Dumplings were delicious. Then it was downhill from there. Orange chicken had good flavor but was too saucy for my tastes, good if you want the sauce to completely cover your rice. Mandarin style stir fry noodles were very greasy and the "hong kong" style wonton soup is just normal wonton soup with tons cheap maruchan noodles thrown in- resulting in very little broth for the whole soup. Also, I feel i need to say that just waiting there for my food made me reconsider eating there- the floor looked like it handnt been swept in months. Go here if it's super convenient or you only have $3 for their lunch special read more

?????? I don't get all the big star reviews, at all. It's not good. It's not horrific but it's not tasty. I broke my own rule on Chinese food reviews on Yelp and went with Wing Chong, being blinded by all the stars. From now on, it's 1-2 star places, if that. The hubs ordered cashew chicken and wonton soup. He said the soup would have benefitted from being wonton-less. I had egg rolls and chicken lo mein. The egg rolls were flavorless and filled solely with cabbage. The outside was more like a batter than an egg roll wrapper. I screwed up on the lo mein -- I thought it was going to be the spaghetti noodle type of noodles. When I ordered, she asked "pan fried?" I said ok, though I wasn't entirely sure what she meant and she seemed in such a rush. I ended up with the wrong thing, my own fault. Turns out what I wanted was in the next grouping down on the menu. I've never seen lo mein not as the spaghetti type noodles though. Maybe I'm the uneducated one, I dunno. I don't know anyone who really reads a Chinese food menu though -- we all know what we want and scan the menu to see if it's there. Really? Less greasy? My chicken lo mein was greasier than a bottle of Astroglide. It was flavorless as well. I asked the hubs how his meal was and all he said was "fine." A star for being nicely inexpensive. It did take just shy of an hour for delivery on a Sunday night, not too far from their location, which was a bit of a drag. read more

It's a small business and I feel bad trashing it, but this is yet another Yelp-hyped restaurant. It has to be some combination of bias, poor taste and even purchased reviews elevating its score. The quality of the food is at or below cafeteria level and not remotely flavorful or authentic, which accounts for both ingredients and preparation. The food doesn't even taste like a poor version of what you might be expecting. They seem to have no sense of how the dishes they serve are supposed to look or taste either based on Chinese tradition or American Chinese takeout tradition. The only good things I have to say: The restaurant isn't as filthy as some of the more critical reviews had me expecting. Also, the service was prompt and ordering process easy. Details: Ordered Hunan chicken and curry rice. The chicken's texture suggests it was boiled. Poorly. If it wasn't boiled that's particularly frightening given the texture (and let's just say I'm frightened). Hunan style is also supposed to be very spicy. Spicy? It tasted like what a rural Canadian woman who never left her town or learned to cook might have slapped together with chicken she mistakenly thawed. Even I, as a novice, know this version isn't even close to the way this dish is supposed to look or taste. I would accept that if it wasn't also bland and suspect in terms of safe preparation. I was afraid to eat it and fear I ate too much. The curry rice was boring. The shrimp are clearly the tiny frozen kind you buy in bulk at Costco on the cheap. But I felt safer eating that. I didn't feel it would get me sick like the chicken. Still, it was so bland I had to put my own hot sauce on it to try and dope it up. read more

I heart wing chong! Every time we get food from here it's super yummy and I am blown away about how cheap it is...we ordered enough food for 5 people and it came to less than $30. And I quite frankly find the hole in the wall and kitchen style atmosphere quite charming... read more

I'm from San Francisco, CA - Where the Chinese food is the best you could get in the entire United States. One in three people that live in San Francisco are of Asian decent (mostly due to the Golden Railroad projects that took place in the history of the State of California and San Francisco being the major hub between Asia and the United States). My standards for Chinese food are very high! I've had the best - even the weird stuff (like birds nest soup, chicken feet soup and one big serving of fried pork fat dressed in a decadent brown sauce). Wing Chong is AS CLOSE as it gets to the taste I remember enjoying back home in San Francisco. It is by far the best Chinese takeout I've ordered in the city of Chicago (and I've lived here 5 years! VERY reasonable prices with VERY generous servings. It doesn't get better than this! read more

