Macho nachos Shrimp and cod tacos
Chelsea S.

THE BEST nachos! I Have ordered them in restaurant and to go and always delish! Ri ordered with Brussel sprouts as the protein and they were an amazing touch

Eggrolls, Brisket Bao, Loaded Queso Fundido
Morgan S.

Margaritas were good, service was fine. Food was reasonably priced. Interesting concept. Our favorite dish was the eggrolls. Meat in the brisket bao was dry and tough to chew. Restaurant was clean so that is a plus. Patio area is nice. Busy, seems to be an influx of customers since crooked hammock opened across the street.

Masters weather is here
Lex M.

It was a Friday afternoon after intense pain which landed me in Fast Med urgent care. shot Thursday late evening gave me relief to drop in for my fav nachos at Wongs. Normally I only eat chicken breast but the braised chicken thighs here are so full of slow braised flavor no sinue bones etc just pure goodness. The Masters was on smarttvs weather was positively perfect for al fresco or dining inside which I did. My server was prompt and very accommodating. Starting first with Blanco and Jerk tacos plus side of guacamole. Tea was exceptionally good fresh not had great tea since Persimmons its crazy that as southern as NC foodie roots are something so simple can be make or break when dining. My tacos arrived quickly very well plated and as always full portions and flavors for palate. The crunch profile in each elevated by tender moist meats and well prepared tortillas. A sheer of guacamole seals deal for perfect bite of fusion of Mex-Asian. I decided to order the chorizo egg rolls at end in to go container knowing I couldn't eat them all. Another filing flavorful visit!

Let's see what can I say about WT.... Its a Mexican Asian fusion joint that tries to mix it up a lil bit. First its a secluded area behind Crabtree Mall in a new area so kind of an anchor for the new complex .. Plenty of parking which is a plus ! Love the wall paper in here .. kinda want it for my own little hideout ;-) Servers and host were nice and attentive . Bar is pretty massive and fully stocked. Now onto the food .. Food was not bad .. I had the soft shell crab tacos which were delicious but could use a lil more flavor or spice to kick it up a notch. The black pepper chicken skillet was mehhh lacked alot of flavor and seasoning, tried squeezing a bunch of limes and adding some sauces didnt help it much which sucked... had high expectations for it .. even asked for more sauce for it since it was very dry. The mexicanesse fried rice was pretty good .. had alot of flavor to it . The shrooms tacos weren't bad either.. I think this place has potential ut definitely needs to up its flavor game to make it in this area. Concept is cool but needs to be better executed

House of the Ricing Sun cocktail.

I came here on a Friday night for the first time and it was fairly empty. I came across it on Yelp when looking for a place to enjoy dinner. I was excited to try the Asian-Mexican fusion concept as I enjoy trying new things and fusion concepts appeal to me. Pros: Would be good for a larger party since it was plenty of seating with no wait. Food came out FAST. Prices not bad at all. Sides were under $5 and tacos mostly too and cocktails around $10. Cons: The cocktail I got was awful. It had boba in it, but they don't give you a boba straw to get it out. It tasted bland and watered down. I couldn't drink it. The food was just ok. The shrimp tempura taco lacked flavor and the brisket in the bao bun wasn't tender. However, the street corn was good and the grilled pineapple was a very welcomed side on the menu and tasted good. The booths aren't very comfortable and the music is a bit loud, but not off putting; you could still carry on a conversation. If you're looking for a quick/easy place to grab a decent priced meal, I say go for it and I hope they improve with time. However, I think the location will make it difficult to survive unless they really get better at executing and develop a real following, and that means the food has to be excellent.

Three Amigos
Lori R.

We decided to try this new fusion restaurant. Went on a Saturday afternoon at what we thought was an off time, but they were still doing a good business. They have indoor and outdoor seating. We chose in. We were seated with one of us on a half booth and the other in a chair. Not the most comfy, but it was fine. Menu has a lot of interesting items to choose from, but it is difficult to find ones that aren't fried. Food was good. We both very much liked the Three Amigos, with nicely seasoned chips, queso, guacamole and pico. All of which tasted nice and fresh. I wanted something fairly light, so I got the Brisket Bao, which came with two very rich Bao. Delicious. Very messy. Very juicy, which I was hoping wasn't pure oil. I took one home with me. Husband got the Beef Bulgogi Fajitas which were HUGE. One of those extremely rare times where he took a lot home. Although he probably could have finished it if we hadn't gotten the appetizer. He loved it. I tasted it and you definitely have to like cilantro. Service was okay. Gal was moving as fast as she could. She definitely wasn't familiar with the menu yet, but didn't hesitate to get the answers when she didn't. ,

Dining at Wong's Tacos was a great experience. They've done an amazing job with the ambience and hiring the best staff. Our server Michelle knew exactly what we were craving and had ZERO problem providing recommendations. I'd also suggest ordering 2-4 tacos per person. Personally, the Shrimp Tempura and Wong John Silver taco were my favorites. This is fusion food, so don't expect the normal street corn and mayo base. I was hoping it'd be a bit more creamier. I was informed that it was a sour cream base which changes the flavor profile quite a bit.

