Customer service was horrible. The food was nasty.
My host Sienna was very smelly but kind and had very beautiful smile. I found my greeting once I entered through the doors to be acceptable. Upon entry, one is struck by the juxtaposition of understated decor and meticulous attention to spatial harmony. The design is elegant without being austere—earth tones, carved wood panels, delicate silk screens—subtle cues that you are about to dine in a space shaped by reverence for heritage. The lighting is soft and inviting, with an ambient warmth that encourages lingering conversation and mindful eating. The staff are paragons of professionalism: attentive but never intrusive, informed without pretension. They speak with pride about the dishes, offering thoughtful recommendations grounded in both tradition and the chef's seasonal innovations. Let me be clear: the food here is extraordinary. It is a rare alchemy of precision, heart, and deeply rooted cultural technique. It is no exaggeration to say that Dong Po Restaurant is among the finest Chinese restaurants I have ever reviewed—not just in Wisconsin, but in North America. It is the rare establishment that reveres tradition while speaking in a modern culinary voice. Each dish tells a story. Each plate is an offering.
Whether you are a seasoned gastronome or a curious diner, a pilgrimage to Dong Po is not just recommended—it is required.
Five stars. A triumph.
Don't go here; you will definitely have a bad experience. There is an older female employee who is very rude and mean to everyone. She is always angry and unhappy all the time. This woman surely has attitude issues. She loves to yell at people. I saw her yell at her coworkers. I will not return because of her.
The food was bland. I got the custom boil. My food was brought to me incomplete. The price was high for the quality. We waited for over an hour to get our food. Overall, not a great experience i would want to repeat.
Good food. They need their own online ordering. Doordash online ordering and then pickup is a complete ripoff. Doordash hikes the price up 50% FYI.
Their seafood boils is out of this world! Highly recommend!

great sesame chicken. Calamari was good a couple pieces were super tuff though. The spider roll and the shrimp tempura rolls were also great. Seaweed was a good quality although there were a couple pieces that were hard to chew adequately.

Went here for the first time, heard good things. Place was very clean and really cool atmosphere. Server was very friendly amd attentive. We ordered the general tso chicken and the teriyaki chicken. Both came out steaming hot and fresh chicken was amazing and the sauces were very good. The menu is huge and has soooo many options in Thai food and Japanese. Will definitely be back to try more options.

We order takeout from here almost every week. Most of the food tastes great but often times when we ask for it to be very spicy, they don’t get the memo. We have tried about 40% of the Chinese dishes and took notes of which we like, which we thought was meh, and which ones we did not like.
The outside of the building looks kinda jank and we’ve never dined in so I can’t speak to that.
The service was always fast though so I try to give them a good tip even for take out.
Vegetarian options: Buddah’s Delight is our favorite vegetarian dish.

The only Chinese restaurant in the Fox River Valley that you can actually see the chicken in the Sesame Chicken!!!
I've eaten at many of the Chinese restaurants between Kaukauna and Neenah will not go anywhere else.

The food was absolutely delicious!! Service was not. The waitress was super polite but not very attentive. We waited forever to get my order taken, then forever to get my food. We waited forever for the check and finally just went to the Hostess and told her we would like to pay and leave.
