“We came upon Wong's Cafe as we drove into town late and it was one of the few restaurant's open. There it was, a rather nondescript, dated looking building where you had to use a side door to enter. Now, I have to preface this by acknowledging I grew up eating Cantonese-style Chinese food from the 50's and 60's in a farming town in the valley. Wong's reminded me so much of these Chinese eateries that were plentiful at the time - cantonese styled offerings, adapted to suit the taste buds of the local patrons, many of whom were Japanese and Filipino Americans. This is food I know and it was like visiting an old delicious memory. It was tasty, clean and good. That said, know this is not like the Chinese food you find today. All of which I eat on a regular basis. This is for the palette that wants unpretentious, flavorful, old-school cantonese food that was around before the influx of new Chinese schools of cuisine. This is its own, un-apologetic style. Measure your expectations accordingly. Then, enjoy the sepia-toned ambiance, Mr and Mrs Wong, and their honest, early Chinese American dishes. Been there, in the same spot for 31 years. it's good. I will go back. Oh, don't forget to ask for the mustard.“
