Wong’s Chinese Cuisine

10540 West Indiana School Road, Suite 4 Phoenix, Arizona 85037
(623) 877-4123

You’ve got to love a Chinese restaurant that is open 7 days a week and holidays, including Christmas. Wong’s Restaurant is your pick for a restaurant that truly cares about the dining experience. Rather than just doing the status quo, Wong’s prepares dishes in the way that they think is best. Instead of doing tiny chunks of chicken, Wong’s uses large, meaty slices of chicken in many of their dishes. Recently renovated, rest assured that you will dine in a clean and spacious environment. Instead of the spring rolls at so many Chinese restaurants, Wong’s offers true egg rolls, which are fantastic, fresh, and clearly not frozen from a box.
