Dont get me wrong, the restaurant is very nice and the service is great but the most important thing, the food, was two star worthy. The fried rice was bland and burnt, the sesame chicken was soggy not crispy and the sesame sauce was too sweet and the chicken was still pink inside, the crab rangoon tasted nothing like crab and tasted like if you were taking a bite out of a philadelphia cream cheese bar. We went here after trying to find a good chinese joint after we moved to the area, we will just have to keep searching. Sorry Wangs, let me know when you guys perfect the art of cooking chinese.
Review Source:Went there this week finally! Â Went with my husband on a Tuesday night after hearing about it. Â We had egg rolls, chicken egg foo youg, seasame chicken and beef vegetable. Â Had a free coupon for egg rolls. Â
Everything was very good! Â The egg rolls were good. Â We tried the chicken egg foo young (told by friends that it was very good) and that was very good, but I have to admit that I would have preffered the vegetable. Â The rest was delicious!
Service was prompt and everyone there was very nice although no one else was there! Â I would definately go again!
Finally went here. I ordered on the side of caution, sort of testing the waters if I may. I ordered the chicken fried rice and chicken pad Thai. Both were very good. I went online and got a coupon for free egg rolls. They were your run of the mill egg rolls but very tastey. The chicken fried rice had a dash of onions peas and carrots which I happen to love. Keep this in mind when ordering. Also I like the way they cut the chicken into strips. I hate taking pics when eating out. But trust me. The pad Thai was very good. The rice noodles were very thin and wider than other places. Would I go here again? Absolutely.
Just went back there today and got the chicken egg foo young which was the BEST I have ever had. Really impressed. The place was busy and the phone was ringing off the hook. There was a line of people waiting for take out. The girls that work there were really hustling to get those orders through. They were doing a great job.
My lovely wife and I have been craving sushi for a few weeks now after the Holidays. Â We had made reservations at our local favorite in Batavia but after a VERY hectic work week, we just didn't feel up to getting dolled up, going out on the town, and dealing with Randall Road traffic, particularly with the threat of ice/sleet/snow in the weather forecast around the dinner hour.
Thanks to all our Yelper friends, we gave Wang's Garden a call after checking out the menu online. Â The fact that it is a 10 minute drive away is a BIG plus, though we were wishing for delivery. Â
A lot of the reviews we've seen here are for the Chinese side of the menu, but the sushi craving needed to be satiated, so sushi it had to be.
We started with the Lollipop appetizer, which couldn't have been more delicious and refreshing. Â Artistically wrapped in cucumber, it was a winner.
An assortment of nigiri was very good, and at a great price point. Â I do wish one of my favorites, Uni (sea urchin), was on the menu, but what we had was enjoyable except for one small bone in a piece of the Yellowtail. Unagi, another favorite, was yummy.
We also ordered some Maki...Aurora, Mexican and Spider. Â All were excellent, but by far my favorite was the Mexican. Â We love cilantro (and its infant form, coriander) and the addition of cilantro and jalapeno to this roll just sent it over the Moon!
Comparing the Chinese menu to our local Aurora favorite that offers delivery (see my review) showed that Wang's was a little more expensive for a lot of things, but it seems like the overall opinion on Yelp is favorable. Â We'll have to try that side of the menu sometime. Â
The prices for sushi couldn't be beat compared to our "Batavia favorite", so we are very pleased with the experience and will be back.
I'm stuck in my ways when it comes to my Chinese food, but when our usual place was closed on New Years Day that's when we decided to give Wang's Garden a shot. Â They are extremely close to where we live in Aurora, so why not?
My opinion differs from my husband's who enjoyed it a little more than I did. Â We got the house chop suey, egg rolls, pot stickers and shrimp fried rice. Â The chop suey and pot stickers were excellent. They provide you the option of fried or streamed pot stickers with isn't typical of our usual Chinese place. Â We opted for the steamed pot stickers and they were perfect.
My complaint is with the fried rice and egg rolls. Â The rice was bland and the shrimp that came with the rice was undercooked. Â Because of this, I ate around the shrimp. Â The egg rolls where mildly startling because I bit into it and there was absolutely no color inside the egg roll. Â Maybe I'm being fickle, but I've had my fair share of egg rolls and I've never come across one that had NO color on the inside.
I would like to give Wang's another shot and see if I can up the rating. Â Since they are 2 for 4 on items I ordered I think it has potential. Â Maybe their sushi will change my mind?
