Review of Chung Wag - A "Wag" of Disappointment…read more Rating: 2.4 - It's cheap Chinese food--set your expectations accordingly, but honestly? Skip this place. Ah, Chung Wag in Chelsea--where the décor is stuck in a 70s time warp, the cash-only policy hits harder than a surprise MSG headache, and the food... well, let's just say my taste buds filed a complaint. It was a rainy Friday night, and the cravings hit--the kind only cheap, greasy, glorious Asian food can satisfy. Apple Maps whispered sweet nothings about Chung Wag being a 7-minute drive away, with prices that screamed "Yes, you can afford rent AND takeout!" Foolish optimism, thy name is hunger. The vibe inside was part retro diner, part chaotic takeout hub--like if a Wong Kar-wai film had a budget cut. People milled about, some waiting for orders, others staring at the menu like it was the 'I Ching' (spoiler: no fortunes were revealed). After a quick cash-for-food exchange (pro tip: bring bills, not dreams), I was back in my car, assaulted by an aroma so strong it could've cleared my sinuses AND my regrets. Alas, the excitement was shorter than a takeout chopstick: - Queen's Chicken Curry Onions? More like Boiled chicken with Suspicious Veggies--those were not onions, my dude. - Scallion Pancake? Staler than bread left out two weeks ago. - Crab Rangoon? Packed with more garlic than two roasted vampire repellents. - Fried Chicken Fingers? The lone survivor--because even Chung Wag can't ruin deep-fried nostalgia. Our quest for good-cheap Asian food continues, but Chung Wag? More like Chung Nah.

The "all day combo" which includes an entree, side of fried rice or low-mein along with an appetizer is a steal for under $20. General Gau Chicken is their spin on General Tso.

I'm glad we have a local restaurant that can give me a Chinese treat without going all the way to Boston. Pricing is about average for a local Chinese joint. If you're never need some takeout, definitely check it out.

The same "woman" who always answers the phone is wildly RUDE... ALWAYS! I honestly don't understand what is wrong with the owner of this establishment and why they don't SEE these reviews and do something about this woman!! I SPEND OVER $50 AND HAVE TO BE EMBARRASSED IN FRONT OF MY GUESTS BECAUSE OF A BELLIGERENT, RUDE EMPLOYEE.

I forgot how swanky looking the place was, and that still impressed. -- Egg Rolls: Cradled in a wicker basket, crisp on the outside, celery, and pork on the inside, a bit dry, but good flavor. A little above average. -- Spare Ribs on the bone: Painted on every surface with a nice char to complement the glaze. A thicker cut than most. Just like last time, they looked like a reheat, but still had very good texture (tender, moist) and decent enough flavor. Above average. -- Pork Egg Foo Yong: A trio of thick patties flooded with light brown sauce. Good crispness underneath. Soft and tender with big chunks of pork that wasn't dried out. Good overall flavor from the fry, the onions, and the pork, as well as the sauce. Near-elite to elite. -- Kung Pao Chicken: A little different here, with much larger shreds of chicken, a little darker than most, less celery and peanuts than most, a profusion of peppers, and pleasing spiciness to the soy-based sauce. Very enjoyable. Above average to well above average. -- Peking Noodles: A little different, and in a good way. More of a fine shred than a crumble, much spicier, and a little gloppier. Good feel to the egg noodles. I don't get this dish often enough to compare, but I enjoyed it. No OMG moments, but no complaints. Solid lunch, flavorful entrees, and I departed with a higher opinion than before. Upping to 4 stars.

I would say three stars is about accurate…read more The honey and I simply wanted a very late night dinner after a long day of travel and I went ahead and ordered UberEats for dim sum for two, as well as a chicken and rice soup (which came as chicken noodle), and tempura shrimp roll. Everything was okay, although the ingredients were definitely on the cheap side. The soup was about a step up from canned and the tempura shrimp roll was a-okay. The dum sum for two was middling with the bao being a version I didn't care for and the dumplings being on the bland side. All in all, we wouldn't order again, but it wasn't bad for late night very desperate fare.

The tables are large and perfect for family style serving. There is a large bar with plenty of TVs for every angle of viewing.

The food came out quickly, hot and perfect. We ate until we could eat no more, and then packed it up to take it home. I snagged a take out menu so I can order delivery. They'll deliver for $2!!

The food comes out fast and everything I've tried so far has been fresh and delicious. They do have some indoor seating but I think they're best known for their takeout and delivery.

The food arrived way faster than expected -- under 15 minutes instead of the estimated 30-40, which was awesome. Everything was nice and hot on arrival. The soup had good flavor, though I wished it were spicier. The Chicken & Broccoli had great quality white meat chicken, though both the broccoli stalks and chicken pieces could've been cut smaller for easier eating. My order didn't include the extra mushrooms I requested, but that's a small miss. My son orders from here all the time and loves it, so I'm happy to chalk this up to an off night. I'll definitely give them another try -- fast delivery, fresh food, and solid portions!
