Canton Wong #2

I would not recommend anybody eat here. I used to eat here but the last time I went in I saw a cockroach on the counter. They need a health inspection.

The lady who took my order was not just quiet but a bit difficult to understand. Maybe just raising her voice would have helped. She was very nice in explaining the menu, but I had to lean over the counter to catch the words she pretty much whispered.
What I ordered: Twice Fried Shrimp with Fried Rice and Sweet and Sour Soup.
Twice Fried Shrimp — the sauce was good, but I had ended up scraping off the batter from the shrmip. Dipping the shrimp into the sauce, making it a whole lot better. The fried rice was good, typical of any fast food chinese place.
Sweet and Sour Soup — it looked like brown gelatin. Gross. I took one bite and thought, no it couldn’t taste that bad. So I took a second bite, yup — it is bad. It had a strange after taste.
Soda — I saw the fountain drink station so I ordered a soda. Well, needless to say she proceeded to pull a 2 liter from a refrigerator and poured my drink from that into a to go cup.
I won’t be going back.

Wish I could only give them 1 star. We had a pretty large order delivered to us. One of the girls found a roach in their food. Not a little bitty thing a big freaking roach. After that no one ate their food. If you have one roach you have thousands or roaches. When we called them, they said well it was only a problem with one, we will bring you a new order… Yeah No, you will come and pick up all your food and refund us the money. After arguing about that for a bit, they finally did just that. Will never be eating their again!

The first time I tried this establishment, I thought it was decent food and they delivered. 2^nd time ordered take out. lady on phone said it would be 20 mins for the food to be ready for pickup. got their waited additional 30mins. almost left when i walked in. the place looks dirty. took food anyways. was immediately disappointed. food looked gross and not prepared properly. still ate some and it did not taste right. will look for another place that will deliver in future.

The menu is very hit or miss. The egg drop soup is bad. Avoid it at all costs. The hot and sour isn’t good either, the flavor profile is off. But it is at least edible. Both the wonton and sizzling rice soups are good.
As far as entrees, I recommend avoiding anything that is deep fried. It’s usually overdone, or dripping in oil. The egg rolls, fried wontons, fried chicken wings, and crab puffs (misnomer since they have no crab or even krab) are all disappointing. And they don’t use enough vegetables in the sweet n sour dishes.
The wok sauteed cooked items are better. The Kung Pao chicken is decent. As are the Yui Shan items. Don’t get anything with beef. It’s low quality and tough.
The most reliably good item here is the house fried rice. It’s a bit greasy, but has a great flavor and is packed with pieces of chicken, pork, shrimp, and green onions. For about $ 7, you can’t go wrong. It’s a lot of food and microwaves well.
Overall this place is merely average. There are better Chinese restaurants in this town, and there are worse. It’s not a bad place to eat at once in a while, but don’t expect a 4 or 5 star experience. It’s cheap, run of the mill, Americanized Chinese food.
In most cases, the American Chinese food restaurants in the valley have pros and cons. Very few crank out consistently good food all the time.

I noticed that a couple of people had left some pretty rough reviews and I had to leave one to set the record straight. This place is great. I have been eating here for 6 years and the only complaint that I have ever had was a waiter that was rude. He was handled very quickly and is no longer there. The existing staff is very friendly and personable. The food is excellent… the best fast Chinese that I have had in Phoenix. The menu is full of choices and they have something for everyone. Everything is cooked to order and piping hot when you get it. The décor is nothing to write about but hey… its a cheap Chinese restaurant in an old building in an older part of town. They must be doing something right because they have been there for a long time and they are not short on faithful return customers.
I’m fairly certain that those who didn’t like it were expecting to have a gourmet meal in a fancy setting and it is simply not that type of place. Spend some more money if you want fancy people!

Some of the worst food I’ve had, period. I placed an order for delivery: cashew chicken with white rice, fried wontons, and egg drop soup. The whole order cost around $ 13 with free delivery. The lady on the phone was nice and the delivery guy seemed alright, too.
Once I received my food, I was severely disappointed. It was greasy and most of the food was cold. I started with the wontons, which had zero filling and the accompanying sauce had the consistency of jelly. So I put that aside for the egg drop soup. The soup was yellow, thick, and cold. It pretty much looked like they just whisked a bunch of egg yolks and called it a day. I hoped the chicken entrée was at least partially decent, but I was again disappointed. The chicken AND the cashews were soggy (how does one make soggy cashews? I’ve never encountered this before), while the rice that came with it was cold and hard. Ugh, everything was thrown out and I ended up eating a peanut butter sandwich for dinner.
