This is a standard subpar neighborhood Chinese joint - 2 stars. I've driven by this place literally hundreds of times and I finally tried them out tonight. Unfortunately, it was as bad as I feared. It's just another substandard Chinese place that seems to proliferate in every neighborhood and every community in Minnesota. It's almost like they all follow the same formula...a bad formula. Wong's "Gourmet" is strictly pickup and delivery. They have their own delivery staff. There are a few chairs for waiting but no dining area. You can see this used to be a sit-down joint but the dining room on the right side is now a dark storage area. Kinda tacky. A room divider or a curtain might makes things look a little more professional. And the big light-up menu behind the counter is a vintage leftover from a previous life with fading lights, no prices, and old menu items. Again, tacky. The menu is just a thing glued to the wall by the register. If you're smart, this is the time you might want to run away. Just as I predicted, this place dishes out lots of overcooked food with low grade ingredients. Everything is overcooked to death. All the nice bright greens, reds, yellows, whites you normally see in fresh veggies are l-o-n-g gone. The greens are all faded green, soft, and overcooked. My beef was really chewy and rubbery, obviously low grade meat. I always like to check-out the beef dishes. I love good beef but it's also a good indicator of what's going on with the recipes, the food quality, and the cooking skills...or lack thereof. My Hot Sour Soup was lame and disappointing. My traditional style Egg Rolls were okay, I guess. They're about 1/3 smaller than normal egg rolls. (But then again, they give you 3 of them.) And finally, my Hot Spicy Beef was also disappointing. It was overcooked with rubbery beef cuts. It wasn't hot or spicy either. I detected some red hot pepper specks here & there but I definitely couldn't taste any of them. If I see the red hot pepper warning symbol on the menu, I definitely want some real actual heat & flavor, please! Come on, what's the problem? The best I can say about Wong's Gormet is the food is cheap, it's made quickly, and it comes out piping hot. It might be a nice change for a family on a budget that's tired of fast food burgers and pizza. But personally, I'd rather go for a Big Mac or a Domino's Pizza instead of this stuff. Technically, it might not be as healthy but it definitely tastes better. BTW, if you want some good Asian food nearby, there are several EXCELLENT options within a 5 or 10 minute drive on Central Avenue and University Avenue. There are also a couple of decent buffets. Checkout Yelp and sort for "Highest Rated" - the Yelp reviewers won't let you down. I won't be visiting this one again. Next... -Maxx

Northern Kitchen - Mapo tofu, pork belly and spicy beef stir fry- good flavors

This is a fantastic little Chinese restaurant off the beaten path! We stopped by for dinner on a…read moreWednesday evening, and were the only diners at the time - a shame, since the food was incredible! The waitress was nice, and very prompt with service. We had sesame balls as an appetizer, and several dishes for the table. Everything was extremely delicious and served super hot and fast. The table favorite was the cumin lamb, definitely try that if you stop by! Family friendly, they had high chairs and were welcoming of our little one. Come support this little restaurant and enjoy some incredible Asian food!

I wanted something spicy Chinese and gave this place a shot. Spoiler alert, it wasn't but I also…read morehave a pretty high tolerance, and we are in Minnesota (no shade). I ordered the Stir Fry Spicy Beef, Mapo Tofu, and the Pork Belly. Everything was tasty and have no complaints as far as the actual flavors. I do think that the Mapo Tofu should always be soft tofu rather than firm, but that's just a personal preference. The beef was plentiful and extra tender and the pork belly was perfectly melt-in-your-mouth, so good that I felt like I had to ration it throughout the next few meals. I do wish it came with more rice. I ordered three sides and only got one box of rice. I was hoping to have at least two so I can eat it for several days. However, to end on a positive note, when I walked in to pick up my order, the woman (owner possibly) was incredibly friendly and spoke Mandarin to me. She was welcoming, funny, and we briefly argued how spicy food should really be for it to be enjoyable. "The spicier the better," me thinks. Come show these guys some love!

Thinly sliced raw fatty beef, dipped into a simmering bowl of Szechuan spicy broth (both pepper and…read moremala spice)... I swirl it for 10 seconds or so then let it rest on my sauce of choice - sesame paste sauce, or chili garlic oil sauce. I'll eat it, along with noodle or rice, a qail egg perhaps. My mouth explodes with flavor. Every time. Hot pot, hot pot. In my gastronomical journey through life, Chinese hot pot is possibly my greatest encounter. And locally, it's Le Pot. Best broth bases - mala spicy, pork bone, and Tom yum are endorsed by me and my girlfriend Great foodstuffs - qual egg, udon noodles, good fatty beef, crab sticks, good old cabbage, tofu, bean curd, enoki mushroom etc - Lamb and pork are alright at this location, could be better Great sauce bar, as I can assemble my staples - Sauce 1: black vinegar, chili oil with flake, garlic oil with garlic, sesame oil, scallions, cilantro (about equal parts and adjust); season with sugar, salt and soy sauce if desired - Sauce 2: lots of sesame paste, and leave as is or maybe add scallions, chili oil, sesame seed **I do wish they had chive paste** - Sauce 3: Oyster sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, cilantro, green onion, black vinegar Value - it's like 30-35 dollars a person here. - I often leave more satisfied here than I do after a "fancy" night on the north loop What's missing - ambiance is okay - I do like a huge communal pot - Chive flower paste - Pork and lamb could be better - Broths are good, but I like the Chicago restaurants best Local hot pot honorable mentions - the place at Asia Mall with the electric rack innovation - Legendary Spice - you are free to grab a tray and raid their fridges/freezers for whatever meat, vegetable, etc you want. But the borth wasn't as good. Overall, it's rather expensive but quality is in some ways lower than Le Pot. - J Pot - Korean bbq and hot pot. The Chinese flavors were not as authentic, broths not as good to me, but wow having Korean bbq and hot pot at the same time! It's a decent value too.

Can't hurt to have AYCE hot pot added to the food scene. Individual sized pots here, order…read moreeverything through your server, and they have a wide selection including tripe and pork intestine. Service was good but uneven, the ambiance was decidedly no-frills, down to the high ceilings and pseudo-industrial vibe of the building. 3.5 stars seems reasonable, not sure if I should round up or down.
