Amazing food amazing service !!! I absolutely love their crackling chicken their Lobster Sauce my favorite and I always get an ice or lemonade read more

I can see why this restaurant gets 3 stars. There are yays & nays.... The food is pretty good. The service is cordial, but be ready for the "little odd things". I ordered (app) for lunch, after my job used them for catering. The food was really good. But I've learned what to get. The wings were phenomenal and the sesame chicken was pretty good. The soup doesn't come with the little crispy noodles (extra charge) and there was a lone piece of broccoli in the sesame chicken tucked under the protein. The white rice was overcooked / mushy and a few of the pieces of chicken being only fried dough. The fried rice is usually better. I remember the beef and broccoli being really good too. Hopefully the next thing i try is tasty. read more

Love this place, my favorite beef lo mein spot. Good service too, they do this thing where they pair your phone number with address and intercom so the next time you call they know the details already. read more

The food is overly good I go there multiple times a day they give you a great portion of food for a good price! Cheaper than a lot of Chinese food around the area and he gave a free ice tea for how loyal I am! I will always get food from here! read more

No frills Chinese food, not amazing but can count on it to be pretty tasty and this is what is available in the neighborhood for American Chinese food. My usual order is beef lo mein, sesame chicken, chicken with broccoli or in garlic sauce, crab Rangoon. Service is quick. read more

Shrimp and lobster sauce was actually shrimp with water. Worst I've ever had by a mile read more

First time getting delivery from this place. I ordered the chicken wings combo that came with 4 chicken wings and vegetable fried rice, and crab rangoon (6 in a bag). I love getting chicken wings with fried rice from Chinese restaurants and always have growing up and glad I ordered from here. The chicken wings were still crispy along with the crab rangoon. Portion size is great too and had leftovers to enjoy the next day. Delivery was prompt and followed drop off instructions. I'd probably continue ordering delivery from here and try some of the other combo options. read more

Wa Lung Kitchen - Sesame Chicken Platter with Pork Fried Rice - Chinese Near Me - New York, New York

Haven't tried Wa Lung since I was a kid and being in the area decided to give them a try today. Big mistake. Asked for a large sweet and sour sauce and got less than what would've been in a smaller container at any other Chinese restaurant I'd normally order from. (Check attached pictures) Also ordered the crispy tofu thinking it was 8 slices of tofu for the price and it was 8 square chunks. Also less than half of what I am given anywhere else. 2 stars is for the decent portion of chicken. But overall, not worth returning. read more

This is a bit less greasy than Chelsea Golden Wok but the same throwback to a good Americanized Chinese place from the mid 2000s. I wouldnt guess they've changed the recipes since. Love the red sauce and can't find cold sesame noodles like this anywhere worse. Took a while to deliver but for those noodles? I'll wait. read more

Wish I never ordered from here. Subpar on all levels. Order was 10 mins late for a pick up. Order was missing eggroll. Online descriptions of the food are misleading, they skimp on things for lunch specials. Took it back, and was met with attitude instead of proper customer service expected when fixing an issue on their part. Young counter lady had an attitude. Boss didnt apologize for issue. All of that, to come home and discover the food was over priced for small portions. Will never order from here again. read more

This is my neighborhood spot. I called to order "chicken and broccoli, white rice, little bit of sauce over the phone. I've ordered on the phone to avoid paying additional fees from Uber Eats or Yelp. Lady on the phone didn't understand my order l, so I repeated the order again. She than asked if I wanted it on a plate? I didn't understand why she asked if I wanted it on a plate, but I said yes, please put my food on a plate. Order came out to 13 dollars. I didn't understand why and thought I'll just correct it when I pick it up. When I picked up my order I asked why I was charged 13 dollars for what was 9 dollars on the menu? She told me taxes. So I asked 9 dollars food incurs 4 dollar taxes? She than proceeded and argued that I ordered a combination platter? And I told her I told you I wanted "chicken and broccoli, over rice, little bit of sauce." Don't give me things I didn't order. The owner which I've seen multiple times told the worker to take out the egg roll and just charge for the normal order. She proceeded to roll her eyes, give me a bitch face and sarcastically asked if I wanted sauce and utensils. I said yes and I would never come back. Hire stupid people with attitude problems for your store front, and your business will suffer. read more