Yes it is a hole in the wall and really a carryout place...it's not fancy but the food is great and the prices are really great. Its a family run place, they've been there forever and they are really nice people....they really pack a lot of food into the takeouts, so be careful opening them! They have a great lunch special for $2.95, fried rice, egg roll and fortune cookie...its a ton of rice too much for just one person. They are also fast so its great if your super hungry and in a hurry. Try it once and you will be hooked! read more

When I moved into this neighborhood, I was initially amused by this restaurant just because of it's name. C'mon, it's just fun to say! And then, eventually, when I had a craving for Chinese food, Wing Chong was the first place I thought of. Also it was the closest. I've gotten takeout from them several times and every time I've been pleased with both the food and the service. The General Tso's chicken is probably the spiciest I've ever had- wowza! Eggrolls, very satisfying. The crab rangoon is quite good and actually has crab (imitation?) but nonetheless it's not full of just cream cheese. Last night I enjoyed some great cashew chicken. Oh, and large portions. Even when I get a small order I can make at least two meals out of it all. They really stuff those takeout containers to the max. Basically if you're in the neighborhood this is a great little takeout joint. read more

This place is great place for a quick lunch break to pick up, it is tasty, fast, and cheap.

Family owned, always friendly and fast. Nothing fancy, but hits the spot ever time. Pan fried dumplings are a fav!

Great food at an affordable price! My wife and I order from here all the time! My wife likes the lo mein I'm a fan of the Mongolian Beef and the Chicken Egg Foo Young We also always order a large Beef Fried Rice! read more

These guys never let me down. Not an eat-in place necessarily. You can though no real decor but great service and great food and spectacular price. Great, dependable Western-style Chinese place. Your standards are spot on and they're always cooking. Secret spot, great lunch menu and the egg rolls are crispy and don't taste too corn-starchy like they usually do. Only place whose egg rolls I like. Crab Rangoon was good. Egg foo young was good. Favorite is Kung Pao chicken. Was not impressed at all by Mongolian beef but sweet and sour pork, chicken fried rice. Everyone I've taken loves it. These guys rock. I like them so much that I've been disappointed probably three times minimum when I am craving Wing Chong and they're closed. read more

I have lived within two blocks of this place for the last 4 years and tried it for the first time tonight. Don't let the dated exterior fool you, the food was shockingly good. We ordered the Ma Po Tofu, Moo Shu Chicken, Tofu Vegetables with Garlic Sauce, Orange Chicken, Hot and Sour Soup, Crab Rangoon, and side of veggies in oyster sauce. Each dish was better than the last, I couldn't believe it. The food was really, really good. The prices are also super reasonable. I can't wait to order from here again! read more

This is a place I have passed numerous times. But never gave it a second thought. My neighbor invited us for lunch on her patio one day and suggested we order from here. We ordered the lunch special. Wow. The prices are so inexpensive and the amount of food is plentiful. The food was hot, very good and fresh( broccoli and veggies very crunchy not soggy from overcooking) Since then, we have ordered numerous other times. Food is always hot and very good. We have tried a few dishes and they are all very good. I like that they use non fatty white meat chicken for their chicken dishes. read more

I've lived so close to here for so long and I can't believe I just tried it. Super good food and service as well! I had the BBQ pork fried rice and wonton soup! I'll definitely be back again soon. read more

One of the best in the area. I live nearby; walking distance in fact. I generally get a chicken or beef dish with fried rice. I haven't had the food disappoint yet. This food is very good compared to other Chinese fast food in the area. You aren't getting a fancy, gourmet meal, but you are getting good quality at a reasonable price. read more

The food is good. Prices are reasonable and portions adequate. The dishes I've had there were all tasty, prepared in a timely fashion. There was enough each time for leftovers. Service was indifferent. The waitress was not friendly. However, she brought the food when it was ready, didn't keep me waiting for it. The atmosphere was dismal. The place is rather dark. It's not kept clean. The floor and tables are dirty. The good news is that the kitchen is visible through windows, so you can see that they're not getting too dirty back there. Still, I would prefer if they'd make a better effort at cleaning. This is the sort of place that I'd go if I were hungry and happened to be in the neighborhood. It's not one that I'd travel any great distance to visit. It's just not that good. read more

