I pass by Wing's Chinese most days on my way home from work, but stopped for the first time just days ago. I had planned on getting a couple of egg rolls (their quality is how I judge Chinese restaurants), but the appetizer plate was only a few bucks more and had other items I knew I would eat so I ordered that instead of just the egg rolls. The appetizer plate came with two egg rolls, two crab rangoon, two fried shrimp, and four pieces of fried chicken.
The egg rolls were meh. Yes, they were bigger than egg rolls at most other places, but they had a quality that teetered between homemade and freezer section at a grocery store. I wouldn't get them again.
As you can see in the picture I'm uploading, both crab rangoon were almost completely empty. Seriously, it's not hard to screw up crab rangoon yet somehow they managed to do so.
When I hear "fried chicken", I think of something like chicken wings or actual pieces of fried chicken. You know what I don't think of? Sweet and sour chicken. Like the egg rolls, the pieces were larger than usual, but calling sweet and sour chicken "fried chicken" is plain lazy.
The shrimp were fine. I thought the first one was heavy on the breading and light on the shrimp. If I had to pick one of the four items as "the best" it would probably default to the shrimp since everything else was a disappointment. read more
