Dave Wong's Restaurant

My family loves going to Dave Wong for dinner. We typically order the chow mien, lemon chicken, rice. Every now and then I mix it up with Kung Pow chicken or something else. The parking can fill up but somehow there's availability for a table. The restaurant is split into a dining area and a bar area. The bar does offer table service if you're interested in being on the more social side.

We have eaten her and take out from deli for at least 27 years. But we have noticed in last couple of years the food quality has gone down drastically. Tonight ordered from deli. There was at least an inch of grease on bottom of the pan that held the garlic chicken. Same with the ribs. Actually tasted like old fishy oil. The chow mein was also so greasy with same taste. Wah won ton soup. A few won tons. No vegetables or shrimp. That's why we pay the extra. Rice was only thing basically edible. Oh and the fortune cookies. I think Panda is much better for 1/4 the price. Very disappointed. I heard Wong family no longer a part of the restaurant so that may explain why it's so bad.Ok. 3 hours later here is an update. Both my husband are sick!!!!! I'm guessing possible the old fishy grease fried chicken and ribs cooked in. Also the chow mein. I tossed all left overs and we will no longer be customers of Dave Wong's. So sad an institution of Stockton has allowed their standards to fall so low.

I've NOTICED the Chicken (Thighs and Legs) are much larger than a normal CHICKEN. ALSO their are EXTRA BONES in each piece.This seems suspect to me.Perhaps someone can help me understand why a chicken is this LARGE and has more BONES THAN A NORMAL CHICKEN.Please let someone else know.

1st off I can't believe I hadn't written a review of Dave Wong's...I have been coming here for years and moved away. Came here last week and to be honest I was generous with the 3 star. To start service was very awkward. Not very friendly, didn't speak great English to understand her and almost zero personality. To start my daughter asks for a drink menu they don't have one even though they have a full bar. Then she asks how about some specialty drinks she couldn't tell us and said they didn't have any? For this part to be honest 1 star. Food was just ok...over sauced and not greta flavors like I remembered. Atmosphere and ambience inside is always good but the lack of service and flavor in the food wouldn't have me rushing back. I remember this place as such a treat and left this week feeling ripped off of a memory.

We have ate from this establishment a couple of times now. The food is great and service is good. The environment is great as well. I would highly recommend this if you are around the area.

5/5 experience at Dave Wong's! This was our first time here and we couldn't have asked for better service. We chose the bar area in order to be seated faster, and we are so glad we did! The bar room is so cute and clearly a local favorite. We were enjoying watching others mingle with the staff as if they're there every night.Our food was fantastic! We asked our waitress for recommendations since we had never been there and we were happy with our plates. I think my favorites were the fried rice and the egg rolls (not pictured). My lemon drop was also great! Overall, we really enjoyed our experience and would love to come back!

Dave Wongs was my forever go to for Chinese food. However, since they sold the restaurant, the quality of the food has gone way down, & like everywhere else, the prices went up. If the food was still great, I wouldn't mind the price increase. Unfortunately we rarely eat there, or do takeout.

Way overpriced, small ass portions, service lacks, parking sucks, as it's the same for the Dave Wongs actual restaurant, Starbucks and Chase, it's very small. I personally wouldn't be back. It's a deli only, for take out. They have no seating inside or outside, unless eating at their restaurant which is attached but has a separate entrance. I don't see what the hype is or how they have so many good reviews. Again, to each their own, maybe what's bad for me, will be good for you. Rice was not cooked all the way, on hard side, lacked flavor. Their pot stickers were legit thicker than a snicker! Like my goodness the wrap was so thick and just completely soggy, the filling lacked flavor. Huge disappointment. You're better off eating at Panda Express, no cap!

Two Words: SHANGHAI RIBS‼‼‼ Ambiance, customer service & food was everything I prayed it would be 10/10‼

The consistency of this place is off the charts. It was heartbreaking when they had to close during COVID. I'm there all the time and always have a great experience - the food, the ambience, and especially Michael as my server.
