Recently moved here from a couple towns over. Craving Chinese food, wangs garden popped up on yelp, figured a would try it out. This place is great, and the price is awesome. I had to double take in the bill to make sure I ordered everything. Great food, fast service, and great prices.

I live in Warrenville and normally order Chinese food from a place down the street. The food is good, but their prices have gotten way out of control. The other night I ordered a large entree and it was almost $20. This wasn't even a delivery. So the other night I had a taste for Chinese food and decided to order from Wang's Garden. I got one large entree, one large fried rice and two egg rolls. I paid $26 for all of that. And let me just say the food was delicious. The Kung Pao beef was very tasty and the rice had lots of vegetables. I will be going there every time I want Chinese food even though I have to drive about 5 MI to get it. I really recommend this place! I'm giving this place four out of five stars only because they don't have any dine-in service.

This is my fourth time ordering from Wang's Garden and I am finding that it is a consistently good Chinese take out option that also makes decent sushi. They still aren't open for indoor dining but one of the great things about them is that they stay open until 10pm most nights so I'm able to get a late weekday takeout order with relative ease. Today I got the empress chicken, house special fried rice, an order of pork egg rolls and a Mexican maki roll. The breading and meat in the empress chicken were both good along with the sauce and vegetables. I'd ordered egg rolls and fried rice before and they both tasted just as good as previously. A little hard to see from the pic but the Mexican roll comes with yellowtail, avocado, cilantro and jalapeño under that spicy mayo sauce. This roll also tasted fresh and I like the option to add a roll onto a meal. Oftentimes restaurants that offer such a variety of Asian dishes tend to be lacking but Wang's does a pretty good job overall. Enough so that I feel I'd be more willing to give their other offerings like pad thai and poke bowls a try.

It's been hit and miss for me. I will never do lunch again. It was greasy like heated leftovers. The low mein noodles were bloated and way over cooked. Super old tasting greasy fried rice. I have had perfect egg rolls and soggy greasy cold ones. Rangoon was ok. Their kung pow was terrible in my opinion. Half of it was celery, the meat had a weird texture, (but the tofu I added was good) there was barely any sauce and it was bland. No spice and not much flavor. I want to want to try the sushi, but frankly I'm afraid to when cooked items haven't been great. Too inconsistent which is too bad cuz it's so close!

Absolutely love their crab Rangoon, the pork potstickers, the Mongolian beef, and the sweet-and-sour chicken! Affordable, delicious food prepared very promptly!

Found myself in North Aurora craving really good lomein. Initially I wanted delivery, but not having any luck, I decided to carry out from Wang's since it was only 2 miles away. Online ordering was fairly simple and straightforward. I paid for my order directly on the site. When you approach the door of the establishment, there is a cut out where food is handed to you. Their sign says they are not currently letting in customers due to COVID. I thought that was a little strange since we're nearing the end of the pandemic, but took my food anyways and went back to my moms place to eat. My spicy shrimp lomein with extra chili sauce on the side was spot on (I only needed to add a little salt per my taste). The crab rangoons were pretty good too, albeit a little on the sweet side. The food was delicious. Definitely worth the $14 price tag and 4 mile round trip. I look forward to ordering again in the near future!

Yummy choice for take out. Very freshly made food, veggies not overdone, generous quantity.

Still aren't able to eat inside, instead they've made some janky door situation that looks so trashy. The service is terrible for being just a pick up place now. Food hasn't been as good as it used to be before Covid.

Good poke bowls and sushi lunch platters. They are not doing sit down yet which is unfortunate, but they are great for take out.

Horrible. I ordered the shrimp tempura with the vegetable tempura and the beef chow fun. It was the worst Chinese food I think I've had. I can't say much about their sushi but I will not be going here again.

The food is not bad but the people working there are not as nice as you would expect. They still are not open and you can only order take out. Not busy at all but the people don't want to even communicate. Here is your food and they walk away. I'm saying all this and all I wanted was some extra sauces. No customers and no phone calls and he was to busy to ask a customer if they need anything.

I called to ask if they can accommodate gluten free. He said yes, but don't order online, just call back. We had a larger family order. I ordered shrimp fried rice and Mongolian delight at a mild heat level. It was wonderful and I was so thrilled to have Chinese takeout again. Highly recommend!

Good food. HORRIBLE service! They allow their covid lines wait in the freezing cold while not keeping their food completion times they promise. Only one person allowed inside at a time is not at all reasonable even when covid was a thing... come on

We've ordered from Wang's before. Their food is typically pretty good, but their service tends to be poor. With our most recent order, we placed an online order. When we arrived, they had no idea we had ordered. Even after showing them the order confirmation, they made little effort to rectify the situation. They didn't give us preferential position, but just continued to fill other customer's orders. They also did not give us any discount or complimentary items to make up for their error. I'm thinking that I'll be taking my business elsewhere.

I work in the area and have been going to Wangs for about 10 years now. They are not the most friendly people but the food is usually pretty good. I usually get the lunch special which is a good deal... meal includes egg roll or crab rangoon , and soup. The pot stickers and sizzling rice soup are wonderful as well.
