I love chinese food and Wing Wahs is probably one of my favorites. Now they're menu isn't too innovative or fancy or anything like that. But they do have this regions best Wonton Soup!! Large wontons made of delicately thin homemade eggnoodle pasta wrapped around a pork and shrimp mixture. It's in the traditional broth with scallions and shredded bok choy. Its amazing. Dont forget the hot oil! Its fresh. Its a vibrant red, not a muted brownish red like other chinese restarunts. Add some of the hot oil to the soup and trust me, you'll forget where you are. So yea, get the Wonton Soup! It's awesome. Also it's family owned and if you go often enough, you'll be lucky enough to get to know them. And they'll get to know your "usual". read more

I consult yelp reviews frequently, and write my own when I am either pleased or disappointed in a dining experience. I must say my wife and I were pleased with our Wing Wah Restaurant experience. The other reviews are accurate; the restaurant is located on a stretch of US 20 dotted with ruins, strip clubs and heavy industry. Don't be put off by the location! What you are going to get here is plentiful, tasty, inexpensive Chinese food. Chinese owned, Chinese operated, and Chinese staffed (kitchen too). It always gives me confidence when an ethnic place is staffed by those with the same heritage. Lots of choices on the menu. We ordered the Family Meal for two ($19.95) and got plenty of food. Actually we have enough left overs for a good sized lunch tomorrow. The meal came with a bowl of egg flower soup (probably the most mediocre thing we had...it was ok, not great), an appetizer plate for each of us which had an eggroll, a piece of foil wrapped boneless chicken, and a full pork rib. Nicely cooked, fresh, with flavors of five-spice powder. We both felt almost full after the soup and appetizer! Next came sweet and sour pork, beef chop suey and chicken fried rice. Nothing earthshaking...just good quality, hot, tasty and plentiful food. This plus a Tsingtao beer came to $25.00. YES, they serve beer and wine. Thanks Wing Wah. I will definitely be back! Especially since I only live about five minutes away. :) read more

They have great Chinese food. Love the shrimp kow chicken kow shrimp fried rice and shrimp egg foo young. They have lunch specials and daily specials too. We love the Singapore chow mein noodles so delicious and shrimp with tomatoes and peppers. All the food is good and they have fried chicken wings and bbq ribs yum! read more

Wing Wah Chinese food has been around for a long time. Owners are real nice down to earth folks. My husband and I get carry out or eat in 2-3 times per week. Love the smoothies and lunch specials. read more

This place used to be absolutely phenomenal, and then 1 day about a decade ago or so I think they switched owners. Maybe even wholesalers, but the end result was a unhappy customer. My entire life I would eat at this place a few times a month and love it every time. Then all of a sudden the dishes started to taste "off"!! The crab ragoon had no crab bits in it anymore just dough and cream cheese. Rice seemed not as flaky anymore... Basically anything I ordered just seemed "off"! So I stopped visiting! read more

WHENEVER I pass through Gary, IN I ALWAYS stop at the Wing Wah for a meal. I have been a Wing Wah customer for 3 1/2 years. The food is always great - the best Chinese I've had in the country. In my current and a past job I've traveled the lower 48 states. My favorites at the Wing Wah are the Hot and Sour Soup and the Kung Po Shrimp. The soup is loaded with generous portions of mushrooms, tofu, meat, and vegetables. The price is incredibly reasonable for a quart serving (most of the time I have to order carry out because of my schedule). Most places skimp on the ingredients - not Wing Wah. The Kung Po Shrimp is the BEST I've ever had. Once again, all the components in the Kung Po Shrimp are in very generous portions. The best part is the shrimp, they aren't the WIMPY shrimp and only a few that most places give you. These are large, plump shrimp. I've NEVER had problem with the service, sometimes the language barrier gets in the way, but a little patience and humor will get you past that. I only speak two languages, English and Bad English. When all else fails you can always point or motion and that usually works. I've learned the less English a place speaks the better the food. Wing Wah may not look like a fancy Chinese Restaurant, but it has excellent food. read more

Bad customer service! The cashier did not want to answer any of my questions about their soups anyways I ordered the dumpling soup it was hot but bland...I ask the cashier if I could get the hard noodles in which I thought came with the soup most Chinese Restaurants give you those noodles for free nope not this one paid $1.40 I asked her why I had to pay no answer ok as I sat waiting on my order the cashier and one her co-worker that was sitting at the table begain speaking in their language which I thought was rude I would not go back agan. read more

I'm kinda thinking that Lea needs a laxative or some relaxation techniques. Wing Wah will never win any awards but it offers up really good and dependable Cantonese "specialties" for a good price. Not sure what Lea is talking about regarding portions, but I usually bitch b/c the cartons are so over filled that they ooze onto my counter. We're in Miller Beach for Christ's sake so Charlie Trotter is not likely planning on swinging past and serving up dinner. By all means go to Wing Wah for as lazy Friday or Saturday dinner. Wing Wah is a good, dependable, reasonably priced place close to home. Check em out. read more

