My wife & I were very excited to try Wong's based on reviews here and when we arrived at the restaurant. It has the kind of "dive" vibe we get very excited about. I can't see what the hubbub is about. The food was pretty terrible overall. I am willing to consider that we ordered wrong, but we got Kung Pao Chicken, Dry-Fried Shredded Beef, Wong's Special Chicken, and Pot Stickers. Going item-by-item, the pot stickers were frozen and can be purchased at any Asian grocery store, so, essentially, they were something I can and do make at home. The beef was not shredded but sliced (which makes dry-fried dishes very hard to eat) and tasted like old fry oil and ketchup, disgusting. The special chicken was initially pretty excellent. It is fried chicken in a sweet-and-sour sauce, very similar in style and presentation to Springfield, MO-style cashew chicken. As we ate more of the dish, however, it became apparent that this chicken was breaded in Chinese donut batter and also tasted of old fry oil. Disappointing. I saved my discussion of kung pao chicken for last. This is one of my favorite Chinese dishes in the world, and we ordered it because one of the regulars waiting for take-out recommended it. This is, without a doubt, one of the saddest dishes I have ever eaten. It had no flavor: no salt, no soy sauce, no ginger, no Szechuan peppercorn, nothing. It tasted of celery, if anything at all. Additionally, the dish was swimming in a watery, brown-grey sauce that was the result of the zucchini in the dish. I'm okay with overly sauced Chinese food, but without any flavor and not thickened with cornstarch, this was just a mess. Additionally, the chicken tasted like it had been par-boiled before being stir-fried, so it was tough, flavorless, and an unappetizing grey color. Completely disgusting. As I said at the beginning, I am willing to wager that we should have ordered the fried rice, which people seem to recommend, but I don't believe we will be trying Wong's again, as this food just isn't up to snuff. read more

I have to tell you the place inside is a little dark, and really needs paint. But the food is so good the atmosphere fades. We ordered the sizzling rice soup and I could take this intravenously its that good. I will definitely be back, they have take out or dine in. Make sure you try this place. read more

Wong's Chinese Dining - Sizzling Rice Soup - Chinese Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I've been coming here since I was a kid! Wong's is such a great place, very noticeable from the street with its bright red exterior. The interior hasn't changed at all! I remember their huge refrigerator off to the side as a kid and that thing is still alive and kickin! It's definitely outdated but it's totally the charm of the place. Now for the food. I'm not gonna lie, I used to be extremely picky as a kid and would only get the teriyaki chicken or the house chicken. Now as an adult I've ventured off and tried new things. I think I've had everything on the menu at least once throughout my lifetime. My favorite dish currently is the Emperor's Favorite, chicken and shrimp with mixed veggies in a spicy white sauce. Yum! The soups are also amazing. I'm a huge fan of egg drop soup and Wong's just knows how to do it. If I were you I would also try the egg rolls, so good! and only $1 per egg roll! I'll always be a fan of Wong's and it will always be my go to Chinese restaurant. read more

The joint itself is run down. The food is out of this world though. I get this every friday for lunch.

Wongs is the BOMB!!!! Chop Suey is yummy yummy to my tummy!!!! Nuff said =p

Even though the place looks a little rundown the staff is courteous and the food is delicious. Been coming here for years and love going there. Always a great experience. read more

This place is very unassuming from the looks on the outside. BUT! Don't let that fool you!! Once you step inside, you'll see that it will be packed with patrons who know that the food is delicious! The price is right for the food and the friendly service you get here! read more

The food is amazing, but you might want to consider carrying a weapon when you come. You might end up getting shanked.

Did you ever wish there was some undiscovered place left in Phoenix that has absolutely amazing food? This is it!!! I'd pay double for the humble ambiance and the sweet Chinese lady who served us. The food was fresh, fresh, fresh. Yum! I am loathe to tell you about his because once this 35 year old gem is discovered, I won't be able to get a table. read more

Now that is some sad Chinese food. Cheap yes, but not good. I was hoping to find that " hole in the wall" place that nobody would try without knowing. But it is a rundown crappy place with not so good food. read more

Best chinese in phoenix is so good. Must taste.. the shrimp chop suey. Brocoli beef and pork fry rice are my fav. So yummy..

Wong's is hands down, the BEST chinese food in Phoenix...period!

