Hing Wang Restaurant

Genuinely my favorite hole-in-the-wall in all of Chicago. We don't need to talk about how much I've been here - it would embarrass you because you've never been that committed to anything. You don't go here to hang; you go here to slap exactly $17 in cash on the counter, tell them you came to pick up a large order of BBQ pork fried rice, and then leave to go and house that on your own because you deserve it goddammit. Seriously though, this place has no vibe, just take your magical tasting food and go home with it. They put all their effort into flavor and don't need to be bothered by how their restaurant made your insta story look. This also may seem expensive for fried rice, but this is some of the best stuff in the city, and one order is easily two meals - they heap the portions so big that it barely fits in the containerNote: There's an ATM if you forgot cash

I was on the hunt for best fried rice in the city and Yelp and Reddit led me here--they were NOT wrong. The fried flavor is delicious, this is the kind of fried rice I dream of. It's definitely a lowkey hole in the wall spot, but it is clean inside. I even saw the cashier cleaning the floors while I was waiting. I wouldn't stick around, but there were people eating at tables. The reviews saying the service is awful had me nervous, but honestly I didn't find anyone rude or unwelcoming. It's just a busy, no frills spot so be ready to order and give them the cash and you won't have any issues. I did find a few tiny egg shells in the big egg parts so that's my only downside. The spicy sauce is really spicy but it has good flavor so I like a tiny dip. Huge portions, right off the Wilson red line stop, delicious flavor, and short wait while it's made fresh.

If you really want to talk about a hole-in-the-wall, this is it. It's a true gem. I wouldn't say it's the best fried rice I've ever had like some other reviewers said, but it's definitely up there. When you walk in, it's very unassuming and lowkey janky, but the staff really whip up some bomb food here! They absolutely packed up my fried rice combination to the brim of the to-go container so I really felt like I got my monies worth. The place had some seedy looking people sitting around and I'm not surprised given its location right next to the Wilson Red/Purple line station, but that didn't phase me. The food was excellent!Just a note, this place is *CASH ONLY* but they do have an ATM inside just in case! I'll be back!

Gross & not worth the price. Go to in-on Thai if you want good take out. That's all I have to say.

Hands down the best fried rice I have had anywhere! I ordered the combination fried rice and had them put the spicy sauce on the side just in case I didn't like it. It actually gave it just a little kick without too much heat or spice. Highly recommend. It was great without the sauce so either way you can't go wrong. This is not a place I would have ever thought to get food from and probably wouldn't go there at night. But if you can get past the not so great ambiance and order to go, I promise you won't regret it! Cash only. I also had the orange chicken and egg rolls both were good. I have enough food for 3 meals. I don't usually write reviews but I've had a hard time finding reasonable priced Chinese food in this city that is edible. I've finally found my go to!!!

Going by the décor, I didn't have a lot of expectations when I walked in. But boy, was I in for a surprise. Hands down the best fried rice I have ever had, and I've had some really good ones in different countries. Don't let the outside fool you, the food here is absolutely amazing!

Fried rice here is fire! Best in Chicago! Recommend spicy combination fried rice! You will thank me, it wont disappoint!

I was at HW last week... I was at the counter - giving my order and I saw a cook wipe his nose and face - then put that hand in the cooler of white rice - scoop up the rice and throw it into the wok... Absolutely disgusting.... The restaurant has numerous State Health code violations... now I know why.... The kitchen is filthy, and the cooks don't care.... I ordered white rice, and I asked the man if they could use a utensil to scoop out my white rice - I told him I saw the employee use his hand... he gave the excuse that the wok will kill any bacteria.... an absolute lie.... Will never go again...

Excellent environment and good food , perfect service and the chicken fried rice is the best

Best rice on the north side of Chicago Perfectly mad would definitely recommend ...........
