Back in town and had to get mama wongs! So we ordered our favorites like the veggie fried rice and the salt and pepper wings with crab Rangoon. Unfortunately the wings have gotten much smaller, but the flavor was still great. And the veggie fried rice is the best I've ever had! Strips of bok choy and small pieces of mushrooms only add to the flavor! Also unfortunate were the crab rangoons that had almost no filling and it wasn't just one, it was the entire box. Not sure if this was a one off, but I would like to hope so and would go again next time we're in town. read more

Mama Wong - 香辣鸡翅 Dry Pepper Chicken Wings - smaller but so good - Asian Fusion Near Me - Exton, Pennsylvania

This used to be our favorite Chinese in the area. We moved away two years ago and were visiting relatives. Excited to hit our old haunts, Mama Wong was on the list. The recent yelp reviews weren't great and we were confused. Tonight we found out. Sadly, the food is just not the same. We ordered the crab Rangoon, worst I've ever had. It was old oil fried wonton with no filling. The scallion pancakes, which my spouse rated ok. The vegetable fried rice. That was ok. Not bad. Mama Wong's has the best dried pepper wings ever. We also ordered those and found the flavor still to be good, but the size was smaller. It's a shame because it used to be great. We did carry out, but the dining room was completely empty. I hope they fix whatever changed. read more

Mama Wong - Scallion pancakes, Steamed Pork Dumpling - Asian Fusion Near Me - Exton, Pennsylvania

We got here at 6 pm on a Friday night. Not terribly busy, maybe 4 tables seated. Someone was waiting for a pick up order. We were seated promptly. We made an order for soup dumplings, shrimp chicken fried rice, chicken broccoli, and double braised pork (no spice for the kids). Took 30 minutes for the dumplings to come out. Nearly took an hour before any entree came out until we said something and they came out with the fried rice. In that 1 hour timeframe, our water cups were empty and no one had checked in. We had to leave because of our kids' bedtime, so we asked to take the rest of our entrees for takeout. Even then we waited a while. They did give us a discount. When we got home, we found that the braised pork was spicy. All of the food was very salty. I would not some back here anytime soon. read more

Good restaurant in PA. I was in this area on the way coming back from Hershey's. And my in-law suggested here. I thought it was nice spacey place with a good service. The selection of foods were nice. I think most of things that we ordered were authentic and delicious. We ordered fried fish, fried rice, green beans, chicken dish and Mongolian beef. I would recommend this place. Nice clean restaurant with simple decorations. read more

Great BYOB spot. Fast friendly service. Very cozy spot with a wide variety menu. Looking forward to going back and trying more. Crab Rangoons had a great crisp outside and creamy inside. Steamed dumplings- very juicy, tender and flavorful Lo mein- did a combo of all meats. Not much flavor. Very greasy Crispy wings- amazing crispy but very spicy for me. I have low spice tolerance but wish I didn't cause these were so good. General Tsos chicken- great crispy chicken. Sauce it a combo of orange and generals Beef- very tender. Pepper flavor a bit overpowering at times read more

We tried mama Wong's for the first time. A friend had recommended this restaurant. When I arrived and placed my order, the place was empty and it was very cold inside and dark. I disagreed with the gentleman that took my order because was going to charge me for white rice, which apparently does not come with each entrée. We ordered 1 white rice, two vegetable spring roll, one scallion pancake, beef and broccoli and General Chicken. Scallion pancake was OK, beef fried rice; no flavor, beef and broccoli;no flavor and general chicken also no flavor. Vegetable spring rolls horrible mushy small. My wife had diarrhea just a short time after eating her beef and broccoli. The prices appear to be higher than most other Asian restaurants. I will not be back and I will not recommend this restaurant to others. read more

The best szichuan cuisine in the suburbs of Philly. Very consistent and the dishes are authentic. Highly recommend this place.

