I absolutely love Lao Wang! I frequently visit this place to enjoy beers with my friends, and they always give me extra foam from my pitcher on the side. Josh is the best! View all feedback.

The soup is amazing on chilly nights! I visited with some friends for soup and buns, and it was delicious. It was slightly salty but packed with flavor. The cashiers were very friendly and got cups and to-go containers for me. Yum!!

I ordered the small sweet and sour chicken rice bowl, and it was amazing! I recommend adding chili oil, Sriracha, and spicy mayo to the rice for an extra kick. Plus, I really liked the punching bag inside the restaurant!

The food was delicious, and Josh was hilarious and extremely accommodating. He gave me eight spicy mayos, and yes, I ate them all! Josh definitely deserves a raise. Thanks, man! Also, that garlic chicken bowl with garlic tofu is absolutely amazing.

I received the wrong order, but when I called, the woman who assisted me had just started her shift. She was incredibly kind and patient, even though she wasn't sure what had gone wrong. They refunded me and included a lovely note when I placed my reorder! The service is always fantastic. I'm really into the Mala Tang hot and spicy with veggies—it's absolutely delicious. And you can't go wrong with the popcorn chicken buns; they are simply amazing!
