Dave Wong's Restaurant & Deli

5 stars for service, The food was cheap, But i didn't really like it. We got the Family meal. Sweet and sour pork weird after taste and almond chicken didnt have flavor.The chow mein was good. Tables are way to close to each other. I felt awkward leaving because how close I was to the next tables food.. we were seated on the left side of restaurant. Food was out in 3 minutes no lie, the presentation was cute. I loved the service it was good.

They sat us in the middle of the restaurant and the cold air was cold whenever anyone came in and out. Bartender was great. Server seemed irritated with everything we did and said. Apps came with the meal instead of before. Prices were quite reasonable. Some dishes were good (garlic prawns, garlic chicken). Charred veggie dish was great. Others were ok but a little strange veering on the sweeter side which was unexpected (black pepper chicken and others). Dishes were plentiful.

Tid bits app completely devoid of any flavor. S&S sauce is terrible -clear color with strong vinegar. BBQ Pork was off, fried green beans had no taste, and rangoons lack of crispness and flavor. Waste of money. Mu shu pork isn't on the menu. But they will make it, and it's OK. Also garlic fried chicken is ok. Mongolian beef isn't. While the beef is very tender, the sauce is not even remotely hot. This dish is a saucy ginger or oyster beef- without the ginger. If you love MB don't order this. The chicken fried rice & house chowmein tasted old. I would put $ on them going over to the deli side and scooping them out of a vat that's been sitting there for hours. While the service was very good. It is basically 3 entrees, 2 sides, an app, and one soda - Over $100 w/tip. Sadly I was thinking for that price I could get 3 feasts over at Panda, and would have way more food and better quality ingredients......

This place is not what it used to be. The service is lacking. I asked her a very basic question because my son wanted teriyaki chicken and asked her if she had something comparable and she got an attitude and started yelling in her language and walked away from me. After that, another worker had to come and check me out. The chow mein had so much onion in it, & there was very little noodle. The last few times we’ve ate here I haven’t been impressed so this will be our last time. When I return to work, I told my coworkers what I ate for lunch and they all agreed that they don’t eat there anymore because it’s not what it used to be. Sucks because I don’t know any good places in Stockton for Chinese anymore.

Kung Pao lunch special was good. Service was good

We always go at this place to eat. We always dine in with family of 4. The food taste so delicious. The waiters are so friendly and polite. The prices on the menu are not to high.Always we still have some food to take home. I recommend this restaurant to my family and friends. Now I'm reserving with this restaurant to do my business. You can have a close room for 10 to 12 people.

I could have went to China Gourmet or Hong Kong here in modesto to get the same quality. The food isn't terrible but it's far from a 4 star review. The one thing that was excellent was the lemon chicken. That's the only reason I can't give a 1 star overall review. Hospitality is great and the restaurant itself is very nice. The quality of the food is nowhere near the price tag though.

I had a very good lunch I tend to like more veggies in my dishes so I wish the meat dishes had a little more options in that had vegetables, it was fantastic the meat was tender and good quality. The servers were very nice. I will definitely eat here again. There were some vegetarian options. But I do like a little meat. I'm sure had I asked they would have accommodated me.

Dave Wong's is good Chinese Food! We don't get good Chinese food...where we live... so we have to Stop in Stockton anytime we're driving through. The service is also Excellent!! Nice & helpful staff. Great mood & ambiance. Nice Bar to enjoy too!

Believe it or not this place was recommended by one of our pastors. He mentioned that the Lemon chicken was the best and a must try. I ended up visiting soon after with a party of 3. The place was pretty busy. Lots of reservations and large parties. It wasn't long before we got sat. The main dining area was packed so we got sat in the farther back area with larger parties. Server was friendly. Ordered the lemon chicken, house chowmein, egg Rolls (Chicken) and the Mongolian beef. I recommend sharing the plates if that's your thing. The portions were large and the food was really good!

It has been several years since I have been here. This used to be the BEST Chinese food but the quality has gone way down. First time in 10 years that I have sent food back. We didn't have them replace it. Most of the dishes had a funny taste. It seems like they are using cheaper ingredients. Service was polite but slow and we got left at our table for 20 minutes. I have been here over 50 time but I don't think I'll be back.

