Wong Wong

Love this place. One of the best Chinese food restaurants in Chinatown. We love getting the Beef Chow Mein (#94), House Special Fried Rice (no Soy sauce) and Salt & Pepper Fish! Just delicious. The service is pretty good. We come so much that I think we are VIPs.

Fast and cheap, can’t ask for more. Stick with the large rice platters and noodle soups and you can’t go wrong. I prefer Wong Wong over Sangkee because there is usually no wait and you pay less for the same product.

The bbq pork and roast pork were super tasty!!! Came with good price and service. Highly recommended

For years when in Philly my dad insist on only going to ting was. Which is great but my brother found this place and I am glad he did. Everything was great the roast pork the roast duck and the soup. The wonton noodle soup with roast duck is what dreams are made of. This stuff was so good I literally woke up Sunday and drove a half hour circled the block 20 times for a parking spot just to get this soup. Idk how they make the broth but I was about to take a 2 hour break from work to go get some today.

This is a very authentic Cantonese Chinese restaurant. We had sizzling eel in a casserole, wonton soup (shrimp), and beef lomain. The food is very fresh and yummy of course. I’ve been to Guangzhou where they mainly serve Cantonese food and I don’t see much difference, but it’d save me a flight ticket. I will be back again for sure.

Had the Peking Duck with the doughy buns scallions and sauce.
The duck was so good I got some to go. It was even delicious cold the next day.
Also had an order of pork with crispy skin and an order of salt and pepper fried beef. Both were delicious.
Service was friendly and quick.

I went on a cold Saturday evening and it was very busy. It is a small restaurant. So my best friend and myself had to wait for a table. It was very clean inside. The servers are very nice. I had ordered an appetizer. I had the Peking Duck roll. It was smoky sweet pieces of duck meat and skin rolled up in a flour roll. It was very good. I also had the Crispy roast pork and sautéed string beans in black bean sauce. It was delicious. The hoisin sauce on the side complimented the meat. The skin of the pork was nice and crispy. Overall I enjoyed the food. I would definitely go back. The hostess was sweet. She apologized for our long wait. It wasn’t a problem. It was worth the wait.

Good and cheap authentic Chinese food. Probably not one of the top Chinese restaurants in the area, but good if you’re around and don’t want to shell out a lot of $. My favorite dish was probably the scallion pancakes. Very crispy and fried to savory perfection!

Food came out not right on congee, a good congee should be cooking over three hours, it is watery and no rice taste, beside the congee, the Seafood with noodle is terrible, no scallops can be found in the dish plus the noodle only come with small portion, I would say this is not a real Chinese Resturant. Sorry to say that ! I don’t think I will eat in this restaurant next time when I come to Chinatown in Philadelphia

I went there with mg family on christmas day. I as for half of chicken and it was raw! It had blood everywere! when i told the waitress she said it was from the bone. Then i decided to take a picture of the chicken and tell the manager which give me ghe same excused. When i show her that i had a picture of it, she decide not to charge me the $ 7 for the chicken. Wtf really! Just because you know i was going to share my experience! Bad service! I wish i could upload the photo here! This was the second time that i go. The first time i went with my family again and just because not all of us were going to eat, after we order they just told us that why we dont take the order to go because it wasnt much! Really!!! I just cancel the order and we left. And still i dont know why i decide to give them a second chance. Shame on you…

Great!
1) Came here to get the duck with rice.
2) The service was fast.
3) Food is cheap.

I’ve been here multiple times over the past few years. Outwardly, you can’t distinguish this place between its neighbors. It has roasted meat hanging in the window for you to see but so do so many of the restaurants in Chinatown. While my dining neighbors have seem satisfied with their standard General Tsao’s, triple delight, and fried rice, I look to the more authentic dishes to satisfy my palate. I love the so-​called casserole entrees. To be sure, they’re not really casseroles but rather, are dishes stewed in sort of a small iron pot (although menu technically says clay pot), served piping hot with flavors melded together. The portion sizes are decent and those are usually $ 12 – 16. Casserole entrée-​wise, I love the beef stew with dried bean curd and the diced chicken with eggplant and salted fish. The salted fish has this slightly pungent smell I find wonderfully enticing but be aware that it might not be for everyone. Certainly you’ll have tons of leftovers if you’re eating the casserole on your own. The chicken with eggplant in the Poultry section is also really tasty. If you’re ordering for one person or aren’t feeling the casseroles, try the hot rice dishes, which are just $ 5.50 and up. I like the fillet grouper and pork chop peking style ones in particular.
FYI: They do accept credit card, but I believe there’s a $ 15 minimum. You’ll be fine sans Chinese since the wait staff does speak some English but obviously if you have an available Chinese friend, that works even better.

As I had mentioned previously, I tend to judge Chinese restaurants more harshly than most, and this is no exception. I was sad to find the place I had intended on going to was closed due to a family wedding, unfortunately, I came here as a «punt» because I was craving Cantonese food and this was close by.
I was craving wontons with rice noodles and roast pork (with the crispy skin). I was able to get all 3, which I was happy about. The price was right, too. It was very thoughtful of them to serve me the roast pork on the side so the skin stays crunchy. The broth was pretty good, the wontons were pretty good, but my biggest complaint is the rice noodles. The noodles are so wide, it was impossible to pick them up with chopsticks, making the dish super hard to eat, and since I had put some chili oil in it, I was splashing soup all over myself.
No complaints on the atmosphere and service of the place. It’s very clean and casual, and the servers were friendly.

