I submitted my takeout order at 7:30pm in Manhattan Union Square, hopped on the L train, and my food was ready for pick up by the time I got to Bedford stop. The owner(?) was friendly and thanked me for my business, which was nice and unexpected. Food is hot, yummy, and well priced! read more

Big Wong - Cantonese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Extremely disappointing. The Chinatown location is much better and this one is so far from even being decent. The noodles were super soggy and wontons were flavorless. The roast pork/cha sew looks and taste disgusting. You can still taste the pig taste in the pork because they either didn't clean it well or quality of the meat. A Chinese take out spot has better cha sew than this supposedly well known brand. read more

I'm not sure I would have found this Williamsburg based Big Wong if I hadn't been walking. It appeared to be the only Chinese place in the area. We really just wanted a sautéed mixed vegetable, and picked a dish on the menu less some of the veggies which they accommodated beautifully, including by having other veggies in. And the white sauce that we asked for was quite so with slices of garlic. We were over at the.Music Hall & enjoyed our takeout. read more

Like many other people who wrote a review for Big Wong in Williamsburg, I've also been to their original Chinatown location multiple times and loved it. The average 3-star rating for their Williamsburg location is pretty harsh, and perhaps say more about the Williamsburg crowd than Big Wong itself. This is a perfectly fine, solid Chinese restaurant. Great for takeout, but also perfectly fine for dining in. In fact, while most restaurants nearby will likely need a reservation (or a long wait) if you want to eat there for lunch/brunch on a weekend, you won't have any issues being seated at Big Wong right away. As far as food, all the dishes we tried were good, and the portions are large. We tried the salted pork with thousand year old egg congee, the wonton with noodles (a soup), the shredded pork with pickled cabbage, and bean curd with mixed vegetables. In retrospect we over-ordered, but we took home what we didn't finish and it was enough for another meal. I'm a fan. read more

I've never been so disappointed in a meal. I ordered through Uber Eats and got three rib platters, but what arrived were tiny rib tips -- not full ribs -- and they were stone-cold, as if straight from the freezer. The spring rolls were even worse. The dipping sauce had a chemical odor, almost like turpentine, and the rolls themselves were soggy and unappetizing. Everything about this order was offensive to the senses -- the smell, temperature, and presentation. It honestly made me question whether the food was safe to eat. Something is seriously wrong with this restaurant's quality control. I would never order from here again and strongly suggest others avoid it until they address these issues. read more

I've had the best experience at this restaurant multiple times. I was surprised to see the bad reviews so wanted to share my experience. I've had the duck twice (pictures below from two separate occasions) and it was delicious. My waitress recommended the roast pig with crispy skin last time so I finally got around to ordering it this time around. It was delicious! Super soft and delicate pork with a beautiful thin crispy skin. The skin remained crispy our entire time eating it and never got soggy or tough. Place looks pretty clean when I've gone in the last few times, too. Everyone's always been friendly and accommodating. I've had a better experience here with quality of food vs some "famous" restaurants I've tried in China town. Also, you can't beat the price. I got two full meals at just under $15 each. Had plenty of leftovers for later. Hoping this will encourage others to give it a shot. read more

If you like the Big Wong in Chinatown, you'll probably be fine with the Big Wong here. The prices are a bit more compared to the Big Wong in the city, but they take all forms of credit cards here. My sister and I wanted to get Chinese food meals that our grandparents were familiar with (congee, roast pork, and roast duck) and we noticed Big Wong had a location not too far away in Brooklyn. We stopped by around 7 PM and were so delighted that they had congee available at that time. Normally, congee for many Chinese restaurants is gone by the evening. It was empty inside, but you could tell they were getting many orders through Uber with the occasional takeout order. There are enough tables so there will always be availability to eat inside. We ordered the salted pork and thousand-year-old egg congee, which was delicious. We also ordered the roast duck with rice. The vegetables were not fully cleaned (there is a soil/salt taste), but the roast duck was fine. I noticed the combination of any three items was way more expensive here compared to the Chinatown location. I would definitely come back for some dishes if I can't make it to the Chinatown location. read more

