Big Wong was a total surprise for me as I was just wanting to find something quick to eat in DC Chinatown. Well looks can be decieving as this is tucked away in a downstairs basement front. Open entering in, there are many tables for you to sit down on, and generally you are served water and the menu right away. If you like chinese food, then you know what to expect here. I wanted something simple, so I got dumplings and chicken fried rice. Their fried dumplings are more of the same fare you get anywhere else. It's greasy, it's savory, and it'll keep your stomach happy. Just make sure to dip it with soy sauce. The chicken fried rice was gigantic when it came out. I think it's more of a family style dish to share with, but of course knowing me that's not something I can accomplish eating on my own. The fried rice was perfect, I don't really have much to say is, I wonder how it'd fare if I went during late night hours instead. This is a solid place to check out. I highly recommend checking this place out! read more

Small, lowkey & nothing fancy but packs a mighty punch on their dishes! Hidden, in the basement of a chinatown business front...is New Big Wong. It's been around in downtown DC like forever! Be careful when driving are looking for this place because .... one blank of an eye while driving down the H Street Chinatown area, you might miss it. It's just that in assuming... especially at night. lol. The food is delicious and the prices are very good. The portions are big here too..... not to mention the meats & vegetables used are always fresh. My go to and one dish that is always on realest and that this restaurant is famous for is the "Dry Scallop Fried Rice" dish! It's one of the best. It comes in one size and is loaded with shrimp scallops crab meat ....& lot of flavor! The Peking Duck dish is another favorite of mine from this restaurant as well. On any given day, you will find the restaurant pretty crowded which is a good sign, but both carryout and dine in available if ever in the area. This restaurant tends to get a lot of Uber eats DoorDash orders I noticed as well. I definitely recommend if you're looking for authentic Cantonese cuisine and good Hong Kong fare..... that is on an American-Asian carryout vibe ..... This is your place! Most meals are roughly around $15 to $20 and the servings are huge. Worth every penny.... Go here and thank me later! read more

Excellent service and very good Chinese food. They open late night so that a plus. Staff is quick and friendly. The eh don't take no bs though. Come eat and pay. Lots of party people late night enjoying their Chinese food. Big menu and cozy place. Their soy sauce chowmein is the best. I like the crispiness texture. We came here twice during our trip to DC. Late night of course. Come hungry, leave happy. One of the few places open late and is authentic. read more

The customer service at this restaurant is awful. I ordered a pick up order off of Uber Eats and one of the ladies came running after me thinking I didn't check with the guy in the back. Before the lady ran over I gave my information to the guy in the back and then got my order. Trying to run and chase a customer out of a restaurant is bold for a business that had maybe 5 tables at dinner time. I would never do a pick up order from Uber Eats from this restaurant again. read more

Do not sleep on the noodle soups. The portion was incredibly generous and diverse in their seafoods. I got gigantic scallops and just poached shrimp. This was a takeout order, but the noodles were just par cooked so that by the time it reached me they were still separated and bouncy. They did not skimp on the bok choy so it felt super healing to have in the colder months. And the broth was golden, clear, and incredibly umami. The delicate seafood flavor really carries this dish, and the fragrance of the white pepper really shines through. I love a classic noodle soup like this. When its this well executed, its hard to come by in DC. read more

I was in DC with my wife for her conference. I was craving late night american style chinese food. I stumbled upon this place and it marked all the check boxes. The fried rice had plenty of scallop strands and shrimp, the beef chow fun had plently of wok hei, and the hot and sour soup was hot and sour. The mu shu chicken was really salty. Everything must have had tablespoons if msg, because I drank gallons of water when I got home, but it stands for make stuff good. It's not the best, it's not the worst. The lady there checked on us frequently. I don't know why DC chinese food is so expensive. It was like $20 a dish. That would be like 12-16 on the west coast. But whatever. read more

I went on a whim. I wanted some cheap Chinese food, and for the most part, Big Wong didn't disappoint. I had the salted fish fried rice which was da bomb. I mean how could you go wrong with such a simple dish. Regardless, NBW delivered. The fried rice was good, the tea was warm. The price wasn't perfect, but the food did feed me twice that day. So, why the "3" ? First, the place did not look like the picts. at all. When I was there, the place was a little dark and dingy. The kinda place that white people will never go near, but I'm used to it. As for the service, it was your usual HK Chinese service. The bathroom was also terrible and dirty. Again, the "3" was just for the food and nothing else. read more

