Back in the day, I actually knew John Wong. When I was young, in elementary school, I used to habitually hang out with his little boy. Everyday at lunch, I would go to his house to play video games at lunch. And on occasion, we would be taken to Mr. Wong's restaurant where we were treated like royalty.
I remember going in through the back made me feel ridiculously important. Mind you, I was probably no older than nine or so.
The place is still there today serving the same delicious Chinese food I remember so fondly from my youth. The place even feels the same when I go in there. They offer take out and everything. I don't know who owns it now, but it's definitely one of my old haunts...dating back a long long time ago. -

I needed something to eat one afternoon before work, and I was just craving Chinese. I drove past John Wong's and was immediately filled with hope.
Sadly, it wasn't the greatest experience I've ever had at a Chinese restaurant. I waited for almost 5 minutes before someone came out to seat me and take my order, and the place empty. By the time they got to me I had already flipped through a take-out menu and decided on what I wanted.
It didn't take long for them to bring me my beef chop suey and vegetables with black bean sauce, but it really shouldn't have since I was the only one in there. The food was fine. Not the absolute best, but fine. Once I was finished it, once again, took them a while to bring me my cheque. I felt bad giving a lower than normal tip, but I truly thought the service was crummy.
They've got the regular Chinese food deals: free delivery within 5km, free item with purchase over $30, dinner for one, two, three, etc. I probably won't be stopping by John Wong's for my next lunchtime Chinese craving. It just wasn't that great.
