    Shanghainese Rice Cake Stir-fry / 上海炒年糕
    Sylvie C.

    I really wanted something light but hearty with carbs and the Shanghainese rice stir fry fit the bill. The rice cakes were nice and chewy just how I wanted. The shrimp weren't plentiful. I found maybe 4 at most. It was also disappointing most of the sauce was on the bottom. So it's imperative you stir everything from bottom up upon receiving the order. The top layer tasted like it had barely any seasonings because of it. I wish I had known the meal came with copious amounts of mushrooms. I otherwise would have specifically requested the order be made without the them. I am not a big fan of mushrooms and especially the fragrant kind like the shiitake variety. I feel like I had mouthfuls of mushrooms in each bite and that's all I tasted. Perhaps I will order something else they are more known for the next time I believe they specialize in Szechuan cuisine.

    i really enjoyed everything about this place. starting off with the ambiance, it's super low lit and moody (in a good way). we were seated immediately, as it wasn't busy when we arrived. we started off with the mixed vegetable steamed dumplings and hot & sour soup. both very flavorful, but ... i do wish i would've gotten the dumplings fried (i believe that was the other option). also, got some hot plum sake to share, can never go wrong with that. as our meal, we decided to share the sichuan basil chicken. it had all the right right flavors with the right amount of kick to it. it was also recommended by our server, great rec. then i ended it off with the teddy bear strawberry cheesecake .... i was not a fan. it didn't give "cheesecake" and gave off more of "mousse ". i would pass on that the next time.

    This place is a hidden gem! I can't even begin to say how great the experience was. The bartender was ridiculously on point with service and knowledge. Her name is Catherine and boy does she provide an amazing dining time. So round up the family and friends for an amazing Tuesday night. Go Wang Jiang you're crushing it!

    Wood Ear Mushrooms

    I can easily give Wang Jiang Lou a top spot in Chinese restaurants in Hampton Roads. I have had so much of their menu, between lunch dates and having such a spread of the menu from my brother's wedding rehearsal dinner. Every dish does it for me. My favorite of all time is the wood-ear mushrooms. Not all Chinese restaurants have this, but they do and they cook it just right. It's cold with a subtle spiciness. I can go here and just eat back-to-back appetizers of that. The restaurant itself is dimly lit and cozy, with plenty of tables and even an event room for bigger parties. The servers are excellent at checking in and making sure everything is to your liking. Even through the chaos of my brother's 50 person dinner, they crushed it and everyone got what they needed (they made sure to keep the beer running to me as well). This place is really great, and if you want top-flight, classier-than-takeout, friendly-environment, Chinese food, hit up Wang Jiang Lou.

    Cheese wontons
    China B.

    We met up for lunch at Wang Jiang Lou. We were greeted when we walked in and taken to our table. The setting is dimly lit, the tables are very spacious, and I like the vibe and Asian inspired decor!! I like that it's spaced out and you're not over crowded. Our waitress Catherine was awesome. She's always nice, friendly, and patient. She gave us the menu specials and allowed us to chat a bit before ordering. My friend ordered the cheese wontons, general tso chicken and dan dan noodles. The wontons were really good. I like that they were sweet and crispy. I'd get them again for sure. The dan dan noodles were spicy and flavorful. My sister and I got the Mongolian chicken, storm fish, and eggplant. This is my go to meal that I normally get, it's always tasty. The storm fish normally comes with a spicy mayo sauce, but they didn't have it this time. The fish was still ok, but the sauce is what gives it flavor, so it was a little bland this time. The eggplant and Mongolian chicken were yum, hot, and fresh!! I definitely recommend this restaurant to alot of people. I just think it's more elevated compared to regular Chinese takeout food. They have many delicious options on the menu, and again the vibe is chill. If you're planning a group dinner this is definitely a great option. The rooms have a lazy Susan on the table to make sharing the family style meals easy. Check them out!!

    I stopped by Wang Jiang Lou on a Saturday afternoon around 2pm. I was greeted as soon as I walked in and since I had some time to waste until my friends arrived, I chatted with the host and inquired about their party/event rooms. He insisted I take a look at the rooms and I must say, they were larger than I expected and were decorated very nicely. Once my friends arrived, we were seated right away. I knew I wanted the Dan Dan Noodles, which are my favorite, but I also decided on the General Tso's Chicken and the Crab Wontons. My friends ordered the Mongolian Chicken and the Yu Xiang Eggplant. Our food was served about 15-20 minutes after we ordered, which was very impressive and our server made sure we had everything we needed. The food was absolutely amazing, per usual. I love how each dish has such rich and vibrant flavors and the portions are large enough to share. We had a wonderful time dining together! The staff were great, the restaurant was clean and the food was delicious! We'll definitely be returning!!!

    To celebrate Valentine's Day, Sophia and I had dinner at this spot in the Hilltop Square area of Virginia Beach. They opened up in 2024 and reviews have been fairly positive. After setting up a 5pm reservation, it was time to see if this spot lived up to the hype. The both of us walked in where it wasn't totally packed. The entire restaurant is gorgeous. Totally spotless and full of space. They even have private rooms which can hold up to 12 people per table with some even accomodating large parties. It's hard to believe they've been open for less than 2 years and still look brand new. When we were done looking at the menu, we were ready to order. Apps were Sichuan wontons. Pretty goood stuff. Tossed with chili oil wasn't too spicy and had a sweet aftertaste. For my entree selection, I chose Wild Pepper Beef. It was spicy and very good. When you have a dish that arrives sizzling, you know you're in for a treat. The beef was very tender and there were enough veggies on hand waiting to be devoured. Sophia had the Sweet Pea Prawns dish which she thought was good. Overall, an expensive experience but one that you wouldn't mind having once in a while. We wouldn't mind coming back to try other dishes. Till next time :)

    Food was good, but I did think it was overpriced for what they had to offer. Portions were kind of small. I do think you're paying for the ambiance more so than the food. The decorations were really pretty. Service was really good too.

