    • Q:

      What time can we order for pick up on a Friday?

      A:

      You should be able to order once they open. If it's a large order such as catering, I would suggest to order a few days before so they can be prepared.

      Called in an order for pick up for Mother's Day dinner and was told the food would be ready within 10-15 minutes. Also got really lucky with parking right in front of the shop! :) The owner had a kind and sweet demeanor that made the experience even better. Everything we ordered was really affordable between the prices of $10-12 per plate.

      We ordered:
      - Honey Walnut Shrimp: Big pieces of shrimp that were super juicy and flavorful.
      - Lemon Chicken: Chicken was a little soggy but overall still good and had a sweet glaze to it.
      - Mongolian Beef: One of the best dishes we got! Came with more vegetables than beef but the flavor was phenomenal.
      - BBQ Pork Fried Rice: The portion of rice was HUGE. Delicious and did not disappoint.
      - Vegetarian Chow Mein: Really saucy noodles and came with lots of veggies.
      - Garlic Chicken Wings: Wings were crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. Amazing flavor and would order this again over and over again.
      - Salt & Pepper Fish: Very crunchy and good flakiness to the fish.

      Our total came out to $97, and we still had leftovers. The food was amazing, and everyone in my family enjoyed it.

      The literal definition of a hole in the wall restaurant! I've driven by here before but didn't even notice there was a restaurant in this area until I found it on Yelp. The prices are so fair, they have $10 plates all day, this price is basically unheard of for a meal nowadays! Their portions are also crazy huge and all of the food is freshly made to order. The food came out within 10 minutes after I ordered, the people here are all super kind and quick.

      Salt and pepper pork chop: I ordered this with extra jalapeno and it was so delicious. It came out crispy and hot & had the perfect amount of seasoning. The pork pieces were abundant but they were smaller than the typical salt & pepper pork chop you'd get elsewhere.

      Honey walnut shrimp: The shrimp pieces were so big and juicy!! The seasoning was sweet and creamy but I do wish there were a few more walnut pieces.

      Overall I'd definitely come back to try their other dishes! Parking is difficult & it's not in the safest area so I'd recommend coming with another person and having them double park while you run in and grab the food.

      Had to come back for this delicious Chinese food! I opted for the all day rice plates subbed with fried rice and chow mein. I did order pretty early through the phone around 11:30am. When I arrived, the food was ready.

      The mongolian beef was tender and delicious. It's one of my favorites from here. Sadly, the fried rice was a little hard, maybe old from last night or overcooked. The general chicken was a first time try for me and it was really good! It had a sweetness to the glaze that was on the chicken and overall really enjoyed it. The chow mein noodles were delicious as well. Great price and size!

      Cash only restaurant. Have only ordered take out from this place but worth it. Smallish seating inside and parking can be hard but they have a spot right in front for pickups.
      However, Good flavor, hot when picked up, friendly staff, good menu options.
      My family usual ordes the chicken wings, combo chow mein, sweet sour pork, honey walnut shrimp, salt pepper porkchops and lemon chicken.

      The definition of a hole in the wall. Take out only,

      Phones in an order of wonton noodle soup and general chicken. The soup broth was very bland much like water. The general chicken was good but salty.

      The prices are cheap. I'll try other stuff on the menu next time.

      Cash/venmo only
      Street parking only

      This a hole in the wall on the corner of the street that I almost totally passed by. I found this place via fellow Yelp reviewers when looking for a place for lunch for my family after visiting the nearby cemetery. They have indoor dining available but not a lot tables but we went on a weekday for lunch and had no problem getting a table. The service here is fantastic! The 2 guys helping us were very attentive and friendly and making sure we were comfortable and that the food was ok. The prices are also reasonable and the portions are very good. So they definitely have good going for them. There's a lot of items to choose from including lunch specials with rice. We did family style and ordered the following:

      Beef chow fun: lighter in color than I am used to but that was fine. Not too greasy.

      Honey walnut shrimp: great crunch to these and the shrimp were much bigger than expected

      Salt and pepper pork: a lot of pieces and nicely fried but more meat for each piece would have been nice. Also tasted like sugar might have been added.

      The food was fresh and hot and good but not great but I wasn't expecting it to be great for this price point. I would come back again. Remember that they only take cash and Venmo.

      We were craving Chinese food takeout and decided to give Wong's Cafe a try. It's very much a hole-in-the-wall restaurant located at a corner of an intersection. We did not realize this place did not accept credit cards--typically, they would mention that over the phone when we placed our order, but luckily, we had some cash in the car. Otherwise, they also take Venmo and Zelle.

      We had ordered the pan-fried dumplings, general's chicken, honey walnut prawns, and bbq pork chow mein. The best thing was the dumplings - the meat inside was very tender and flavorful, and it was clear the dumplings had been freshly made and fried. Everything else was just ok. I thought the chicken was a bit dry, and while the honey walnut prawns tasted good, the breading was very light and it was a very basic dish compared to how I've had it at other places. The chow mein had good flavor but I wasn't a fan of all the liquid that was pooled at the bottom.

      Severely disappointed with the food this time around. I recently ordered 4 large trays of the beef and broccoli and the mangolian beef for a party. Upon removing the foil there was BARELY any meat in all the dishes. It was mostly onions and broccoli. Complete robbery and will not order for catering from them in the future.

      It's shocking to see people giving this place low stars because they can't find parking but haven't even tried the food. Yes, parking isn't great. So coming during rush hour, or a busy time for people to have lunch or dinner may not be the greatest. I came here around 8pm on a weekday and got parking right in front. There aren't many tables, and it's not the greatest looking restaurant; but those can be some of the greatest spots. This place obviously isn't to charm foodies or to try and be a super popular restaurant. They're feeding the neighborhood with affordable food. The food is good, and the prices are great for the amount of food you get. The service is top tier with two men usually working who are extremely welcoming. Great experience, good food, will be coming here often. Cash only

      Small hole-in-the-wall place that's easy to miss.

      I got the salt and pepper pork chops - it was good, though it felt like it could do with less batter and more meat.

      Service was quick and parking nearby was fairly easy.

      Would probably come back.

      They do only accept cash/venmo.
