Nancy Chang's use to be our go to Chinese restaurant in Worcester but not anymore. Having dined at the Wan Wang many times now I can tell you they are the best.
Our most recent experience was on Christmas Eve. We had reservations for 4, and despite a very busy evening we were seated promptly upon arrival. Drink orders were taken quickly and our server immediately brought 4 waters to the table, our drinks arrived soon after.
We started with two different Maki Rolls, The Pink Lady and Caterpillar Maki along with an order of Spicy Crab Rangoon. Both rolls were delicious and gorgeously presented on a multi level wood set of steps. The Pink Lady was the surprise hit.... All 4 of us agreed.
Another reviewer complained the Spicy Rangoon's to be bland with no jalepeno, perhaps the kitchen messed up and gave them regular ones because I can assure you, ours were quite flavorful and had just the right amount of heat. My daughter who is quite the afficiando of Spicy foods, both Asian and Mexican enjoyed them fully and noted the distinct flavor of the Jalepeno!
On my recommendation, my daughter ordered the Ramen Noodle Soup with Pork Belly, and asked for spicy broth. She absolutely loved it. If you enjoy an authentic Ramen Noodle Soup you've got to try it at the Wan Wang.
My wife and I split an order of Mongolian Sizzling Beef and an order of Pork Egg Foo Young.... first, the EFY.... absolutely delicious, the Wan changes up the usual luscious brown gravy and kicks it up with what I believe is something similar to a peanut sauce. Really really delicious, and just different enough to make it memorable.
The Sizzling Beef was out of this world! Perfectly cooked and melt in your mouth tender with a delicious sauce. Served along a side of plain white rice, we used the rice as a bed and pilled the Sizzling Beef on top. Delish!
Even though it was a very busy night and like every other business around, they are running very short staffed, the crew at the Wan still managed to provide pretty dam good service. To be critical, the one and only hicup of the evening was the delay of time from when my daughter and her boyfriend were served their main course ( they both ordered the Ramen Noodle Soup) to when my wife and I were served our meal. The owners wife, passing by the table noticed this and quickly went to kitchen, we were presented our dishes very quickly after that.
I've enjoyed the Wan Wang many times now, good friendly service, owners who obviously take pride in what the do, great food, excellent sushi... Maybe not the absolute best in the city, but right up there near the top. Fair food and drink prices and a great atmosphere. I fully recommend the Wan Wang!
