The first thing one notices upon entering the restaurant is its open, airy layout, accentuated with traditional Chinese art on the walls and in display cases. Our waiter was friendly and unobtrusive, and extremely timely on drink refills. The service was, in a word, excellent. We ordered wonton soup for two, to start. A large bowl and two smaller ones were brought out. The waiter filled the small bowls from the larger one, and left the larger bowl for refills. For a main course, we ordered chicken fried rice and Mongolian beef. Both were wonderful. The Mongolian beef was perhaps the best I have had, over a lifetime of ordering the entree. The beef was thinly sliced and extremely tender, completely avoiding the toughness that often plagues the dish. The level of spice was perfect, and the dish was accompanied by steamed rice in a separate bowl. I would recommend Wan's to anyone in the area looking for a delicious, reasonably-priced Chinese meal. The menu had most of the "standard" items one finds at Chinese restaurants, as well as a few interesting additions. We plan to return and explore it further.(4.5 out of 5 stars)

We've been here a few times before, and it was good but not outstanding. But tonight, it was really excellent! Even impressed my food-critic, former restaurant owning mama.

This is the perfect toddler restaurant because it is spacious and calm, with a giant round table area that has a little wall so toddlers can play on the carpeted floor safely ensconced from traffic/wandering for at least a little while while parents grab a highly enjoyable bite.

Outside, there is an interesting strip of shops to explore while your toddler gets some energy out on the wide sidewalk. Starbucks, a pizzaria, al fresco dining, a kids shoe store, a kids clothing boutique, Learning Express Toys, a fish market, and a wonderful little circle of 3 steps that arches around into a long curved wheelchair ramp...makes a perfect toddler exploration and play area for working up an appetite. ;)

Both my toddler and my almost 8 yo loved the veggie fried rice and pan-fried chicken dumplings (the chicken is pureed with veggies and very toddler-friendly). Grown-ups all agreed that every dish we sampled was a hit: Veggie egg-foo young, spicy Szechuan eggplant, another delish but not-spicy eggplant dish, and beef/chicken chow fun noodles that had just the slighest hint of sweetness. (My toddler also loved slurping up the noodles after she cleared her own plate).

We also loved the giant, crisp and lightly battered chicken wings, fresh sauteed green string beans (perfectly seasoned with a hint of garlic and salt), and tender shrimp dumplings served dim sum style for extra fun. It was not until the meal was almost over that we realized there was no soy sauce on the table, nor the need for any. What a wonderfully enjoyable dinner for our whole family, from 19 month old tot to 87 year old grandmother!

Terrible. I keep an open mind, and mainly ate here once because they were open when surrounding places werent.

But, the food was terrible. Im not sure what the previeous reviewers were thinking/tasting. Would never go back.

Great place for delicious Chinese food. We eat there regularly and get take-out a couple of times a month. My favorite is the special fried rice.

I sure hope everyone who read my comments from 2007 will see this, too. Wan's is under new ownership, and what a SHAME. Dinner portions have shrunk smaller than lunch, veggie variety has given way to lowest-cost carrots and celery, and the ambiance is ruined by the regular barking of orders from the lady who now owns and runs this place.

We were there last week and she was downright abusive to a very sweet teenage boy who was working his behind off to wait on every table in the place while she sat on her duff reading a Chinese newspaper. When there was a minor error on our check, she yelled at an chastized him in the middle of the dining room. I asked why the portions were so small, told her we were still hungry (even my kids) and she gave me a dirty glare and asked, "where you money?"

I would never give business to this woman again, even if her attitude was better, the food obviously has no care or talent put into it anymore, or maybe it's just a sad chef with no room for creativity or budget for water chestnuts or seasoning to make hot & sour soup actually taste like something beyond dishwater.

Sad, indeed. This used to be such a lovely little gem...does anyone know what happened to the young family who owned/ran this place with such happiness and talent?

I live very close to this location and have visited it at least once a month. The food quality is good, service is bad. There is a reason that while PF Changs has a 30 minute wait, just a 2 minute drive away Wan's has no one dining in. This was the case the last time I visited after my father and I decided not to wait at PF's. The food was good, waiter was ok. I have learned to no longer call ahead a to go order because of the awful lady mentioned above, I got sick of arriving 20 minutes later and then still waiting 10 minutes. This restaurant needs a good manager and the old chinese lady needs to go!!.