Fresh tasty dishes with fresh ingredients. Very accommodating wait staff. The place offers a very personal feel inside. They also have personal enclosed booths for privacy upon request. Also if you are in a hurry, they have a fast food hot item limited menu store attached. We always enjoy our visits. Fair pricing

Ooooh I haven't been to Dave Wong's since it was located on Pershing Ave. That was many moons ago. But fast toward to today, and it's good to hear that this iconic restaurant is still operating n Stockton, CA. Over 45 years and still going strong, serving up classic Cantonese dishes in a beautiful elegant setting with top notch customer service. I have to mention again, the menu is Cantonese. It's not Hunan, Sichuan or any of the other five major Chinese cuisines. With that said, Cantonese food has a delicate, milder taste than the other cuisines since the focus is on fresh, natural ingredients versus heavy on sauces, spices. We ordered battered fried string beans, fried chicken, pork ribs, egg rolls, chicken salad, ginger beef, Mongolian beef, chicken chow fun, beef chow fun, honey walnut shrimp, hot n sour soup, and wonton soup. My faves were the soups, honey walnut shrimp, and beef chow fun. The hot n sour had the right amount of vinegar giving it a subtle flavorful sour taste. The honey walnut shrimp had a mild sweet flavor with a cream sauce made of condensed milk, the walnuts were candied. Yum. The beef chow fun was classic tasting. The beef was so tender. The food was tasty but being an out of towner, I wouldn't go out of my way do a destination dinner. Our group of 14 had a room in the back of the restaurant. We made a reservation. The setup is pretty nifty, the room walls are modular on ceiling slider tracks. The wall panels slide about to configure rooms of various sizes and to create a hallway. The main dining room is beautiful, modern design giving off upscale vibes. They have booths, along the side walls, with curtains. So nostalgia old school but done in a modern style. Classic. Ambiance is through the roof. The service and ambiance outshined the food. Dave Wong is located on March Lane off Interstate 5. They've been at this location since 2002. They have a restaurant and a to-go hot food counter, just like the original location. They are in two different areas of the same building, and have separate entrances not accessible to each other.

We used to take our children here when they were little. My now 33 year old daughter asked about the Chinese food place we took them as kids with the curtains in Stockton. We currently live in the Sacramento area. So yesterday, we took a trip to Dave Wong's. It was great going down memory lane with her. They even sat us in a booth with the curtains! The hot tea was flavorful. She remembered adding sweetener to the tea as a kid and felt fancy drinking it. All the dishes we ordered came out freshly prepared. All scrumptious! She already wants to go back again. We HIGHLY recommend the lemon chicken! Calamari was prepared perfectly too. Great service!

Very rude ladies who answer the phone for to go orders. They charge extra for every single thing. I didn't want meat in my fried rice so I asked for garlic egg fried rice and they wanted to charge me $2.00 extra for garlic?!??? That's absolute crazy. I used to love coming here but they have seemed to become way too greedy with extra charges. There are way too many great spots in Stockton with similar food to get charged extra for nothing and rude service.

Food and service there are amazing. We ordered 6 dishes for a 5-people table, and everything was pretty good.

I love the food here and the ambiance! The food is priced well, always fresh tasting, and I love the seating area where u can close the blinds for a private experience, if u choose. It's always nice when I come I will be back soon!

Wonderful place for a couple people, groups and I'm sure take out is good!! Walk ins are friendly and I came here with my girl friends and we were seated almost immediately as I have been in past. The hostess working was so nice to us! Wonderfully treated by everyone and immaculate service just like the last time I was here, and the time before that! We ordered a bunch of different items and all of them were absolutely delicious! We ordered the hot and sour soup, the fried chicken, the string bean chicken, the combination fried rice, the Mongolian beef (non spicy) and the cream cheese wontons. I am always pleased how each dish is packed with flavor. The ambiance for lunch was cute but casual. I would say it was a little loud but that's okay it was just us girls having fun. This restaurant is amazing and a 10/10 I'm already thinking about the delicious hot and sour soup!!! Yum!!

Sat in the bar area. it is dark in there. had the house cab which was fine. Not a lot of beer to choose from. Just basics. had the shrimp kung Pao. it was so delicious. Ordered a small cup of rice to go with it. Amanda in the bar was very nice and we laughed a bit together so it was nice. She was very busy. I'd definitely go back... they also have a to go "deli" style you can get stuff quicker and to go only. It's around corner from entrance.

Love this Chinese food restaurant. All the food is high quality and very tasty. The place has a feel like your in chinatown somewhere. Very nice ambiance inside. A perfect place to take the family, friends or a dinner date. They even have private rooms for bigger parties. They have a few private booths you can even close the curtains and have privacy in the main dinning room. The price is fair, the good is excellent, the service is great. What more can you ask for. I dont eat pork so I got the Emperors Dinner for 2 that comes with lemon chicken, garlic shrimp, shrimp fried rice and tempura fried asparagus. We got Thai chicken wings and fried prawns appetizers also. Everything was delicious. They even have a separate entrance for a deli with food to go. They are easy access right off the freeway. I love everything about this place. I highly recommend it.

Pretty good food, could be better. This place needs some serious cleaning and the servers to be more attentive. I would like to give this place another try. Hopefully the quality, customer service and sanitation changes.