I love the food what can I say. I have never been disjointed. I have ordered the Kung Pao Chicken, Mongolian Beef, Chicken Almond Din, pot stickers, egg rolls and all really was so good. This place may look a little plain / dated on the outside but the food is first rate. The staff is friendly and courteous. read more

I've been in a Chinese food funk for a couple of years. I have been going to the same 2 or 3 restaurants for about 4 years whenever I wanted take out. It dawned on me recently that the food wasn't very good. I really wanted tasty Chinese that was close by and cheap. Well, I found it. I live about 4 blocks from Wing Chong and have passed it many times over the years. However, I never even considered it based on the looks of it. It just looks scary - salmonella scary - from the outside. When I walked in to order, I didn't feel any better. It was kinda like I was walking into someone's unfinished basement; tile floors sort of lopsided, institutional-ish lighting, drab colors, a couple of booths that were worn. This is definitely not somewhere you'd want to dine-in. But, it did strike me as very clean, so I went ahead and ordered. I ordered some egg rolls, chicken fried rice, kung pao (spelling?) chicken, chicken chop suey, and beef and broccoli. All together it was $23. Not bad! I took a seat and the food was ready in about 15 minutes. Let me tell you, this food was delicious! I personally ate some chicken fried rice and the beef and broccoli. The chicken fried rice was moist, tasty, and had a ton of tender chicken all throughout the container (not just on the top). The beef and broccoli just might be the best I ever had. Tons of fresh, perfectly cooked, bright green broccoli and extremely tender beef in the perfect amount of sauce. We ordered last night and just heated up some leftovers for lunch. It was just as good today as it was last night. I definitely recommend this hole in the wall! read more

After walking into the restaurant and scanning around, I was afraid that I'd just made a big mistake. There are random pieces of furniture that looks like they were from decades ago, such as a baby's high chair in a retro 90s pastel color, a oversized silver coat rack, a CRT TV, etc - you get the gist. I suppose they were handy items in theory, but it just looked out of place, greeting you just as you walked in the door. However, my fears were unfounded as the food was excellent. I ordered chicken chow mein, and it was perfectly crispy, accompanied by variety of vegetables, and the flavor was on-point! While I would probably never eat in, Wing Chong is excellent take-out and/or delivery. read more

This place is the bee's knees, but make sure you carry out, or take advantage of their delivery (with $10 minimum order)- the dining room isn't exactly glamourous- or even acceptable, really. But the food... Damn, you gotta get their pan fried dumplings (be careful, they spit!) And their orange chicken is uhMAAYzing- the closest I've tasted to my favorite orange chicken sauce, Big Bowl. Communication with phone ordering is a breeze, if you get what I'm saying and their prices are really reasonable as well. Open late too-- 9:30 on Sunday and 10:00 on Friday and Saturday. 5 big ones from me? You bet. read more

I have to admit... I've never actually been in Wing Chong. I live about a block away and order deliver every now and then. I had it last night and the leftovers are sitting in my fridge waiting for me to come home and devourer them! I've ordered from a few different places in the area and this is by far my favorite Chinese place that delivers to my house. They have the best food, they are always quicker than the time they quote me, and they deliver guy is so nice. I always ALWAYS get the pan fried dumplings to start. They are steaming hot and perfectly cooked. I am always tempted to get two orders of them and only eat that, but man cannot live on dumplings alone! (or woman in this case.) Last night I had the General Tso chicken as I do every time I order. It's General Tso plus one other dish. It's always spicy and the chicken is perfectly cooked. My tip, dump the container into a bowl or something. They put veggies in first, and the chicken in last. If you just scoop out of the container, you'll just get the chicken and miss the wonderful mix of mushrooms, peppers, and other veggies they put in there. Plus then you'll have a bowl full of veggies for leftovers with no chicken. Always gotta plan the leftovers! I also had the Pork Vegetables with Garlic Sauce. Perfectly cooked pieces of what seem to be roasted pork with veggies that still had a crunch to them in a nice spicy sauce. Loved it. It was a first for me but definitely won't be the last. Over the years I've sampled a few of their dishes. Their beef and broccoli is up there with my mom's (I'm half Asian so I'm not making that up!) The fried rice is all good. I usually end up getting the pork fried rice. The lo Mein is Cantonese style which is sorta strange to me... It was sorta Ramen type noodles which I've notice at a few places here in Chicago. I'm not a fan so I'll stick to the other dishes. The sweet and sour pork was perfectly crispy with a huge container of sauce on the side. Kung pao? Yes please! Hot and Sour Soup is one of my favorites. Sometimes I order it and save it for the next day. It's so good and full of veggies and things, unlike some places that mainly give you broth. When I want chinese food and don't want to get out of my PJs... Wing Chong is it! read more

