Chong's Szechwan Restaurant, located in downtown Monterey, has new owners and has been updated with a cleaner interior. The restaurant is known for its delicious special noodle or wonton soup, which can be customized with mushrooms and broccoli, and has a broth that is so good it can be a main meal for two adults. The lunch specials are around $10-$12 and include white rice, with options to upgrade to fried rice. The Hong Kong style chow mein is a favorite among customers, praised for its good flavor and wok-hei, especially when eaten fresh. The restaurant also offers dishes like Kung Pao Chicken, Garlic Chicken, and Sweet and Sour Chicken. Their stir-fries, including chow mein and fried rice, are cooked with wok-tossed technique and have a tasty flavor. The staff, including Michelle, are friendly and attentive, providing full table service. The interior has a super old-school feel, but the food is high quality, not greasy or loaded with sugar, and reasonably priced. The iced tea is also a highlight. Customers mention that there are no funky food odors or weird disinfectant smells, making it a great place to eat. Many visitors appreciate the consistency and good portions, often returning multiple days during their stay.