I come to the Dave Wong's deli almost every week and usually have a great experience. Their prices are reasonable, portions are decent, and it's a convenient go-to spot for a quick meal. However, my most recent visit left me a bit confused. I stopped by for an evening dinner and was met with a rather curt interaction from the gray-haired lady at the counter. I asked for a two-item combo, which has always been an option--even just a few weeks ago--but was told it no longer exists. Instead, I was informed that I had to pay for a three-item combo and get a double portion of something, which didn't quite make sense to me. Their website states no change. See my screenshot of their online menu. Additionally, I noticed some inconsistency with how extra sauce charges were handled. Some customers were charged $0.18 per container for sweet-and-sour sauce, while others were not. It would be nice to have a clear, uniform policy on this. They have asparagus in season right now and give you small ends of it rather than full strands. No pricing found on the menu but that it's simply a "special." Another small issue is the checkout process. Whether you order ahead by phone or walk in, everyone has to go through the same line, meaning calling ahead doesn't necessarily save you any time. Despite these minor frustrations, I'll continue to come to Dave Wong's because it's convenient and generally a solid spot. A few small improvements in consistency and customer service would make the experience even better.

Decent Chinese food in Stockton, black pepper jumbo prawns were delicious. The garlic fried chicken was very good too. Fast efficient service and overall good food.

really excellent food and service and we are looking forward for our next visit with our family

One of Stockton's best Chinese food spots for people from Stockton. Otherwise it's decent and great date spot, nothing crazy concerning flavor or food options as someone who just moved back here. Best bang for buck is picking up from deli! Cheap fast food there that is top legit!

We've been to Dave Wong's for many years. Food and ambiance is always excellent! The Staff and waiters are very fast and polite and courteous. The flavors of Dave Wongs food is amazing. My favorites are won ton soup, wor won ton soup, garlic chicken, broccoli beef, walnut shrimp and House Chow mein. I recommend them, you will not be disappointed!

Service was quick, potstickers were great, but the other food, like the chow mein were mid, and prawns were downright bad. Sweet and sour pork is awful . But the boring and quiet ambience and unneeded seriousness from waiters makes this a worse experience.

When we opened the door and stood to the right by the chair, the lady at the register said hi 6x. After saying hi the first time it was a little awkward since we were the only ones in the deli. We ordered a couple of combinations and Beef Chow Fun. The lady called our number and had to check our number, again we were the only ones in there. Without being mean, I have no idea how this place is in business. Flavorless, and absolutely not good. Three of us are and all agreed we will never eat here again.

I stop here for lunch when I'm in the area and wanting Chinese food. They make food consistently in the deli so you know it's fresh. When you walk in, you can see all the food lit up under the heat lamps. You take it they take your order and the order is up in about five minutes. I got their lunch combo, chow mein, fried rice and garlic fried chicken for $8.30. It's a good amount for that price. You gotta check it out.

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.

I want to take the time to write this review specifically for the fantastic customer service we received from Michael. We came to dinner for our mom's birthday celebration--a large party of 12 people. We dined in at 3:30 and were welcomed with smiles. He made this dinner celebration an easy transition from ordering to receiving the food! I appreciate your kind service! Food was also delicious!!

The area I currently live in does not have good Chinese food; therefore, whenever I'm in the Stockton area I have to stop at Dave Wong's for chow fun and a berry margarita. The chow fun is delicious and the margaritas are made perfect. The staff are very friendly and polite. This place is perfect for dining alone, dates and friends getting together. I highly recommend if you are in the area to stop by and get a bite to eat.

I've been to this restaurant several times and they've consistently provided great service and excellent food. For appetizers I've ordered the Thai chicken wings which are very flavorful and tasty, the BBQ pork are the most tender I've ever had, and the potstickers are cooked to perfection with a dipping sauce so delicious I could drink it! For entrees I've ordered (come in huge portions plenty for leftovers) are always steaming hot, I've ordered the crab fried rice which has real fresh crab in it, the chow mein with BBQ pork, and the Sichuan Beef which is spicy and utterly delicious! Everything comes out fast, piping hot and very fresh - made to order! The staff is always friendly and accommodating, they keep the place clean, and the overall ambiance is very good. The vibe of the bar is more casual and the restaurant is more dressy, something for everyone!

I love the combination won ton soup!! I like to make mine really spicy and sour always my fav quick grab

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!

Delicious food Great service Ambiance pleasant Reasonably priced for a satisfied customer : )) Smart business

I've been going to Dave Wong's for probably over last 10 years and recently every time I go it seems like a lot of the dishes that I get regularly like the Kung Pao beef or some of the dishes with chicken have very little flavor and there's never any consistency. They always taste different every time. Although the service and waiters are always so attentive and very helpful, I just think that whoever is the main chef's in the back kitchen are just not the same as they used to be so kind of disappointed they need to really make improvements with their chefs.

Food was terrible, is never consistent. Service was slow, the waiter never came back to the table after the order was done.