Big Wong - Big Wong Williamsburg menu (Oct. 2023) - Cantonese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Big Wong is a really well known restaurant in Chinatown, Manhattan that just opened up their second location here in Williamsburg. If you haven't been before, you should get the three treasures rice. While the delicious three treasures rice (char-siu, roast duck and chicken) offering remain the same as the as the Chinatown location, you will notice that the price is significantly higher. Three treasures rice will run you $22 (if you add vegetable, which is a little bit of bok choy) for $2 extra dollars. Usually the food will take no longer than 5-10 minutes to get ready, sometimes they'll serve you water while you wait to get it to go. There's usually plenty of table seating as there's not alot of dine in customers. read more

Friendly service at their Williamsburg location went along well with their great tasting food. A terrific addition for the neighborhood.

When you open an iconic place at a second location, you expect the same quality but also expect disappointment. Everything from different chef, high prices and sacrifice in quality. That was the exact feeling after biting into long time favorites. Cha siew which is a Big Wong staple wasn't up to par. The pieces were bad quality and high in fat. No ginger scallion sauce and the prices were pretty ridiculous. Even in their original location, a roast pork combo with chicken and rice would be $9 at most. It was $20 here and it didn't even taste good. No thanks. read more

Big Wong is a Chinatown classic known for their delicious duck and char siu. I wondered in one snowy day unknowingly that they had opened a Williamsburg location and was surprised to see how extensive their menu was. Outside of the typical duck / pork options, there were dim sum, noodle, congee etc. options. FINALLY a true Cantonese option has opened up in Williamsburg!! I ordered two congees and they were both fantastic. For all those hating on the prices, just make the trek to Chinatown then. Don't go hating on this establishment in Williamsburg (rent is not cheap!). So so excited to have them in the neighborhood and will be a loyal customer! read more

Big Wong's came from Chinatown. Came in with a friend on a Tuesday and was easy to get a seat, although will say their delivery services were definitely getting a lot of business. Ordered the chow fun, mapo tofu, and char siu. The chow fun was delicious, definitely the favorite. Char siu is like a typical char siu. The owner or manager also gave us free sweet fried dough, which was lovely. read more

Pretty solid Chinese food and the portion is pretty decent. The taste is good enough for what it is. It's just pretty expensive.

I ordered the roast pig over rice but they sent me chicken. Moreover, the chicken was dry and the skin was soggy. They did not cut air vents into the plastic container to prevent sogginess. read more

Food here isn't great...in the slightest. I have only ever ordered thru UE. I did a 4 order case study and the pricing on food, although price per dish are typically higher due to restaurant's compensating for $ lost due to app usage fees, I can say the pricing here is super inflated given the quality of food. I believe they are doing a soft open still but there is a lotttt of work to be done here. Poor meat quality across dishes and inconsistent portion sizes. read more

Went here since I heard such great things about the Chinatown location. I ordered for takeout the chicken breast congee and the Peking duck. The congee had decent flavor but not as flavorful as some other places and had mixed chicken in it with lots of bone pieces even though it's advertised as breast meat I do believe most was. The Peking duck had very good bao, I like the fresh scallion taste but wish the duck was a bit more crispy. Also a pretty small bao filling for the price. read more

Do not go to this restaurant! They will serve you garbage masquerading as food. I've been a fan of the Chinatown location for decades. Thought I'd try W'burg. Massive mistake! Got the roast pork & crispy pig over rice. Pretty basic. Apparently not. Got served tough pork and the roast pig was anything but crispy. This was served with rice and cabbage that looked as if it was retrieved from a dumpster. What a waste. Got up and walked out. I'll add that the restaurant itself has the ambiance of a cell block. Don't bother. read more

It's a 3.5 really. But I do want more authentic Chinese food in the neighborhood, so rounding up! The service was really friendly! Highlight of our visit for sure. Both the lady in charge of our table and the guy in the front did a fantastic job and made us feel cared about the second we walked in! Food was 7/10. Roasted duck tastes fantastic, but I'm a little disturbed by the feathers remaining on the skin. My bf is Cantonese and he has no problem with it. I'm from other parts of China and I'm not used to seeing feathers remaining. We also ordered a beef ho fen. My bf approves of it! I think it's not bad either. Ambience was what's lacking. The interior just can't compare with what's on the street. Plus there aren't a lot of people dining in, leaving space feeling empty and not with the best vibe. I'd probably get takeout from here and eat by the water. Hope they do much better soon! I love the Big Wong in Chinatown. That one is always bussin' read more