So looking at the reviews I decided to give them a chance. I placed my order @ 7:48pm the young lady tells me it's going to be about an hour wait , I said on no problem , my delivery guy gets to me at 10:35pm the food ice cold and they forgot my large order of pork fried rice. I tried calling them no answer . Called the delivery no answer ! Called all day the next day no answer !!! $59.00 worth of food that was totally ice cold !!! And incomplete . I would at least expected them to pick up my call so that we could have settled this in a more civilized way . But I guess she saw my number on her caller ID and didn't want to deal with me. So disappointed !!!!! The ratings fooled me!! read more

Cooked with care. Every dish I ordered was done right. The place is always clean and the service prompt. The price is high compared to most places when compared but it's reasonable when the quality is there. Can't go wrong with Wa Lung. read more

This place was recommended to me because i was craving for spring rolls. I ordered the veg spring rolls, veg chow fun, and my date had the spicy chicken with broccoli combo. The spring rolls was eh.. typical chinese take out spring roll. Chow fun was heavy on garlic sauce, scallions, and onions... not much of the veg. We ate all our food but i would not go out of my way to eat here. The price is twice as much as a typical chinese take out place but the food is better than a lot of other chinese take outs. read more

Solid takeout Chinese. Ordered spring rolls, ma po tofu, sesame bean curd and shredded Szechuan beef. Everyone enjoyed the food. The most amazing Chinese food ever- no. Will continue to order from them. read more

I ordered the fried rice and shrimp a small order it was delicious and a order of spareribs although the ribs could've been cooked more but it was good I also ordered my grand children chicken wings and fried rice they said it was good so yes I will be ordering in the future read more

Not into Chinese food but went to take some family members. Service was not welcoming. Asked for a cup of ice for the seltzer water was told they didn't have cups, this day temperature was in the 90°s and they didn't have air conditioning . Felt apprehensive about asking for extra napkins...the chicken lo me in was okay, the steamed broccoli was good. Tasted chicken wingsthere was no flavor, no salt, no pepper just chicken in flour. CASH ONLY! read more

If life was like an anime, my experience at this fine establishment would be like food wars. The immaculate flavors that exploded throughout my mouth left me wanting more and salivating. read more

The crack sauce. Highly recommend the chicken wings! Asians do em the best! The muscular worker with the snake tattoo is a bonus too;)

I bought a $20 lunch and first they said a drink is free but then seems like a Boss lady said no free drink. I mean c'mon, I spend $20 bucks...no cash lest, at lease include the drink. That's why I was not recommended this place but still came it. It will be my last time here read more

Wa lung kitchen is the perfect example of moms cooking. That first bite leaves you hungrier and wanting more while giving you heartfelt emotions. After the first bite of the Skadoosh special, I remembered what it felt like to eat a tasty meal after being in the trenches. read more

I ordered yesterday a delivery for $19.32. I left $ 30 by the door and asked for $5.00 back in change, There was no $5.00 back. I called the person who took my order and she said she'd send the delivery guy back with my change. It never happened. The delivery man is a crook and stole from me during the coronavirus crisis. I wonder how many others he's cheated. Today I spoke with the manager. She was rude and hung up on me. I called her back. While she offered to send me back the $5.00, she wouldn't hear me out and began to lecture me on how many people she feeds, She hung up on me again. This is a dishonest place. Who steals during this health crisis? After many years of patronizing Wah Lung of Grand Street, I will never buy from them again. A former long time customer. read more

My boyfriend and I use to order from Wa Lung Kitchen at least four times a month. Never had a problem, we told our friends from the neighborhood to order from them and they liked the food. But one time my boyfriend ordered a shrimp and pork fried rice meal and got food poisoned. When we got the food we thought something was up because it was not the usual service. He was throwing up and had diarrhea for three days. read more

