Every few years we give this restaurant another try and every time we are disappointed. This time we ordered war won ton soup and pan fried dumplings. The won ton soup had lots of slightly undercooked veggies but the won tons and the broth were flavourless. The best part of won ton soup is usually the tasty broth but this was completely bland. The dumplings were very doughy and again had very little flavour to the filling. It's really a shame because we're close by and wish we liked the food but we don't. read more

Great food no msg options really fantastic enjoyed the salt and pepper squid !!!!!!!!!!

I just had the WORST EXPERIENCE I have ever had dealing with takeout restaurant. John Wongs food is garbag. My dogs eat better food than what they have the nerve to sell. I just order a beef skewer and I got 3 tiny bites of RUBBER NASTY SLIMY DISGUSTING WHAT IS VERY QUESTIONABLE MEAT. When I called them to complain the lady kept talking over me saying no no no it good food it good food.... Well I had one bite and almost threw up. If I were anyone looking for good Chinese Food... STEER CLEAR AWAY FROM THIS JOIN! read more

Sorry to say but this restaurant is probably the worst Chinese food I've ever eaten. The only reason I gave it a Was because the wonton soup was good. All the items that were supposed to be crispy were soggy. Ginger beef was pasty and didn't have much Ginger heat. The fried rice tasted like it had freezer burn. All of it tasted the same. I really had high hopes for this place. I guess I'll continue my journey for a good Chinese restaurant outside of China Town. Happy new year read more

First time for me and my Son and he's pretty picky about his Chinese, and I usually have cravings that I just go wherever. We ate in, and it was great. Great service, quick, fast, scalding hot. Very old school menu and environment. It was exactly what we were looking for and frankly, this will be our new "go to" spot for Chinese. Very glad we stumbled across it, because our usual spots have gotten a little tired. Staff was great. read more

Very good, basic Chinese food. Excellent, as far as the local options go. Restaurant is very clean and staff is very friendly. Beef and broccoli dish is like a whole meal and combos are incredible value. My grandparents knew the original owners and then the restaurant took a little slump but the new ownership is knocking it our of the park and the neighbourhood loves it! read more

WHAT A FANTASTIC GEM OF A PLACE THIS IS! We have never been to John Wong's before but decided to give it a try, and are we ever happy we did. The food and service were both excellent. Each dish was fresh and delicious, not to mention the huge portions. We thoroughly enjoyed every dish that was ordered (Shanghai noodles, Salt & Pepper Squid, Broccoli & Beef, and Cashew Shrimp) and can't wait to go back again. The owner is an exceptionally friendly and kind woman who made us feel very welcome. They took over this restaurant two months ago and we highly recommend making your way over for a truly delicious meal! read more

Love John Wongs! The food is terrific, and delivered hot, no pesky delivery charge, so tipping the friendly driver is a pleasure. Used to order from August Moon, but they were rude, took more than 2 hours to get here, and the food suffered. Will order from John Wongs from now on. read more

Love this place! Beyond yummy food, amazing customer service. This is my go-to place. Will always return here!

I needed something to eat one afternoon before work, and I was just craving Chinese. I drove past John Wong's and was immediately filled with hope. Sadly, it wasn't the greatest experience I've ever had at a Chinese restaurant. I waited for almost 5 minutes before someone came out to seat me and take my order, and the place empty. By the time they got to me I had already flipped through a take-out menu and decided on what I wanted. It didn't take long for them to bring me my beef chop suey and vegetables with black bean sauce, but it really shouldn't have since I was the only one in there. The food was fine. Not the absolute best, but fine. Once I was finished it, once again, took them a while to bring me my cheque. I felt bad giving a lower than normal tip, but I truly thought the service was crummy. They've got the regular Chinese food deals: free delivery within 5km, free item with purchase over $30, dinner for one, two, three, etc. I probably won't be stopping by John Wong's for my next lunchtime Chinese craving. It just wasn't that great. read more

John Wong's Chinese Restaurant - two cars parked in front of the restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

Zero... We ordered on a Friday - expecting it to be busy. We ordered our food at 5:05 and were told to pick up our order at 5:50. It is now 6:35 and still waiting. We cancelled the order. No apologies, no nothing. "Ok"... 'click'. Normally, not a problem having to wait but when we were told it would be ready at a certain time and then waiting outside with no expected time, and others waiting inside. First and last time trying this place. Be honest with wait times and people will accept that. Would give this place a minus rating for customer service if it were possible. read more

NOTHING FANCY - but a clean restaurant, good food, large portions, friendly staff & reasonable prices - what more could you ask for! First time visitor. Went for dinner on Fri, Mar 22 2019 at 6:30pm. Ordered Dinner for 4 - price was $70 which I thought was a good value. Well OMG, the portions were massive and we ended up taking half of it home! Food was hot from the kitchen - basic Chinese dishes - ordered Ginger Beef, Sweet & Sour Pork, Lemon Chicken & Shanghai Noodles. Dinner also came with Chicken Fried Rice, Spring Rolls and Wonton soup (or Hot & Sour soup). Least favorite of the 4 dishes were the Shanghai Noodles (over cooked) - would order a different dish next time. Most favored was the Lemon Chicken. Small dining room was about 3/4 full - lots of people getting "take out" and quite a few "Skip the Dishes" drivers popping in. Nice touch was a serving of fresh orange slices at the end of the meal. We will go back again! NOTE: restaurant is under new management so old reviews are probably no longer relevant. read more

