      My friend is very picky with Chinese food and he said this is one of the few he approves of. I was definitely impressed, it's high quality authentic food! The garlic eggplant was 10/10 amazing.

      We also got the boiling fish which they're well known for, and it was really good. The Lamb Cilantro was also great.

      Everything seemed a bit pricey, 4 dishes was over $100 (the boiling fish was $42) but they included tax and gratuity and the fish was a massive portion. It was enough for 4-5 people so at least portion sizes were good!

      Sucks to write this, but I loved Wonderful. Some friends ordered food from here, and we were a bit stunned from the 7% surcharge now for takeout? Bad business practice and tired of these scams.

      The food was decent, but this place is pricey.

      The owner of this place has been very controversial, I refuse to support a small business that isn't ethical.

      Some friends live in the area and recommended this place for lunch and we went as a group of about 8 people. This place seems like it's better for groups of 2-4 but luckily they had a space in the front for us where we combined several tables together.

      Everything was very tasty here. It seemed like everyone orders the scallion pancake but it seems much more like a scallion bread like the ones you get at chinese bakeries but slightly differently because of the way they cut it and serve it. It's a very good filler so if you have a lot of people and very hungry people then that's a good choice. There was one beef dish we ordered that seemed like the onion ratio was really high compared to the rest of the dish but luckily I'm a fan of stir fried white onions. The dishes I enjoyed the most were the green beans and tofu dishes we ordered.

      A bit on the smaller side place but has a lot of parking and a good spot with a local feel to it too!

      I was there for lunch and had a nice meal. They weren't too busy and we sat at one of the booths in the back near the kitchen. The menu is quite extensive and full of unusual choices. My favorite was the Smork with Smoked Tofu. The portions were large enough to have plenty to take home. They don't accept cash - only credit cards.

      Birthday celebration and Wonderful was their choice. My first time eating at Wonderful. It's a small, limited seating, no reservations Chinese family comfort food. We had to get there early to get seating for 6. The early people went ahead and ordered first so I by the time I got there food was already beginning to be served. I checked in on Yelp and was surprised my offer was a glass of ice cold water?! Kids ordered but we enjoyed all the dishes.

      All dishes were good. Service was good. Automatic 18% gratuity added to your bill. I expected that since we had 6 but as I read the reviews it seems this is also charged for no matter how many people in your party. No cash accepted so beware.

      I was craving spicy food that day so we went to wonderful. We ordered the boiling fish. The portion is huge so we didn't order anything else. However, the food is not authentic. The moment she served the fish, i found out that there was no garlic on top, then i know it's not gonna be authentic. And the fish on top has no flavor at all. I think they just boil the fish with water and put them on top. Im very disappointed in this dish :/ does not recommend ordering it.

      Stopped in with my cousin one rainy afternoon after he picked me up from the airport. It was quiet inside and there was plenty of seating available. We sat by the window in the front. We ordered the Smork with Leeks and the Boiling Hot Fish Fillets. We were served some hot tea as well--a must-have for the weather.

      The smork was as advertised--smoky and flavorful. A perfect contrast to the leeks! The fish was tender and spicy. I was so glad that these were our picks that day! But I have a feeling you can't go wrong with their options.

      Came back to have brunch again.
      Service is always attentive and very warm people. We ordered 3 things. Eggplant with garlic sauce is a go- to. Smoke with leeks is new to me. But super flavorful and delicious. Highly recommend. If you like tofu you will like the iron skillet tofu with onions. Came up sizzling hot!
      We have to come back for sure.

      I order for take out. The beef was not tender very chewy. The signature smoked pork fried rice was okay. The ambiance is casual.

      Pouring rain when we arrived so no wait despite it being 11am on Sunday. Within 30 minutes the restaurant was full.

      The place is really nice, clean, efficient. Service was brisk. Not complaining but just know that you aren't likely to get questions answered if you need explanations of the menu or its items. Easiest to just do your own research on Yelp and take a look at other peoples' pictures before you come in.

      Three of us ordered two dishes plus the steamed green onion pancakes and it was a lot of food for a lunch. Being unfamiliar with the food, we were confused by the small dish of ground pork set on our table before our food arrived -- which was exactly the same meat as the sauce for our noodles. We couldn't decide if it was related to the noodles which we ordered or something provided/gifted to the table? We ended up dumping it on the noodles (since it was the same) and then the server came refilled the small bowl with even more meat. We were all so confused but it was delicious so no complaints!