I really like this place. Its right around the corner from my job. This was my first time having food from here and I wanted to play it safe so I ordered the sweet & sour chicken lunch special with steamed rice and crab ragoon. The chicken wasn't surrounded in dough and the crab ragoon was crunchy on the outside and creamy on the inside. SOOO good! In my opinion, this place rocks! I cant wait to go back during lunch and try sushi. Mmmmm.
Review Source:4 stars for the sushi. Less for the service. And annoyed sidebar, why post coupons to your website that have to be printed to be used. Why not just make them specials, or grant them upon mention.
This place has pretty decent sushi, especially for how convenient it is for Aurora residents. I'm sure I'll be going there again.
The Good: Mexican Roll and Spicy Scallop Roll (same sauce), Hot Roll and Godzilla Roll
The rest: Spicy Tuna Roll (pretty bland but not bad), Play Boy Roll (the presentation is cool, wrapped in tin foil and sauce on fire, but if you leave it in the tin foil for too long the roll burns a little. The way it's cooked and the extra shrimp on top makes it not taste like sushi at all, so I won't be ordering that one again)
I happened to be in the area to do some shopping with a friend and we came a crossed this little gem. We both wanted sushi and this place hit the spot. I was immensely pleased that they had one of my all time favorite rolls: the playboy roll. I think it's a good thing that his restaurant is not in Chicago or else I would go broke ordering from there!! Love it!!
Review Source:I have been to Wang's Garden several times, and have never been disappointed. The food is excellent, and the service is friendly and prompt. I recommend the Green Turtle for sushi rolls, and the Bird's Nest for a very filling seafood hot dish. Also, the Pad Thai is excellent. What is especially nice about Wang's Garden is the service. Everyone greets you when you are seated, and our waitress remembered us every time we dined, even though we dine there once in a while. It is one of my favorite places for a nice meal.
Review Source:I was very skeptical of a place being able to do both sushi and Chinese well. I haven't tried their Chinese food yet, but since its right down the street and the sushi specials are a good deal, I decided to give it a try. For $13.99+ tax I got to choose 3 rolls from a limited menu and it came with soup, salad and a fortune cookie. The sushi is decent. Its not on a par with Swordfish or even Raku, but its also significantly cheaper and for the price, the quality is about what I would expect. While I took my food to go, the atmosphere appeared very relaxing and the staff members I dealt with were pleasant and courteous. The place is also very clean which is a must if I'm eating raw fish from an establishment. While this probably isn't a place where I'll bring my friends, its definitely a place I'll get carry-out from again since its near my house and the price is right for a meal alone at home.
Review Source:Big pluses: Â Take-out orders are always accurate, big portions, low prices. Â Good foods include: Â Egg drop soup, hot and sour soup, lo mein, egg foo yong, sweet and sour pork, great steamed rice (I think that they give the sushi rice), basil garlic eggplant with chicken, Kung Pao chicken, fried pot stickers, egg rolls, sushi, sashimi, udon. Hot tea. Â Interior decor is nice to look at and seems to be part Chinese and part Japanese. Â Sushi chef smiles a lot. Â This is easily the best tasting Chinese that I've had in the area so far. Â As for sushi, the lunch specials are tough to beat whether on price (2 rolls off of a limited menu, plus miso soup, and a salad for $7.99 + tax) or time frame (up to 3 p.m.), Monday through Saturday.
The only area that I think is consistently poor is the English language skills of staff - you're better off not asking any questions because they tend to focus on the few words or phrases that they recognize but miss the rest of it, so you'll just be frustrated trying to back them off of whatever it is that they suddenly think they're understanding.
Never eaten in at Wangs but I have picked up orders for lunch at work and for myself for dinner several times. Always enjoy their pad thai with chicken and wanton soup. Good flavor, not as spicy as some pad thai dishes at other places, actually kinda sweet, but still very good! Definitely recommend the Aurora maki roll. Tried the egg drop soup once and I was not a fan of it.
Review Source:I love this place. The prices are so reasonable and its a luxury to get my favorite Chinese and Sushi dishes at the same time. Hot and sour soup with sushi? Yes please! The servers are very nice and the decor is pleasing. It's bigger than it looks on a drive by on the inside. They do a brisk carryout business, but we like going in. The lettuce wraps, hot and sour soup, 3 maki roll specials, shrimp fried rice, and sweet potato roll are all winners. I can't wait to try more dishes because the menu is extensive!
