A small hole in the wall serving Chinese food is classified as Americanized. The menu items were nicely portioned and reasonably priced. It is near Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport and ASU.
I like their sweet and sour soup, general tso's chicken and their crab rangoons. Carry out is always ready in time and the staff is friendly.
Fast and friendly service. The food is really good. I recommend the beef egg foo young, the Kung pao chicken and the Wong Tong soup.
For the past three years I have been on a hunt to find a Chinese restaurant that had the best egg drop soup, pan fried noodles, and orange chicken. I have actively gone to a new place every other month and Big Wa has put an end to my search. Great service, clean atmosphere, and amazing food/prices. I got the lunch special orange chicken that included an egg roll fried rice and a soup. the pan fried noodles aren't too thick the broth was perfect consistency and their egg drop soup had a generous amount of egg with the perfect shade of yellow. The orange chicken is crispy and the sauce is amazing. The egg roll was lacking in flavor but most likely because it was the cabbage veggie one instead of with meat which I know will be great. I look forward to trying more from big wa and going back again soon
this place was nearly a 30 min drive from where i live and let me tell you it's 100% worth it, the food was hot and fresh, everything tasted delicious, the only thing i didn't like here was the soy sauce it's wayyyyy too salty so make sure you add one drop first so you can finish your dish, so i got the kung pao shrimp lunch special which came with that egg drop soup and the kung pao with rice on the side, the sauce for the kung pao was spicy and flavorful, on the spice level i would rate it a 5/10 spicy, overall experience was a 10/10 the customer service was quick and very attentive the whole time, this place could use a lil more lighting it's really dark in there
Feels like home. We've been several times and have gotten take out as well. Our go to spot used to be Hong Kong Diner on Ray and Rural so if you liked theirs- this is similar We recently changed it up due to Lent and our dishes hit the spot. We usually get the beef and broccoli or wonton soup but this time we got the vegetable lo mein, shrimp fried rice, and egg drop soup with crispy wonton skins. The fried rice was fluffy and fragrant. Service was prompt as the two waiters were managing lots of to go orders as well as the dining patrons. Ambiance is nice but typical for a Chinese American restaurant. Will always be back (:
