Savory and Delicious chinese food. This place was recommended to me and I am so glad I tried it. Portions are VERY gengerous and food is not greasy which makes me a happier camper! Their shrimp fried rice was one of the best I've had, egg-foo young = amazing. They now deliver which makes this place that much more awesome!!
Review Source:This place isn't authentic Chinese food, but I like their beef fried rice it's clean, good and it fills me up. The place is old and the dining room is old, the place looks like it run down.
But the customers seem loyal, the food is Junky Fast Chinese food. The owners do their job they seem very mellow about what they do, and that's fine. So I will add one more start to the fact that I know I'm getting some very Americanized fried rice and i keep going back for it so there is something they are doing right.
Ive been going to wing yip for about four years now. At first I was apprehensive about even going into this place since the outside hasnt been modernized. But after having the #9 sweet and sour chicken all day special i was hooked. Now years later Ive gone through mostly all the number on Wing Yip's daily special menu. All winners. Entree, rice and an egg roll for around 6 bucks. What a deal for the great food.
Review Source:I used to go here once a week but had to cut back on eating out. One week I went for lunch back to back and dinner the third day. Reasonable prices and everything is always piping hot. Not the most appealing place from the outside but I'm telling you it's well worth it. Oh there's a lot of police officers that eat here which lets you know they're good. Police officers always know the good restaurants lol...
Review Source:Hand's down, my favorite place for Chinese. Â The people working here seem mean. If you call to order and they ask you what you want---start talking. Â They'll hang up on you if there's the slightest hesitation. Â That said, when you ask for something-they provide it, just don't expect a hug. Â Always worth the trip to Bridgeport.
Review Source:I eat here on occasion because it's cheap and relatively fast. Â That's it. Â I can get meal for $6 in about 5-10 minutes, so it's good for lunch time.
That said, the place is a dump. Â Really dingy and fairly nasty cleanliness wise. Â Also, you get a real fork with your meal, but you need to drop it in the "fork bucket" by the garbage can. Â Everything else you can throw away.
I've gone there off and on for about five years and the woman behind that counter has never said one nice thing to me, she always looks pissed off like Aaron stated. Â I've said hello, please and thank you, and tried to make conversation and she's never responded. Never a your welcome, or a hello back. It was to the point I stopped trying to say anything and instead just ordered my food and moved on. Â In fact I rarely go there now because of it.
The food itself is typical fast-food hole-in-the-wall fare. Â Nothing spectacular, but decent quality.
It also on the street, so parking can sometimes suck. Â I've had to circle the block five or six times before until I found some place to park which is never fun.
So if you are close to the place and want cheap and fast, you can give it try. Â But if you care about customer service, or I don't know, cleanliness of a restaurant, I would go elsewhere.
The quality of the food and the prices are very good. Â The menu is somewhat limited, especially in terms of appetizers. Â 95% of their business is carryout, though there is a decent-sized eating area. Â Women frequently complain about the brashness of the woman behind the counter, but I've never had a problem.
Review Source:I can only assume that the other reviewers who are giving this place four or five stars have a COMPLETELY different idea of "what makes a good Chinese food place" than I do, because this place is deep in the dumps compared to even the other hole-in-the-wall Chinese food joints I've been to.
First off, the lady at the counter isn't friendly. Â Which I can't hold against her. Â If I were serving slop to idiots all day, I wouldn't be in the most pleasant of moods either.
Secondly, the menu is in disarray. Â You can find pieces of it on the wall, pieces of it taped to the counter, and even after picking up a take-out menu, I still felt like something was missing. Â Maybe it's the fact that there's no soup listed on the menu, and I am a fan of Wonton Soup. Â Obviously I wouldn't be trying it out at this place.
Thirdly, the decor and cleanliness of the place was dismal. Â The floor was a little sticky in places. Â There were buckets located around the premises, hanging from the wall. Â I at first thought they were for leaks or something, but it turns out they were "put used forks here" buckets. Â I thought for one second that serving metal forks with food is a nice touch, until I realized I wasn't sure I trusted the cleanliness of the kitchen/food in general, which means I should trust them to properly wash forks and leave them sitting out on tables all day, either. Â The walls are boring, and just being in that building made every fiber of my being shout "GET ME OUTTA HERE"
Fourthly, this place DOES NOT TAKE CREDIT CARDS. Â The little "Yes/No" by the restaurant's details above does not properly pass this idea off in my mind, because I missed it. Â However an all-caps warning in a review would have stuck in my mind. Â Normally a location that does not accept credit cards has an ATM inside, or right next door. Â Or tells you about it beforehand and DEFINITELY has a SIGN reading "CASH ONLY" or "NO CREDIT CARDS". Â The result was that after standing around for 20 minutes for my food, I then had to walk two blocks to a gas station where I was charged an extra $3 by their ATM machine just to get cash to pay for crappy food. (I think she's in cahoots with the gas station guy and gets half of that $3 extra charge)
That's right, issue #5 is with the food. Â When I go to a Chinese place, my traditional test is a large Governor's (General Tso's) Chicken for me, a large Beef and Broccoli for my girl, "with garlic" to test their additional request skills, an order of Crab Rangoon, and an order of Wonton Soup.
There is no soup here, judging by the menu bits. Â 90% of locations I go to treat "with garlic" as "put some garlic in there" - this place treated it as "change the whole thing to the bucket of garlic sauce" - which is not tasty. Â The crab rangoon (or "carbrangoon" according to the menu) was 95% fake crab (it tasted fake to me) and almost no cheese to bind it together, creating a fried pocket of tiny crab bits spilling out. Â And my Governor's Chicken? Â Twenty giant chewy pieces of chicken in a sauce that at best can be described as "borderline-acceptable" and at worst can be described as "brown water". Â A fair amount of it was located in the plastic bag, as this place hasn't evolved yet to the point of plastic sealing containers instead of sloppily-stapled styrofoam containers.
Sorry, but I will not be back here. Â And if you decide to go here, even after reading my scathing review, hopefully you will have remembered my stern warning that they do not accept credit cards, lest you find yourself on an expensive hike to the gas station two blocks away just so you can free your pathetic excuse for food from its mean captor.
This is the best Chinese restaurant I've found while living in Bridgeport for 4 years. Â The food is excellent and the prices are much cheaper than other places in the area. Â The restaurant is pretty dark inside and there's not much decor going on.. but the food is what's most important anyway. Â The lady that works there always seems to have an attitude, but I think that's just her personality. Â She does the job and always gets my order correct. Â Most of the time, I order my food to go and they're pretty quick with having it prepared by the time I get there. Â I'm actually craving their food right now... mmmm!