Review Source:We live about 15 minutes away from Wang's, and get take-out from them at least once a month. We've always been pleased with the quality of the food, and without fail, the food's ready in about the 15 minutes it takes me to drive over to pick it up. I noticed one previous reviewer said they had some sort of problem with coupons? I've used their web coupons many times with no problem at all. Usually get either a free sweet & sour chicken or orange chicken - both are great.
I really enjoy their cooked sushi rolls. All of them are fantastic. We almost always order the sesame chicken and/or beef, some egg foo young, their house fried rice, and try a few new things each time. The food is always good, the folks who work there are very nice, and the price is reasonable and fair.
Not sure what else you'd look for in chinese takeout, for our money, the best in the fox valley.
There really aren't good chinese places in the area, and I have been sorely disappointed since I have lived here. But FINALLY, this one is the best that I've had by far. Their orange chicken is excellent, with real pieces of oranges and just the right amount of kick in the sauce. Husband had the sweet and sour chicken, said it was the great that the fried rice wasn't dry. The lunch portions are huge, with the choice of egg roll or crab rangoon. I got a sushi roll too to try (Aurora roll), and it was great! And the best part is, all of this was under 20 dollars.
Will be back for sure.
Went for lunch on 1-6-2012 and had one of their $6.95 lunch specials. Â Had the Kung-Pao Shrimp. Â Â Very good, largest shrimp in a lunch special ever! Â Great portion too. Â Hot and Sour soup was EXCELLENT and improved since the last time I at there; small egg roll, but was very tasty. Â Service was VERY good and attentive - , if not a bit rushed.
Review Source:giving it 5 stars ( very rare ) to appreciate an effort to bring very good pan Asian cuisine into the misery of suburbs. The hot and sour soup is the best around, any hunan dish is great. And you cant beat 10$ for the sushi lunch, fresh, great presentation. Service is way above your average Chinese place. Try their special house noodle soup, wont regret it.
Review Source:I love Wang's Garden. Â I have been been there at least once a month since they have opened, and I'm impressed each time. Â They have a very good lunch special and the prices are quite reasonable, especially for the sushi. Â 3 rolls for under $12. Â When I with someone else we always share a Chinese dish and rolls and never leave hungry.
Review Source:This place is really yummy. Â Not super expensive, and the service is always satisfactory, though not super knowledgeable about the wine/beer. Â Probably not a place that people go to drink too often, though. Â Their crab rangoon is great, the veggie egg foo young is delicious, and their general's chicken is really good, too. Â I've been impressed every time I've been there.
Review Source:First I was so happy that they were able to deliver but I don't think they do it a lot. The lady who answered the phone was the one who was sent with it and she called a few times lost.
The food was delivered in the hour we were told, and I found it to be tasty. The amount of food that you got was almost like the other places around here but Wang's was more veggies than other places. The price was a dollar more or less on the items we ordered than our regular chinese restaurant.
My husband did not think this place would be at the top of our list to order from again. He said the food was good it just was not his favorite.
I do enjoy the sushi here, and for a cheap price. the food is ok, i think it's pretty looking, the portions are small for the price, if i were to come again it would be for LUNCH, dinner isn't worth it. Same with lunch for sushi, i've had the yellowtail, spicy tuny and spicy salmon. i liked the spicy sushis but not the yellowtail, only because i'm not a fan of sushimi. this would be my go to place for sushi because it's closest to me.
Review Source:Wang's has turned into a regular take out stop for us. Â By the time we made the 10 minute drive to the restaurant, our food was ready to go. Â The sweet potato and vegetable rolls are both good, the sweet potato roll is especially unique and delicious. Â We have also had the basil garlic eggplant, the sizzling black pepper chicken, the mongolian beef, and the chicken with peppers and tomato. Â Out of those, our favorites are the eggplant and sizzling black pepper chicken. Â The food is good and the service is quick for take out. Â We think the prices could be a little lower; hence the 4 star instead of 5.
Review Source:I went for lunch on a Wednesday. I had pretty high expectations, admittedly, but was thouruoghly disappointed. I had the mongolian beef, veggie fried rice, soup, eggroll, and dynamite appetizer. The dynamite was delicious! Served on a flaming plate with crab, spicy mayo, and roe. No complaints there. The hot and sour soup was another high point. They end there. The mongolian beef was sweet and served on rice noodles. Neither of those two characteristics thrill me at all. The veggie fried rice was good... considering it was just veggie fried rice. The eggroll was the size of a spring roll, and also very mediocre. My meal, which was a lunch special, was $6.55 plus tax. The serving size was small for chinese food. I'd say go somewhere else.
