  • No, I would not go back!

Greasy chicken with no particular flavor, deep fried greasy sugarcane shrimp with no evidence of shrimp once the coating was pulled back, greasy duck buns...there is no reason to go to this place with so many better restaurants around.

I had been so excited to go to Wong for dinner. We went on a Tuesday evening with great hopes for a lovely meal. We ordered the typhoon lobster....and after waiting an inordinately long time it arrived. When I used the cracker to open a section of the tail a black ooze seeped out onto the plate and all over my hands. At first the staff handled the situation fairly well by apologizing and telling us the chef would make another order for us. However, after the same long wait, the new dish came out. It was greasy and too salty and the restaurant provided no hot towels or other means to clean our hands. So there we sat, greasy and still hungry as we waited for our mains. And waited and waited, with no contact with the waitstaff. About 30 minutes later, we flagged the waitress down and she said the food was just coming out. 20 minutes later we told them we wanted a check and were leaving. It was all around disappointing and we will never be going back.

Some Hints:

  • The best reviews give a clear sense of why you liked or disliked a restaurant, bar, or store. And that means details. Mention specifics dishes, type of crowd, pros and cons...
  • If it's helpful to compare one place to another, go for it.
  • Come up with clever, funny, pithy subject lines, and write in the first person.
  • Don't forget to read the user rating guidelines and rules.