We went to Mama Wong for dinner and had a great meal. As the server mentioned, most of their dishes are on the spicy side. All the ones we tried are pretty authentic, on the same level as the restaurants in Chinatown, and reasonably priced. The service is good and the portions are big. Definitely will go back when we are in the area. read more

This reviews covers 2 dine in and 1 take out visits. The food was really good on all 3 outings. We have ordered a variety of dishes and have never be disappointed with the taste or portion size. The price is reasonable for what you get and there is always enough to get 2 meals out of any entree. Both dine in experiences were the same. The server never stoped by the table to offer refills on the drinks and the wait for the check was ridiculous 10-15 mins before needling to flag down someone to take my card. Now the worst part is the dining area itself. It's dark and always FREEZING. It is impossible to enjoy a meal in that facility. You have to wear a winter coat to keep from shivering. The solution is take out. You get the great food and don't have to deal with lack of staff nor the temperature. read more

I've been in PA for over a month staying at an Airbnb and dashing my way around to get to know different locations and I am meeting a ton of establishment workers in the hospitality industry but decided some of them need to be put on blast. like Mama Wong- RUDE staff. full stop. very off putting read more

The food is delicious. We have visited for both in-house and take out. NOTE: Mama Wong no longer supports Grub Hub. The Yelp Order Link uses Grub Hub. These orders do not reach Mama Wong. Orders must be placed by voice directly to Mama Wong. read more

We have been regulars here on an almost weekly basis for the last five years, starting when the dining room was still closed. The food here is very very good, and there are some dishes here that are really standout (I'm a fan of the pork belly dishes). Eating inside is great too, with big windows to let in light during the day at the front of the restaurant. Plus, eating in, the fried food really stands out, and we've always had great service from the waitstaff. Highly recommended if you are anywhere near Exton/Eagleview/Eagle/Ludwig's Corner. read more

So, I have ordered take out from here number of times since the Great ShutDown and it had been a while since thing reopened so we did some recent takeout. I'm under the impression that the ownership or the lead management has changed as the menu is leaning toward food you see at most US Chinese restaurants. We still were able to order our dumplings in chili oil and the dry pepper chicken, two of our favorites. We also saw the addition of Kung Pao chicken (not much pow) and General Tso's chicken which has some spice. Everything was good, it's just that I saw this place as and adventure, a cleaner more sophisticated version of another local, traditional Szechuan place. Oh well.....It's good but not like before. read more

Stir fried beef in black bean sauce. Small container of white rice $1 extra! Who does that? After tax it was $25. I assumed for that much it would be a generous portion but only a small round container. The beef was tender but the flavor just was not there. I have had dishes with black bean sauce before and the flavor was very weak in comparison. For what I got for $25 I could have gotten something equally good or better from one of the numerous Americanized Chinese restaurants in the area. I won't be back, I am running out of options for good Szechuan food in the area, Han Dynasty is horrible anymore too. read more

we ate here on a Wednesday, early evening. I would have given 5 stars, except that it was cold inside the restaurant. The food was exceptional, cooked, sauced and presented nicely. Our dishes were hot, unlike us. We will give it another try, yet, if the temperature is cold inside, we will leave. We don't like to wear our winter jackets while we are eating. Maybe get take out, because the food was that good. read more

Good. Is decent. Strange habits: the entrees all come out at different times. Not all together like in other restaurants. Also, one of the waitresses this evening when we dined there (was with a group of friends) poured the canned coke into their glasses right after opening. This is a common, normal practice. But then continued to do so in the next round, when the waitress saw that their glasses were slowly becoming empty. The waitress pretty well took the can of coke out of my friend's hand to pour it into my friend's cup. Usually you don't keep pouring the specialty drinks to the customers. Then later on in the evening, she came around again and just took the coke can of another friend, and tried to pour more from the can into the cup without asking, all while reaching over her food to do so. Was very awkward and strange. read more

I placed a takeout order and I was helped quickly when I came into the restaurant. This place is always very clean and the food is good. I ordered General Tso chicken and steamed dumplings. The next time I go back I am ordering the steamed soup dumplings and DanDan noodles since that is my favorite from here. read more

Food is excellent and service is too! We've been getting takeout for years and love the food! Recently we ate at the restaurant and everything was wonderful! read more

Warning: they don't give RICE anymore with dishes a lady on the phone told me since MAY!!!! Super disappointing - how can you eat Chinese food that doesn't come with rice! And when you order rice, they are super stingy with it!!!! It's $1 and only a little comes with it. They already charged their Chinese dishes a little more expensive then other places but also doesn't come with rice and also stingy with rice when you purchase for $1. You need to purchase $4 worth of rice just for 2 people to eat unless you don't like rice. But Rice is a staple in Chinese food. Super odd. Luckily I got extra rice bc they are very stingy with rice ( usually a rip off) but I'll be less upset if they had told me over the phone it doesn't come with rice so I could have purchase more ahead of time. It's the only Chinese place I been to that doesn't mention the dishes doesn't come with rice. I had to wait till my husband got home and realize it then and call them and then find out. IF THEY WERE TRUE CHINESE PEOPLE- they would mention about the RICE!! So maybe it's not authentic Chinese food but it's over priced read more

