More like four and a half Stars One of my friends recommended it and I wasn't disappointed I really enjoyed the jellyfish and the spring rolls. Shrimp fried rice excellent Chinese broccoli excellent The major issue I have with this place is it's very very greasy. Of course fat makes things taste good but I think they could cut it down a little bit. Service was fine no major issues. The ambience of this place leaves a lot to be desired it's certainly not very spiffy. I did not try the bathroom. Parking in this area is fairly easy if you come at the right time of day. Overall the price is good given the quality and quantity of food and I would come back! read more

Five Stars for New Big Wong! The food here was absolutely amazing! We ordered the combination fried rice with chicken and double shrimp, the mild General Tso shrimp, and the General Tso chicken. Everything came out piping hot, just the way I like it, and you could really tell how fresh the ingredients were. Our server, Oscar, was fantastic and took great care of us. In addition to the excellent food and service, the entire restaurant and restrooms were spotlessly clean. It was moderately crowded, which gave it a great, lively energy without feeling overwhelming. We'll definitely be back! read more

I've ordered from here several times since I moved to PG county February 2025, but keep forgetting to make a review and take pictures of what I ordered. I love me some fried rice just like everyone else, but decided to try some lo mein and the combination when came with shrimp, chicken, and beef. I always make it spicy because that how I like it! Just so I have some veggies I ordered a side of edamame. Now the prices are not cheap and I can't say it's only because I ordered from door dash or Grubhub. We know for connivence prices on these sites are more expensive. Maybe one day I'll take a stroll into DC to check out the place. I just hope it doesn't disappoint and makes me not want to order from them again. It was cinco de mayo so the service was very slow over an hour to get our food. But when it finally arrived it was surprisingly still warm enough for me to dig in to check out the flavor. It was some good lo mein not too greasy and has enough of all three proteins. What I wish they would have added more veggies and a tad bit more garlic and spice. But other than that it was a good amount of food. I will definitely order from them again...this time actually go into the restaurant. read more

We were craving Chinese food and read good reviews about this place. It's very easy to get to from Downtown D.C. and nearby the Chinatown Metro station. The restaurant was busy but the employees kept it clean so they can bring in new customers. The dishes weee large in portion and tasted good. I felt like this place could be a little larger but it's a small hole in the wall for a good reason. I recommend this place if you are hungry and don't mind waiting a little bit for a table in the evenings for dinner. read more

Big Wong is dead wrong for how they did my food. I asked to make the plate spicy. They put so much chili oil that it's barely edible. The sauce isn't even brown. It's basically red. Then they charged an extra $3 for fried rice with NO veggies in it. What the heck! read more

New Big Wong - Cantonese Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

One of my favorite Chinese Food places is called Fortune China located in Owings Mills. Naturally as someone living in the DC Metro I simply can't justify venturing off to Baltimore County for Chinese food. As I hunt for great Chinese I stumbled upon New Big Wong and I gotta say it's up there for best Chinese in DC Metro. I always judge a Chinese food place by their portions and beef and broccoli (my go to dish) but I also tried the dumplings, egg rolls, and crab rangoons. The crab rangoons are huge and while I wish there was a little bit more crab they were a great side dish. The egg rolls wee massive and I enjoyed the fillings, the dumplings were great! Well seasoned. The beef and broccoli was solid. Not better than Fortune China but not terrible! Overall would try this place again. read more

My wife & I came here for a late dinner. The food tasted good. The service was good. The atmosphere was a bit hole in the wall. But it reminded me of my childhood in Oakland Chinatown. It was not cheap in price but it was authentic. read more

New Big Wong was a total surprise for me as I was just wanting to find something quick to eat in DC Chinatown. Well looks can be decieving as this is tucked away in a downstairs basement front. Open entering in, there are many tables for you to sit down on, and generally you are served water and the menu right away. If you like chinese food, then you know what to expect here. I wanted something simple, so I got dumplings and chicken fried rice. Their fried dumplings are more of the same fare you get anywhere else. It's greasy, it's savory, and it'll keep your stomach happy. Just make sure to dip it with soy sauce. The chicken fried rice was gigantic when it came out. I think it's more of a family style dish to share with, but of course knowing me that's not something I can accomplish eating on my own. The fried rice was perfect, I don't really have much to say is, I wonder how it'd fare if I went during late night hours instead. This is a solid place to check out. I highly recommend checking this place out! read more