Ok there is no utensils!! So what are we going to eat it with? Hands?? Order here through door dash. The food is not even good. The portion is too small for 20 bucks entry. No soy sauce or chili on the Steamed or Pan Fried Meat Dumpling the Wonton & Noodle Soup Hong Kong Style | 云吞面 has 4 wontons with 1 cup of soup. The Sautéed Snow Peas Leafs with Garlic 大蒜豆苗 does not taste anything and it cause 20 bucks!! Come on now!! What is this? Will not order here when I visit DC again!! read more

New Big Wong - Orange Chicken | 陈皮鸡 - Cantonese Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Absolutely terrible, despicable, and unacceptable service. My friend recommended this place because they tried it and said the food was absolutely delicious. My friend and I ordered our food at the same time, even placed the same order for combination lo mein. The only difference in the order was that I ordered a drink and he didn't. When we got there, he paid for his order, the amount matched what he was quoted online, and his food was ready right then and there as expected. When I got there right after him, the amount that they rang me up for was somehow actually more than what I was quoted online, which the online system DID include tax tip, and fees. I actually had to go back and ask the person that rang me up for an itemization of the receipt to make sure that they charged me for the correct order. It was a small difference in price so I didn't pursue it any further. I, however, became very irritated when I was quoted 11:15 for my order online to be ready, which is approximately 20 minutes from the time I ordered it. I waited an extra 30-40 minutes beyond that time for my order to be ready. The only reason my order came out was because I became fed up and asked for my money back, at which time suddenly my order finally showed up. It makes me wonder what the purpose of even ordering online was if my order was still going to take an extra 30 minutes from the time I even got there, which no one else seemed to have to wait that long. It also raises a question of whether they even had my order in the system, whether they even cooked it, and why it took an entire 30-40 minutes to make a combination lo mein. To add insult to injury, one of the people working there bumped me several times and did not say a thing and just rolled her eyes at me, which I find very disrespectful and borderline racist and discriminatory. Even my friends noticed her excessively rude demeanor. Even if the food is very good (which at the time of this review, I have not yet tried it so I can't confirm if it is) I doubt I will be back on the basis of the experience alone, which was nothing short of absolutely horrifying. read more

Ate here again, this time by myself late at night after flying in late. It was notes places you can have a sit down that was still open. Just had the pan fried dumplings and beef with broccoli. Both were tasty. Quick. And very reasonable in price. Good place to go in a pinch. read more

Solid service in Chinatown. Fast great food. Got 9 dishes in less than 20 minutes. We got walnut shrimp, mapo tofu, fried rice, seafood delight, pad thai and more and boy were they good. Recommend for big groups. read more

We ordered carryout for four of us via DoorDash. It arrived quickly, and was fresh and hot. My shrimp egg foo young was full of shrimp, and it came with a separate large container of brown gravy -- perfect! I also had a couple of the crabmeat fried wontons, and they were very yummy. The others had General Tso's Chicken, Orange Chicken, and Cashew Chicken. All greatly enjoyed their choices. We also appreciated that we could easily opt for fried rice versus white with each order. This was recommended by a restaurateur relative as the best Chinese in the area, and after our meal from here, I'd agree! Thanks! read more

The fried rice is extremely delicious. You can def taste the wok! Beef Chow Fun, bomb. I would most definitely eat here again.

History of Present Indulgence: After a night out in Chinatown, we needed a spot for dinner and noticed how popular New Big Wong was, so we decided to give it a try. Physical Exam: Food - The food is essentially New York takeout-style Chinese food. The entrees weren't terrible, but nothing stood out, and honestly, I don't even fully remember what we ordered. It's the kind of place my parents would have been disappointed in, and I felt the same. It'll satisfy a craving for sesame chicken or other takeout staples, but that's about it. Service - A typical mom-and-pop operation with quick service to keep up with the demand. Ambiance - Basic and no-frills, with a location right next to Capitol One Arena and a divey bar scene that clearly drives much of its popularity. Assessment/Plan: New Big Wong is fine if you're looking for a quick fix of takeout-style Chinese food in the heart of DC. Otherwise, you're better off heading out of the city for more authentic or memorable Chinese cuisine. It gets the job done, but not much more. read more

I ordered from Uber Eats and both the soy sauce chicken and duck were dry and neither tasted fresh. In fact , I shared this with a friend from China , who said that the food was really substandard. I have eaten before in the restaurant and it was good, but this was a very poor meal , and it should have been replaced or refunded. read more

The ambiance is just okay, but the food is absolute perfection, perfect for a late-night binge. It's high-octane flavor that justifies every single calorie. Service was good, lady was super nice and helpful. read more

Food was good but not very flavorful, the fried rice didn't really quench my soy sauce craving it was kind of dry. The service was good but the rice did take a longer time than others.