Order stir fried rice noodle with beef and it had barely any beef in it! Super stingy! And ordered the double cooked pork and they didn't include rice! I went online and selected it and it cost $1!!! Can you be any more cheap? Chinese food comes with rice! It's like ordering a sub without the bread! Their prices are higher than normal restaurants and now charging $1 for rice and being stingy with their food will cost them with little to no customers. On to the next place! Don't waste your money here. read more

They randomly stopped giving rice when purchasing any entree and the amount of rice they give was already such a small portion to begin with. Why should I need to buy rice when I'm purchasing over $60 worth of entrees? At least mention this if you are going to switch it up on your customers all of a sudden. Very disappointed as my wife and I have always enjoyed the food here. read more

I have been on a hunt for a good Szechuan food restaurant since 2016 and after countless failed attempts I heard about Mama Wong from my friend. I was very eager to try this place so my boyfriend and I came here for a date night. We ordered so much food because I wanted to try everything. We got the hot chili oil wontons, the wonton soup, and cucumber salad for an appetizer. Then we got the dry pepper chicken wings, dan dan noodles and the dry hot pot. The wontons were perfectly cooked with a great spicy kick to it. The wonton soup had seaweed which was amazing! I love seaweed and the broth was very flavorful. The cucumber salad had a great kick to it as well. It was very refreshing and loved the sauce it came with. The noodles were just the right amount of spicy. These have to be my fave dan dan noodles. Lastly the dry hot pot had all the protein you can get: shrimp, fish, beef and scallops. All the spices came perfectly together served over rice. My taste buds were extremely happy. 1000000000/10 read more

Used to be a bang for your buck place but recently upped their prices and isnt worth it now. Pork fried rice is fye but to much moola.

I. Could. Not. Fall. Back. Asleep. So, to Reddit I go. Ooh. Just got a note from a fellow Yelper. I check that out. And read her reviews. Hmmm. Mama Wong! Softshell crab appetizer! MY LORD! I'm so so in. Monday night. This Spring forward thing!!! UGH! I need food and like now. Hmmm. Try Mama Wong. Easy quick pick up. LoMein. Errrr. I was told it by the person who ordered it that it was filling. And that's about all it was. A 4 out of 10. The bean curd. Ok. Now we're talking. The lamb stir fry with onions and scallions. AH MAZING. No softshell crabs. Only in season. Like it should. That's a plus. No star deducted for that. All in all, skip the stuff you get at your neighborhood Chinese restaurant. Go for awesomeness. Thank you fellow Yelper for the post that got me to try Mama Wong. read more

I have enjoyed good food in the past from Mama Wong's but was very disappointed with my experience this week. I called in an order and was told 20-25 minutes. When I arrived, it was a busy Friday night and there appeared to be only 2 people to man the reception area and wait on the many diners. I waited nearly an hour for my food - ridiculous! I was told that they had been very busy - no apologies for the insane wait. The food was just okay this time - the chicken in my dish tasted gelatinous. The fried rice was tasteless. Such a disappointment. read more

I have been waiting 40 minutes for a to go order. I have watched diners arrive, be seated and be served since I have been here. It seems that their carry out business is not that important. read more

This is the best Asian restaurant in the Exton area. Friendly and efficient staff. Have tried many items on the menu and a big fan of their Ma Po tofu and soup dumplings. Be sure to try the congee. read more

As far authenticity goes, the food is great. Veggie bean sprouts were tender and fresh, and the spicy intestines dish was piping hot and super tasty. No faults with the other dishes we ordered as well. Our waiter was really attentive and accommodating too. The only complaint I have is with the hostess by the front desk. On the surface she's cordial with customers, but unabashedly panders to native English speakers over those she deems inferior. She was quite rude to my elderly aunt and her Chinese friend, making them wait forever to be seated, and telling them that they would never be able to wait long enough to get a table. Then when they asked her if they could place a small order for take out instead, she snapped at them that the restaurant was too busy to do that - even though she was clearly handling take out orders and seating other guests who arrived after my aunt and her friend. It had gotten to a point that other workers nearby kept coming over to apologize for the abysmal treatment, but no one was brave enough to help them. The few times I have visited, I have always enjoyed the food, but felt uncomfortable with her prejudice. As my aunt appreciates authentic Chinese food, we come here sparingly, but now I've taken over each interaction with the hostess so as to spare my aunt from having to speak to her again. As a former part-time waitress and hostess myself, I value customer service most overall. In this case, I cannot bring myself to give this place more than 2 stars in that respect. read more

