For a Chinese takeout place, this is one of the better choices. I have not ordered from here in a couple of years and when I returned recently, I found out the owners are different. However, they kept the General Tso's fish in the menu and I was glad about that. Same good quality. Same good taste. One must not judge the place on ambience--there is no such thing. It is a busy takeout place. Although, I do wonder about the state of the kitchen...nevertheless, with faith, I ordered. Ah, so the food is good quality and the prices are cheaper than most other Chinese places. I am IN. I need to eat good food while getting great value and this place scores. The young lady and her mom who take orders are helpful enough. Don't expect big, warm smiles--that is not what this place is about. Thankful that they get my orders right and fast, too. I am glad I rediscovered this place and I recommend it to Chinese food fans who like enjoying their dishes at home. I have their number on my speed dial. read more

This place was my go to for Chinese for decades, but since Jin retired, it is decidedly gross. Does not appear clean, and my order of shrimp fried rice was oily, salty, and tasted burnt. But it WAS cheap! read more

I tried to like it but ew. The boneless barbecue ribs was s horrible taste like honey water the rice is better than the ribs but still not good. The egg roll has so flavor taste plane, the food was cold when it came I live 2 minutes away from it, the ribs taste burnt., makes me feel like trowing up. read more

Delicious Chinese offerings from a variety of diverse styles and regions. Love the simple elegance and delicate nature of the garlic noodle and the crab Rangoon. Great general Tso and schezuan shrimp. read more

Very good Chinese food: light and tasty. The delivery is very fast and the food arrives hot. Online ordering is a breeze. I missed the tip on the online ordering the second time I ordered, nevertheless, I called them and added the tip to my card. Highly recommend! read more

I have to admit I'm super picky when it comes to Chinese food, it took me forever to find a place I want to go to more than once in Providence, but Waj Wai House did not disappoint. I have had their chicken and broccoli, general tsaos, dumplings, crab Rangoon...I have to stop because now I'm getting hungry lol. The food is great. I have only done take out so I can't speak to how the restaurant is to sit in, but if you need good takeout in Providence this is the spot for Chinese. read more

I ordered from here yesterday and I have to say I was very impressed. The food arrived fresh and was piping hot. The portions were large and definitely worth the price. I'll definitely be ordering from Wai Wai House again! read more

Great food. Nice and spicy! They were able to process my online order and deliver quicker than I expected.

This is the only place I will order Chinese from locally. I got the recommendation from the nurses in the ER and they never steer you wrong.

Been going here for over 30 years. About 10 years ago, the business was sold. Old cook Jin (or Jim) was great - especially making the General Tso chicken. New owners have done well with up keeping quality of food and service. I love their crab Rangoon. read more

We ordered for delivery and they never delivered. I checked everywhere and it wasn't at my house. When I called they said they had delivered and there was nothing they could do and hung up. read more

While yes many businesses are doing their best due to COVID this is becoming a constant theme with this place. Order was placed around 5pm and at 615pm we called and they said they tried to deliver but no one answered and no one called. Still waiting and they are only a 2 minute drive. While they have great food, the take orders on Grubhub, DoorDash, by phone and walk-in. They cannot keep things straight and it is only going to hurt the business in the end. read more

I do not want or need my local Chinese takeout place to be five stars. That said, this fell short of "satisfying" & landed more on the downward sloping side of "mediocre". I ordered fried wonton & chicken lo mein for my solo pandemic New Year's Eve. Avoid the fried wonton. They were tough, greasy, & lukewarm. The chicken lo mein benefitted from additional soy sauce. read more

They take forever. It's kind of dirty in there and smelled like they had a gas leak BUT the orange chicken was really good and fresh. Same for the pork fried rice. I have not had great luck with Chinese food in Rhode Island and I'm sorry to say this is one of the better places. Food wise solid 4 stars everything else 1 star but it is take out only so... read more

Stopped in this place to grab some take-out dinner for me and my husband and we were both surprised at many things. First, the food was very nicely seasoned and was prepared well. I had the Hunan Shrimp while he had the Beef with Broccoli. The food did not clump together as we have experienced in other Asian restaurants and so we were able to separate individual items while we ate. The only bad point was although Hunan Shrimp is supposed to be spicy, this one was not and so I had to add some spice of my own at home. But this place should be on everyone's list for good Chinese take-out food! read more

