What People Are Saying About Uncle Wong's Chinese Cuisine

Featured Review

Jennifer Olvera

In Short – Not your everyday eatery, this pleasant spot is where locals come for gussied-up rack of lamb in Thai basil sauce, shrimp in spicy mango sauce and whole Peking duck with Chinese pancakes. Classic plates are available as well, including moo shu pork, kung pao chicken and beef lo mein. For dessert, it's banana fritters and green tea ice cream.

Editor's Tips

Know Before You Go:
The restaurant is open on some holidays from 4pm to 10pm, but call ahead to be sure. Uncle Wong's is owned by the same owners of Thai Palate; you will find some of the same items on the menu.
What to Eat:
Counting calories? Uncle Wong's has a "spa menu" that contains healthy items, most steamed and all served with brown rice.
Save Money:
The lunch specials, served every day, feature the same items as the dinner menu in a slightly smaller portion but including a choice of soup, veggie fried rice and chicken wing. Dollars lower than dinner prices, it's a good deal.

So glad we ignored the negative comments- GREAT!

by carolinalee

My husband and I went to Uncle Wong's last night for dinner and were incredibly pleased, even 'wowed' with our dishes. We started with steamed dumplings that came out quickly and had a quality pork mixture in the center. We split two entrees for dinner- the Hong Kong noodles with tenderloin and the spicy bawang putih with shrimp. The Hong Kong noodles had a pleasant crisp, but soaked up the rich and flavorful sauce that accompanied it. The vegetables in the dish were obviously fresh and retained a bit of a crunch to them. The shrimp dish was sweet, spicy, and the shrimp were large and cooked perfectly.

I am still kind of embarrassed that we all but licked the plates clean! We grabbed a to-go menu when we left just to ponder what dishes we might get next time! A quick favorite!

  • Pros: Service, Dumplings, Malaysian food, Hong Kong noodles
  • Cons: None!

Dont waste your time

by hmunster

These guys used to be pretty darn good a long time ago. But if you look at the reviews and the dates you will see that they have just fallen flat on their face.

DO NOT order from their web site, (dont even eat there actually).

We had a room full of people working on a saturday and placed an order online for a late lunch, their web site said they were open and they accepted our order and charged my card. 2 hours later we were starving and had to send someone out for drive through!!!

No calls, no emails, no apologies, no answer on the phone, no food.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME. They have come and gone and it is just a matter of time till this place closes down.

They will not get another order from me, EVER. There are just too many better places nearby.

  • Pros: Absolutely nothing
  • Cons: Where do I start?

Barely edible...

by ceozgunay

We ordered takeout on a Sunday night and were told it would be delivered in 30-50 minutes. 75 minutes later I called back to check on our order and was told that they were out of one of the items and they had lost the first three digits of my phone number do couldn't call. I requested that they just bring the other items quickly (as we were way past starving). Thirty minutes later the food arrived. They driver wanted to take an imprint of my credit card - despite already having the number on the sales slip. We ordered four items - one was missing, the second had pan-fired noodles that were cold and half burnt, the third item was dumplings that probably were steamed when we first placed the order as they were cold and the pastry was engorged (think of a tick in August on a large dog) and the last contained mushrooms although it was ordered without them and the order-taker confirmed that. The "best they could do" was charge us "only half" of what the bill was. Save your money - if you get a flyer for Uncle Wong's in in your mailbox recycle it, use it to line a litter box or bird cage - but keep it well away from your phone.

Uncle Wrong's

by pdotleedot

My boyfriend and I love Thai food and decided to give Uncle Wong's a try. Sadly, the entire experience was a disappointment. Being the only people in the restaurant on a Sunday night, we expected better service. Our server, however, seemed to have no interest in taking care of us. The lettuce in the Num Tok dish was brown and the shrimp (in our Spicy Basil with Shrimp dish) had veins and tasted extremely fishy. We also ordered Green Curry with Chicken which was also very disappointing - the dish had no flavor.

We do not plan to visit Uncle "Wrong's" again.

  • Pros: Location
  • Cons: Everything else
