This is shockingly good Chinese food for the middle of nowhere!
Both dishes we sampled, the house special soup and the combination lettuce wraps, are ones I would happily order again. Â The soup was a thick broth, loaded with egg-white drop noodles, white meat chicken, giant shrimp, and plenty of carrots and snow pea pods. Â The large portion was enough for about four small bowls (or two big bowls) so it's perfect to split. Â I've also got to note the fantastic fried wonton strips. Â While these golden dough pieces are usually unremarkable at most places, these were fresh, crispy, and slightly warm -fantastic!
While maybe not entirely authentic, the lettuce wraps were way better than what you might find at a certain well known national chain. Â The flavor was fantastic and the portion was generous. Next time, I'll ask for more lettuce, as there was probably enough for six decent sized rolls out of just one portion. Â The plate was beautifully garnished, and we were presented with a bevy of sauces to add to our wraps.
Couple this with fantastic service, low prices, and a beautiful and clean interior, and you can bet this will be on my list for a repeat visit the next time I'm in the poultry capitol of Georgia.
To those considering Chinese in Flowery Branch I caution you when attempting Wang's. I have newly moved to the area and was in need of a convenient place to grab my favorite take out option. I have tried several in the area now but felt strongly enough about my disfavor with this place that I will make note for you.
I read the other reviews without noting that the dates for them are well in the past. Perhaps back then the food was different. As of several weeks ago however I can only tell you terming the food bland would be an understatement.
We ordered the Sesame Chicken, Pork Egg Food Young and Fried rice.
The chicken was rubbery and soggy and the sauce was absolutely tasteless, The sweet sauce was bland, tasteless in fact, anything but the sweet thick brown sauce to which I am accustomed to receiving at other establishments. I could not even eat more than a small helping as it was chewy and lacked any seasoning at all. The Rice was much the same, I have had plain white jasmine rice with more flavor, don't look for vegetables or egg in your fried rice here either, there was nothing but rice that was simply not white. The Pork Egg Foo young was similarly without any flavor and was difficult to consume.
We did not eat in so I cannot comment on any service. The price was less than I have paid at other places in the area, but with the aweful lack of flavor I would not deem it a value. It was the first time ever I honestly could not force myself to even eat the leftovers. Â
May their future improve, but I personally will look elsewhere for my meals.
I am absolutely a fan! I live right behind the restaurant and consider myself to be extremely lucky to have such an amazing restaurant so close. Their food is fresh and tastes different from other American style Chinese restaurants, and the way they place the food is impeccable! Their dishes are so pretty.
They also deliver (FAST)
A nice place, but with it being managed by two white people instead of Asians ... it gave me a moment's pause.
The menu looks great, but they don't follow their own menu. Â Jong Bond noode soup, should be almost nuclear hot with spices ... yet my nose didn't even run ... bland.
Same thing with Orange Beef ... should be spicy and sweet ... my favorite combination. Â Instead it was cloying and soft, not crispy.
Daughter had Pork and vegetables, wife had chicken and vegetables, both, uncharacteristically had leftovers ... if leftovers do exist, they are usually lunch the next day. Â In fact, I usually get a Lo Main to go, just for the next day's lunch. Â All three are still sitting in the refrigerator, three days later. Â What does that tell you?
The food was good, but uninspired. Â I think I'll go back to Chef Wang's in Gainesville.
My boyfriend and I dined in on a Tuesday evening. After passing Wang's everyday, I finally decided to check it out. We were greeted promptly at the door and seeing as it was pouring down rain outside, I was happy that it was warm and cozy inside. We sat in a booth along the wall. We were about 1 of 4 parties at the time we sat down. Throughout our meal, they became increasingly busy. We were given Wonton strips as soon as we sat down and greeted by our server right away. Their menus are put together nicely. We just drank water so I'm not sure if alcoholic beverages are available. I ordered the Spicy Curry Tofu soup (Veg) - although it only came in the "large" portion, I couldn't resist. Three people could have easily shared this soup and there still be leftover. I also ordered the Vegetable Lo Mein although I knew it would be entirely too much food - but I would have lunch for the next day. My boyfriend got the General Tso Chicken and he swore up and down it was the best that he has ever eaten! He absolutely loved it he couldn't resist but to clean his plate!
Since the soup was such a large portion for just me, I asked my server if I could take it to go - wanting to avoid a mess at the table, I asked her if she could put it together for me. Mistakingly she thought I said I wanted my meal to go, so while my boyfriend's meal came out on a plate, mine came in a togo box/bag. She then brought me a plate. So that was a little strange, but it's ok I didn't mind.
We'll check it out again!
An entirely reasonable chinese take-out place. Â Just be sure to ask for a fork and knife - I drove all the way back to the office and realized that I had nothing to eat my sesame chicken with!
Wang's appears to be a bit of a local institution around the Oakwood/Gainesville area, and with pretty good reason. Â The service is cheerful, the food is pretty good, and it's ready and waiting for you by the time you get there.
If you're out this way and jonesing for some Sesame Chicken, you could do a whole lot worse.