Cheap Chinese food and yes it's good! I'm sure everyone has their favorite quick fix chinese food joint. Well mine is Wing Chong. I found them from their reviews on Yelp and yes it does live to the hype of reasonably priced yummy chinese food. They have daily lunch specials starting at a little over 2 dollars and change!! You can't beat that! Their portions are also generous. I have to reiterate, I don't buy it because it's cheap, but because their food and level of service is great. I've tried most items on their menu and they never fail to deliver in terms of taste and cost. Their food is consistently fast. I've never had to wait longer than 10-15 minutes either for dine-in or take-out! It's also consistently good. I too have tried from many other Chinese food take-out places in the area. None of them have I returned to except for Wing Chong. Granted, they are no P.F. Changs nor did they ever intend to be, if you want quick and reasonably priced Chinese food, look no further, Wing Chong does deliver (both literally and figuratively speaking). Try the egg rolls, crab rangoon, fried rice, kung-pao anything, foo young, shrimp with lobster sauce (the shrimps are big and not overcooked), you will not go wrong! read more

This place is amazing! I have never been disappointed with the food. I would recommend getting takeout or delivery over eating there because the restaurant is in need of some updating (old tables and chairs, a basically empty fish tank, faded linoleum floor). Don't be deterred by the decor though, this place is a pearl in oyster shell. You get copious amounts of food for the money you pay and it's always fresh. read more

Four stars!!! Oh yelp you have done me wrong for the very first time!! My son and I wanted Chinese food and were excited. I ordered 30 bucks worth of food, I threw it ALL away, and if you know me you'll know I'm not one to waste food, ESPECIALLY of the Asian variety. I was so upset. I facebooked my woes, waited a WEEK and am still pissed! I wanted quality Chinese and got garbage, not even quality garbage! The crab Rangoon tasted curdled (cream cheese), egg roll was a greasy mess, I don't even remember the beef and chicken concoctions I ordered but oh Buddha knows it was horrendous! Not even my son who is NOT picky about his Chinese (what 8 year old is?) would finish it. WHERE, pray tell, are the rest of you eating??? Be warned my fellow yelpers! These four stars are misleading and will point you due south!! read more

Not sure how this place got good reviews.... price is cheap but food isn't the greatest at taste. Noodles are to soggy and egg roll is mushy. Had to ask for water and the lady brings it stating "NO GUEST BATHROOM OKAY " wow ! That made us laugh thumbs up on comedy read more

Damn, I almost forgot about this place. This place rules the school. Really nice people and very good food. At one point I ate here so much I had their phone number committed to memory. There ain't much in this 'hood, but I will recommend this place. read more

Great neighborhood chinese food. We order from here almost weekly and the food is always great and consistently delicious. The owners are nice and friendly. They have awesome crab rangoon and teriyaki beef sticks. Other favorites of ours are the Mongolian beef and Hong sue shrimp. Pretty much everything have is delish. Love this place. read more

Great food at a good price! No frills just good chinese food with quick service to get you in and out the door fast. The eggrolls are the best. read more

Wing Chong is your quintessential hole in the wall Chinese restaurant. While I don't recommend dining in (the linoleum floor and stiff chairs are a nod to their cafeteria style decor), take out and delivery are great options for this restaurant. This place is outside of Chinatown and Argyle street so you won't see much duck on the menu - or in their windows - but their menu is large and they have most of the dishes you'd crave. The food is cheap and comes in huge portions. Three cheers for Chinese leftovers, yum! Even a small goes a long way. The food itself is pretty good. Not great, but definitely better than average and way less greasy than many other Chinese restaurants in the area. Some of my faves are the egg rolls, wanton soup, and their General Tso's chicken, which is not overly sticky and has the perfect amount of spice. Their beef dishes aren't the best, so stick with Chicken and you'll be happy. read more