Late night drunk Chinese food quality and decor with sit-down restaurant prices. Roast pork was dry and crusty and the wonton noodle soup broth was tasteless. The texture of the noodles and the wonton were good though. Those justifying Wbg prices? I'm not expecting Chinatown. Compare others in the area, see the quality, and see if you still agree. But if was out late night and craving some food, I would probably just go to Joe's Pizza next door. You won't see any Canto or Asian person come here twice. read more

It's a very well known spot in Chinatown. Their food in general is pretty decent. However, in this Williamsburg location is very high priced and they even charge for the vegetables that all places include in the rice box is not reasonable. Normally I pay like $8.50-$9.50 for a double meat with vegetables rice box. However, it's 22$ here..normally I purchase a whole chicken or 2 lbs of roast pork for 22$. read more

Big Wong - Roasted pork and chicken w/vege plain rice - Cantonese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

After finding out that the Sichuan restaurant Birds of a Feather had its kitchen closed for the afternoon, I then headed towards Ten Ichi Mart when I spotted Big Wong close to the Bedford Ave train station. When I entered, it wasn't busy. I saw that the soft opening sign was hanging outside. After seeing the menu, I ordered fried dough sticks, which is something I hadn't eaten in a while. The server then took an order of premade ones for me. Compared to the one in Chinatown, this place was smaller. I haven't entered the one in Chinatown as I used to frequent Big Wing Wong before it shuttered. read more

I LOVE Big Wong... but this aint it. Maybe I speak from a place of nostalgia but Big Wong used to be my go-to-comfort food. Some people have fried chicken & waffles, some people have ice cream, I have the BBQ/Roast Pork (Cha Siu) Rice from Big Wong. Sometimes I'll mix it up and get the spare ribs or if I'm feeling under the weather, any one of their congees will do the trick. But this one in Williamsburg just ain't it. The food is bland, the chasiu is dry. The dark meat on the chicken is ok, I didn't get too many in my pieces but the white meat is super dry. The Spare Ribs is all bone and the rice is basically stale. -1 for the food quality. Price.. that's where it gets ya. I get that it's Williamsburg so it's a bit more expensive than Chinatown but not like this. The price to food quality & portion ratio does not equate so I have to dock a star for that too. I'm leaving 3 stars because I feel like there's room for improvement here and I would love to see some more Chinatown faves and gems get more locations and business in other places. read more

They added the tip themselves to my ticket. Don't come here they are not principled. What a sorry excuse for a business that thinks they can come into Williamsburg and treat it like it's some tourist area where they can ignore the locals. read more

Extremely mid food. I was excited to try because of all the hype surrounding big wong in Chinatown and was excited they're opening one so close to home. I got 3 meats and 2 of them were mushy (???) and 1 was extremely dry and chewy/ tough. The duck and the roast pork with the crispy top was mushy with the meat part of the duck being 2 different colors which was weird. The duck skin was not crispy like how good places have it and was soggy just like the top of the pork (that is supposed to be fried to a crisp). The actual meat part was mushy and I've never quite had meat like this before. The best way I could describe it is that it felt like it was soaked in liquid for a while. The char siu just looked weird and it was insanely dry and tough. The pieces were not cut thin like other places and it was not glazed and looked (and tasted) extremely dry as well. The 3 meats came with no sauce and were basically bland and dry. On top of this, the prices here are very expensive for what it is. I will not be returning and would suggest you save your money and take a trip to the Chinatown location if you're really wanting to try this place. read more

This was the worse Chinese food I've had. Full stop. The orange chicken was meatless, with only breaded bones. No exaggeration. Bones. Breaded. Noodles on the other dish was like a half dry mop head, with less flavor. Do not order from this place. Ever. read more

found a roach in my duck congee. do not eat here. i just puked. never ordering from here again. read more