Stopped by today for lunch, I do agree with some of the comments that seem to frequently mention lackluster customer service, their gratuity, and inflated prices in general.

There was a lot of hype around this restaurant. I didn't want to believe it because the food seemed like standard greasy Chinese American fare, but I can now say that this is my go to spot for takeout. They are consistently good, there's a ton of variety, and the flavor is great. read more

awful food and horribly priced. terrible quality just not worth the price. would not recommend.

The old saying "Don't judge a book by its cover" applies here big time. From the outside as you walk down a few steps you may wonder if you made a bad choice. Don't worry you didn't, this place is so good. The service was excellent. The food was great. I started with the wonton soup, it had two large wontons and the broth had good flavor. I got chicken lo mein for my main course. A very large portion, with lots of chicken and veggies. Cooked and seasoned just right. There are a lot of options in DC 's chinatown for authentic food, be sure to put New Big Wong on that list. read more

Went here last Saturday to get a quick bite to eat at Chinatown. Should've just gone to the Vietnamese restaurant next door. I got the chicken fried rice. The portion was large (which isn't necessarily a bad thing) but not well done. The rice was a bit too salty, and the chicken was barely cooked enough. I feel like I was going to get salmonella. The person I was eating with got the noodles. They were way too salty and greasy, and she told me that the shrimp weren't well cooked. I also didn't really like the atmosphere. Im only giving this 2 stars because of the proximity to the Gallery Place-Chinatown station and the service. Y'all could do way better. read more

I have been a patron of the New Big Wong since it was BIG WONG! I moved to DC in '94 (Chicago native) and this has been the authentic Chinese food I am accustomed to eating (New York as well). I love it here! Ok, so hands down THE best beef and broccoli I've had! This dish has easily beat the B&B in place I've gotten it from in Chicago and New York! Please try the Kan Shaw Yee Mein (noodles stir-fried with beef, chicken, and shrimp) and the XO Sauce Short Ribs as they are my other "go to's" and they never disappoint! I see a few complaints about the service but I've never experienced a less than welcome environment. Even when I'd take my children in as infants (they're now 21 and 23), I got amazing service! We know it can get tough maneuvering dinner time with an infant and toddler at home so getting great services cry in a restaurant with little one is a rarity! I don't know...there's just something about an unsuspecting eatery that gives the food an extra yummy factor! The New Big Wong is definitely a gem (insert chef's kiss * here)! --- I was going to deduct a star for prices BUT they have only updated prices with the economy so I put the star back :) read more

Went in tonight. Placed to go orders in person. Staff was pretty rude. Waited 45 mins for chicken lo mein, went to check on it, clearly it had been given away. They said they'd remake it. When it was ready we got no notice. I went back and asked; staff didn't make eye contact with me and it was just rude all around. $20 for lo mein too. read more

We took a chance since it was late, 9pm but they don't close til late so we decided to give it a try. I don't know why this place only has 3 stars but the food was bomb diggity!!! Anytime I'm craving greens or veggies, I know I can count on an authentic Chinese restaurant to deliver and New Big Wong definitely did! We ordered the following dishes: Chicken Corn Soup Combo Fried Rice Chicken and Green Beans Garlic Chives The dishes tasted exactly as I had expected. Quality - check Freshness of veggies - check Flavor - check Quantity - check (we leftovers) We were the only patrons in the restaurant and we got all the attention from the staff so issues with the service. It seems that take out or delivery was the main bread and butter for this business. I would definitely come back to this place. read more

Down and dirty late night grub for those that burn the midnight oil. You might get "dinner and a show" while there as the restaurant gathers some very eclectic people. Last time there had a patron break out into song while eating. Time before that someone wanted money for acting out parts of movies. Food is standard fare for Chinese cuisine with all of the plates that most people order. There are traditional plates as well. read more

Poor service! My friends and I visited this restaurant last night & were disappointed by the service we received. Upon entering, we were not acknowledged; the staff continued their tasks as if we weren't there. After finally getting a staff member's attention, she was notably standoffish during our attempt to place an order. What stood out was that, after about ten minutes of waiting, a Caucasian family entered and was immediately greeted, seated, and provided with water and menus. This disparity in treatment left us feeling unwelcome and concerned about the establishment's practices. read more
