Awesome food for a great price! The one thing I thought was the upgrade to lo mein instead of fried rice wasn’t worth it. The rice was awesome and the noodles just weren’t as good. Also, some portions vary somewhat. Both of our meals tasted great though! The robot was so cute too!

We have been eating at J wongs 1-2 times a year for the past 5 years. This will be the last time. The portion sizes are literally half of what they used to be. We came with a large group and ordered more family style thinking the portions were the same as they have always been. Boy were we surprised when tiny portions were brought out. We had to order more food to feed everyone. The prices however have stayed the same. I am not paying premium prices for poor quality food. I paid extra for “lo mein” side, but the noodles were soggy and hardly had any veggies in them. There was more breading than meat in all the meals. I feel like they thought we wouldn’t notice the lesser quality, but it is very noticeable.
The service was awkward at best, the NYK waiter asked us to pass the menus down instead of handing them out one at a time. He also did this with our waters. Our waitress was nice. We spent over $200 on this meal and it was an awful experience. Panda Express would have been a better choice.

I hadn’t been in 20 years, but the food is still as good. I ordered candied walnut shrimp and it was so good! We also ordered several appetizers and entrees for our whole party. We went at 4 pm on a Saturday. There were very few people, which we liked, but was also indicative that it wasn’t as popular as it use to be. There are robot dumb waiters and real waiters who are attentive and helpful. The interior is looking worn. The carpet is very old and worn and several of the bench seats are cracked. But the food, bith presentation and taste, were fresh and delicious. I would highly recommend if you like sweet and sour, Mongolian beef, sticky mango rice, and sesame chicken. So much good food.

I picked up lunch twice from here while in town for SmallSat. It is very convenient to the Salt Palace Convention Center. The staff was very friendly and helpful for my takeout order. The food is not 100% authentic but is much closer than what you typically find. I found the ability to make dishes spicy on a scale very nice as it allows you to tailor things to your tolerance nicely. I ended up getting an egg roll each time which was very tasty as well. One thing I’ll say is that it is very reasonably priced especially for being in downtown. Overall value is excellent and would grab lunch here again when in town for the conference.

Won’t return.
It’s 4pm, after speeding long hours at the family search library, (yes I found few ancestors!!), we’re hungry and this restaurant opens at 4.
No one is manning the restaurant. We waited then just sat down at a table. On my way to the bathroom at the back, one girl curled up in the last booth, playing with her phone, and one girl talking on the phone in the bathroom.
Dirty plates. I used the paper towel from the bathroom, wet with water to clean it.
We’ve
Mongolian pork: good, except needs more cutting of the meat and fat green onion/scallion.
Black pepper tofu: very good. The onion and bell pepper make the dish bit too sweet for me, either one with celery will taste less sweet.

Super yummy. Great prices for the lunch special. I really liked the mandarin chicken. The fried rice was super yummy.

I come here all the time and recommend it constantly. We love that it’s a calm, serene atmosphere and how consistent they are with the food’s quality. Sure, sometimes the service isn’t that of a 5 star restaurant but it’s actually one of the reasons we like it! We’re not here to talk to a server about their day— we’re here to talk to one another and enjoy our food and the atmosphere. I love J Wongs, never want it to leave SLC, which is happening with so many eateries downtown these days. The Peking Duck here is phenomenal as is the General Tao Tofu. I like the simplicity of their Fresh Rolls with Peanut Sauce— wish they had mint in them, but no biggie! Their salmon with the bok choy leaves— so good. Tom Yum Soup and Tom Kha Gai is always great.

Favorite restaurant in Salt Lake City and here’s why:
Everything we ate was fresh, flavorful, and reasonably priced. A dinner for 2 (hungry) people was $62 and included 3 appetizers, a soup, an entree, a side of noodles and a dessert. Also, they have a cat robot that helps your server to bring the food from the kitchen!

It was our first time here at J Wong’s. We were going to go to a different restaurant but they were packed since it was All Star weekend and so we decided to try J Wong’s. Their service was really good. They had robots delivering the food and taking the old dishes back. Super cool. Their food was yummy. It was a really big portion. We 1/4 of it and took the 3/4 home for the following day. The atmosphere was super chill and relaxing. We got tangerine chicken, tom yum and generals Tao’s chicken.
