House of Wong

Things have been crazy busy this past week, and we have hardly had time to even see each other, much less check out any new restaurants. We were in dire need of some groceries, and decided to go to the "fancy" Target in Roseville. Since everyone knows that you should never go grocery shopping on an empty stomach, we stopped at House of Wong for a quick supper.

House of Wong has been a long time food stop for my fiance; growing up, she went here every Friday and pretty much always got the chicken chow mein. It is the only place where she ever gets chow mein, so I guess that in itself is saying something. House of Wong is very much the stereotypical "asian" food restaurant. Dated decor, pretty cheesy music, some frozen ingredients (not all freshly made), but really affordable. Given this, if you know what to expect before going, you can get a great deal on a lot of food that is better than you would expect. I have usually get the orange chicken with fried rice, and it is good, plus you get a lot. When I say "a lot," I mean like two pounds of solid chicken. No pile of rice and veggies covered with a few pieces of chicken here-just a huge plate of orange chicken, and a seperate one with the fried rice.

 So, if you are ever in the Larpenteur-Lexington area of Roseville and want some good food at cheap prices with a lot of leftovers for the next day, check out House of Wong, and you might just find your new pre-grocery shopping food stop.