Small, lowkey & nothing fancy but packs a mighty punch on their dishes! Hidden, in the basement of a chinatown business front...is New Big Wong. It's been around in downtown DC like forever! Be careful when driving are looking for this place because .... one blank of an eye while driving down the H Street Chinatown area, you might miss it. It's just that in assuming... especially at night. lol. The food is delicious and the prices are very good. The portions are big here too..... not to mention the meats & vegetables used are always fresh. My go to and one dish that is always on realest and that this restaurant is famous for is the "Dry Scallop Fried Rice" dish! It's one of the best. It comes in one size and is loaded with shrimp scallops crab meat ....& lot of flavor! The Peking Duck dish is another favorite of mine from this restaurant as well. On any given day, you will find the restaurant pretty crowded which is a good sign, but both carryout and dine in available if ever in the area. This restaurant tends to get a lot of Uber eats DoorDash orders I noticed as well. I definitely recommend if you're looking for authentic Cantonese cuisine and good Hong Kong fare..... that is on an American-Asian carryout vibe ..... This is your place! Most meals are roughly around $15 to $20 and the servings are huge. Worth every penny.... Go here and thank me later! read more

I've only had them for takeout/delivery, but everything I've ordered has been delicious.

Excellent service and very good Chinese food. They open late night so that a plus. Staff is quick and friendly. The eh don't take no bs though. Come eat and pay. Lots of party people late night enjoying their Chinese food. Big menu and cozy place. Their soy sauce chowmein is the best. I like the crispiness texture. We came here twice during our trip to DC. Late night of course. Come hungry, leave happy. One of the few places open late and is authentic. read more

Do not sleep on the noodle soups. The portion was incredibly generous and diverse in their seafoods. I got gigantic scallops and just poached shrimp. This was a takeout order, but the noodles were just par cooked so that by the time it reached me they were still separated and bouncy. They did not skimp on the bok choy so it felt super healing to have in the colder months. And the broth was golden, clear, and incredibly umami. The delicate seafood flavor really carries this dish, and the fragrance of the white pepper really shines through. I love a classic noodle soup like this. When its this well executed, its hard to come by in DC. read more

I was in DC with my wife for her conference. I was craving late night american style chinese food. I stumbled upon this place and it marked all the check boxes. The fried rice had plenty of scallop strands and shrimp, the beef chow fun had plently of wok hei, and the hot and sour soup was hot and sour. The mu shu chicken was really salty. Everything must have had tablespoons if msg, because I drank gallons of water when I got home, but it stands for make stuff good. It's not the best, it's not the worst. The lady there checked on us frequently. I don't know why DC chinese food is so expensive. It was like $20 a dish. That would be like 12-16 on the west coast. But whatever. read more

I went on a whim. I wanted some cheap Chinese food, and for the most part, Big Wong didn't disappoint. I had the salted fish fried rice which was da bomb. I mean how could you go wrong with such a simple dish. Regardless, NBW delivered. The fried rice was good, the tea was warm. The price wasn't perfect, but the food did feed me twice that day. So, why the "3" ? First, the place did not look like the picts. at all. When I was there, the place was a little dark and dingy. The kinda place that white people will never go near, but I'm used to it. As for the service, it was your usual HK Chinese service. The bathroom was also terrible and dirty. Again, the "3" was just for the food and nothing else. read more

Ok there is no utensils!! So what are we going to eat it with? Hands?? Order here through door dash. The food is not even good. The portion is too small for 20 bucks entry. No soy sauce or chili on the Steamed or Pan Fried Meat Dumpling the Wonton & Noodle Soup Hong Kong Style | 云吞面 has 4 wontons with 1 cup of soup. The Sautéed Snow Peas Leafs with Garlic 大蒜豆苗 does not taste anything and it cause 20 bucks!! Come on now!! What is this? Will not order here when I visit DC again!! read more

Ate here again, this time by myself late at night after flying in late. It was notes places you can have a sit down that was still open. Just had the pan fried dumplings and beef with broccoli. Both were tasty. Quick. And very reasonable in price. Good place to go in a pinch. read more

Do not go here the people who run it are SCAMMERS!! The food was poor quality and over priced. The staff was rude and the restaurant smelled like a dead rat. I made the mistake of staying to eat. The only thing close to good was the lo mein. The general tso chick was over cooked and the sweet and sour pork was overly braised with the pork having a very bad taste. To add insult to injury when I paid in cash with a 50 they claimed I gave them a twenty and threatened me until I paid an extra 30 in card. I should have had a back bone, but the guy started yelling and against my better judgement I gave in. DO NOT GIVE THESE SCAMMERS ANY MORE BUSINESS!! read more

DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE. I REPEAT DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE. If there was an option to give 0 starts I would. First of all the food is absolutely disgusting. Second, the workers scammed us made us pay cash claimed we only gave 80 and charged the rest on card when I saw the rest of the money on cash I had given hidden in the cash register place. DO NOT GO THIS IS A SCAM RESTRAUNT read more

