Solid Delivery. My wife and I had avoided Tong's for quite some time. I guess it's because Tsui King Lao has been our "go to" Chinese take-out/delivery place, we never had a reason to switch. But, since it was a holiday weekend, and TKL was closed, we decided to try Tong's. Would we order from them again? Absolutely! The exact same items? Nooooooo!
Pros:
- Debit on Delivery! It's time for other restaurants to take note; it's the digital age... give your driver a debit machine! It's a major selling point for me, and Tong's passes.
- Orange Chicken: a great savoury dish, with a delicately sweet taste. It has nice vegetables as well.
- Beijing Pork Chops: Tong's version of what others may calla Peiking Pork Chop, it was also very good. It had a powerful flavour, a nice blend of spicy with a touch of sweetness.
- Egg Rolls: My wife liked them. These were large, deep fried, and hearty.
- Singapore noodles: I'm a fan of Singapore Noodles. These had a nice blend of meat/veg/and noodle. The Curry flavour was excellent.
Cons:
- Chicken fried rice: It was rice yes, but with next to no chicken involved. A chicken may have been present during the cooking process, but there wasn't a lot in the rice itself. Next time, I might just make some basmatti while we wait.
- Gems Beef: This is what others call Ginger Beef, the crispy beef pieces with a sweet ginger sauce a veggies. Tong's Gems Beef was far too sweet for me. It was like eating a bag of Halloween candy with every bite. I don't like throwing out food, but I could not finish it. Even with diluting the sweetness with rice, it was tough to eat.
Overall, we enjoyed our food. The dishes were a decent price, we have leftovers for the following day, and there were some tasty dishes. There were a couple misses that can be avoided in the future, but the pros far outweighed the cons. Tong's is a convenient and tasty place.
Sooooo GOOD!. I think Tong's Wok is my favorite place for asian food in the city. Their Singapore Noodles and Shanghai noodles are the best I've had anywhere. They have a couple of asian beer's that are really tasty - and they can accommodate just about any request. I love the service here. Have gone many many times and will continue going back.
