The four-star rating of this place is deceiving.
We opted to venture there on a Monday night, having not lived in the area for long and still trying to find local places we can love.
This was not that place.
I ordered the sesame chicken. It was all dark meat, mealy, and greasy. The accompanying rice was the most interesting thing about the entree.
My fiancee had the Dragon and Phoenix. He shared similar complaints about the General Tso's chicken that was part of his entree; he didn't eat the shrimp because it was so bad.
He had hot tea, which was so weak, it was unrecognizable as tea. I ordered a Coke and discovered it comes in cans. Not the end of the world, but for what they charged for that can, I could have found a vending machine nearby and had two or three cans.
Service was okay, though it took longer than necessary to get our check, particularly given that we were one of only two occupied tables in the restaurant.
Other reviewers have said they don't understand why the restaurant is empty. Take the emptiness as a warning and find somewhere else to visit. We'll be doing the same.
I don't know why Fong's is always empty every time I go there. The staff here are as friendly and professional as they come. They will always remember you, even if you have only visited once. The decor here is very old school and has a 'lived in' feel.
The food is great, it's not too traditional or too Americanized. Whenever my family is feeling the Chinese food calling us, and we don't want buffet, we go here. The portions are big, We usually split the entrees because it is too much for one person. The prices are pretty good too. I hope you visit Fong's soon. In this area, Chinese food doesn't get better.
