I came here with four of my elderly Chinese family members.
We were genuinely surprised at the level of care, service and quality of food that we received. My family doesn’t speak English and they had all of the Chinese servers and chefs come over to greet us and take our order.
They were lovely, and so was the food. Cooked to perfection. Highly recommend!

We’ve now dined at Wan’s twice since its 2025 revival, and both experiences cemented its place as a local favorite for American Chinese fare—delivered with remarkable efficiency, warmth, and a noticeable upgrade in protein and produce quality.
First Visit:
We arrived just after 7pm to a packed house, with a 15-minute wait for a table. Despite the crowd, service was smooth and never rushed. Here’s what we ordered:
• Hot and Sour Soup: Generously filled with tofu, mushrooms, and pork. Good vinegar tang, but missing the pepper heat—remedied with a side of chile sauce.
• Egg Rolls (Appetizer): House-made, crisp but bland, mostly cabbage. The only dish we wouldn’t repeat.
• Szechuan Pork (Main): Tender shredded pork and vegetables in a garlicky brown sauce. Savory but mild; extra chile sauce brought it to life.
• House Fried Rice (Side): Excellent wok hei, well-balanced mix of egg, shrimp, and meats. Total comfort food.
The standout here was the fried rice and the overall quality of the proteins and vegetables.
Second Visit:
Returning earlier—5:45pm after the early birds—the dining room started quiet but filled quickly. Once again, service was sharp and efficient; we enjoyed a larger meal and still finished comfortably in under an hour.
• Thin-skinned Fried Pork Dumplings (Appetizer): Absolute must-order. Crispy, juicy, packed with pork flavor—far superior to the egg rolls.
• Ja Ja Mian (Main): Hearty noodles in a mild, pork meat sauce—Cantonese-American take on zhajiangmian. Good texture, but like other mains, benefits from extra chile sauce.
• Eggplant with Garlic Sauce + Shrimp (Main): Sweet, glossy sauce, perfectly cooked shrimp, and fresh, tender eggplant. Adding chile sauce balances the sweetness.
• Crispy Baby Bok Choy with Garlic (Side): The sleeper hit—light, fresh, perfectly sautéed, highlighting excellent produce.
• Cocktails: Both the Mai Tai (classic, dark rum-heavy, and strong) and the White Sesame Old Fashioned (smooth, nutty, Japanese whiskey) were generous and well-crafted.
What Didn’t Work:
• Egg Rolls: Only tried on the first visit—bland, mostly cabbage, and easily skipped.
• Spicing Overall: Our only real complaint. Most dishes are mild by default, clearly tuned to the local palate. Want more flavor? Just ask for their chile sauce—they’re happy to oblige.
Food Quality:
The proteins and vegetables on both visits were a cut above what you’ll find at most neighborhood spots—shrimp are plump and sweet, pork is tender, and every vegetable tasted crisp and fresh.
Atmosphere & Bonus:
Wan’s is always clean, comfortable, and buzzing with a loyal, mostly non-Asian crowd. Christina Wan herself was greeting guests on our second visit—officially “retired,” but clearly still part of the weekend magic.
Bottom Line:
Wan’s sets the standard for service, consistency, and ingredient quality in SoFlo’s American Chinese scene. Skip the egg rolls, focus on the dumplings, mains, veggie sides, and cocktails, and don’t be shy about asking for more spice. After two visits, we’re already looking forward to the next.

Delicious Food and Outstanding Service at Wan’s!
My husband and I ordered Wan’s in Fort Lauderdale and had a fantastic experience. I ordered the Sweet and Sour Chicken combo, which came with vegetable fried rice and a vegetable spring roll. Everything was perfectly cooked, with the chicken crispy and a tangy, flavorful sauce that wasn’t overly sweet.
My husband got the shrimp fried rice and sweet and sour soup, and he loved both!The food was absolutely delicious with generous portions.
The service was excellent!
Wan’s is a great spot for classic Chinese dishes in Fort Lauderdale. We’ll definitely order again!