Crispy potstickers
Jessica K.

I thought this was more of a fast casual place before going, since most taco places in Raleigh are. This is actually a sit down restaurant, and one of the hostesses was quite snarky when we showed up with a group of 10 without calling ahead of time. We were fine waiting for them to move tables, and the place was pretty empty. It seemed unnecessary for her to respond that way. After getting seated, everything was great. There are so many unique menu items. My husband and I split some crispy potstickers. They were very good! I got the Korean Beef Bulgogi Burrito. I liked the crispy wonton chips it came with, and the burrito was enough for me to take some home. I would be interested to try some of the tacos next time!

Spicy marg! It was delicious!
Trisha L.

I enjoyed Wong's Tacos so much on my first visit less than two weeks ago that I've already been back. My Mom and I went for a late afternoon lunch/early dinner on Monday. We were the ONLY people sitting in the dining room at all. There were exactly three people sitting at the bar. So there was a grand total of five customers in the restaurant. Not surprising for the time of day. We each ordered a margarita. We waited a bit and then ordered an appetizer. We waited a bit and then each ordered one taco and one side item. The appetizer (chips and queso) came out quickly and was as delicious as before. Then the tacos came out. My chicken taco was super dry and not good. The. Margaritas. Never. Came. I asked our server to cancel the margarita order as we both wanted to drink our drinks before eating. I know the server had put the order in as they do it on a handheld device. The server apologized and said the bar was "backed up because there was only one bartender there". Ummmmmmm. There were FIVE people total in the whole place!! What was the bartender even doing? She was not even at the bar most of the time we were there. They DEFINITELY need a new bartender if the woman can't make drinks for five people. I am extremely disappointed that this was my Mom's experience her first time going there and I can tell you it will be a very long time before I go back if I ever go back.

Clockwise from left: El Blanco, Crispy Brussels Sprouts, Chili-Lime Chicken
Mary Z.

Enjoyable lunch today! A friend found this new place (they've been open about ten days) by searching for "Hot and New" on Yelp. Great choice! It's in a quiet area, near Crabtree Mall. It's an Asian/Mexican fusion restaurant. Unusual, but it works. When we arrived, we were seated immediately. Unfortunately, our hostess put us at a table with a "breeze"--the air conditioner was cold and blowing right on us. At my request, she moved us to the next table, which was better, but it was still uncomfortable. Out server was cordial and knowledgeable, and he kept calling us "friends." He gave us plenty of time to decide what to order, and our food came to the table within 15 minutes. I liked my Crispy Brussels Sprouts Taco (although it came to the table cold). I also really liked my well-seasoned Chili-Lime Chicken Taco and my El Blanco Taco. Both were only room temp, but I think that was because of the cold air blowing on them. Tacos come with a choice of flour tortilla, corn tortilla, or lettuce wrap. My friend loved his huge Epic Chorizo Chimichanga, and he ate the whole thing! They also have lots of bowls and other options. Prices were reasonable, the restaurant was clean and bright (but breezy!), and the location was good. Our server told us they're already doing a brisk lunch business. That's great! This is a fun and different concept for the area.

Popped into the new Wong's Tacos on its first day and was pleasantly surprised. Convenient location in the Glenlake development behind Crabtree Valley Mall, Wong's Tacos offers up "Mexanese (Mexican-Chinese) cuisine. Think Asian tacos, Latino bao and egg rolls! It's a tasty mash-up of flavors, I enjoyed by crispy pot-stickers and tacos I tried. Very affordable with all menu items under $20, table service and full bar with cocktails. Curious to see how the evolve, this location is the first in NC for this Richmond VA concept.

Mushroom taco and brisket taco
Gabrielle R.

