The menu is varied- they have tons of different dishes. I've had the black pepper eggplant (both sizzling and non sizzling), curry chicken, beef chow fun, schezuan twice cooked pork, and the house special fried rice. The food is all fresh, hot, and delicious! They also give you complimentary Chinese soup- the broth is so clear and clean, not greasy at all! The flavour is very very light so if you're used to heavily flavoured things you may not appreciate it, but they have house made pepper oil/sauce on the condiment tray, and if you put that with a little salt it's delicious! The pepper sauce is the best I've had- I was remarking to my father how good it was when the waitress walked by and told me they made it in house.
This is honestly the best Chinese food I have ever had- better than what I had in Hong Kong and Macao! The outside of the restaurant isn't the prettiest (nor is anything on 82nd) but the food and service are outstanding! I'm one to judge a book by its cover, so I was reluctant to eat here at first glance, but I am very glad I did!
The old Wing Wah BBQ has been upgraded with tablecloths, lighting, and uniquely good Chinese food from an accomplished chef. His menu offers dishes from different regions of China, well executed with clean unmuddied layers of flavour, and the authentic use of traditional ingredients.
Fantastic tasting Chinese food with great portion and prices.
I've already eaten there twice this week and will be returning for dinner tonight! Glad to see there are still some good Chinese restaurants here.
Upon walking in, you will notice how clean everything is. Tables are not sticky, plates/cups are clean, chairs are wiped and clean, etc. All of the condiments are clean/non sticky. They have many servers (so the service is very attentive) and all are very loud/friendly, so it really feels more like family than just a waiter/waitress.
Amazing food! Very big portions - take one, not more)))
We stopped by here randomly during our visit to Portland and are very glad we did. Each dish we ordered came out steaming hot and very flavorful. Service is on point even though it can be slow when there is a 30-person rush. We will definitely be back next time in town.
