What Larry D likes about Wai Heung Restaurant:
Dinner is takeout only, no table service. We did the dinner for four. Large portions, and good food. I can't ask for more. I arranged to have it ready by 5:30, and it was right on time. the can get busy at dinner time. View all feedback. What Msnadya doesn't like about Wai Heung Restaurant:
My 80 yr old husband prefers the Prairie Inn for supper. He noticed that I kept glancing over to the Chinese restaurant across the street. Last night he offered to go there for a meal. Busy with eat in diners of all ages. But the take out business kept the front very busy. The menu, typical. Noticed hot pot offered.

Wai Heung restaurant used to be a favorite for many, with fresh and delicious Chinese food at reasonable prices. However, recent reviews tell a different story. Complaints range from burnt dishes to bland, salty food, suggesting a decline in quality. Many customers were disappointed with their meals, finding them lacking in flavor and texture. Some even compared the food to a soggy mess with overpowering soy sauce. Despite this, there are still positive reviews praising the ginger beef and the promptness of the service, particularly for takeout orders. It seems like Wai Heung may have lost its touch with consistency being an issue. Overall, it appears that the once-beloved restaurant is no longer meeting the expectations of its patrons.