Okay so this place isn't were you go to test drive your taste buds or have an experience of gigantic proportions. But if you're driving home and need a quick grab of decent food at a reasonable price, it's always the same, always reliable. And the owners are nice people. It's like a little family unit running the show and often times I will be a repeat customer at a place if I'm truly welcomed there. Not good for a first date, but hey, if mom wants some quick Chinese (canadianized chinese) it's a pretty good spot. read more

John Wong's Chinese Restaurant - Not a bad lunch that takes two minutes to come to the table! - Chinese Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

Typical everything deepfried and covered with extra msg kinda Chinese restaurant. Ordered dinner for two it was actually pretty decent although I was quite high on marijuana. Let's just say it's no Silver Dragon... but it'll do in a pinch thanks johnny read more

John Wong's has great take-out and delivery. They have great deals like free dumplings on orders over a certain amount (I think $30). Whenever I want to order Chinese, this is where I order from. The dumplings are absolutely amazing! You can't not get them. Trust me. I read on a Google review that they had good hot & sour soup... Unless you are already a hot & sour soup fan, I suggest you avoid this. Anyway, great service and great food. Love it. read more

I have had lunch twice in the last two weeks, and their food is fresh & delicious. Yesterday our family of six had dinner with no complaints as the service was friendly and on the table in 20 minutes. Great neighbourhood, nothing fancy but fair prices for a quality meal. read more

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE We have ordered from here for years and for the first time our order was horrible. The food was cold like it came out of a freezer and was reheated. When we called the restaurant they were not willing to do anything for long time customers and we were told we were the only ones to complain and they didn't care if we ordered from there again. By the looks of others reviews they say you are the only one to complain often. read more

We've only ordered food for pick-up at John Wong's but each time we've been really happy with it. They're super fast, the food is fresh and delicious and the staff is always really genuinely friendly. Our family loves this place! read more

Ordered food for pick up last week. I was very disappointed that they did not give us free dish for order of $50 or more. I have called twice to inquire for the free dish that I was supposed to get for free and the guy gave me shallow explanations thanks actually did not add up. At least he was polite enough however, very obvious that he was only trying to give me math reasonings that was not "buyable". Food mediocre taste even on bland side. Price reasonable for the amount of dish and taste. read more

Being our family's favourite Chinese takeout restaurant, I can't really say anything bad about John Wong's. The chicken fried rice is to die for! Vegetables are fresh and wonton soup is always pleasing. Service is quick. If you want Chinese food, this is the place. read more

Tried to ask about coupon from their website, was unable to print said coupon and they refused to honour any discount. False advertising, in my opinion. Not only that, but the gentleman who answered the phone was rude about it. Been a year since we ordered from there - last time the waitress was outright ignorant about our order. Rushed us through the order process and then complained about the amount of food we ordered with a comment 'that's a LOT OF FOOD!!!' We ordered a dinner for three - which was what we needed for 3 people... Here is the worst part: We actually know the owners - so this makes it even more of a piss-off. This has been my last order attempt from this restaurant - I will not go back. Time to explore the Vietnamese restaurants around Calgary. read more

Tuesday May 19th at 8:55pm a call was placed to this so called Resto.And recieve to most horrific service. The man was upset that I wanted to change my order and because I mentioned I wasnt happy with the soup the last time I ordered he freaked out. This guy was a joke, he argued with me about prices with their dinner for 2 menu when I was willing to pay the extra fees he just didnt want to count with his calculator. Anyways I asked for management and hung up on me and refused my service. I check their website and it seems its new management. Never again order from them, and showing up there would just involve police. Contact me if you have any issues joker. read more

If I could give this place 0 stars, I would. I called, and was placed on hold and could hear the man who answered speaking to another customer on the other line, in a very rude, and short manner. At the end of their call he gave a total and said "well, it'll be there when it's there, I have no idea." ...Then it was my turn: I requested to place an order, and he said okay what, as I gave my order he says "-yup, -yup, -yup" cutting me off every single time.. which okay, fine maybe it's busy. At this point I had already told another my husband to pick up another phone just to hear how rude this man was being. He then proceeds to YELL at me because he cannot hear me, as it sounded as if a group walked passed him, and told me "I" needed to call on a phone that worked (this was a landline I used). He then began to hear me as it was quiet in his background again, and when I told him the order was for delivery he told me alright well the food will be ready in 20 minutes but he had no idea when it would be delivered as he was going to wait out the rain. What?! Now, I could even maybe understand this if it were awful outside.. Such as hailing or severe in any way.. But I live within 2 kms of the restaurant, and it was lightly raining and windy, that was it. Between the way I was spoken to from the VERY beginning, to the downright rudeness at the end, there was no way I was going to load up my three small children in the car to give my money to this place. And for the record, I got in my car and went to Sunterra instead.. with my children, and I didn't even have my windshield wipers on beyond the first level. If a 3 year old can do it, you sir can too. Or...TRY respecting the customer. First and last time I ever try this place. read more

I love John Wong's - best Chinese in Haysboro in my book. I have no idea what the other reviewers are talking about because I've eaten at MANY Chinese food places in Canada and Calgary, so know what BAD Chinese food is like. I've eaten at John's for years and never had a bad dish or bad service. Just ordered again for tonight's dinner, and they offered me a free dish or a discount. Our order was over $60 so perhaps that is how much you need to spend to get it, but I certainly didn't have to ask for it. I will continue to enjoy this place as long as I live in the neighborhood! read more