I have been ordering from Wai Wai for years! My husband and I are disabled and order out often. Every other place we order from bring it right in to us. The drivers from Wai Wai had my blood pressure up. First he wanted me to come out to the parking lot, then he wanted to drop it by the front door, while I was begging him to just bring into the living room. OMG I don't need drama to get my dinner. OMG!! Then he left, AND WALKED BACK IN WITHOUT KNOCKING!!! He wanted a tip. I'm mad at myself for giving him $4 because we argued! Worst customer service ever! Then, I had asked for duck sauce for my eggroll. I didn't get it, and when I called, she said next time. Are you kidding me, I am less than 5 minutes away. If she really cared, she would have brought it over. After over ten years of giving them gobs of money, I am sad that they cared so little. This was my last meal from them. One other item of interest, they don't honor the prices shown on the website. BE AWARE read more

Becarefull when ordering ,i checked my bank statements acouple of days latet ,i knoticed that they gave themseives a 30% tip on top of the meal cost,,, read more

After taking my daughter to the park I drove bye and said hey why not try it. So glad we did staff was extremely friendly when ordering in person and over the phone. The chicken broccoli and white rice was extremely good my picky 2 year old even loved it. My husband ordered the chicken chow main with chicken fried rice. He absolutely loved it they even gave him extra bean sprouts like he asked. The egg rolls were cooked to perfection not greasy at all my husband and daughter loved them. My favorite thing was the chicken teriyaki omfg the best I have ever had. They are huge pieces of chicken with this amazing sticky teriyaki sauce. Highly recommend. I will be going back wanna try the orange chicken. As well as get them yummy Chicken chow main was also extremely good my father and husband loved it. read more

Food is lousy and the place is filthy. Little Children answering the phone and are unable to understand your order. Won't be going back ! read more

What a wonderful find! When Chinese food is so risky if it will be good or bad this place really made my night. I placed my order over the phone when I was about 8 minutes away and they said it would be about 15 minutes. Arrived and it was being boxed up. The lady at the register was short and young and had an elf hat on and was very nice and offered me a really cool Chinese calendar which I took because why not. When I got home I ate the food which was amazing! I had orange chicken which had an awesome sauce with orange peels and a tiny bit of spice but my three year old and 1 year old can handle it so... I had some no mein noodles which were not over cooked and not too thin. I had a vegetarian tofu, broccoli, and carrot in a garlic sauce and that was sooo good! And last I had chicken teriyaki skewers which had a sweet teriyaki sauce and the chicken was huge and moist!! I will be back!! read more

The food is decent, but for the love of God.... could they speed up the service??? First time we ordered take out took over two hours and multiple phone calls. Second time ordering take out... same BS. They estimate an hour. Two hours later... no delivery. Again... multiple phone calls later and KIDS answering the phone, we're told... sorry you're delayed. UNACCEPTABLE! Learn how to run your business in a timely manner, don't have little kids answering your phones and stop bull shitting people about how long you're going to take. It should not take this long to put a few dishes together and deliver it a mile away. read more

Excellent Crab Rangoon. The food is always tasty and fresh. Fast efficient counter service. Easy ordering, pick up and delivery.

I have ordered from this establishment on a regular basis for over 10 years. It gets worse every year! Food does not have original quality, delivery time is shamefully slow (1 hour, 30 minutes for a simple $40 order). I called 3 times asking for my food and still got not results. Perhaps it has something to do with the young child who took the order - aren't there labor laws?! I want my money back... the food was COLD and DISGUSTING!!! It went immediately in the garbage - I will never order from Wai Wai House again, but WILL share my experience with all my neighbors (2 miles from this establishment). read more

Sorry folks definitely a pass. Ordered take out and the person behind the register was upset she had to make change. Food was nothing to right home about.chicken wings were bland, fried rice tasted reheated. I can usually judge how good the food is going to be on a Chinese restaurant by there egg roll. And I'll tell ya this places egg roll are bad. Greasy and the garbage was under cooked. With so many other Chinese restaurants near by this place needs to up there game. read more

Food was nice and fast. The short rib tasted so good. I will recommend it in this area.

