Great ambiance. Loved the service. Best orange chicken I've had in Rochester. I would recommend this place for good, filling dishes, also much higher quality chicken than any local Chinese restaurant.

Wong's Cafe is an institution in Rochester. It is the first Chinese restaurant that opened in this city and has been going strong for over sixty years. It used to be in downtown Rochester. It moved to its current location a few years ago, which is around the block from where I used to live. When I lived in Rochester, I didn't order Chinese food much. I can probably count the number of times that I ate at Chinese restaurants on one hand. It wasn't my thing, mainly because I was interested in other cuisines and made Chinese food at home. I did know about Wong's Cafe when I moved to the city, thanks to ordering delivery during my first two weeks moving into my new surroundings. Its current location used to also be a Chinese restaurant. Although I could walk over there from my apartment, I never tried the food there. Every time I visit my old neighbourhood. I'd see the large Cantonese Wong's Cafe sign. I'm not sure why there was the need to add Cantonese to the name. I'm guessing that most Chinese eateries in Rochester have a combination of Cantonese, Hunan, and western items on the menu. Perhaps it offered more Cantonese items? After shopping at Target, I wanted to have dinner here. I drove over and parked in the lot. It's across from the Asian grocery store that I like. I walked in and was immediately greeted by a nice woman. I got a table in the dining area. There were a few folks eating dinner. I looked at the menu. Your best bang for your buck with variety is getting the Wong's family dinner. You get a choice of soup or an appetizer, and either pork fried or steamed rice. There are five different combinations to choose from. I ordered a Diet Pepsi. I also got combination 5 of Wong's family dinner. The soup was hot and sour. Appetizers consisted of your choice of egg rolls or fried crab rangoons. Aside: I despise seeing crab rangoons on a menu in a Chinese restaurant. It caters to western folks who enjoy cream cheese mixed with fake crab as filling. Cream cheese is not a staple in Chinese culture. I like it on bagels. You'll never see me make wontons and stuff them with cream cheese. Ick. So, I got the hot and sour soup. I have heard great things about their egg rolls. Next time, I'll give them a try. Combination 5 consists of Hunan beef, sweet and sour chicken, and pork fried rice. You can substitute the pork with whatever protein that you like if pork isn't your thing. My Diet Coke arrived first. It was cold and yummy. I got a refill during my meal. My hot and sour soup arrived next. It was delicious. I loved the chunks of tofu, mushrooms, and more. It was comforting and authentic. I was expecting my dinner to be all one one plate. Nope, it's fancy at this eatery. You get each item in silver vessels with stands and covers. It was a mini family-style meal. So cool! The pork fried rice was yummy. I loved the pork, onions, peas, and egg. It was flavourful and reminded me of how my mom makes fried rice. It was authentically delicious. The sweet and sour chicken surprised me. You got solid chunks of white chicken meat that were lightly battered and fried perfectly. The sweet and sour sauce was light and tangy. It wasn't overly sweet. I loved it. The Hunan chicken was yummy. I was asked how spicy I wanted it. I didn't how how spicy this place does dishes, so I went with mild. I could have done medium. The chicken and veggies were perfectly seasoned. I loved the flavours. The veggies included carrots, snow peas, onions, broccoli, mushrooms, celery, and baby corn. I loved the variety. Delicious! My server asked if I needed a box towards the end of my meal. I was confident that I could polish off everything. I did. The food here was so good. I got the bill and paid with a credit card. I signed the bill and tipped. Done! I used the washroom before I made the drive back to Eagan. It's a single stall and was clean. I wished the woman a great evening. I noticed the specials as I left. There was a beef flat noodle dish that sounded good. Next time! I'm so glad that I finally tried Wong's Cafe. The original owners have handed the baton to a former head chef. The tradition continues. I look forward to returning for more good food. (496)

We've been treating ourselves to Wongs for years, but no longer will do that. We ordered a to-go order this past week, got it home, and it even smelled odd. No where near what the original Wongs used to be in flavor, appearance, and price. Our bill was $28, and the food was put in the garbage...we should have learned from other reviews.