This one was tricky because I have friends, one of which is a chef, that just love this place. I found the food to be good when I tried it. The issues came when I stepped in the door and saw the filth. Now I will say that they have made some effort over the past year to do some painting and cleaning, but it is still pretty bad. I found information on the City of Chicago website that supported my hunch that all parts of the restaurant might be in the same condition. If you choose to dine in you should also be prepared for there to be one very overwhelmed woman taking care of the dining room. The dining room only seats like 26 at most and I have never seen more than 8 people in there at a time, but she runs around as if she were waiting on 100 customers. She is nice, but very short with guests and has little table-side manner. I just can't recommend a place that can't keep a clean dining area and kitchen. It is sad that they can make good food, bu tare hurting themselves with their housekeeping. read more

Since I moved down the street from this place, we order from here close to once a week. YUM! And you would never know it from the outside. It is family run and small. The woman at the register is very friendly and fast. The food is almost always really good AND CHEAP! I get the Kung Pao with Tofu and it is excellent. The crab rangoon is addictive and the beef teriyaki sticks are awesome. My daughter gets their shrimp with brocolli and they always cook the shrimp perfectly. My husband likes their curries, and he says they rock. I only had one bad meal and I had ordered their Shrimp Egg Foo Young-which typically is really good, and the bottoms of the patties were burned. I was pretty bummed. But that only happened once. For the money, it is a pretty good, hearty chinese option. read more

Good, cheap, fast delivery and right around the corner. We like the crab rangoons and General Tso Chicken. Will continue to explore this place's menu and maybe try and eat in one days soon. read more

Great prices for lunch special. Food is ok. My biggest problem is that they never seem to be open during their posted business hours. I have called to place an order several times with no answer. read more

I've had Chinese food literally all over the map. This place has legitimately some of the most delicious food I've ever has. Fast and very inexpensive too. Love love love it. read more

Great for take out cheese food in the neighborhood. Always fast and polite. Even give me extra and always follow dietary restrictions. Love this place. read more

Was in need of some Chinese food on Friday night and enlisted the help of the yelp community. Wing Chong was what I came up with and I was very pleased. Ordered the Hunan Chicken for delivery and was impressed. The egg rolls were fantastic, reminded me of those from the House of Hunan in Lincoln Park. The main entree was great, I was happy that Wing Chong didn't shy away from adding a little spice. I hate it when places hold back. The chicken was definitely the highlight of the dish and the accompanying vegetables complimented it nicely. Delivery was fast and overall price was just right. I'll be calling Wing Chong again next time I'm in need of some Chinese. read more

My husband and I just moved to the city a few months back and last night we were hankering for some tasty Chinese takeout. This was our first night ordering Chinese takeout and I was depending on Yelp to help a sister out. Unfortunately this restaurant didn't live up to Yelp's four star rating. The food was just okay and seemed to be lacking flavor. We ordered the wonton soup, egg rolls and the sweet and sour chicken. I enjoyed the soup and egg roll more than the entree but not by much. From a service standpoint the food was ready when I arrived, reasonably priced and the staff courteous. Based on this experience I would not return. read more

Ok it has been almost 2 years since I ordered and here we go again, 2 hours for delivery??? Then they do not answer the phone when you call to find out where the food disappeared to? Stay away from this place, no stars if possible, food arrived cold, did not offer any type of compensation, disappointed once more, I am calling quits with this place, NEVER AGAIN! Would also add when I went over there to talk to a manager I noticed how filthy the floor was throughout the place, along with the walls and counters, makes me wonder how the health department is allowing this place to remain open. read more

I have to give them an extra star, because they provide awesome customer service. The only thing i have to do is call saying i wan to place an order for delivery and they know what I want and where I'm located....all by just my voice! Love it! read more

Being new to Irving Park, I decided to try out different Chinese restaurants. Wing Chong was a big disappointment. First, I called and was abruptly put on hold for a few minutes. But that wasn't my main gripe. The delivery guy came here and gave me a pencil to sign my credit card receipt with, which seemed a little sketchy. Worst of all, the food was awful... extremely salty, to the point where I didn't even want to eat it. The portions were really, really small too. (Perhaps good since the food was inedible) I'd recommend Mayflower... good prices, good food and even their small portions last me three meals. read more