Quick and easy service. It's always really dark in here but they recently added TV menus. This is a take our restaurant so there's no restroom or area for dinning in. Most of the food is deep fried or grilled. The chicken was crunchy and juicy. The chowmein was greasy but flavorful. Their hot chili sauce harder than most places.

I have been going to Dave wongs in Stockton for many yrs.I live in sac and drive 1 hr to stocton just to get there foil wrapped chicken and deep fried prawns.They also have great chicken chow men and chinese style bbq ribs.Its highly recommended by many people ! Its worth the drive if you want the best chinese food you can buy.

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!

Most amazing Chinese!! Chow mein with sprouts, Barbecue pork, won ton, pot sticker all the very best

Always great food Fresh wholesome food The garlic chicken is to die for. Probably the best Chinese food in the county

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 primarily use the deli for takeout. Our staples and kung pao chicken, chicken fried rice, fried green beans, crab rangoons and lemon chicken. But I LOVE reserving a table at their private booths for girls night. Both the restaurant and deli have quick service. The portions are big and the food is always piping hot. When in the restaurant they assign a server to basically your every need. They are so attentive! And kind!

Went here for lunch and the food was so GOOD!! The portions are a bit small considering that it's a lunch plate. Other than that, the flavors were amazing and the service was great too! It's nice and clean inside and there's a lot of space for large groups of guests.

Good food at reasonable prices. I like the Wok-fried green beans with white meat chicken. The spicier dishes can be a little salty. Always busy for a lot of good reasons.

The food here used to be good. Since the change of ownership the quality has changed, as the food is now mediocre. The staff are still friendly and the vibe of the restaurant is still the same.

Garbage- same as 15 years ago- Just not a great place for vegetarians which is odd for Asian food but cool- keep your crappy noodles this is still so bad .... No- dont do this

Their garlic chicken, Mongolian, beef and fried rice are to die for i've been eating here for years since I was a little girl some of the best Chinese food in Stockton

one of the best Chinese food restaurants I've been to food is amazing. Very fresh atmosphere is very nice and the service was amazing. Definitely recommend coming here. here every time I visit Stockton. It's a must goto place.

Food: they were good; tried the beef chow fun, tidbits appetizer and garlic fried chicken Service: it was pleasant and very attentive Ambiance: it was nice. Roomy, dark, very formal Overall: it's a good restaurant, if you like to eat a fancy chinese fast food, this is the spot. I would return here and try other items on the menu.

I went to have lunch today with a friend and the service was great. The set up is also nice they have private rooms to eat which is awesome. The food was great and the price is reasonable. Will be back soon.

We have been eating at Dave Wongs for more than 15 years. This is by far one of the most amazing Chinese food restaurants you will ever taste. Truly this is fine dining! One of the things we love about Dave Wongs is that each dish has it's own unique flavor. Unlike the run of the mill Chinese food places, Dave Wongs dishes are a unique signature of fresh ingredients, flavorful herbs and spices with careful preparation in each dish. Honestly, this is one of the best dining experiences you will ever have. We travel 40 minutes one way to enjoy their food. It is well worth it!

We have been going to Dave Wongs for years even though we do not live in town. However, whenever in town, we try to drop in. Always tasty and a crowd-pleaser in the past. My wife and I recently had dinner there. We started with two Mai Thai - they were mostly syrup and looked light in color. We sent them back and got a white wine. We ordered the Wong's Moo Goo Guy - it was plain with no vegetables (we remember it having snap peas). Then, Prawns in garlic sauce - this was almost cold with mushrooms that were chewy like they had been rehydrated. Vegetable chow mein was ok yet like most of the meal was bland and had little flavor or spice. Service was attentive as there was no one there. We had been looking forward to this experience, but it was nothing like we remembered. Sadly, I do not think we will be returning. Server reported that they had a new bartender but that didn't explain the abysmal food showing. Sad.

Let me start by saying this is my first time coming to this place and will be my last time. I decided to get take out for my family of 5 and for the price I thought the portions would be big, to my surprise they were small. We ordered 2 fried rice, beef and broccoli, house chow mein, sweet and sour pork and fried shrimp. My ratings for the food: Chow mein 3/5 Fried Rice 3/5 Beef and broccoli 2.5/5 Sweet and sour pork 1/5 Fried shrimp 1.5/5 Like I stated before I will not be back for decent expensive food with small portions.

Ok let me say as long as I've been in this area I have never been to this place since they moved to March lane location!!! I've heard good things about it and as of today I had to try it out!!! Ok first thing is the ambiance is great!! Love the look!!! Service was really good and not a long wait for food!!! The taste of food was really good and not pricey like I thought it was!! They give you good size portions!! We will definitely be back here soon to try to get that next star!!! If you want good food with good atmosphere!! Then check this out !! I took only one pic this time but will take more next time!!!
