I spent over $50 on food, and the quality was extremely disappointing. The General Tso's chicken was basically nothing but breaded chicken pieces -- no vegetables and barely any sauce. The Orange Chicken was also dry and lacked sauce, making both dishes bland and unappetizing. To make matters worse, each entrée is supposed to come with rice, yet only a very small portion was provided. At this point, it feels like this restaurant is cutting corners and poorly managed. I'm generally not someone who leaves negative reviews, but the lack of care, consistency, and food quality is impossible to ignore. This was my last time giving this establishment my hard-earned money. I'd rather spend it somewhere that values its customers and takes pride in the food they serve.

It's probably the fanciest Chinese restaurant I've been to in AZ. The lunch menu is excellent and quite impressive! There are 8 entrees to choose along with a side for only $20. What's crazy is that a full size seafood and wagyu beef belly jjampong is a side! They're regularly $24 so it's a crazy deal to get an additional entree!! We ordered seafood jjampong and wagyu beef jjampong as sides and genghis khan beef and chili garlic fried chicken as mains. The jjampong had that great umami taste without the oiliness that's unavoidable at other restaurants. The ingredients felt very premium and fresh. Ghengis khan beef pieces were very generous and tender with a savory sauce. Chili garlic chicken was a tad salty for me but had great crisp. Service was impeccable and one you'd expect from an upscale restaurant. I can't wait to go back to try other dishes from the lunch menu.

To be clear, I am a New Yorker and know good fast Chinese food. The ambiance was promising. It looked like I was finally going to find what I've been looking for in Phoenix for years. For whatever reason, Chinese restaurants in Arizona serve egg hockey pucks and cover it with various items and call it egg foo young. I even asked about it before I ordered it. Alas when I got home and saw what I had, I was disappointed. It's faster to make it this way but the egg hockey puck had no taste - zero. They could have at least added oyster sauce, a little soy sauce, maybe nam plah, and perhaps sesame oil. It was tasteless. A complete miss. I also ordered something simple, shrimp spring rolls. They were delicious! I inhaled them and will order them again. I'd go again just for the spring rolls. Maybe they have other dishes that are good and I may not entirely give up but the egg foo young is a no go.

Gotta support local when you can I say! The menu is pretty basic and has all your typical options for Americanized Chinese food. Wanting to get something that had noodles in it, I opted for the combination #1 which has chow mein crispy noodles, pork fried rice, and two tempura shrimp. Quite a lot of food and for a very reasonable price! I think the combo was around $10. If you are a fan of bean sprouts, this is your place. The chow mein had a massive pile of beansprouts on top. The noodles were indeed crispy but they was such a meager portion compared to the beansprouts. The fried rice was pretty basic but also a generous portion and the two tempura shrimp had a nice crispy batter. I tried some of the eggroll too which is one of the most unique versions I've had since the super crispy outer layer was either a different preparation or different wrap material than I'm used to. The interior was made primarily of beansprouts too. Service was good. Our food was prepared fairly quickly.

We started with the creamy, coconut-infused Yam Mamuang Boran (green mango salad), and food came FAST from there. Some standouts for me included: - Ba Mee Moo Dang (BBQ pork egg noodles) - Pla Rad Prik Sam Rot (fried branzino) - Tom Kha Gai (coconut chicken soup) - Tom Yum Haeng Sen Yai (wide rice noodles) All of these had a beautiful balance of acidity, savoriness, spice, and herbs in one dish with tender meat. But everything together really hit well. For example, the bok choy was a light break between super savory curries and fried wings (HUGE fan of the marinade on these). I also enjoyed getting to share dishes I wouldn't normally order a la carte, like the Naw Tawt (fried bamboo). The staff members made sure to ask about allergies and spice tolerances and thoroughly explained each dish as it was served. We actually ended up paying slightly less than the estimated $55/person for 12 dishes (before drinks) -- and we realized we got an extra serving of the chicken wings at no charge. Arai Kodai is truly a phenomenal way to experience more of the best dishes on the menu! We were stuffed, and I would gladly return.