I read the reviews and I thought I would take the chance. Yep got this one completely wrong. the place is an absolute dump. You would be better off eating your own hand. I got the teriyaki chicken. The chicken was unrecognizable nasty chunks of deep fried chicken dumped on brown liquid rice. The egg roll was not too bad I did eat that. I could only eat a few bites of this teriyaki chicken. This was one of the worst Chinese restaurant I have eaten at in years. read more

This place gets all five stars for a good reason. We were looking for a place to eat around PHX SkyHarbor while we waited for our luggage to arrive on a later flight. We Googled Chinese places and Wong's Chinese Dining was one of the closest to the airport. My mom and I showed up and the joint was FULL! We grabbed a booth and ordered in three minutes; we were that hungry! Our food came quickly and we just about inhaled our potsticker appetizer. It was so flavorful and yummy. My mom ordered the Twice Cooked Pork and I ordered the Kung Pao Chicken. Both were delicious! We also shared a pot of hot tea that reminded us of the tasty authentic tea we drank in Beijing. Altogether we paid no more than $27. The service was also AWESOME. The mighty Wong himself greeted every table and was courteous and attentive. Our orders came quickly and the place was clean. All of the staff were very kind and friendly, as well as professional. Parking was great and convenient. Would we go back? YES! Would we recommend to friend, family, and strangers? HECK YES. read more

After coming home from work not feeling so good, the husband graciously offered to pick up some Chinese food for us! Go him. Wong's happens to be fairly close to the house and we'd never tried it (due to its scary exterior), so we figured we'd go for it. I ordered the sizzling rice soup (which only comes in a large size for 7.50) and he ordered the sweet and sour chicken (about 8.50). My soup was steaming hot when it got to our house, so that was great, but the rice didn't really sizzle....weird for sizzling rice soup. It should be noted that the soup broth was more of a wonton broth (as opposed to other places that have more of an egg drop broth base) and contained large vegetables (that were fresh and tasty and included celery, broccoli, carrots, snow peas, etc), different meats and shrimp. The soup was sort of layered indicating (to me) that they cook the meat and veg separately from the broth and add it in later. All of the shrimp was at the bottom, followed by pork and chicken (and green onions), with veg on top. This was fine and probably wouldn't be the case if you ate the food at the restaurant. Overall it was a solid bowl of soup, better than a lot of restaurants, but still nothing I would really think about later. The husband's sweet and sour chicken was on the bland side... not very sweet... and the chicken was the typical fried puff balls of unknown chicken parts... he though it was ok, and I didn't care for it. For the prices, I would consider going back, but it wouldn't be first on my list. read more

This place looked very sketch but to my surprise it was delscious! The employees were beyond friendly. The only thing I did not like was that they did not have sriracha, and the chili oil that they had was gross. read more

Like so many others, I passed this ancient building for years thinking "hell no, keep moving, nothing to see". Finally curiosity and well, Yelp reviews, got the better of me so one day out of the blue we stopped. We ate, and ate, and ate like it was going out of style. Everything we tried was flavorful and bountiful, who cares about the sparse interior. The food is what matter here. Wor Wonton Soup and Hot and Sour Soup were chock full of ingredients and spot on. The only miss, was Chop Suey. It tasted good but was heavy handed with the bean sprouts, (I mean a lot!) so if you like those, you'll be happy. The portions are huge, especially with the combo meals which are a fantastic deal and a great way to try more than one item from the menu. The service was attentive and friendly even though they juggle a steady stream of "to go" orders here as well. In the future, I'll be detouring down Buckeye more often to stop in for a bite or food to go. Its too good to pass on by. Keep up the good work Wongs! read more

Yup, all the reviews are correct. Just get past the location and looks and you'll find some authentic Chinese food. Pork fried rice is great, as is almost everything else I tried for the first time today. I WILL be back!! Amendment; food was good...but I did not feel very good afterwards. Still will give them another chance... read more

All the flavored I could ask for in one little in the hole spot!! I loved it here and I will be coming back!!! Don't judge this place by the way it may look outside!! Judge it by the great flavors in all of there dishes!!! A must try place if your thinking about it!!! read more

I absolutely love this place I've been to coming since I was a little girl, the outside looks kind of iffy, but the food is to die for really good. read more

Went there today with a couple of friends and was not disappointed! We were seated very promptly and our waitress was very eager to take our order. The place is really small, so it's understandable that they'd wanna move people through quickly. I ordered the House Special Chicken with a side of Crab Puffs. The Chicken meal was excellent and the portions were huge! Can totally get another couple meals and that's always a plus. Will definitely be going here again! Highly recommended! read more

East of the Mississippi, I can count the number of good American Chinese food joints I've eaten at on a single hand. For some reason they don't make "Chinese" food out here like they do back east. This place, while unassuming from the outside, is among those few places that fit on my hand. Their lo mein wasn't sickeningly greasy, the sesame chicken had just the right amount of crispiness, and the vegetables were fresh.The only reason I've withheld a star is because they ran out of fried chicken wings - this is the very first time I've been to a Chinese restaurant that ran out of them! read more