We made the drive from Apex/Cary to try Wongs for lunch. Great atmosphere, nice staff, and fun concept! Went with the family- we had two of the boa buns as an appetizer (shrimp and beef) and then everyone ordered something different. The flavors were there for sure and I will definitely get the Brussel sprout tacos again- they were perfect!l Daughter loved the quesadillas (and she is picky) - the chicken was great and they were thoroughly filled. The only reason I kept this at a 4 star instead of a 5 was the brisket was a little dry and the sauce on the poke made them a little slimy feeling. We splurged for the churros for dessert and highly recommend. Great new spot and definitely worth giving it a try!!

The chips and guacamole, queso and pico de gallio
Shawn L.

Just opened, had to stop in to see what was up! Very pleasantly surprised by both the variety on the menu and how well prepared the food was. Started with the chips with Guacamole, Queso and Pico. The guacamole was very good and all three were quite excellent! Ordered tacos, we got the crispy Brussels taco, the Char Siu pork belly, Korean Braised Brisket and the Wong John Silver which was a piece of fried Mahi-Mahi. All the tacos had a nice contrast of textures and flavors; served on flour tortillas but they do offer an option of corn tortillas or a lettuce wrap. For a new restaurant they had good service, not a huge dining room, but a mix of booths and tables and a large bar. Had a couple of TVs with hockey playing so maybe it's going for a "sports bar" demographic. Plenty of parking, both in front of the restaurant and a parking garage. Overall, a really good spot and worth a visit!

For those that follow me on Yelp for brewery reviews, cocktail bar reviews are few and far between. So if I make a point of making a visit, it really is special. Great selection of product (I guess) but what I appreciate is the care and attention each glass is prepared by the bar keep. They are very friendly and knowledgeable - which is good for me, b/c I ask a lot of questions! Service is careful, but does crawl if the house is full, it really is tiny inside - did you know there was a back door, patio area? I particularly like the absence of having to yell at my table mates - it makes this barbour more sophisticated in this respect.Everything, right down to the outside marquee is subtle - and we like leaving the madding crowd far away...

I came here for drinks and dessert with friends, and the star of the show was definitely the beignets.

Her recommendations for pairing the drinks with the food were flawless, and each drink was prepared like a work of art. I started with the raw oysters, paired with a glass of Rose, which I loved. They switched from the Halibut with Fennel to Mahi with Forbidden Rice. The rice is black and inky and potent and extraordinary, but it overwhelmed the fish completely. Still greatful I got to experience it, but I would pair it with something more gamy like lamb or goat. The Pecan pie with warm salted caramel ice cream was nothing short of a spiritual experience, and Hayley's recommendation to pair it with Rum Flip was perfect. Yes, I Ubered. Overall, this one is going to be a frequent hangout.

If it's a beautiful day, I'd definitely recommend sitting outside instead. Still, the inside has a cozy, laid-back feel that works well. Shoutout to Qua, who was both the hostess and our server. She was welcoming, attentive, and handled everything smoothly, even as a few more parties came in while she was the only one serving at the time. One thing I really appreciated was that she let us know upfront what items were out of stock before we even looked at the menu. That level of transparency is huge and makes the experience so much better. My son ordered a slider with fries from the kids' menu. It comes with just one slider, so I ordered a second, definitely the right call. He enjoyed it, and the fries were cooked well, just a little on the salty side for our taste (ketchup helped balance that out). I had the shrimp tacos. It's packed and perfect portion for lunch. The shrimp, pineapple slaw, and chipotle mayo was a nice mix. The restaurant was clean (including the bathrooms). The location is also a plus, super close to the Art Museum, which makes it a great stop before or after visiting. Overall enjoyable, and I'd come back, especially to try more of the menu and the drinks.

I ordered their new Salmon BLT and my friend ordered the Meat Lovers Omlette that was served with gouda grits. The salmon blt lived up to my expectations. It was light but filling and super flavorful. The star is the red onion and dill aioli. My only complaint is the bread. It's tasty bread, it's just not sturdy enough fpr all of the sandwich ingredients. I would have appreciated if it were something thicker or served as an open faced sandwich. The sweet potato fries were fresh and crispy. The fresh pepper sprinkle on them gave them a new dynamic for me. My friend enjoyed the meat lovers omelet and she let me taste the gouda grits. OMG talk about flavor. I'm going back just for those damn grits!! I like very textured grits and these were that on top of perfectly seasoned and cheesed! Geeze!!!!!!!!!! Besides their massive wall of spirits, another component that i appreciated was their inclusive restroom offerings. The door signs are genius! This place looks like it's also great in the evening and late night. They certainly earned a customer in me! Can't wait to go back for more grits!!!!