    Our waitress was amazing. The food was so delicious but the star of the show was the Mongolian beef. I forgot to take a photo of it. The grandma steam baos

    We came here on a whim when our normal spot was closed. As we walked in a large group of Chinese people were coming in. I sometimes judge my places based on this, if the locals like it, it must be good. Imagine my surprise walking into this interior, it is a beautiful well built place. The outside does not give any details that the interior would be this beautiful. I was taken back as this looks like a high end Chinese place with plenty of room for large groups of people. Ambiance, this place hits it out of the park. Now onto service, was quick to greet us but toward the end of the meal it started to fall off as all of our drinks went empty. There is no kids menu here but they did have very cute flashing lights in the kids cups. Which she gave us extra to take home. The food came out very fast, almost too fast as we were still eating apps and soup. On to the food, so when I judge any Asian food, I judge it the next day as well for leftovers. My wife being part Asian has high expectations and I do as well because she is an amazing cook. This food was good, the Kung Pao chicken was the rock star. The orange chicken was good and I get homemade orange chicken all the time. All of this food tastes home made, it has great flavor and it lasted the next day well. Now for the duck, we buy duck all the time, this was a bit dry from the tea smoking. I would not order it again. The lunch portions is where most people including myself will be happy. Good portions and great food. Price, this place is expensive. I normally do not look sideways at price because I believe in getting what you pay for. Here you are paying for ambiance and quality food, but there is a large cost. I recommend staying with lunch portions unless you have a large party. Overall, I am conflicted on this one, the food is very good but the cost is almost too high for me at a dinner price. Would I give it another shot, yes, at lunch.

    I love authentic Szechuan, Hunan, and Chinese and seek it out when I travel, so recently while in VA Beach for work, I came here for dinner with a colleague. We were impressed with the huge size inside and the great décor of this place - it truly was very nice! Service was friendly and helpful too... Mary the manager on duty was helpful and very friendly - Which was great! We ordered several items from the menu so that we could try lots in a shareable style of meal. We got a bottle of a nice sake to enjoy during dinner. Then we started with their spicy cucumber and it was decent. Next up was their Sichuan wontons, which were very nicely done. The chili oil in them was flavorful with a decent spice to it. We enjoyed several items for dinner, with some of our favs being their dry stir-fry string beans, smoked chicken fried rice, and Sichuan basil chicken. We definitely enjoyed this visit and will be back!

    We had dinner tonight at Wang Jiang Lou, located in the Hilltop area of Virginia Beach. This is an upscale Chinese restaurant and the food here is very good. On our first visit, we were with a large group of friends celebrating a birthday, but we didn't order anything. Someone from our group handled the ordering and food just appeared. Everything was delicious but when we arrived tonight we realized that we didn't know what to order. Mary the bartender was very helpful with menu questions and suggestions. We started out with a bowl of Hot and Sour Soup and also the Mandarin Spare Ribs. Both were excellent. We decided to split the General Tao Chicken. The dish was very good but we were a little disappointed that the broccoli was served COLD. The bartender told us that that is by design and she's had conversations with the kitchen staff, to no avail. It's meant to be a garnish and not necessarily to be eaten, or so we were told. There were several large pieces on the plate, I I think that they should either heat it up or put less if it's just a garnish. Nevertheless, the General Tao chicken was piping hot and the sauce was very good. Overall, we enjoyed our experience here and we will return.

    I absolutely love this restaraunt! Their food is absolutely delicious! I've had the sesame shrimp, Mongolian beef, and Szechuan fish. Everything had been hot and tasty. The vibe of the restaurant is sophisticated and it is very welcoming. Wait staff is attentive responds to quickly. One of my favorite restaurants!

    100% the rockstar low-key winner. I love this place and almost always opt to come here whenever…read morepossible. It's just very consistent and you always get what you're expecting no matter what. I can remember what I had day one and that same quality, service, and timeliness are all spot on to today. I don't know what they're doing to keep the quality and service this awesome but I hope they keep it up as it is also what keeps us coming. If you're local to the area and have never visited this place, you're seriously missing out as it's a total win! Food Taste: 5 Overall Service: 5 Value of service to cost: 5 Facility: 5 Ambiance: Small place that is simple in decor and I always love the see thru-window to watch the cooking. Repeat customer: yes Dog Friendly: no

    My Husband's Food Review : Beef Mongolian Noodles -- 4/5…read more The noodles are freshly made with every order, and you can literally watch the man through the glass forming them by hand from the dough. The noodles were tender with a nice, bouncy texture. The sauce had a good balance of salty and sweet, and the beef was tender and flavorful. Jalapeño Chicken Noodles -- 5/5 The jalapeño peppers added a great crunch and paired really well with the texture of the noodles. The chicken was tender, and the sauce was light enough to let all the flavors come through. Definitely a favorite! Salt & Pepper Chicken Wings -- 5/5 The wings were cooked to perfection--crispy, crunchy, and well coated with seasoning. The crispiness paired really well with the overall dish, and every bite had great flavor. Beef Pancakes -- 2/5 This was basically like a hand-held burger stuffed inside crispy dough. The onions added a nice flavor to the beef, and the chili oil on the table paired really well with it. However, I think it would have been much better if the beef had been mixed with a sweet soy sauce for a little more flavor and balance.
