Wong's Mandarin Restaurant

My family and I have a unique experience with this place. We have never set foot in this place! Yup! You read that right. BUT WE LOVE their garlic fried chicken! We order a platter, 25-50 pieces depending on what kind of party we're having. My FIL first introduced us to it. He used to live out that way and brought it to us once. It's been a staple at our family parties ever since. We live in Sacramento, order from this Lodi restaurant over the phone. Lisa always does a great job taking care of us when speaking with her. My FIL who lives with us now, will go and pick-up. We just ordered 25 pieces for Christmas and they were huge drumsticks pieces which the kids loved. Our guests have come to expect at our parties and will even ask if we'll be serving it as if their RSVP depended on it.. Giving 4 stars based on the fried chicken, but we've never been inside.

Friendly staff, healthy portions, easy to find, would definitely recommend. They also have a Buffett available

I was in Lodi on business!!!!When I got Hungry for Lunch!! I checked my Yelp Application and Wongs Popped up .So I rolled there!!!!Wongs Mandarin Restaurant is a Older Hole in the Wall Mom and Pop place.They do very Basic Chinese food and plates !!!I rolled in there like a Boss perused the Menu and ordered the Combination Chow Mien plate to go!!!!Due to Covid Protocols in place Mings does to go orders!!!They cooked my Order Fresh as I waited!!! 15 Minutes Later I had my food Piping Hot out of the Wok !!!!I was pleasantly surprised when I saw my Chow Mien !!!It was a generous size portions of Noodles and Meat and Shrimp!!!It was also packed full of Flavor and Tasty!!!If I was in the Hood , I certainly would return!!!!Asian Family Owned and Operated !!!Wong's Mandarin Restaurant is a Baller On a Budget Approved Establishment!!!!

Great value for the money everything tasted fresh and hot. Good food. Love the pot stickers and egg rolls. Will be back.

I stopped for lunch and was told I could either have the buffet or I could order from the menu menu. I checked out the buffet, and it looked OK so I gave it a try. It wasn't really that good. I consider myself a connoisseur of Chinese food, and this was just disappointing to me. The only thing that had flavor was the Kung pow chicken, and it was actually too spicy for me. There wasn't gravy for the egg and it was cold. The chow mein lacked flavor, as did the fried rice. The only good thing about it is that it was very inexpensive.

I hate to be mean, especially since they're a mom and pop shop, but this place was not good. My wife and I are new to the area and, after seeing positive Yelp reviews, we decided to give this place a try. Here was my experience:Positives - friendly customer service- massive food portions- very good priceNegatives- Food quality was awful. Literally everything, from the chow mein to the pork to the egg rolls, was dry and bland.- The restaurant smelt bad inside, akin to cat urine.- The garlic fried shrimp had fried chicken drumsticks inside it as well. Some may view this as a positive, but the food was so disappointing that we felt bad having to throw away more food.- When I walked in there was no one in the restaurant. Granted it was a Tuesday evening, but at 6:45pm you'd expect at least a couple of people to be there.- The area it's located is a little on the rough side with poor parking. This may not be their fault but it's something for customers to consider.In short, thought it had a great price with massive portions, the food was so poor that we ended up tossing 90% of it away. I hate giving bad reviews to small businesses and I really hope that they make it somehow, but until they start focusing more on quality and less on quantity I will never eat here again, nor can I recommend this place to anyone.

I chose white steamed rice, chow mein, honey walnut shrimp, with an egg roll. The food is actually flavorful, I would definitely come back! :) The cashier is super nice as well

The key to this place receiving 5 stars is Expectations. This is a little hole in the wall inexpensive restaurant. I no longer live in the area but I remember coming here 35 years ago and everything is pretty much exactly the same. This place isn't chic or healthy. This is old school Lodi/Stockton mom and pop Chinese food. The food is really good. They are super cheap and friendly. There food is a little greasy. I wouldn't eat it all the time; but that just makes it more of a treat!

I order the lunch special with fried shrimp. Portions were generous and flavor was very good!! Was happy they offered a vegetarian option on fried rice and chow mein for special! Restaurant clean and lady who took order was helpful ! I'm not sure what took me so long to try this place, but will be going back! My only critique was egg roll was a bit over cooked and no fortune cookie. But cookie wasn't described in order so maybe it wasn't included for $6.95. Much better than Panda Express if you want a meal for one person.

This is not the traditional Chinese dishes. It's what we call the American style Chinese food.
