My wife and I are from Virginia. We enjoyed this place. Wish we could have stayed longer but we were in a hurry to watch a concert at chase center. We ordered the chicken and fish fried rice along with the west lake beef soup. We are definitely coming back.

Would like to say that Wong's Cafe is literally the definition of a hidden Gem. Their menu is very extensive and the food is absolutely delicious! The staff there has the upmost respect and courtesy for their customers and greets you like you're family no matter if your a first timer or a regular. I'd highly recommend this place to anyone who is seeking authentic Chinese cuisine and it can't be beaten. Great service all around!

I went with my husband who liked the 'dive' atmosphere, but I didn't think so and it was freezing inside, despite the heater they provided. Some of the food we ordered wasn't great, like the salt pepper chicken, yuck. I won't be back.

Finally found a delicious spot for Chinese food! We got the half plates special. Chow mein with beef and broccoli which was pretty good. The best part of our order was the fried rice with chicken. Omg it was delicious. We got a side plate of garlic bok choy which I highly recommend. The staff were friendly and we were happy to eat in their restaurant. Homely feel and not fancy. Will definitely return to eat again.

Consistently good food, generous portions, and super friendly service! We always get salt and pepper porkchops and general chicken, but I need to try some other dishes -they all look delicious!

Im picky so in the past I preferred the large franchise type establishments when it comes to chinese food.but wongs cafe is different! I love the family that operates the cafe. Theyre just so very nice, caring and more importantly Clean! I can expect my food will be fresh and fast too! So when the family requests chinese food - its wongs cafe i call!

I been a regular customer ever since. I recommend the chow fun, walnut shrimps but they are really prawns that’s a plus! And the chicken wings and all chicken items can’t go wrong

Service: 5/5
I did not dine in so I can't speak about that. However, when I called to place an order, the gentleman asked me if I knew where they were located. I thought it was an odd question until I realized he must've seen my area code and wanted to make sure I had called the right place. I thought it was funny and kind of him. Next, talk about speed. They had my order ready in exactly 20 minutes. Maybe even sooner. They also packed my food well. They could've crammed everything into one bag but they didn't. They split my order between two bags instead so I could carry it out easily.

Food: 4/5
The food was pretty good. I ordered the Beef Chow Fun, Salt & Pepper Pork rice plate, and Hot & Sour Soup. The chow fun had nice wok hei flavor and I liked the bean sprout to noodle ratio. Some might not like all the bean sprouts but I like my veggies and it gives the dish some texture. The pork rice plate was good but a little salty for me. The soup was good but different. It's not the traditional hot and sour soup. There's tomatoes and carrots in it but it tastes good still. And there is properly sour and spicy! Sometimes restaurants give you a watered down version. Not this restaurant! And to top it all off, the price is good at this place too. All their rice plates are a steal deal. If you're a hungry college student, a full plate of rice and lots of meat will cost about $10. Not bad in my opinion.

Parking: 2/5
This is the only bad part. Parking is terrible in this area. Especially at night. If you're just picking up, you can park right in front for a few minutes. But if you plan to dine in, be prepared to circle the blocks a few or 10 times. Also, for anyone not local, if you plan to pull into someone's driveway to turn around, be careful and pull in veeerry slow. The drive ways aren't great here and there are a lot of hills. You may scrap your front bumper and your car's underside if you go too fast.

Overall, definitely recomend! Affordable and good food!

Eating at Wong's Cafe feels like dining in someone's basement. The linoleum floor sealant has peeled away leaving patches of the concrete below visible. The dining room is decorated with dusty plants and lace doilies drapes. It reminded me of the small restaurants I visited in Hong Kong's Sham Shui Po district with the foldable chairs without a back. Wong's Cafe is a couple of notches above those places. Tonight I had their tomato beef pan fried crispy noodles $11.75. This dish was delicious. The beef was tenderized without any chewy bits. The crispy pan fried noodles had enough wok hay. The gravy had a wonderful classic tomato taste with a zing from the green bell peppers and onion slices. Service was friendly and quick. Great job staff at Wong's Cafe.

Our go to for coffee and breakfast muffins
Iced Vaccino and No mames sandwich muffin (spicy vegan) our favorites go to. Online ordering is a must because it gets busy. Staff is nice and orders are always on point.
Must try, recommended

Ordered chow fun, Singapore noodles and salt and pepper calamari to go.

The chow fun was very tasty. As was the Singapore noodles. However, the calamari did not meet expectations. Not sure why they breaded and deep fried the calamari like that.

Overall, would definitely come back again for more noodles!

Definitely (My) New ‘Take-OUT’ BIG TIME…!
I ordered 5 different items and “EVERY item was in my opinion (effin) AWESOME…!
I asked the gentleman taking my order about the Scramble Egg & Beef and said I’d like it over white rice, he then asked me “witch way, slightly scrambled or “traditional” / gravy style”? I didn’t know there was a “traditional gray style” and was craving the scrabble but said sure why not?
As soon as I tired it (I WILL ALWAYS order my scrabble egg & beef traditional…! Thanks to the gentleman working the front counter tonight…
You guys are definitely doing it the right way…

Friendliest service in a long time. Yummy wor wonton soup, though it was less food, more broth than others. They take venmo, zelle and cash.

I saw this place on yelp and noticed it's high reviews. I ordered for pick up and immediately noticed how small it was, truly a classic hole in the wall. They were not offering indoor/outdoor dining, but I noticed so many to go orders when I went to pick it up. Since my first order, I've tried a variety of their things and they've all been amazing. I would highly recommend the honey walnut shrimp and their salt pepper pork chop.

Note: they are cash only!

This is a cash-only hole-in-the-wall offering generous portions of fast Chinese comfort food on a family-friendly budget. Parking can be a challenge.
