Best WLM Reviews

I ate a lot.. but I don't think trying new stuff here as an Indian would be a great decision to make. You can go ahead with chicken fried or noodle.. mostly known names would do fine.
Very cozy restaurant with a great buzz. Crab rangoons and sizzling beef are just alright, the combination fried rice and the beef crispy noodle and great. I was not a big fan of salt and pepper fried squid, it was a bit rough for my liking. I like the new decoration, the service is quick, servers are medium friendly. They gotta clean up the entrance area though, between the outside door and the inside door there are bunches of cleaning buckets, stacked canned drinks etc. They even had a sign that said “umbrellas here” and there was another used cleaning bucket under that sign which was kinda funny. But yeah the entrance isn’t very welcoming and makes you question the cleanliness of the kitchen and other back rooms. The dining area is pretty clean though. Overall a good choice to eat in chinatown. They are only open for dinner no lunch service, it opens at 4pm.
I used to love this place but man did the customer service tank. They sat us pretty quick but it took them awhile before they took our orders. They should be going around refilling waters especially if half of the place left. They didn’t refill my water until I was finished with my dish.
The beef brisket and rice were cooked properly and were good. The vegetables were too chewy like they were kind of old. The Singapore noodles were perfect.
Had them deliver before the food was really good in the past this time I ordered Singapore noodles the same as before iv asked them to substitute pork for beef which they did in the past. But not this time I paid 19 dollars for just basically noodles and 3 shrimp with very little chicken the second order had 6 shrimp. I called and complained they said that's how it comes disappointed in my order I won't be ordering from them again due to lack of consistency and not having my situation resolved totally order for both orders of Singapore noodles $38.. just basically for noodles
This restaurant was phenomenal. Our friends brought us here for dinner while we were in town. The service was excellent and the food was as well. Couldn't have asked for a better place to stop for dinner. The crab Rangoon, wanton soup, orange chicken, and chicken fried rice were incredible and I would love to visit again!
Wish I knew about this restaurant sooner. Fast seating and speedy food delivery with no compromising on taste. I ordered the XO turnip, string beans, fish balls and chicken wings. Fairly simple food, but the taste was absolutely fantastic. All priced accordingly. The place is small with limited in seatings. But, the table availability turns quick.
Place was bustling even past midnight. Totally worth the 45 minute train ride to Chinatown though for the good food and vibes! (Please try the honey citron tea if you're feeling a bit chilly – highly recommend!)
This Chinatown restaurant serves good basic/comfort Cantonese food. There’s nothing bad about it but quality had been declining for many years.
Our favorites are wonton with flat rice noodles, salted fish fried rice and pea pod leafs.
This place used to be eaten by local Chinese, but now half the clients are non-Chinese and to be honest they don’t know what good authentic Cantonese food is even if they accidentally eat it. ????