I have taken food out of Big Wong 1X and it was tasty, but overpriced. Today I ate in the restaurant with a friend and we shared half peking duck, it was just okay. I was really shocked that the duck meat and skin were served cold, I assume because the buns were hot, but it really doesn't matter since duck is a greasy meat it should have been heated and warm. The skin was not crispy at all, very disappointing. We ordered a vegetable dish with tofu and the tofu was mushy, but vegetables were tasty, but for a $17 dish not worth it and wasn't even served with white rice. Would not return! read more

So I was a loyal customer to Wong Kee on Mott street. It was famous and had a long line all the time. Me and my family knew the staff and we loved the food!! My favorite dish was beef with pan fried noodles. This place duplicated the flavor and the beef texture to a T!! Perfect! I was happy about the Bokchoy. I wish there was slightly more gravy and some water chestnuts. But finally I have found my go to place. Thank you. read more

For some who complain prices are higher, this is Williamsburg, rents are higher here than Chinatown Manhattan. Also the OG never includes vegetables with their roast meat rice plate (sadly also my biggest disappointment), so charging extra for tasty greens is not unfair. Although j do wished BW would include at least 'cheaper' greens like cabbage to balance out the plate a bit. Nevertheless, still grateful to have the space replaced with a sustainable food business than another smoke shop. read more

I love, love, love this restaurant. We (actually my daughter, Alex) picked up. Great roast duck, soy sauce chicken, Chinese broccoli, as well as congee. With gratuity about $80. Best purchase I made that week. To those complaining about price this is not a Chinese lunch special take out joint. I'm looking forward to visiting and eating in and sampling it all. read more

They served me overnight roast pig and drowned it in soy sauce.. $14 for this dish is at least 50% more than what they charge in Chinatown. read more

Finally, some great Chinese in Williamsburg. We have ordered from this place twice now and the food has been fresh, hot, and delicious both times. We tried several items (fried rice, various noodle dishes, several apps, General's Chicken, and beef in oyster sauce) and all were great. Service was fast as well. read more

Solid takeout as good as the location in Chinatown. I got the bbq meats and all were delicious. I can't comment on the service but my takeout order was ready in a jiffy. If you are craving authentic Cantonese food this is your place. Decor is minimal based on my observation picking up but the food is why you come. read more

Food was great! They have ginger scallion sauce - definitely try this if you've never had it before. Roast pork was delicious. Vibes are weak, could do with some louder music at least. It doesn't look like much when you walk in but the food's worth it. read more

If you're ordering orange or sesame chicken at a place that hangs duck right by their window... this is not the place for you. This is my go to spot if im craving something asian with some carbs and veggies. Their pick 2/3 meat combos are incredibly filling and their beef tendon wonton soups are hearty for colder weather. The people who work here are kind and for williamsburg pricing its pretty standard. Dont be fooled by the low reviews from ppl expecting panda express. read more

For these prices I expected A LOT more. I had to smother my lo mein in chili garlic sauce for taste and my roast pork was 90% small chopped bones and inedible parts and 10% pork. read more

Great traditional Cantonese food in Williamsburg! Ordered from here a couple of times and everything was delicious and fresh. Had the chicken vegetable noodles (traditional lo mein), General Tso's chicken, beef and broccoli, fried rice, spring rolls and dumplings. Will keep coming back! So happy to have this near me. read more

I've been meaning to try this place out since before they opened, and tonight I finally had a chance. I took out just for myself, so didn't really get to explore the menu, but what I had was perfect. Went for the duck on rice with a side of baby bok choy. The takeout bag was heavy, and I was happy to see the generous portions of duck and veggies when I opened the box. The duck was super tasty...yes, fatty like duck should be, and just the right hint of gaminess. There was a very light soy-based glaze, but mostly just the flavor of fresh tender meat. Greens were a perfect crisp cooked. The meat and rice was only $13.50, which is ridiculously inexpensive for duck, plus a couple bucks for a heap of greens. Love it. Plan to delve deeper into the menu soon. read more

Meh. I really wanted to like them, as I grew up eating at the original in Chinatown. Ordered delivery twice & both times all items were subpar. It's still prob the best canto food you can get in this neighborhood, but that's not saying much- I will not order again. read more

General Tso's is all fat, no chicken. Insanely overpriced. There may not be many other Chinese options around, but this place does not fit the bill. Disappointing. read more
