Wan’s Garden

**Plus one star for the sweet family running this place!**
The food/​atmosphere was not impressive — this is a take-​out place.
The food here was very fresh! Nothing was over or undercooked and the veggies have that crunch you want.
Dumplings were too thick and the spicy food did not register as even mildly spicy, but I have a high tolerance. Hot and sour soup was not spicy, but is not too sweet, so that’s good.
*6 days later* #leftoverchallenge
We re-​vamped the Hot and Sour soup with about a 6^th of a bottle of sriracha per small bowl… We also put siriacha all over everything else as we realized how much the food needed more spice and perhaps different seasoning…

I give 5 stars to Wan’s garden because not only is the food great but both of the owners always greet you with a smile and hello and truly appreciate our business. If you like boneless spare ribs they are unreal here. I also order the sesame chicken, Hunan beef, any kind of soup, any kind of fried or white rice.

I wanted to try other places in the area but they were all cash only.
So we went with Wan’s Garden because it has decent reviews. I wasn’t impressed. The Hot and Sour Soup was very oily, and had morsels of pork floating all throughout the soup. The Lo Mein was pretty flavorless. The egg roll was REALLY soggy, not crunchy at all. The Sesame Chicken sauce was really goopy. Also the chicken was not crispy at all on the outside.
But the one good thing I can say is the Sesame Chicken was mostly all white meat on the inside. Sometimes with that dish and General Tso’s, it’s a little scary looking inside the meat. So I was pleased with this.
I would probably order this again to satisfy a Chinese urge, if this was the only option. But I am definitely looking forward to exploring the area’s options more and finding the best place around.

This place has the best Chinese food in Ridgewood. Not only is the food good but the people who own and run it are super nice. If you ask for something they will do it. I live closer to Mr. Chen but they are not nearly as nice and the food does not compare. If you live in Ridgewood give this place a try you will not regret it ;-).

Very good boneless ribs. Sweet and meaty unlike other restaurants that serve gelatins fat strips as boneless ribs. Rest of the menu is really good. I recommend this place.

Best Chinese food on this part of Forest. Good service, great flavor. I’ll go back.

I ordered 2 combo meals today and while the food tasted «ok» the experience was less than ok. The order was delivered which was fast, but they only included 2 soy sauces and 2 duck sauces for the 2 meals, and only 1 Pepsi! They didn’t even ask what type of soda I wanted, had the asked I would have gotten a diet Pepsi, but again for some reason only one was sent. My friend had gotten an upset stomach from the General Tso chicken also, so just a heads up. I got the chicken and broccoli combs and it was heavy on rice, light on chicken and broccoli and barely any sauce. So the extra soy sauce was critical but I had only one tiny packet. Luckily I had a bottle in the fridge and that saved the dry meal. Seems like the staff is cheep and tries to cut corners.

I ordered so much from this Chinese food place, that I became obese and started speaking Mandarin at home!
jokes aside, this place has regularly satisfied my hunger needs over 17 years living here.

Honestly, I’m not a huge fan of (American) Chinese food, so it’s tough to rate this place. For the genre, I suppose it is good– the service was very friendly and the place seems clean enough if spartan.
That said, I still feel like I just ate a tub of salty goo, and wish I’d just gotten Thai food instead.

no msg. no burnt rice. pretty fresh. courteous & efficient. Not super original food and not fantastic ambiance to sit in, but good for ordering out. They always know your name.

One of the better Chinese spots in the area

This is my favorite Chinese place to order out from. The people who pick up the phone actually understand what I want, get my orders correct and they are super friendly (they always remember our address and say hello now when we call). The food is actually really spectacular for Chinese take out. It is not greasy at all and fresh. I tried all the other Chinese take out in Ridgewood, and be far this is the best.

This is the only Chinese restaurant I order from. It’s clean, the workers are nice and the food taste good and non-​greasy.

Compared to China Garden a couple of blocks away, this place rocks. The food is so much fresher and better tasting. Staff is friendly and usually know what I want as soon as I come in. I’ve been a customer for a number of years and hope to be a customer for many more.

Great food. Just right, not super greasy like so many other places. Fast delivery.