— Food is very very affordable and for the portions are great!
— Noddle soup with roast duck for $ 5.50, bowl was bigger than I expected, duck was very flavorful
— I had #323 rice platter with Grouper fillet with bean curd for $ 6.50. The portion was enough for two people! Very filling! Fillet and bean curb was covered in crispy batter, fried and served with sauce over it. Would definitely get this again! The white rice was a bit hard, so I did not finish most of it.
— Fried Dumplings $ 5.95, the dumpling wrap was crispy and thin, but the filling could have been more flavorful. Mainly got this appetizer to surpass the $ 15 minimum credit card. Otherwise, cash only :(
— I had takeout here multiple times before and the portions for take out is the same as eating in
— Service was just okay, I don’t expect great service in Chinatown.
Other than the $ 15 minimum credit card ordeal and the hard white rice. Everything else was good. I would definitely come back here again, can’t pass up the good deal!

No need to add soy sauce… the food arrived heavy salted. Some dishes portions were small… maybe we ordered wrong… wait…were Chinese!
Not a good deal, but decent food and service.
Clean but small restrooms.

THIS REVIEW IS ONLY FOF THE FOOD. NOT THE SERVICE
I’m not sure if it’s the 2 hour drive from NY, but the food here is really good! I ordered a «guan chow ow haw» (dry fried noodle with beef), beef congee, roasted duck, and some veggies.
I’ve grown up eating Chinese food from the Chinatown of NYC and there I thought I had the best Chinese food. But the texture to everything is perfect. Not too dry, not over/​undercooked.
The service is kinda slow. They walk like a grandma with your food. (Or maybe I was just really hungry …)

Les crevettes frites avec des vermicelles de riz accompagnés d’échalotes et d’ail également frits, poivre et sel étaient excellentes.
Le plat de nouilles avec une cuisse de canard laqué et quatre Dim Sum comme second plat tout à fait correct.
Les boissons offertes: une théière de thé Oolong et deux verres d’eau. Nous avons commandé deux Coca Cola car nous avions très soif.
L’addition pour deux personnes taxes et pourboires compris: 30 dollars.

This a great Chinese restaurant for what you pay. Parking can be difficult but it’s located in china town so that’s common sense. What sticks out the most is the price you pay for food you get. I always leave here full and content. It’s more of a diner setting, the service isn’t the best but not a big deal. They take credit card or cash so that’s always a plus.

Really good lo mein noodles. The pork was sweet and crispy and the noodles were just oily enough to really quench that craving but not soggy or greasy. Yum. The wonton soup was off the hook. The broth was some of the best I’ve had. It was rich, a touch salty, meaty. I think there were small bits of green bean floating along with the green onions. I can’t be sure of that but it was nice too. The wontons themselves were just splendid. Large, tightly crimped, obviously hand made. Inside is a generous portion of ground pork and I think there was chopped shrimp too, almost like a shu mai dumpling. I could have been happy with just a large bowl of the soup. They didn’t serve any crispies, but to tell the truth, I didn’t notice until after. They bring hot tea to the table without your having requested it.
The place is small and the dumplings and soups are kept warm and plated near the front door/​cashier area. You can smell them and see them as they are dishing it up for you. Speaking of smells, as I walked through Chinatown looking for a lunch spot I had to pass up several places because the smell of butchered meat or maybe refuse was so strong on the sidewalk that I just couldn’t. No bad smells in front of Wong Wong though — at least not today.
The restaurant looks a bit divey but inside it has a locals vibe and seems clean. Very cozy. Everyone was polite without being overly friendly. I would love to try this place again for some other menu items. Can’t wait to be in Philly again.

It is often times said that two Wongs don’t normally make a right. And when I’m drawn to my old Chinatown standards that lead to Vietnamese food, hand drawn noodles or ramen, and especially the fact that David’s Mai Lai Wah is right across the street; that usually holds true.
But sometimes I can’t help but be drawn to things like spicy salt & pepper seafood, a mango triple delight, congee, various kinds of spring roll, and then some. And while Wong Wong might not be the best spot to go for each, it is the spot that offers a tasty variation of all of the above on a consistent basis. So much so that it has become the première spot for me to order takeout from when I’m drawn to Chinatown with a bout of ordering indecision. Throw a dart or drop a coin on their expansive menu, and nine times out of ten you’re bound to come across a good choice to order. And if you’re a meat eater you should also probably walk out with one of the fried mystery items that they have packaged on their counter.

I should’ve waited for the lunch specials, because I ended up paying $ 30 for this lunch, tip included, and something that was 1.80 (maybe the tea?). I like paying around $ 10. But oh well. I ordered the Sizzling Salmon Fillet In Black Bean Sauce and Fillet Grouper & Chinese Vegs, and instead of pan fried noodles I asked for the fun noodles.
For the first dish, the salmon being fried was unexpected, but probably only because I’m used to how my mom makes her salmon in a clay pot and there’s no frying involved. Overall it was good, the salmon was fatty (in a good way imo). $ 14
The fillet grouper was also fried, also a surprise only because I’m not used to eating fish fried. It was also good, nice ratio of fish to vegetables (bok choy, carrot slices, and snow peas). The substitution for the fun noodles was just a preference, that resulted in no regrets! $ 7
I took my time eating these dishes, so it took me 30 minutes to eat a little more than half of each. Normally I devour my food in 10 minutes, but since these portions were great, it took me much longer. This longer meal however, revealed to me that they add a little too much starch to their sauces, since it coagulated to (think americanized takeout) jelly around 25 minutes.
But overall taste is really good, dishes were made quickly (but I was the only one there at 10am), and the jelly sauce is just something I’d notice because I appreciate authentic non-​overstarched sauces (normal people don’t sit around for the food to get cold either).