N Annucci From: annuccn@gmail.com To: Brian_Noni Verizon Wed, Jan 1 at 9:08 PM This WAS our favorite place to eat and take out over the last several years. We have had several issues with this place over the last several months. Takeout orders missing items, and poor quality of food. Ordered takeout on Christmas Day. We ordered 3 items. When we got home we found we had only received 2 of our food items. When we called on Christmas to complain, the woman on the phone never apologized, but said she would refund our card on the missing items. TO DATE I HAVE NOT GOTTEN ANY REFUND! We ordered again tonight the same 3 items we got on Christmas. When I went to pick it up I sat in my car waiting for the text that my order was ready. After the pickup time had passed I went inside to Mama Wongs and gave the girl my number. She proceeded to grab the first bag in the line of nine bags and I said to the girl I never got the text my order was ready? She proceeded to say hold on, and did something on the register, and then pointed to my phone, which I was holding, and said see, there, I now had the text on my phone my order was ready. I DID NOT FIND THIS AMUSING! After checking my order to confirm all items were in the bag I left, not a happy Customer with their customer service! Once home I found that the Kung Po Chicken I ordered had no flavor and was very bland. The Pork Lo Mein had a flavor like it was flashed fried in a burnt pan and was completely inedible and threw it out. We have become extremely dissatisfied with the quality of Mama Wongs food and their customer service over the last several years. Needless to say we will no longer be a loyal customers of this restaurant. read more

I ordered takeout from Mama Wong's this week. I have had very good experiences in the past, and have always thought the chicken was of high-quality. This time, the chicken in the chicken and broccoli dish was very disappointing. It had a strange texture and an unappealing flavor. The broccoli was cooked perfectly and very flavorful. The spring rolls were blah and had little taste. I am disappointed that their quality is not as good as it was. read more

Awesome Szechuan Chinese food that's such a shopping center find and worth a short drive. Pork soup dumplings were very delicious. One of ours had leaked a little but that didn't mean it didn't taste any less delicious. Tough to find soup dumplings in the suburbs so I was excited to try them I would give them an 8/10. Sichuan dumpling in chili oil was tasty but I wouldn't order a again. They had the hottest, most dry white meat hot pepper chicken that I'm told is hard to find in many Chinese cuisine restaurants. It was very hot for me but I would recommend to fan of spice. Eggplant in garlic sauce was absolutely tasty! Staff was very friendly and food came fast. We were seated and served right before a dinner rush so our table fell to the wayside by the end of our meal. The inside was clean and open and was a nice atmosphere for a delicious meal. Not super intimate and good for a date, families or a special occasion. There was a private room off to the side I saw. Ready to go back and try the General Tsos! Not sure I would dine in again (except maybe for some soup dumplings). read more

Three went for lunch. Ambiance okay - looked like restaurant was just converting from takeout to table service (lots of cartons visible to diners. Waitress took our order pleasantly enough. We ordered one serving of Soup Dumplings, three orders of. Hot & Sour Soup, two orders of Gen Tso Chicken and one of Dry Spice Chicken. Food came to the table in the following order: Gen Tso Chicken, Soup, Soup Dumplings, and Dry Spice Chicken. We asked whether we shouldn't have gotten app (Soup Dumplings) fist, then Soup, and then entree's. Waitress acknowledged that we had spoken without apologizing or offering to change anything. The Soup Dumplings were okay. Not real tasty. Sweet & Sour Soup was very good. Entrees we're okay, but rice was gummy and not hot. All things considered, not a satisfying meal. read more

I didn't think the food was that outstanding in contrast to the higher prices. I don't generally use price as a factor and I do usually think that you get what you pay for. We have other great choices in the area so I just don't see recommending this place over my other favorite chinese places. We have tried the place 2x and I haven't been back lately. I'm sure I'll give them another shot some day read more