Review Source:This place is a welcome addition to the area, the food was good, and they have a sushi bar also so you can get your Roe on if you like. I usually use my kids as a gauge to how good the food is by how much is left on their plates when they say they're done. Well, we had pot stickers, sizzling rice soup and broccoli chicken, and there was nothing coming home with us that day. Will definitely come back again.
Review Source:We have a couple of other chinese resturants in town, but one evening we decided to give Wangs garden a try. We were seated immediatley and waitress came over gave us menus etc. We ordered Egg rolls, Pot stickers, and shrimp tempura. Egg rolls were smaller than most and good, pot stickers not to doughy, and instead of the shrimp we got a shrimp tempura roll. That mistake was the highlight of the appitizers. Very tasty and well made. Entrees were Sesame Shrimp, Gen Tsos chicken, beef and stringbeans. All decent with the shrimp shining the most, nothing spectacular. Drink refills and service really lost steam during the meal, my son had to get up to ask for soda he was so tired of waiting at one point. Check took forever to arrive. 75 bucks including tip for 4 people. I dont know if id return for the chineese food, but I will give it another shot for the rolls.
Review Source:Wang's Garden is definitely a great place to eat and awful fast take-out.
The Crab Rangoons are my favorite but the General Tso's dish is quite delicious.  The place is  a bit small and not the most overly decorated place but I find the simplicity quite nice.
The few times I have dined or picked up food has been a good experience. Â The servers are always extremely pleasant and on top of keeping the liquids topped off.
The portions are HUGE for the amount you pay. Â I can get at least 2 sometimes 3 meals out of a full dinner size.
All in all this is a great find.
i went back again. with my mother. this time and for dinner. i tried something other than the pad thai. She had the mu gu beef and i had sesame chicken. We also ordred rainbow rolls.
I thought i would review this restaurant one last time on a day when they weren't crazy busy because i am sure that 12+ crowd caught them off guard so i didn't get the quality service i would have gotten had it been a normal day. It was nice and quiet, a little bit less than busy but still enough take out and dine in business.
Let me say...the rainbow rolls were YUM!!! oh...my...god! WOULD ORDER AGAIN!
I tried my mom's Mu Gu pork...just the meat as i don't like cabbage at all, and it was good!!! My sesame chicken was so yummy! It seemed that the coating was way different than ECI. it semed more light. less heavy. I liked that. The broccoli was cooked just right so it wasn't too soggy.
Don't think when your order arrives, that you have a skimpy portion.
at first, it looks like you don't get a lot but i think that is an optical illusion because the plate it is served on is HUGE!! (where as, at East China Inn, the plate is smaller)...so..same amount of food, but you are fooled into thinking it is less because the plate is big! just an FYI. because, i was so full, i took left overs home.
So, compared to my last visit, i give this place 5 stars now! we went when it was not busy...and we got great service, no mess ups, no slowness. My mom mentioned  at the start of our meal "Can i have a menu to take home?" and the waitress nodded and smiled. When we got our to-go boxes she said...with a genuine smile "And i have included those take home menus for you in with your togo bag!" proving that she did not forget even though we didn't have to remind her!!
some places, you have to REMIND them of things because they forget. I am definitely going back, next time...for lunch sushi because i am a broke college student who wants to save a few bucks haha. Definitely (as with most chinese places) go for lunch. Same food, same quality, cheaper price. plus, LEFT OVERS FOR DINNER! HURRAH!
Wang's Garden is a welcome addition to the Aurora/Naperville dining scene.
The dine-in menu lists both Japanese and Chinese dinner and lunch specials- we tried the Chinese lunch items. The full take-home menu can be viewed on their website and saved as a PDF for later reference.
Spicy choices are indicated on the menu with a red pepper and on request can be prepared "extra spicy".
I am a big fan of hot and sour soup and Wang's Garden includes a larger than average bowl with lunch, as well as your choice of crab rangoon or egg roll appetizers.
The waitstaff gives service rivaling much pricier places in the area- we were treated like valued customers and every request was taken care of immediately. The waitstaff is also friendly and fun without being intrusive.
The decor is what I like to call "Asian New" and the dining area was spotless and inviting.
A couple that came in before us got "freaky fast" service for their take out order. It was absolutely amazing....
Our overall impression was that this is a great place for traditional Chinese-American fare either for take out or dining in.
Note: Not sure who all voted this place as "spendy" because both times we went here (for lunch and then for dinner), our check was quite CHEAP especially considering the amount of food that we were served.
