more like 3.5 stars but I'll round up. classic canto cuisine. what can you say? it's solid. I will give them bonus points for having a lazy susan. geez, do you know how many chinese restaurants don't even have these things? or only have them at certain tables? tonight, i really liked the mixed mushrooms and tofu dish. I actually also liked the house special t bone steak, but chinese restaurants always overcook these, probably due to the fact that they are fried to get a crispy texture. dim sum here is also decent, but the beef rice noodle roll is not that good. neither are the xlb's.
I came here last night for dinner for early mother's day to avoid the crowd. It wasn't crowded at all, which was nice. The staff here were friendly and was accommodating.
The food here wasn't bad, but also at the same time it wasn't amazing. Food was brought out quickly, service was fast, but there was no wow factor to the food. This restaurant has been around for quite some time and during the busy days like the weekends you will definitely wait in line for dim sum.
This is the biggest Chinese restaurant in the Avenue U area, so this is the place to go if you want space and great service with very okay food.
I don't think this place is bad but I wouldn't pick this as my first choice of Chinese food in my neighborhood, that's for sure. My mom and I think the food is really oily and salty. But we went on Mothers Day last minute decision to go out and eat. We tried another restaurant nearby and was told no tables at all. So we went to Wing Hing to try. One of the waiters told us ok, five minutes someone is paying. We were a group of three people. An old couple came in and asked for a table for five. So when the table of five paid their bill and got up, we knew it was our turn and our table. But the old couple just walked straight towards that table, and the waiter who told us that table was going to be ours was about to give it to the old couple. But my mom walked quickly and sat down. Like don't get me wrong, I give up seats on the train for old people, help them on the streets and let them walk or leave first and I have no intention of fighting with old people for a table. But we were here first and the waiter was suppose to honor the fact that he told us it would be us next. So another table opened up and the stupid waiter told the old couple, this table is even better, bigger for your group of five. He also said "these mean people are like that nowadays". Very messed up. I was going to flip sh*t or some tables but I kept my cool.
The other waiters were fine and very nice. Just that one waiter, I guess he thought five people would probably give him more business and money than the three of us.
Anyways, we ordered some vegetable (dou miu) with garlic ($18.95), Beef with Hawaiian nuts ($18.95), oyster pot ($16.95), and then added another dish a bit after, the Mayonnaise shrimp with walnuts and broccoli ($18.95). The vegetable looked overcooked (all dead and droopy) when it came and it sure tasted overcooked. The beef with Hawaiian nuts was pretty good, just a bit salty. It had a lot of beef and Hawaiian nuts. But it also had a lot of celery and carrots (which I hate). The oyster pot had seven oysters in it with a lot of onions, scallions and ginger. No choy sum or lettuce, which usually comes on the bottom of this dish at most places. This one was also kind of salty and a bit oily. The mayonnaise shrimp was not the best I've had, didn't taste like it was just fried, already feeling a bit soggy. It came with broccoli and sugar coated walnuts (I liked it) and a few fried coconut cakes/ pastries. The whole dish got a bit too much for us, with the mayonnaise, the sugar from the sugar coated walnuts and the sweet fried coconut cakes/pastries. We got one bowl of rice ($1).
The food is not bad but like I've said, not the best around and not my first pick. I used to come here often for Dimsum and dinner but stopped because they kept switching bosses and chefs so things just went downhill. I still give it a three stars solely for the okay food.
Really enjoyed the dim sum here today. Based upon a write up in serious eats, I headed to Avenue U instead of East Harbor Seafood, which is my usual go-to for dim sum.
Not too much cart action here, but the quality was there. The shrimp dumplings were very tasty, but the real stand out was the peking duck sell for $12 dollars for a half order which was a meal in itself. I will definitely be back (also it is only a less than 10 minute drive from L & B Spumoni if you want to save room for dessert).
Nothing really great about this place. The duck is too oily and not crispy. One time it even had an odd aftertaste. The dim sum is inconsistent. Sometimes they leave out certain items on their tray cart for who knows how long, and when you get it, it's cold and dry on the outside.
Sadly, as one other reviewer pointed out, I'd have to agree; this might be the best dim sum place on Avenue U. The two things that I do like and recommend (and which they haven't screwed up yet) are the meatballs and the tripe in sauce. Warning, though — the brown stuff swimming around among the tripe is NOT meat, it's disgusting organs which you don't wanna put in your mouth!
They keep getting shut down for health violations, and then keep reopening under slightly different names, all with the word "Wing" somewhere in there. Definitely not recommended for those with a weak stomach.
Not exactly the best place for real Guangdong Chinese food but it's the best considering it's ave u on the east side. Coming here can be a hit or miss because servers can be annoying and not tend to you most of times. Dinner time they are a bit more friendly especially if you come as a family or group of 8 or more.
Their food I find a bit heavily salted but it's still good. There's the wok flavor but not so strong on the freshness. For the price I think it is moderate but I wouldn't really eat here. recommend 86th street or 8 th ave for yum cha and dinner instead.
Seating can vary. On weekdays it is empty so you can grab a seat anywhere. On holidays sometimes it is filled but often not. With many other restaurants in ave u This seems to serve better as a lunch take out place.
Best pan fried noodle ever!
Having frequented many Chinese restaurants in Chinatown and Brooklyn and having ate so many orders of pan fried noodle in my life (not for the faint of heart), this is the 1 item on their menu that absolutely stands out above any other restaurants. When it comes to pan fried noodles, it's ALL about the noodle and Wing Hing's pan fried noodle is fried to a crispy perfection. My pan fried noodle of choice is the one with Shredded Chicken. It's absolute heaven when you see the minced chicken and sauce poured over the noodle! It's not to say the other choices will be bad, but this is my favorite combination.
If you can stop yourself from ordering the pan fried noodle, Wing Hing is also extremely popular during weekend dim sum hours. It's the biggest and most crowded Chinese restaurant on Avenue U. Like many other Chinese restaurants, they provide the typical push cart dim sum service. I've never been a huge fan of coming here during dim sum hours because the crowds and the tight spacing inside, but if you dare, it's worth a try here as the dim sum is pretty good. They serve all of the everyday dim sum dishes you'd typically find in Chinatown.
During evenings the restaurant is pretty much empty, except the few families that come here for family dinner. However, you can drop by at any time and order the pan fried noodle!