New Big Wong - Rice with duck - Cantonese Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

The customer service at this restaurant is awful. I ordered a pick up order off of Uber Eats and one of the ladies came running after me thinking I didn't check with the guy in the back. Before the lady ran over I gave my information to the guy in the back and then got my order. Trying to run and chase a customer out of a restaurant is bold for a business that had maybe 5 tables at dinner time. I would never do a pick up order from Uber Eats from this restaurant again. read more

We really just came in bcs it had been so long since we've been here and just happened to be in the area. A walk down memory lane and a but of nostalgia hit us. We used to come in here late nights after the clubbing then it was always packed. Things have changed drastically since then. But this place? Felt like we stepped back in time. Not in a bad way. Like not run down shabby. It just hadn't changed much or at all. Like time literally just stopped aside from it NOT being packed and people standing around the front waiting for a table. Cant rate a hole in the wall no frills Chinese restaurant on service. They are usually jyst quick and to the point. Speed and efficiency is expected because you just never know. Right in the middle of what is supposed to be DCs version of a China town. We ordered a few dishes that we would order back then. Everything was great. Like I said no change. To me that's definitely a win for them. How many places like this are still around 20+ years later and still hold the same standard in food quality after so many years. And im sure they were open before I started coming here. So yea. If your looking fir a solid place late night in DC give them a try read more

Solid service in Chinatown. Fast great food. Got 9 dishes in less than 20 minutes. We got walnut shrimp, mapo tofu, fried rice, seafood delight, pad thai and more and boy were they good. Recommend for big groups. read more

We ordered carryout for four of us via DoorDash. It arrived quickly, and was fresh and hot. My shrimp egg foo young was full of shrimp, and it came with a separate large container of brown gravy -- perfect! I also had a couple of the crabmeat fried wontons, and they were very yummy. The others had General Tso's Chicken, Orange Chicken, and Cashew Chicken. All greatly enjoyed their choices. We also appreciated that we could easily opt for fried rice versus white with each order. This was recommended by a restaurateur relative as the best Chinese in the area, and after our meal from here, I'd agree! Thanks! read more

I do not recommend this place at all. I got food poisoning from their food. The quality of the food is very poor. Don't go there.

History of Present Indulgence: After a night out in Chinatown, we needed a spot for dinner and noticed how popular New Big Wong was, so we decided to give it a try. Physical Exam: Food - The food is essentially New York takeout-style Chinese food. The entrees weren't terrible, but nothing stood out, and honestly, I don't even fully remember what we ordered. It's the kind of place my parents would have been disappointed in, and I felt the same. It'll satisfy a craving for sesame chicken or other takeout staples, but that's about it. Service - A typical mom-and-pop operation with quick service to keep up with the demand. Ambiance - Basic and no-frills, with a location right next to Capitol One Arena and a divey bar scene that clearly drives much of its popularity. Assessment/Plan: New Big Wong is fine if you're looking for a quick fix of takeout-style Chinese food in the heart of DC. Otherwise, you're better off heading out of the city for more authentic or memorable Chinese cuisine. It gets the job done, but not much more. read more

The fried rice is extremely delicious. You can def taste the wok! Beef Chow Fun, bomb. I would most definitely eat here again.

Food was good but not very flavorful, the fried rice didn't really quench my soy sauce craving it was kind of dry. The service was good but the rice did take a longer time than others. Place was decorated cutely but the forks did not look like they were washed since it had a piece of rice stuck in it. read more

Stopped by today for lunch, I do agree with some of the comments that seem to frequently mention lackluster customer service, their gratuity, and inflated prices in general.

The old saying "Don't judge a book by its cover" applies here big time. From the outside as you walk down a few steps you may wonder if you made a bad choice. Don't worry you didn't, this place is so good. The service was excellent. The food was great. I started with the wonton soup, it had two large wontons and the broth had good flavor. I got chicken lo mein for my main course. A very large portion, with lots of chicken and veggies. Cooked and seasoned just right. There are a lot of options in DC 's chinatown for authentic food, be sure to put New Big Wong on that list. read more

Went in tonight. Placed to go orders in person. Staff was pretty rude. Waited 45 mins for chicken lo mein, went to check on it, clearly it had been given away. They said they'd remake it. When it was ready we got no notice. I went back and asked; staff didn't make eye contact with me and it was just rude all around. $20 for lo mein too. read more

I ordered from Uber Eats and both the soy sauce chicken and duck were dry and neither tasted fresh. In fact , I shared this with a friend from China , who said that the food was really substandard. I have eaten before in the restaurant and it was good, but this was a very poor meal , and it should have been replaced or refunded. read more