Among the strip clubs, adult book stores, and truck stops located along U.S. 20 in Gary, there sits a gem known as Wing Wah's Chinese Restaurant. Growing up in Miller Beach, and even after I moved to Crown Point, my family was eating here at least once a week. They get the majority of their business on the carry-out side of things, but it is also a very nice place to have a sit down meal. The staff is very friendly and the genuinely appreciate your business. And don't let the sketchy neighborhood deter you from coming here...if you come any time during the evening hours I guarantee that there will be at least two Gary police officers here having dinner! :) read more

Terrible! We ordered vegetarian noodles and vegetarian eggrolls. The personnel are well aware we do not eat meat because we have gone there many times (never again)! Got the carry-out home to discover they had smeared shrimp all over my food. The shrimp smelled like feces, so I don't know if it was fresh, but it seemed like, at best, it was scraped off the bottom of a tugboat that had been sitting in stagnant water for months, then keistered for a nice marinade. So, basically, they served me Santorum. It was so bad that I would not feed it to my cats and dog, which is what I usually do when someone makes an honest mistake and serves me meat. Checking the receipt, they charged us for the shrimp dish, $3.00 more than my real order. When my husband called to alert them to the problem, they began screaming, "NO REFUND." This was apparently the only words the person on the phone knows--there was no attempt to problem-solve whatsover. My husband took the food back and insisted on some solution. They would not refund the money, and were actually delusional enough to want him to take a "store credit" (pretty ignorant to think we were ever going to be back in light of their behavior). Finally, they gave him $11.00 "worth" (retail) of vegetarian eggrolls. No one can eat that many eggrolls, and I still had no entree. They have a crudley-lettered sign some village idiot appears to have done for them in 1970 that proclaims "No refunds," and they like to point their illiterate fingers at it. Apparently, their combined legal acumen has convinced them this sign is legally binding. The moron with whom my husband spoke was utterly unable/unwilling to distinguish between a "refund" and correcting one's error--and I do not think it was a bona fide error. Based on the many similar reviews I have read, I have decided they are intentionally overcharging customers by substituting more expensive dishes than were ordered and insisting people pay for them. They are making a forture off the unsuspecting public a nickel here, $3 there. This is an abysmal hellhole seething with deception and chicanery. They could choose to offer quality food at honest prices; unfortunatley, they have eschewed that path. read more

Food Was ok! I have eat better fried rice in my life, the prices ok too, but what I don't tolerate it's that they added their "15 % tip" on the total amount, without even telling anyone about it! What if they just give me the option to do it on my own! I must stated that I don't have anything against tip at all, I even give more than 20 %! sometimes double the check! When the servers are nice. They weren't on my opinion. read more

Solid Chinese food. What makes this place stand out, however, is the atmosphere. It feels like being in a David Lynch movie. Visit and find out why. read more

I started going to Wing Wah when I was ten years old and, after moving to Indianapolis, was super bummed as I couldn't find one Chinese place here that makes crab Rangoon, kung po beef or pork chop suey the way Wing Wah does. I was visiting this weekend so in my way out of town I called in my order for fine cut pork chop suey and extra white rice and threw in a bag of Winnie's fortune cookies for dessert. I love this place, the food is always excellent, my single negative is the girl who answers the phone, she was very nice and polite but she didn't speak English well and it was difficult to understand her read more

Orange chicken was good.....food was done in 5 minutes so I have to question that.....they didn't give us white rice with our order...everything was extra and the portions were small compared to other restaurants that all serve the same thing......other than that the food was good. It came out hot and fresh. read more

Very surprised how good the food and service was. Best kept secret in Gary cuisine. I will go here again.

They don't know how to cook. I ordered chicken with veggies and it was really bad and bland.

Desperate is not even a good enough reason to eat here. Their egg rolls hold more grease than a carafe of oil. I thought "how bad could this be?" when I went in and found it hard to keep the contents in my stomach by the time I left. I don't know where the people that reviewed the food here ate Chinese food before, but, wow. People were nice at least. read more

Not so great. Had carry out tonight Governor's Chicken Soggy not crispy no spice at all like mcnuggets. Egg roll like from frozen section supermarket. This place was good 10 years ago not so much tonight. read more

This is the best place in Miller Beach to get Chinese food! Carry out or dine-in. The food is always fresh and served hot. Service is friendly with a smile and a happy to see you. The daily steak special is awesome! Can't beat the serving sizes for the price - give it a try - you won't be disappointed. If you're local you'll see someone you know. Kid-friendly, great high chairs. read more

There is a saying that the worse the neighborhood, the better the Chinese food. The person that coined that phrase must have done so at Wing Wah. The food is delicious and the portions are superhuman. The price is very nice. read more

This place is a real dump, lots of dust and the cleanliness has to be brought into question. However, I was so hungry I would have eaten my arm, passed up a Ponderosa and settled on Wing Wah. The food came in a large portion and was very reasonable priced. I thought the overall quality of the food was great. If it had been served in a cleaner restaurant I would have given this place a 5 star. read more

