Honestly, for the amount of food we received for price didn’t add up. Overall experience was good, but just over priced for mediocre food. The Wontons were good that was worth the money.

The owner, Mike Wang (pronounced Wong), is usually your host. So friendly & congenial. Service is great, food is very good & upscale dining area unusual for a smaller restaurant (seats ~ 100).

I was quite disappointed with the food here. The fried dumplings (jianjiao) were definitely not pan-fried; they were deep-fried to the point of being rock hard and impossible to chew. Additionally, the stir-fried vegetables had so much cornstarch thickening that it felt like eating a giant, gooey lump of dough rather than fresh greens. I wouldn’t recommend these dishes.

Don’t waste your time or money. Tiny portions that aren’t even enough for one person for $18 a pop. Insane.

Our waiter was either too busy or just didn’t care. Absolutely paid no attention to us. They seem to be very focused on to go orders versus table service. Food was pretty good but not worth it since service was so bad.

I came here for a solo dinner and ordered a chef recommended dish called fish head with tofu. It came in a small metal pot, beautifully arranged. It tasted very fresh and authentic. Service is excellent. I will come back again!

## 🍤 A Delightful Experience at House of Wong, 🍍
I recently had the pleasure of dining at the House of Wong and it was a truly satisfying experience that perfectly balances great taste, value, and classic ambiance. If you're looking for authentic and delicious Chinese cuisine without breaking the bank, this is the spot! 🌟 Culinary Highlights: Freshness and Flavor The quality and freshness of the ingredients really shone through in every dish we ordered. The Shrimp with Mixed Vegetables was outstanding. The shrimp was perfectly cooked—tender and succulent—and complemented by a vibrant mix of fresh, crisp Chinese greens. The sauce was light, savory, and allowed the natural flavors of the main ingredients to be the star. *The Beef with Sweet and Sour Vegetables offered a wonderful contrast. The beef was tender, and the sweet and sour sauce had that perfect, tangy balance that wasn't overly sugary or artificial. Again, the accompanying vegetables were fresh and had a satisfying crunch. *We started with the classic Wonton Soup and Spring Rolls. The wonton wrappers were delicate, the filling was flavorful, and the broth was comforting and light—a perfect start. The spring rolls were crispy on the outside and packed with fresh, savory filling inside. Every dish demonstrated a commitment to freshness and authentic, good tastes. The food was not heavy or greasy, but rather bright and clean. Excellent Value One of the most appealing aspects of House of Wong is the incredible value. The portions were generous, and considering the quality and location, the low price made this a real find. It's refreshing to enjoy such satisfying food without a hefty bill! Service and Atmosphere From the moment we walked in, the service was excellent. The staff was attentive, friendly, and efficient, ensuring our water glasses were full and our dishes were brought out promptly and hot. The restaurant itself has a wonderful, traditional Chinese restaurant atmosphere. It's comfortable, welcoming, and has the familiar, warm decor that makes you feel like you've stepped into a classic, established eatery. It truly added to the overall enjoyment of the meal. In summary House of Wong is a must-try close to Waikiki for anyone craving delicious, fresh, and authentic Chinese food served with excellent care in a lovely, traditional setting, all at a fantastic price point. Highly recommended!

Today I got to try their Egg Fu-Yong and found it very tasty and they do give a lot. Moreover, the server is very friendly and helpful.

If people are repeatedly writing reviews about how much your food sucks… Why not work on it? Get better food better recipes better chef
Had crispy noodle, half size roasted duck and honey walnut shrimp, then finished with mango pudding. The food came very quick, and the server was attentive. Great to have complementary oolong tea along their food. Parking is limited but on the back side of the restaurant. Good for quick eat.

Delicious Food, Dull Atmosphere
I came in with my kids and was a little hesitant — the restaurant was empty and the decor felt a bit dull and outdated. The prices were also higher than I expected. But I’m glad we stayed, because the food was much better than anticipated!
We ordered the whole fried fish and Kung Pao chicken — both were full of flavor and cooked perfectly. The fish was crispy and fresh, and the chicken had a great balance of spice and savoriness.
While the ambiance could use an upgrade, the food alone makes it worth a visit.

Ordered Kungpao chicken and it wasn’t good. They fried the chicken instead of sauté with vegetables. The dish also did not have any vegetables like pepper, carrots