We’ve always been a fan of WAN’s and Alex has done great things. The staff is very friendly and we love the food. This is our family Friday night dinner every week. Even my vegans (we have two) love eating here. We bring friends and family and always people have a great time. We are lucky to have a great local spot like this.

A Step Above Your Everyday Takeout! Wan’s takes everything you love about classic, no-frills Chinese takeout—and steps it up big time. From the flavor-packed recipes to the surprisingly warm and attentive service, there’s honestly a lot to be thrilled about! And a special shoutout to Jesse behind the bar—super friendly, welcoming, and just adds to the great vibe of the place.

Since I was at Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood airport on business, I had to get some lunch before I head up to Palm Beach Airport. So Christina Wan’s was the place to be. 15 minute drive with plenty of parking, I went in and spoke to ALEX, and asked him about Beef Chow Fun, he said that they make it exactly like New York Style. That sold me!!! He is the owner. I had one to go with a hot and sour soup. After a short and brief conversation about food, I paid for my meal and headed north. My beef chow fun was delish, flavorful, temperature hot, and hitting the palate with delight!!! The beef was tender and soft and giving me an afternoon food coma!!! It’s the wok hey!!! Wow!!! The hot and sour soup was just enough kick to it, nice and spicy with that nice taste of vinegar, mmmmmm. Add that fresh crunchy fried noodles added and it was a perfect pint of soup!!! Great conversation with Alex and Sammie!!! I’m so full!!! I will be back!!! Highly recommend!!! Check out this place on Instagram and Facebook!!!

First time there.
I found the food to be your normal average Chinese food.
Everything was good. I had hot sour soup, crab rangoon, fried pork dumplings and hunan beef and egg roll.
The rangoon was pretty darn good and rest was just Chinese food that’s same as any other Chinese place. I’ll order again sometime for sure.
It is abit on the higher price Chinese places.

I can’t express how good this place is. I was met by Alex at the front door and had a nice conversation with him about the restaurant and food. I went to Wans because I saw him on social media explaining all his food. I’m from New York and had to go and visit when I was in Ft Lauderdale. Boy they didn’t disappoint. Will be going back

Wans was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! 5/5 for everything. We drove from Miami, which was about a 45 min ride with light traffic. If it wasn’t for the positive review from FOX 25 news this morning, we would have never of known this place existed lol. We ordered quite a bit of food so hope you’re ready to read it all lol ….to start off, upon entering the restaurant we were greeted with a warm welcome and bright smile from the host. The establishment was clean and the decor was exceptionally oriental. My party and I were the only guests at the time so we could pretty much be seated anywhere. We chose a booth. Our server was polite and soft spoken. She asked if it was our first time here, “yes” so she then gave us the updates of what was new, popular, spicy, etc…a nice through yet briefing of the menu. She asked our beverages of choice me; green chai tea wicked good, a margarita for my homegirl (as the bartender was being taught how to make it, something I thought could have been done prior to shift), and an unsweetened ice tea for my significant other (sugars brought in a cute organized box). The menus are old fashioned (stapled papers) front and back which was fine for a few of us, however if you’re into the whole scanning code you might be a bit thrown off. After reviewing a very wide selection, we were ready to place our orders. Listed below is what we decided on starting with our appetizers:
* egg drop soup/wonton soup
* beef spare ribs (6 pcs)
* spring rolls (2 pcs) we ordered 3
* cucumber salad
Main entrée:
* shrimp fried rice
* veggie lo mein
* szechuan shrimp
* garlic string beans
* peking duck (1/2 size)
* white rice
* orange beef

“Bland” days are over—this was fantastic!
I almost didn’t order because of the 4.1-star rating, but I am so glad I did. I read through the old reviews from 5+ years ago complaining about flavor, and I’m here to tell you: that is not the case anymore.
The food we got tonight was incredible. The freshness really stood out—you can tell they’ve upgraded their ingredients. We ordered delivery and it arrived hot and delicious. For the price, the quality is unbeatable. If you’ve been hesitant because of old reviews, give them another shot. They are definitely back.