(This is an updated review that includes responses to the owner's response below. I left…read moreeverything the same except for where you see "LW" and I'm directly addressing the owner.) It's always nice to see a unique menu. Often you go to a restaurant and see the same items found everywhere else. It could be Italian, Thai, Viet, Indian, etc. Here at Lom Wong, you not only get a unique menu, but a story to go with it. The family lived in three parts of Thailand and the menu has a section for each. Great! The restaurant layout is fun and feels like a single family home. Front patio, nice interior, and rear patio. The crowd was hip and attractive as Phoenix is wont to be. But there was only one bathroom and a long line for it. Wtf? Most important, the food did not land. Of the five dishes we had, I would only want one of them a second time. We got off to a good start with the bok choy tofu starter. This was excellent and unfortunately the only highlight. The flavor seemed to be from dark or sweet soy sauce and perhaps oyster sauce. It was delicate and delicious. Then came the mango salad. It was one note: sour and bland. I love a papaya salad with the acid from lime, sweetness from palm sugar, heat from chilies, and the textures of papaya, green beans, peanuts, etc. This was just strands of sour, unripe mango that was hardly dressed. (LW: I don't care that you're using unripe mango over papaya. I care that the dish is bland and one note in both flavor and texture. Where is the dressing, the flavor?) Next was the pork belly curry. Oh dear. I love Thai curry so much and this has so much spice powder, (not necessarily flavor), that it felt chalky. It was so heavy and thick without delight. The rice was overcooked, watery and dense, so it couldn't serve as a counterpoint. The pork belly had all the slimy fat parts that some like. I admit it's personal preference that I don't care for it. I was hoping just to get the protein parts. (LW: I'll defer to your expertise and stand corrected on powder, and I apologize. And yet, the curry is very thick and lacking flavor. Maybe it just needs more salt/fish sauce and palm sugar. I've had so many curries where I want to lick the bowl clean. Here it was anything but that.) The char siu with noodles was very sweet and just decent. The pork had bad parts and at this price level I want better. (LW: I'm not buying the fat argument. The more upscale the restaurant, the better the meat quality. You're in the US and this dish is dominated by the sweet noodles. There's no need for bad fat parts. It ads nothing.) The banana split with coconut sorbet. Just no. The presentation was unacceptable. Baskin Robbins does better. They just slice up a banana, put on a "sorbet" that felt more like ice cream and lacked coconut flavor, and then sprayed on the whipped cream, fudge, and nuts without any creativity. No presentation. (LW: Don't talk down to me. I know the difference between sorbet and ice cream and that should be obvious from what I wrote above. I've had way better coconut sorbet's period. There was a thick creaminess to this that felt more like ice cream. It was bland. It's also ironic, given what you said, that you're getting it from a "Creamery". Fish sauce caramel? Just no. I live in a household that uses fish sauce 3-4 days per week. It doesn't work in a caramel. Trying too hard. Take it out of the cocktails too. It doesn't work there either.) Style over substance. Hip place, hip crowd. It's "interesting". But the food doesn't land. If we go a second time, we'll try the fried chicken, squash curry, and tom kha. If there's a second time. Not in a hurry, unfortunately. (The charming diners next to us loved their fried chicken for the record.) One last thing. You can order drinks at the beginning but not appetizers. One must order all dishes at the same time. This reminds me of the "no substitutions" places. When you carry this much attitude with some gimmicky, exceptional policy, you had better deliver. In my experience, places like this almost never do. It's more like a trick to manipulate one into thinking your food is more special than it is. (LW: I've been to Thailand. Thanks for assuming I haven't been. I ate loads of extraordinary street food. $1 per dish. I also had great restaurant meals. Never once did I encounter some "rigid" notion that all dishes be ordered at once. Good to know that Thai village homes wait on you and insist on this. They also serve $16 cocktails with fish sauce. Lom Wong invented family style! Thanks! Stop with all of the "Americanized / Authentic" nonsense. Bland is bland and it's something I never associate with Thai food. I found your response presumptuous and condescending. I would have returned to your restaurant to try other dishes, but now I won't. I really dislike a restaurant telling me that I didn't enjoy their food because of my own shortcomings.)