Our usual neighborhood Chinese place was unexpectedly closed so we decided to try this place. The staff were polite and helpful and the food was prepared quickly and was warm. However otherwise this place has little to recommend it. We had: - the steamed dumplings which were fine but not great - the sautéed broccoli which was tasty - the ma of tofu which was bland - the mooshi pork which was fine This is the kind of place to go if you are looking for cheap, Americanized Chinese food. Otherwise I'd skip it. read more

My job ordered food from here and there was maggots in the broccoli!! I'm very disgusted and sick to my stomach. read more

Wai Wai House - Maggots in the food!!! - Chinese Near Me - Cranston, Rhode Island

Good food (not gourmet by any stretch but a good neighborhood place), family operated, fast delivery, extensive menu. But HORRIBLE website. I can't tell you how many times I've entered my credit card info just to have the delivery person expect cash. The first time it happened I went back and checked the order and even though I entered my credit card info the web site processed it as a cash order. My card was never charged. But now I always make sure I have enough cash to cover the order even if I attempt to use a credit card, and always check the email receipt to make sure. Unfortunately this means they lose out on orders if I don't happen to have cash handy. Wish I could go there more often. read more

I placed an order at 8:45pm. Their last order for delivery is 10pm. It told me they were preparing my order, then that it was on its way. Estimated arrival time was 9:35. My food never arrived. This business has no problem taking your money for your order but I guess it's an issue to actually bring you the food. Will NEVER give this place another chance. Very unprofessional. Thanks for wasting my time read more

Wai wai house food is slamming! Buy some, eat some, you would thank me later If you knew me. Hee hee Vegetable chow mein taste authentic like a 40 yr old recipe that I remember tasting as a kid in downtown Providence when there was a Chinese restaurant on the second floor next to Gellers shoes! What chu know bout that? Do you remember the Outlet with the talking Christmas tree? Now what chu know bout that? Get ya grub on at Wai Wai house! I'm not ordering Chinese food unless it's from Wai Wai house. The Cooks deserve 5 stars ***** great cooks the best! I'm gonna see if they make mushi pork with cabbage And little pancakes to put the mushi pork inside. read more

Ok. It's simple. It's been exactly the same for 20+ years. It's Americanized Chinese. They deliver which is gold For me. There are hidden gems on this menu. The Sticky Wings are in my top 5 of all time. No batter. Crispy skin and the sauce is of the dark brown and not jet black variety. They are so close to perfect. I order one for me and a second for everyone else. If we order our for Asian and I have to go pick it up (like lemongrass) I will order these wings and grab them on the way back. Singapore Mei Fun. Happy thin rice noodles, heat, curry, shrimp, chicken and veggies. Solid. My old man swears by the roast pork egg foo young. Gets it every time without fail. I will get Double Cooked Pork combo or the $4 small lo mein on occasion. Everything else is pretty standard IMO. They are consistent. And like I always say: it's key. read more

Nothing stood out to me. Ordered once and they forgot my drinks but rushed them over. Just another lil take out spot. I'd prob order from again but there's plenty of others close by to try first before I make that choice. read more

Wai Wai House is an Edgewood staple. It has the best General Tso's chicken I've ever eaten, and the House Wings are not far behind. It'll forever be my favorite Chinese food place. read more

Garlic noodles are so delicious. Lo mein as well. Shrimp and broccolis Seasoning is amazing. Not even the steamed rice taste bland. Delicious all around. read more

Used to be better under the other owner this is a new owner and she really doesn't care for American people other than the money she can get from them she erased all the prices when she took over the restaurant the other owner was a great and terrific guy the food is good but the food was much better when the old owner was working that under this new owner of the food is still okay but service has dropped a lot and the quality of food has going down read more

Twenty years ago we moved into the neighborhood. After sampling the Cantonese take-out at about a half-dozen local restaurants, we elected Wai Wai House as our favorite. Lately, though, the place has undergone a change that has invited some disappointment. Flavors seem to change from order to order. Required sauces (ginger sauce for scallion pancakes, for example) are sometimes forgotten. There seems to be friction or confusion that results in shouting among the staff. It's not yet reached the point where we'll forsake them for another; however, the thought has entered our minds and we may well be tempted to look around once again. By the way, for Szechuan, we continue to patronize Lemongrass. read more

We have ordered from Wai Wai House in the past and loved the food! No MSG and flavorful food. We ordered delivery the week of October 10. Way too much MSG. Will not be back anytime soon. Very disappointing. read more

Great Chinese food and reasonable prices. It always amazes me at how fast the food is ready.

Wai Wai is a small antiquated chinese restaurant but the chefs are traditional, old school and look exactly that. Now to the point. This place is amazing. The takeout is great. Everything is good. The will challenge anyone on this. Just explain. Today I got the best delivery of my life. read more

Fantastic food. Generous portions. Fast delivery. Exactly what you want from a place like this.