Probably one of the best Chinese restaurants in northwest Indiana. I've been coming here since I was a child, this has always been one of our favorites. The location may not be as desirable as you would like it to be, but the service is fantastic and the food is great. read more

Best Chinese food we have found in Northwest Indiana. Restaurant is simple, not fancy or uptight, and at least when we were there was quite clean. Service was friendly. Food was excellent. Will definitely go again. read more

I love this place. There are a couple places that are comparable but not quite. The family that runs it are good people and their portions are HUGE!!! It is good food also. The only bad thing is their egg rolls are not that crispy any more. But everything else makes up for it!!!! read more

Been here a good couple of times, wasn't a huge fan of their orange chicken but I absolutely love their fried rice. Coming back in the near future. read more

I always get delivery and the good is relatively good if you get what you ordered. There is a very aggravating language barrier so you must repeat your order an abundant amount of times. Delivery people are wonderful and extra polite. They always call before arrival. Always have to check my order upon receipt , especially for condiments. Over all good! read more

Solid Chinese food. Had almond beef and shrimp kung poa and both were pretty good. I got the food as take-out but the dining room was clean and looked like a nice place to eat. read more

The only thing I've had from here that was good was the wing wah lo mein. I've tried the egg rolls and they were very greasy. The fried rice was quite bland. read more

As always great food. Found this gem 4 years ago and make it a point of stopping every time i pass through. House lo mein is awesome. CLEAN every time i come through. Come in get some tea and just relax. Awesome food. read more

I have been ordering from this restaurant for many years working in Gary and have recommended it to many people. I order the same lunch meal every time and have been satisfied. However, the sweet & sour chicken I ordered today was really disgusting. There were veins, cartilage and black areas in all of the chicken pieces but two of them. I could not eat my lunch. We just called to tell the restaurant and they expected us to bring the container back to them. We are at work. We can't just leave again to return bad food that was served to us. We were then told to keep it in the refrigerator until we do go back. We do not eat at this restaurant every day and therefore it's not easy to just bring back my disgusting meal that has been stored in the refrigerator. I will not be going back! read more

MAYHEM at the Wing Wha in Nuneaton, well I was there last month and the young manager there lost control with a couple that were DISABLED OAP'S All they that they wanted to sit near the table of food were they always sit, as there condition's for both of them is not very good for moving around or walking, but the young manager there wanted to keep every one around the edge of the restrant and keep the centre clear, there was plenty of space's near the table of food with no reserves on them, the man sat in his normal spot waiting for her to sit with him but the manager was being rude to his partner and stopping her from sitting down, then her partner came over to see what was going on, but the manager was out of control already and it all then got worse, in the end all the staff (4) had to re-frame the young manager several times (7) from wanting to fight and hit the OAP mail that had Fibromyalgia (his partner had just had a heart attack a month before), the manager there was trying to antagonize him so much to have a fight it was unreal and disgusting and not to mention the uncomfortable behaviour and in front of children and others, and so disheartening as this was a place that they used to enjoy and look forward to, I've seen them come hear for a long time now and would never go back unless the manager there was completely removed from his employment there, far more people deserve his job there and not Him, I hope he is sacked and this matter go's on his CV so he never gets another job dealing with customers or old people. food was good tho, read more

I expect to see an automatic gratuity added for large parties, nearly all restaurants do that. But a mandatory 18% tip on every check, regardless of party size? NO. Granted, I'm all for tipping good service and tend to lean more toward 20% rather than 15%, but that is my choice. Demand it, and I'll take my business elsewhere. read more

I like Wing Wah's food. I'll keep going back. But I have always noticed that the persons working the cashier station are not very friendly. Not mean or rude, but just a little short. I probably would not have noticed it at all except there is a marked difference between how customers are handled at the register for take outs versus how these same people interact with folks I categorize as "regulars," particularly those who dine in. There could be some improvement there, more cordiality or pleasantness. read more

Solid Chinese! Don't let the deserted strip mall scare you off. The place is very clean and so is the bathroom, Friendly people.

I hate to write this review because our family has ordered food from this restaurant for over 30 years. The food is not as good as it used to be and they don't seem to care. I ordered some carryout shrimp lo mein but when I got home I discovered it was shrimp chop suey with some ramen noodles thrown in plus they overcharged me. When I called to tell them about the error the owner told me that what they gave me was their version of shrimp lo mein. My issue was that I have eaten inside the restaurant and ordered shrimp lo mein and this was not the same dish. The problem I had was not the error in the order because that happens sometimes but they gave me something that they just threw together and then lied about it to cover it up. Other family members have told me that the food quality was not the same and I defended them. Well I guess I was wrong for trying to be loyal. The food is not bad all the time but eat there at your own risk. read more

My mom has been eating here for the last 20 years, I started about 10 years ago. We love the food, my kids love the food and are always asking to go to WING WAH! The service may not come off as super friendly at first but the waitress is very nice. When ever I go and I don't have my children she always ask how they'er doing. They know us in there. The food portions are large and filing. I have no complaints. I do like the Mongolian Beef, egg rolls, and chicken rice soup also. My kids love the orange chicken and they have the best tea on the planet! read more
