Chinese Restaurants near Gary

“We passed Wing Wah for months and always thought, “Nah.” Big mistake. Finally gave it a shot after a Miller local swore by it. The food was steaming hot, fresh, and the portions are huge. For a small, carryout-only spot, this place seriously delivers. Don’t judge it by the outside. This is one of those hidden gems you’ll wish you tried sooner. Wing Wah? More like Wing Wah WOW. We’ll absolutely be back.“

“Youyo Noodle Bar, tucked inside the Hard Rock Cafe, is a convenient stop for a quick Asian-inspired meal, especially if you’re already in the area and don’t want to commit to a full sit-down restaurant. The biggest advantage here is speed. Ordering is straightforward, food comes out fast, and it’s easy to grab a meal without disrupting your plans. For travelers, shoppers, or anyone short on time, that level of efficiency is a real plus.

The menu offers a mix of familiar noodle bowls, rice dishes, and appetizers. Several of the main dishes were solid and well-executed, with good portion sizes and flavors that hit the mark for a casual meal. When Youyo gets it right, it’s satisfying and convenient comfort food that does exactly what it’s supposed to do.

That said, pricing is inconsistent. Some items feel noticeably overpriced for what you get, particularly the two-piece spring roll appetizer, which was disappointing in both value and substance. For the cost, the portion size simply didn’t justify the price, making it an easy skip. Overall, Youyo Noodle Bar works best if you choose carefully: stick to the stronger main dishes and enjoy the quick service and convenience, but be selective with appetizers to avoid paying more than the experience is worth.“

“First time tonight ordering food from this place and it was delicious!! We usually go to Hong Kong which was closed today, thankfully. When we moved to Hobart, we were told that Hong Kong had the best Chinese food but nope, that is not true. Rice garden is delicious.!! There were four of us so not just my opinion, everybody loved their meals. We ordered crab Rangoon, pork eggrolls, beef and broccoli, beef and snow peas, shrimp and scallops, chicken lo mein, and everybody loved their food. We will definitely go back again!!“

“Since I moved from Illinois I have not found a good Chinese food place until yesterday when I ordered at this place. They are #1 for sure! I ordered the combination fried rice and requested it spicy. It had so much meat in it. Every bite was meat full. And the rice was on point great flavor and delicious. Definitely will order again to see if this was real lol. The food was delicious!!“