I had Home Style Tofu and the Gen Tso Combo as well as the Hot and Sour Soup. EVERYTHING was delicious and superior to the average takeout spot. The tofu, especially, was full of delicious exotic mushrooms that were amazing. Will def order from here again. Prices and quality are great! read more

The food is tasty, but customer service leaves a lot to be desired. Folks working the counter are very rude and dismissive, and never willing to extend kindness or answer questions. A smile goes a long ways, especially these days. Maybe their staff should consider it. read more

The pandemic has provided an opportunity to rediscover neighborhood Chinese take out. Very reasonable ($7.50 for small chicken curry with brown rice) courteous and efficient service, and ample portions of tasty food. My meal was loaded with water chestnuts bamboo shoots onions and cabbage as well as chicken and nicely spiced not four alarm hot hot hot. read more

There general toso chicken is delicious. I used to order it all the time. I would ask for 1/2,spicy hot and they would accommodate me snd it was yummy. Delivery came within 25 minutes which is good. I'm glad wa Kung is only 1/2 a block away from my apt. read more

Seems like I was sitting there forever waiting for my order but I have to admit the food was good. Not to greasy. My only issue is the young lady at the counter. I wanted to know how a certain dish was prepared and she glared at me and barely opened her mouth to answer me. I observed her interaction with other customers in person and over the phone. people want to support our local businesses but not if they have to deal with unprofessional behavior. read more

I made an order of five crab Ragu 15 minutes before I got there they charge me, I was waiting for my order as I was waiting the lady who works there was massaging her face all over and then working that got me sick to my stomach, then the guy comes back and tells me he only has two orders I cancel he also had me waiting because he did not start the order until I got there I will never go there again bunch of pigs. read more

Ordered from here about three or four times in the past month, and the food is always so good! We've been ordering General Tso's chicken, and it's been consistently well done and delicious. There's only one other place around the LES that has good General Tso's chicken that I've known (I've tried ~6 different places), so I'm glad to have found this place. During the recent two times we've ordered from here, we've noticed that their deliveries have been coming late (around 30 mins later than the latest projected delivery time on Seamless), but understandably in recent circumstances, they must be short staffed. We've called to check on our order, and it took quite a few times before we could reach anyone. The poor lady on the phone sounded frazzled, but she was still helpful in letting us know the status of our delivery. I'm so thankful that everyone there is working as hard as they can and still make fantastic food despite how difficult it's been these days. It's always been worth the wait, and the delivery person is always so nice, too! Thank you, Wa Lung Kitchen! read more

Wa Lung is an old school neighborhood favorite, and I was not disappointed after eating here after some time has passed! I got a shrimp with lobster sauce combo platter, along with some steamed dumplings. I was so happy that I did, let me tell you!! The lobster sauce was light, had nice pieces of meat, and some scallions in the sauce, and it was so good - you could totally eat it like a soup!! The fried rice had decent pieces of pork with bean sprouts and mixed well with the shrimp and lobster sauce. There were 5 nice-sized shrimp, and not a lot of oily residue in the rice. The egg roll was crispy and had a fresh taste. Dumplings were tasty with not too thick skin, and the dipping sauce was flavorful, and on point!! Would definitely order again - and SOON!! read more

Never ever again, stopped in for a small order. Chicken lo mein. Where was the chicken and very dry. Eggrolls Very bland and loaded with grease. Soup, didn't come with noodles,had to pay extra for them. Don't ask them anything because if looks could kill and the person who gave me the food got very agitated when I asked her if she put duck sauce in the bag, which there wasn't. She proceeded to put 2 packets in for two eggrolls. What is that one bite with sauce? When I asked for a few more she told me I had to pay for them. Fortune cookies are gratis either. Girls were inappropriately dressed and terrible customer service. Two men in back were cursing. Only giving one star because i have to. The food was disgusting. Never again. read more
