Found this place while googling for lunch. Decided to check it out with my brother. The owner working there,.. she was so kind and lovely. We had a great chat. The food is western style Chinese. It was fresh and really good. The portions were large so had a lot to take home for later. The moo shu pork pancakes were good. The ginger beef was crispy and tasty. Will for sure come back for a great lunch and the lovely owner. Please try it out

First time ordering from John Wong’s and we were hungry!! We were loyal to a local chinese restaurant that recently closed, so we were on a hunt to replace and add a new take out menu to our growing collection. We heard about John Wong’s and they have stepped up with 2 thumbs up . We enjoyed our first experience at John Wong’s and will return.

I can't believe I've lived just down the street from this restaurant for years and have only recently tried it out. I was very impressed with the food and the ample portions leaving me with enough leftovers for my work lunch the next day. The ginger beef had just the right crisp and amount of sauce, sweet and sour pork was great, the fried rice is really good and they give you a lot! The wonton soup is hearty and the wontons are big with lots of meat. The ladies that took my order were always friendly and cheerful. Great customer service! This was my third time ordering from John Wong's in the last few months and it definitely won't be my last!

Old school chinese restaurant. Typical Chinese food fare, good selection. I got my order pretty quickly, probably because it was on an early monday evening, food was good. Always drove past it but never went in. Glad I did.
